Which layer of the internal epidermal root sheath is known for containing hyaline?

The inner epidermal root sheath of hair follicles has several layers, and Henley’s layer is specifically recognized for containing a substance called hyaline. Hyaline is a glassy, translucent material that contributes to the structure and function of this layer, providing support and protection for the hair follicle. Henley’s layer is situated between the outer layer of the root sheath and Huxley’s layer, and its compositional characteristics are significant in maintaining the integrity of the hair as it emerges from the follicle.

Understanding the specific roles of each layer in the root sheath can help practitioners in the field to better assess follicle health and address any concerns related to hair growth and skin conditions effectively.
