    Glossary Terminal Hair Follicles

    structures producing thick, pigmented hair on scalp and body

    Terminal hair follicles are the structures in the skin that produce terminal hair, which is the thick, pigmented hair found on the scalp, face, armpits, and pubic area. Unlike vellus hair, which is fine and light, terminal hair is coarser and darker, and its growth is influenced by hormonal changes, particularly androgens.
