Here is an image of a strand of my hair. It is magnified 200 times. You can see the scales of the cuticle on the surface. It looks healthy with little to no damage. I used a canon powershot camera held up to the eyepiece of my microscope.

Absalom, Looks like very healthy hair there. Nice structure and and form. Have you ever measured you hair length in inches(feet)? peace, jonalbear
Hi Jonalbear, my hair ties into a ponytail about 40 inches long. My longest measured shed strand was 44 7/8" long. I saved it.

That's interesting. Maybe someday if I find a microscope I can see my strand like that. It is healthy and no wonder usually if you have really long hair it's gonna be healthy to surive for so long ;)
Wow, that is amazing! About how far down the strand was this photo taken?
About mid point. The hair was maybe 18 inches long.
