Definition of Healthy Hair

[My Friend]

Please describe in your own words.

IN GENERAL; hair that is not breaking off, does not have split ends.

I won't say just long hair, because there is short hair that is healthy too. Although hair that is chemically altered can be argued up and down as not being healthy - I feel like if it's not breakin, snappin, poppin' off - then it's healthy! Just my opinion.

Not breaking off
Able to retain moisture
Has a natural sheen or shine
No split ends

ETA: Length is NOT an indication of hair health.

its growing
healthy shine
not breaking
moisturized/soft
i believe some splits are inevitable though..

Great questions!

Healthy hair is hair that has great POROSITY!

So the cuticles are lie flat, which means that the hair has shine and swang. Hair is bomb porosity isn't heat damaged, isn't over processed, hold moisture well.

Moisture/protein can always be fixed. Split ends can be cut. But hair with wack porosity is the WORST, I would know. It just makes you hate your hair.

Not breaking off. Not dried out and crunchy looking. No split ends.

same here...and my hair is thick,growing and healthy(IMO),

i get knots too which eventually lead to splits cause of my coily hair texture. i can only help minimize them..it just comes w/territory..so splits aren't always a sign of unhealthy hair IMO, of course

I don't know how....the hair is in one piece....there's no split or bubble or anything at any point in the hair. it's just in one piece from the root to the tip....
