 2] HAIR ANATOMY:

Hair is an intertwined system with specific chemical and physical gets It's a complex structure
composed of multiple morphological factors that work as a unit. All hair contains a shaft
and a root. The shaft is the part of the hair which is visible that attaches to the skin. Hair roots are
present inside the skin and reach the deeper layers of the skin. It's gird led by hair follicles
(coverings of skin and connective towel) that are also connected to sebaceous glands. Each hair
follicle is connected to a small muscle (pillar muscle) that can unbend the hair. Numerous letters
also end in hair follicles. These jitter sell hair movement and are sensitive to indeed the
fewest earth. At the hairline, the hair root spreads into a circular bulb. There's a dermal papilla
inside the hair bulb, which supplies blood to the hair root. New hair cells are continuously Ming in
the hair bulb near the papilla. The hair shaft of mammals is divided into three main regions.[5]

a) Cuticle

b) Cortex

c) Medulla

Fig.1 Hair Anatomy

7 MAHATMA GANDHI INSTITUTE OF PHARMACY, LUCKNOW

 A] Cuticle
The cuticle of the hair is naturally made with a substance called sebum, which protects the
hair from drying out. So, when the cortex of the hair penetrates, it removes the defensive sebum.
The cuticle is open and natural must be closed to return to a healthy state. The cuticle made up of
lapping cells like fish scales or roof penstocks, is the defensive subcaste of the hair that fast own.
A healthy cuticle is smooth and flat. It includes luster to the hair and protects the inner layers
from damage. It also minimizes the movement of humidity in and out of the beginning
cortex, maintaining the hair's humidity balance and inflexibility. still, chemical treatments
and exposure to these dements lift the cuticle and upset this balance, making hair dry and brittle.
[5]

B] Cortex
The cortex makes up the bulk and color of the hair. It consists of long beaches of keratin held
together by disulfide and hydrogen bonds. Cortical health is largely dependent on the integrity
of the cuticle that protects the cortex. The cortex is the largest part of the hair, counting for roughly
75% of its weight. The cortex, present in the middle of each hair fiber, is composed of long, tightly
packed keratin spindles stabilized by disulfide bonds. These keratin spindles are arranged
crescively starting from the lowest structure, the keratin protein itself, to the largest and final
structure, the cortex itself. The cortex gives strength to the hair and also houses melanin grains.
These are the color packets responsible for the color of the cortex also responsible forgiving the
hair its shape and texture, performing in it being either straight, crimpy, coiled.

C] Medulla
The medulla is the inner sub caste of the hair shaft. This nearly unnoticeable subcaste is the softest,
most fragile, and serves as the gist or core of the hair.

(10), added the herbal excerpt and blend by shaking continuously at the time period of 20
min. 1ml of bomb juice was also added with non stop shifting. To enhance the aroma in the
expression, a sufficient volume of essential oil painting (rose oil painting) was added and
make up the volume to 100 ml with gelatin.

 Evaluation of herbal shampoo

The set expression was estimated for product performed Ability which includes organoleptic characters, pH,
physicochemical characterization, and for solid content. tests were performed for face pressure, froth
volume, froth stability, and wetting down time using standard protocol.

 pH determination
The pH of the set herbal shampoo in distilled water (10v/v) was estimated by means of a pH
analyzer at room temperature.(20)

16 MAHATMA GANDHI INSTITUTE OF PHARMACY, LUCKNOW

  Surface tension measurement
The set shampoo in distilled water (10w/v) was estimated for face pressure using astalagmometer
at room temperature. (22)

oil-paper importing 0.44 g was cut into a slice of periphery measuring 1 inch over the
shampoo(1%v/v) face, the oil paper slice was kept and the time taken for the paper to sink was
measured using the sand glass.
