    thick, coarse, pigmented hair found on the scalp and body

    Terminal hair refers to the thick, coarse, and pigmented hair that develops during puberty and is found on various parts of the body, such as the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and, in adults, the armpits and pubic region. Unlike vellus hair, which is fine and light, terminal hair is more robust and plays a role in providing protection and insulation.
