GlossaryHair Growth Direction (hair angle)

natural orientation in which hair emerges from skin

Hair Growth Direction refers to the natural orientation in which hair emerges from the scalp or skin. This direction is determined by the angle of the hair follicle and can vary across different parts of the body, influencing how hair lies and how it should be cut or styled for optimal appearance. Understanding hair growth direction is crucial for professionals in hairdressing and dermatology to achieve desired results in haircuts, treatments, and managing conditions like alopecia.
