    Glossary Hair Follicle Microbiota

    community of microorganisms living in and around hair follicles

    Hair Follicle Microbiota refers to the community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, that reside in and around hair follicles. These microorganisms play a role in maintaining scalp health, influencing conditions like dandruff, acne, and even hair loss. Understanding this microbiota can help in developing targeted treatments for various scalp and hair disorders.
