What is the Cortex in reference to hair?

  1. Outer layer

  2. Inner layer

  3. Middle layer

The outer layer, or cuticle, primarily acts as a protective barrier and the inner layer, or medulla, is not present in all hair types. The bottom layer is not a term used to describe layers of hair. Therefore, the correct answer is C Middle layer.
