    Glossary Pigment

    natural substances that give color to tissues

    Pigment refers to the natural substances in the body that give color to tissues, such as melanin in the skin, hair, and eyes. In the context of hair, melanin is the primary pigment responsible for the wide range of hair colors, and its production and distribution can affect conditions like graying or alopecia.
