    specialized cells in hair follicles that produce hair pigment

    Follicular melanocytes are specialized cells located in hair follicles that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. These cells play a crucial role in determining the color of your hair by transferring melanin to the keratinocytes, the cells that make up the hair shaft.
