    Glossary Follicular Melanocytes

    specialized cells in hair follicles that produce hair pigment

    Follicular melanocytes are specialized cells located in hair follicles that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. These cells play a crucial role in determining the color of your hair by transferring melanin to the keratinocytes, the cells that make up the hair shaft.
