proteins
long, coiled complex polypeptides made of amino acids.
ringed hair
variety of canities characterized by alternating bands of gray and pigmented hair though out the length of the hair strand.
salt bond
a weak, physical, cross-link side bond between adjacent polypeptide chains.
scutula
dry, sulfur-yellow, cup-like crests on the scalp in tinea favosa or tinea favus.
side bonds
bonds the cross-link the polypeptide chains together and are responsible for the extreme strength and elastictity of human hair.

also known as tinea favus; fungal infection characterized by, dry, sulfur-yellow, cup-like crusts on the scalp called scutula.
trichology
scientific study of hair and its diseases and care.

androgenic alopecia
also know as androgenetic alopecia; hair loss characterized by miniaturization of terminal hair that is converted to vellus hair; in men, it is known as male pattern baldness.
canities
technical term for gray hair; result from the loss of the hair's natural melanin pigment.
carbuncle
inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue caused by staphylococci; similar to a furuncle but larger.
catagen phase
the brief transition period between the growth and resting phases of a hair follicle. it signals the end of the growth phase.
COHNS elements
the five elements - carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur - that make up human hair, skin, tissue, and nails.
cortex
middle layer of the hair; a fiberous protein core formed by elongated containing melanin pigment.
