    GlossaryHair Shaft Differentiation

    process where hair follicle cells form distinct hair layers

    Hair Shaft Differentiation refers to the process by which cells in the hair follicle transform into the distinct layers that make up the hair shaft. This involves the specialization of cells into the medulla, cortex, and cuticle, each contributing to the hair's structure, strength, and appearance. This process is crucial for the proper formation and function of hair.
