    Terminal hair growth refers to the development of thick, pigmented hairs that replace the finer, lighter vellus hairs during puberty or in response to hormonal changes. These mature hairs are typically found on the scalp, face, armpits, and pubic area, and are influenced by androgens, particularly testosterone.
