Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of the anatomy and functioning of hair. It also provides information on the importance of hair as fashion statement. To modify ones looks, people try different cosmetics not just on the skin but also for hair. Most of the hair cosmetics available today have all harmful synthetic chemicals into them. So there’s a need to look out for safe cosmetics which could be provided only from natural sources like plants.
