GlossaryHypopigmented Hair Bulbs

hair follicles producing lighter-colored hair due to reduced pigment

Hypopigmented hair bulbs refer to hair follicles that produce hair with less pigment than normal, resulting in lighter-colored hair. This can be observed in conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss and regrowth of hair that may initially lack pigment.
