    Scalp hair, also known as head hair, refers to the hair that grows from the scalp, the skin covering the top of the human head. It is composed of keratin, a protein that provides strength and resilience. Scalp hair plays a role in protecting the scalp from UV radiation, regulating body temperature, and can also serve as an indicator of overall health.
