GlossaryScalp Hair

hair growing from the scalp, primarily composed of keratin

Scalp hair, also known as head hair, refers to the hair that grows from the scalp, the skin covering the top of the human head. It is composed of keratin, a protein that provides strength and resilience. Scalp hair plays a role in protecting the scalp from UV radiation, regulating body temperature, and can also serve as an indicator of overall health.
