A corrective hair treatment deals primarily with the hair shaft because it is designed to repair and improve the health and appearance of damaged or compromised hair. While the scalp, follicle, and papilla all play important roles in hair growth and health, they are not the main focus of a corrective hair treatment. The scalp is the skin on our head where hair follicles reside, while the follicle is the structure within the scalp that produces hair. The papilla is a cluster of cells at the base of the follicle that nourishes and supports hair growth. However, these areas are not typically the targets of corrective hair treatments, which are aimed at repairing existing hair on the shaft.
