One thing I want to remember you before detailing about a hair strand, if you know the meaning of the word ‘Strand’, then it will not be difficult for you to understand about the hair strand. Simply, you can imagine a strand with a single hair, a noodle, and even a thought line. But in short, a strand is something with a long and a thin length.
Generally, every single strand of hair consists of with two main components such as a hair root and a hair shaft. Hair root: Hair root is positioned below the skin of our scalp that means within the layer of our skin like dermis and epidermis. It’s the main basement of a single strand of hair and help in our hair growth.
Each hair has a hair shaft and a hair root. The shaft is the visible part of the hair that sticks out of the skin. The hair root is in the skin and extends down to the deeper layers of the skin. It is surrounded by the hair follicle (a sheath of skin and connective tissue), which is also connected to a sebaceous gland.
