MILADY’S PROFESSIONAL BARBERING COURSE MANAGEMENT GUIDE LESSON PLAN 11.0 Chapter 11: Properties and Disorders of the Hair and Scalp TOPICS 1. Introduction 2. The Structure of Hair A. Description B. Hair Root and Hair Shaft C. Chemical Composition of Hair D. Hair Growth 3. Hair Analysis 4. Hair Loss 5. Disorders of the Scalp A. Common Disorders B. Staphylococci Infections 6. Disorders of the Hair A. Gray Hair B. Other Non-contagious Conditions NOTES TO THE INSTRUCTOR It is vitally important that students understand the structure of hair because many of the judgments and decisions they will have to make about client services are dependent upon this information. As student barbers, they need to be able to analyze the hair and then suggest appropriate treatments and services; this cannot be achieved without a thorough understanding of the variables (texture, density, growth patterns, etc.) that are applicable from one individual to another. Students should be reminded that their professional responsibilities should include the goal to maintain their clients’ hair in a healthy condition through proper care and treatment. STUDENT PREPARATION: Read Chapter 11: Properties and Disorders of the Hair and Scalp STUDENT MATERIALS Milady’s Standard Professional Barbering textbook Milady’s Professional Barbering Student Workbook Milady’s Professional Barbering Student CD-ROM Writing materials Materials and supplies for 3-D model project LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this lesson, students should be able to: 1.

Introduction A. Technical understanding of hair structure important to providing knowledgeable and professional service to clients. B. Professional responsibility: proper care and treatment to maintain hair in a healthy condition C. Trichology: the scientific study of hair, its disorders, and its care D. Hair protects the head from heat, cold, and injury and is used as adornment. 2. The Structure of Hair Activity 1: Distribute copies of Supplement 11.0 to students. Have students fill in the blanks as the topic is discussed. Refer to Supplement 11.1 for the answer key. A. Description 1. An appendage of the skin; a slender, thread-like outgrowth of the skin and scalp 2. Composed chiefly of the protein keratin B. Hair Root and Hair Shaft 1. Hair root: portion of the hair beneath the skin surface, enclosed within the follicle 2. Hair shaft: portion of the hair extending above or beyond the skin surface 3. Structures of the hair root a. Main structures: follicle, bulb, dermal papilla, arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous glands. (Refer to textbook Figure 11-1.) b. Follicle: tube-like depression in the skin or scalp that encases the hair root 1. Extends down from the epidermis on an angle into the dermis; surrounds the dermal papilla 2. Bottom contains a finger-like projection called the papilla, from which new hair develops 3. Variance in follicle depth depending on the thickness and location of the skin 4. A follicle for every hair; more than one hair may grow from a single follicle. 5. Mouth of hair follicle: breeding places for germs and accumulation of sebum and dirt c. Hair bulb: thickened, club-shaped structure that forms the lower part of the hair root 1. Lower part of the hair bulb is hollow 2. Fits over and covers the dermal papilla; see textbook Figure 11-2. d. Dermal papilla: small, cone-shaped elevation at the base of the hair follicle 1. Fits into the hair bulb 2. Contains capillaries responsible for supplying oxygen/nutrients to the follicle epidermal tissue 217 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Epidermal tissue surrounds papilla and forms the hair bulb. 4. Blood and nerve supply vital to growth and regeneration of the hair. 5. Nourishment reaches the hair bulb through the papilla. 6. Healthy papilla results in new hair growth. e. Sebaceous glands: small, sac-like structures with ducts attached to each hair follicle 1. Secrete sebum that gives hair luster and pliability 2. Factors associated with sebum production: (a) diet: health of the hair declines in the absence of necessary food elements; (b) emotional stress: linked with the health of the hair through the nervous system; (c) endocrine glands: hormonal in nature; influence the hair and other aspects of health; (d) drugs: hormones and certain medications may affect the hair adversely. f. Arrector pili: minute, involuntary muscle fiber in skin attached to the hair follicle 1. Fear or cold causes contraction and makes hair stand up straight; “goose bumps.” 2. Eyelash and eyebrow hairs lack arrector pili muscles. 4. Structure of the hair shaft a. Layers of the hair shaft: cuticle, cortex, and medulla; see textbook Figure 11-3. b. Cuticle: outermost layer of hair, consisting of a single overlapping layer of transparent cells; see textbook Figure 11-4. 1. Scale-like cells point away from the scalp toward the hair ends. 2. Hair’s primary defense against damage is a healthy, compact cuticle layer. 3. Certain chemical solutions soften and raise scales to allow absorption by the cortex. c. Cortex: middle layer of the hair 1. Protein core that contains melanin pigment 2. About 90 percent of total hair weight comes from the cortex. 3. Protein structure provides strength, elasticity, and natural color to the hair. 4. Changes in hair during chemical services occur within the cortex. d. Medulla: innermost layer of the hair; composed of round cells 1. Male beard hair contains a medulla. 2. Medulla may be absent in very fine or naturally blonde hair found on the head. C. Chemical Composition of Hair 1. Introduction a. Hair is composed of protein that grows from cells originating within the hair follicle. b. Keratinization: maturation of cells as they fill with keratin, lose their nuclei, and die c. Hair shaft: a nonliving fiber composed of keratinized protein (approximately 91 percent) 2. Protein: essential organic compounds necessary for life a. Made of long chains of amino acids b. Five elements make up amino acids in hair; these are the COHNS elements. c. Human hair: 51 percent carbon, 21 percent oxygen, 6 percent hydrogen, 17 percent nitrogen, and 5 percent sulfur d. Chemical composition varies with color. 1. Light hair: less carbon and hydrogen; more oxygen and sulfur. 2. Dark hair: more carbon; less oxygen and sulfur. 3. Nature of hair protein a. Peptide or end bonds: chemical bonds that join amino acids end-to-end in a definite order 1. Peptide bonds: strongest chemical bonds in the cortex 2. Join each amino acid to form a polypeptide chain 3. Most strength and elasticity of the hair is attributed to peptide bonds. 4. There is no way to reform broken peptide bonds. 218 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Chemical processes and rough treatment of hair can break peptide bonds. 6. Polypeptide or polypeptide chain: long chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds 7. Polypeptide chains intertwine to create a coil of protein called a helix; see textbook Figures 11-5 and 11-6. b. Side bonds or cross bonds of the hair cortex 1. Hair cortex contains millions of polypeptide chains cross-linked by side or cross bonds to form a ladder-like structure. 2. Side bonds: hydrogen, salt, and disulfide bonds; account for hair strength and elasticity. See textbook Figure 11-7. c. Hydrogen bond: physical cross bond; easily broken by water or heat 1. Individual hydrogen bonds are weak but numerous. 2. Account for about one-third of hair’s overall strength 3. Add body to the hair 4. Help to keep parallel chains of polypeptides together 5. Also known as H-bonds 6. Water, dilute alkali, neutral, and acid solutions will break hydrogen bonds. 7. Drying and dilute acids will reform hydrogen bonds (see Table 11-2). d. Salt bond: physical cross bond that reacts to changes in pH 1. Account for one-third of hair’s total strength 2. Easily broken by strong acidic or alkaline solutions (Refer to textbook Table 11-2.) e. Disulfide bond: covalent bond that joins sulfur atoms of two neighboring cysteine amino acids to create cystine 1. Stronger than hydrogen and salt bonds but fewer in number 2. Account for a third of the hair’s total strength (See textbook Table 11-2.) 3. Are not broken by heat or water; require chemical solutions to change or restructure 4. Also known as sulfur bonds, S-bonds, and cystine bonds 4. Hair Pigment a. Natural hair color: the result of melanin pigment found within the cortex b. Two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin 1. Eumelanin: provides brown and black color to hair 2. Pheomelanin: provides color ranges from red and ginger to yellow or light blonde tones c. Natural color: dependent on eumelanin/pheomelanin ratio; total number and size of granules d. Hair density varies with hair color. 1. Blond: 140,000 total hairs 2. Brown: 110,000 total hairs 3. Black: 108,000 total hairs 4. Red: 80,000 total hairs 5. Wave Pattern a. Wave pattern: refers to amount of movement in the hair strand b. Descriptions: straight, wavy, curly, or extremely curly c. Wave pattern results: genetics and racial background; all found in each racial or ethnic group; see textbook Figures 11-8 and 11-9. d. Hair shapes: cross-sectional view of a hair strand e. Hair may assume the shape, size, and direction of the follicle; no strict rule. 1. Straight hair: usually round 2. Wavy hair: usually oval 3. Extremely curly hair: usually almost flat 219 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Hair Growth 1. Hair present all over the body except on the palms, soles, lips, and eyelids. 2. Three main types of hair; see textbook Figure 11-10. a. Vellus/lanugo: fine hair on cheeks, forehead, and the body; aids perspiration evaporation b. Primary terminal: short, thick hair that grows on the eyebrows and eyelashes c. Secondary terminal: long hair found on the scalp, beard, chest, back, and legs 3. Average growth of scalp hair: ½" per month 4. Growth: not increased by shaving, trimming, cutting, singeing, or ointment or oil application 5. Normal shedding a. Average loss: 75 to 100 hairs per day b. Eyebrow hairs and eyelashes: replaced every four to five months 6. Growth patterns a. Working with hair’s natural growth pattern produces a more natural-looking haircut and style. b. Hair stream: hair that flows in the same direction; two streams flowing in opposite directions form a natural part in the hair. c. Whorl: hair that forms in a circular or swirl pattern d. Cowlick: a tuft of hair that stands straight up 7. Growth cycles (See textbook Figure 11-11.) a. Anagen: growth phase 1. New hair produced 2. 90 percent of hair growing at one time 3. Lasts three to five years b. Catagen: transition phase between growth and resting phases 1. Follicle shrinks, hair bulb disappears, and shrunken root end forms a rounded club. 2. Lasts from one to three weeks 3. Less than 1 percent of hair is in the catagen phase at any one time. c. Telogen: resting phase 1. Lasts for three to six months, until fully grown hair is shed 2. About 10 percent of scalp hair is in telogen phase at any one time. 3. Growth process repeats itself once every four to five years. 8. Summary of growth cycle a. The new hair is formed by cell division from a growing point at the root around the papilla. b. The bulb loosens and separates from the papilla. c. The bulb moves upward in the follicle. d. The hair moves slowly to the surface, where it is shed. e. Barbering services include a variety of applications that benefit from a barber’s ability to analyze the condition of his or her client’s hair; in addition to wave and growth patterns, barbers should be able to analyze the hair’s texture, density, porosity, and elasticity. 3. Hair Analysis A. Analysis is performed by observation, using the senses of sight, touch, hearing, and smell. 1. Sight: what the hair looks like (dry, oily, etc.) 2. Touch: what the hair feels like 3. Hearing: listen carefully to what clients say about their hair, products, etc. 4. Smell: certain scalp disorders create an odor; healthy hair and scalp are generally odor-free. 220 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Factors in Hair Analysis: texture, density, porosity, and elasticity; growth pattern; and condition 1. Hair texture: refers to the degree of coarseness or fineness of individual hair strands a. Measures the diameter of the hair strand b. Classified as coarse, medium, or fine 1. Coarse: largest diameter; stronger than fine hair; may require more processing time or stronger products. 2. Medium: most common; considered normal; does not usually pose special problems. 3. Fine: smallest diameter; generally more fragile; easier to process; more susceptible to damage. 4. Wiry hair: may be coarse, medium, or fine; has a hard, glassy finish. 5. Determine hair texture: feel a single dry strand by rolling it between two fingers. 2. Hair density: measures the amount of hair per square inch of scalp area a. Classified as thick, average, or thin; or high, medium, or low density b. Average hair density: approximately 2,200 per square inch 3. Hair porosity: ability of the hair to absorb moisture a. Directly related to the condition of the cuticle b. Compact cuticle layer: more resistant to penetration; raised cuticle easily absorbs water. c. Classified as moderate, poor, and porous; or average, low, and high porosity 1. Moderate or average: considered normal; no special problems; chemicals process as expected 2. High or porous: considered over-porous; absorbs liquids quickly and requires special care 3. Poor or low: considered resistant; absorbs least amount of moisture; may require more alkaline solution d. Porosity check: Hold strand of dry hair between fingers while sliding down toward scalp; 1. See textbook Figure 11-12. 2. Smooth, compact cuticle equals resistant; slight roughness equals porous; breakage equals over-porous. 4. Hair elasticity: ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original length without breaking a. Normal: springy, with a lustrous appearance b. Wet hair with normal elasticity can stretch up to 50 percent of original length without breaking. c. Elasticity test: gently tug a few strands of hair; see textbook Figure 11-13. d. Elasticity level: indication of cross-bond strength 1. Normal: holds curl from wet sets and permanent waves without excessive relaxing of the curl 2. Low or poor: brittle, breaks easily, and does not hold a curl; hair may be over-processed. Activity 2: Distribute an index card to each student, then have students partner with each other. Have students use the cards to record their findings after analyzing each other’s hair texture, density, porosity, and elasticity. When the cards are completed, visit each pair of students and check their analysis. 4. Hair Loss A. Alopecia 1. Technical term for any type of abnormal hair loss; types include androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, alopecia senilis, and alopecia syphilitica. a. Androgenic: hair loss occurring as a result of genetics, age, and hormonal changes 1. Causes shrinkage of terminal hair; converts it to vellus hair. See textbook Figure 11-14. 2. Can begin as early as the teens (prematura); frequently seen by age 40 3. Known as male pattern baldness in men; see textbook Figure 11-15. 221 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning.

List the structures of the hair root. Answer: Follicle, bulb, dermal papilla, arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous glands 5. Identify the layers of the hair shaft. Answer: Cuticle, cortex, and medulla 6. What are amino acids? Answer: Chemical units that make up protein 7. What are peptide bonds? What are they also known as? Answer: Chemical bonds that join amino acids together from end to end; also known as end bonds 8. List the side bonds in the hair. What are these bonds also known as? Answer: Hydrogen bonds, salt bonds, and disulfide bonds; also known as cross bonds. 9. What are some ways in which peptide bonds can be broken? Answer: Through cutting, overstretching, or the use of strong acidic or alkaline solutions 10. In what ways can side bonds be broken? Answer: Hydrogen bonds can be broken with water, dilute alkali, neutral, and acid solutions. Salt bonds are broken by strong acidic or alkaline solutions. Disulfide bonds are broken or restructured with chemical solutions. 11. What is melanin? Answer: Hair pigment 12. What is the definition of wave pattern? Answer: The amount of movement in the hair strand 13. What is meant by a hair stream, whorl, and cowlick? Answer: A hair stream is hair that flows in the same direction; a whorl is hair that forms in a circular or swirl pattern; and a cowlick is a tuft of hair that stands straight up. 14. What happens during the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases of hair growth, and how long do the phases last? Answer: The anagen phase is the growth phase when new hair is produced. It lasts three to five years. The catagen phase is the transition phase between the growth and resting phases. In this phase, the follicle shrinks, the hair bulb disappears, and the shrunken root end forms a rounded club. It lasts from one to three weeks. The telogen phase is the resting phase and lasts for three to six months, until the fully grown hair is shed. The growth process repeats itself once every four to five years. 15. What are the characteristics of hair used in hair analysis and what are their definitions? Answer: Texture, which refers to the degree of coarseness or fineness of individual hair strands; density, which measures the amount of hair per square inch of scalp area; porosity, which is the ability of the hair to absorb moisture; and elasticity, which is the ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original shape 16. List and describe different types of hair loss. Answer: Androgenic alopecia is hair loss occurring as a result of genetics, age, and hormonal changes. Alopeica areata is the sudden falling out of hair in round patches that creates bald spots. Alopecia senilis is the normal loss of scalp hair occurring in old age. Alopecia syphilitica is caused by syphilis, and is characterized by bald areas that look moth-eaten. 17. What are the common disorders of the scalp discussed in the lesson, and what are their definitions? Answer: Pityriasis capitis simplex is classic dandruff. Pityriasis steatoides is a more severe form of pityriasis capitis. It is a greasy, waxy form of dandruff. Tinea capitis is ringworm of the scalp. Tinea sycosis is also known as barber’s itch and is a fungal infection that occurs over the bearded areas of the face. Tinea favosa is also known as tinea favus or honeycomb ringworm. It has a musty odor. Pediculosis capitis is an infestation of the hair and scalp with head lice. Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease caused by the itch mite. 225 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

What are the causes and characteristics of folliculitis and pseudofolliculitis? Answer: Folliculitis and pseudofolliculitis are inflammations of the follicle caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or yeast; by irritation caused by chemical exposure; or by mechanical irritation caused by improper shaving, hair breakage, or ingrown hairs. These irritants cause inflammation and pus as a result of hair growing under the skin. Pseudofolliculitis barbae is also referred to as razor bumps and resembles folliculitis without the pus; it is generally accepted to be caused by ingrown hair. It is caused by improper shaving and/or broken hair below the skin surface that grows into the sides of the follicle, where bacteria may develop pus and folliculitis. 19. What is sycosis vulgaris? Answer: A chronic staphylococci bacterial infection of the beard and mustache follicles 20. What is a furuncle? Answer: A furuncle or boil is an acute bacterial infection of a hair follicle producing constant pain 21. What non-contagious disorders of the hair were discussed in this lesson and what are their definitions? Answer: Canities is the technical term for gray hair. There are two types: congenital and acquired. Hypertrichosis or hirsuties is a condition of abnormal hair growth, characterized by terminal hair in areas where only vellus hair would normally grow. Trichoptilosis is the technical term for split hair ends. Trichorrhexis nodosa is the technical term for knotted hair. It has nodular swellings along the hair shaft. Monilethrix is the technical term for beaded hair. The hair breaks easily between the nodes. Fragilitas crinium is the technical term for brittle hair. ASSIGNMENTS 1.

Why is the study of hair important to the barber? So he or she will be able to provide knowledgeable and professional service to clients 2. Identify the technical term for the study of hair. Trichology 3. Describe the differences between the hair root and hair shaft. The hair root is that portion of the hair that lies below the skin surface; the hair shaft is that portion of the hair that extends beyond the skin surface. 4. List the structures of the hair root. The structures of the hair root are the follicle, bulb, dermal papilla, arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous glands. 5. Identify the layers of the hair shaft. The three main layers of the hair shaft are the cuticle, cortex, and medulla. 6. What are amino acids? Chemical units that make up protein 7. What are peptide bonds? Peptide bonds are chemical bonds that join amino acids together end-to-end; they are also known as end bonds. 8. List the side bonds in the hair. Hydrogen bonds, salt bonds, and disulfide bonds 9. Identify ways in which peptide bonds and side bonds can be broken. Peptide bonds can be broken through cutting, over-stretching, or the use of strong acidic or alkaline solutions. Water, dilute alkali, neutral, and acid solutions will break hydrogen bonds. Salt bonds are broken by strong acidic or alkaline solutions, and disulfide bonds are broken or restructured with chemical solutions. 10. What is melanin? Hair pigment 11. Define wave pattern. Wave pattern is the amount of movement in the hair strand. 12. Define hair stream, whorl, and cowlick. A hair stream is hair that flows in the same direction; a whorl is hair that forms in a circular or swirl pattern; and a cowlick is a tuft of hair that stands straight up. 13. Define and explain the anagen, catagen, and telogen phases of hair growth. The anagen phase is the growth phase when new hair is produced. It lasts three to five years. The catagen phase is the transition phase between the growth and resting phases. In this phase the follicle shrinks, the hair bulb disappears, and the shrunken root end forms a rounded club. It lasts from one to three weeks. The telogen phase is the resting phase and lasts for three to six months, until the fully-grown hair is shed. The growth process repeats itself once every four to five years. 227 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

List and define the characteristics of hair used in hair analysis. Texture refers to the degree of coarseness or fineness of individual hair strands and is measured by the diameter of the hair strand. Density measures the amount of hair per square inch of scalp area. Porosity is the ability of the hair to absorb moisture. Elasticity is the ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original shape. 15. List and describe different types of hair loss. Androgenic alopecia is hair loss occurring as a result of genetics, age, and hormonal changes. Alopecia areata is the sudden falling out of hair in round patches that create bald spots and may lead to alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis. Alopecia senilis is the normal loss of scalp hair occurring in old age. Alopecia syphilitica is caused by syphilis and is characterized by bald areas that look moth-eaten. 16. List and describe common disorders of the scalp. Dandruff, vegetable parasitic infections, animal parasitic infestations, and staphylococci infections a) Pityriasis capitis simplex is classic dandruff characterized by scalp irritation, large flakes, and an itchy scalp. It may be due to poor scalp circulation, lack of nerve stimulation, emotional or glandular disturbances, improper diet, or poor personal hygiene. b) Pityriasis steatoides, a more severe form of pityriasis capitis, is caused by excessive shedding of scales and an accumulation of greasy, waxy scales mixed with sebum. c) Tinea capitis is ringworm of the scalp, caused by a vegetable or plant parasite. It is characterized by red papules at hair follicle openings. d) Tinea favosa is also known as tinea favus or honeycomb ringworm. It is characterized by dry, yellowish, cup-like crusts on the scalp that have a peculiar, musty odor. It is highly contagious and medical treatment is required. e) Pediculosis capitis is an infestation of the hair and scalp with head lice. Head lice feed on the scalp and cause severe itching. Lice may be transmitted through the common use of personal items, combs, furnishings, and so forth. f) Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease caused by the itch mite. Scratching affected areas may cause vesicles and pustules. It is contagious and cases should be referred to a physician for medical treatment. 17. Explain the similarities and differences associated with folliculitis barbae and pseudofolliculitis barbae. Folliculitis and pseudofolliculitis are inflammations of the follicle caused by bacteria or irritation. Staphylococcus aureus and yeast are common bacterial causes of folliculitis. Chemical exposure and mechanical irritation caused by improper shaving, hair breakage, or ingrown hairs are irritants that cause folliculitis and may be accompanied by inflammation and pus as a result of hair growing under the skin. Pseudofolliculitis barbae, also referred to as razor bumps, resembles folliculitis without the pus. It is caused by improper shaving and/or broken hair below the skin surface that grows into the sides of the follicle, where bacteria may develop pus and folliculitis. 18. List and describe disorders of the hair. Canities is the technical term for gray hair. There are two types: congenital and acquired. Hypertrichosis or hirsuties is a condition of abnormal hair growth, characterized by terminal hair in areas where only vellus hair would normally grow. Trichoptilosis is the technical term for split hair ends. Trichorrhexis nodosa is the technical term for knotted hair. It has nodular swellings along the hair shaft. Monilethrix is the technical term for beaded hair. The hair breaks easily between the nodes. Fragilitas crinium is the technical term for brittle hair. 228 © 2011 Milady, a part of Cengage Learning.
