Dry dandruff From the text: Pityriasis capitis simplex (KAP-ih-tis SIM-pleks) is the technical term for scalp inflammation marked by dry dandruff, thin scales, and an itchy scalp. The scales are usually attached to the scalp in masses or scattered loosely in the hair. Occasionally, the scales are so profuse that they fall to the shoulders. Dry dandruff is often the result of a sluggish scalp caused by poor circulation, lack of nerve stimulation, improper diet, emotional and glandular disturbances, and poor personal hygiene. Treatments include the use of mild or medicated shampoos, scalp treatments, regular scalp massage, daily use of antiseptic scalp lotions, and medicated scalp ointments.

Elasticity From the text: The cortex, middle layer of the hair, is made up of millions of polypeptide chains. These polypeptide chains are cross-linked together, like a ladder, by three different types of side bonds: hydrogen bonds, salt bonds, and disulfide bonds. These side bonds hold the hair fibers in place and account for the incredible strength and elasticity of human hair. These side bonds are essential to wet sets, thermal styling, permanent waving, and chemical hair relaxing (see Chapter 15).
