Hair arranged so that the cuticles of all hair strands move in the same direction (down) is called _____.

Hair arranged with cuticles all facing downward

Hair arranged with mixed cuticle directions

Turned hair

Turned hair describes when the cuticles of all hair strands point in the same direction, usually downward. This uniform alignment creates a smooth surface that reflects light evenly, adds shine, and reduces snagging during combing and chemical processing. When cuticles are in mixed or alternating directions, the surface feels rough, tangling increases, and processing can be uneven. So the term that best captures this consistent, one-direction cuticle orientation is turned hair.

Hair with alternate direction
