In the context of hair care and styling, volume refers to the perceived fullness, lift, and body of the hair. It is the measure of how much space the hair occupies relative to the scalp, rather than the actual density of hair follicles.
Natural fragrance refers to scents derived from biological sources, such as plants, resins, and animal secretions, rather than synthetic laboratory compounds. These aromas are typically captured through extraction methods like steam distillation or cold pressing.
Kinky hair refers to a specific hair texture characterized by tight coils or zig-zag patterns. It is commonly associated with Type 4 hair in classification systems. This texture requires specific care practices to maintain moisture and health.
Stretchy hair typically indicates an imbalance between moisture and protein within the hair shaft. When hair lacks sufficient protein structure, it loses its elasticity and may stretch excessively or break without snapping back.
Unprocessed hair refers to human hair that has not been subjected to chemical treatments such as dyeing, bleaching, or perming. It retains its natural cuticle layer and original texture, making it highly valued in the wig and extension industry.
A ‘cut and color’ is a comprehensive hair salon service that combines a haircut and a chemical color treatment in a single appointment. This dual process allows a stylist to synchronize the shape of the hair with the placement of color for a cohesive aesthetic result.
