    Glossary Pigmented Hair Follicles

    structures in skin producing hair with melanin pigment

    Pigmented hair follicles are the structures in the skin that produce hair containing melanin, the pigment responsible for hair color. These follicles have active melanocytes, which are cells that synthesize and transfer melanin to the hair shaft, giving it its characteristic color, whether it be black, brown, blonde, or red.
