    GlossaryHuman Scalp Hair Follicles

    tiny skin structures on the scalp where hair grows

    Human Scalp Hair Follicles are tiny, tunnel-like structures in the skin of the scalp from which hair grows. Each follicle anchors a single hair into the skin and is responsible for the hair's growth cycle, which includes phases of growth (anagen), rest (telogen), and shedding (catagen). These follicles are crucial for hair regeneration and are influenced by various factors, including genetics, hormones, and environmental conditions.
