Glossary Hair Growth Patterns

natural direction and arrangement in which hair grows

Hair Growth Patterns refer to the natural direction and arrangement in which hair grows on the scalp and body. These patterns are influenced by genetics, and they determine the way hair falls, swirls, and parts. Understanding these patterns is crucial for hairstylists to create flattering haircuts and for dermatologists to diagnose and treat hair disorders effectively.
