SATINIQUE Hair Care Science

In a healthy strand of hair, the outer layer, called the cuticle, lies flat to the hair, making the hair look smooth and shiny. Cell Membrane Complex (CMC) sits between the cuticle and the shaft of the hair, creating a protective barrier that helps hold in moisture to keep the hair supple.

In damaged hair, like the one shown here, the cuticle is raised up, making the hair look dull. Cell Membrane Complex is lost, and moisture escapes, making the hair dry and brittle.
