Scanning electron micrographs of the tips of various hair fibres illustrating the technique used in assessing the degree of damage of a fibre. (a) Degree of damage (d) = O Cuticle visible across the entire width of the hair (b) Degree of damage (d) = 1 Approximately }{ of the cuticle has been removed (c) Degree of damage (d) = 2 Approximately }5 of the cuticle has been removed.
