    number of thick, pigmented hairs on the body

    Terminal Hair Count refers to the number of thick, pigmented hairs on the scalp or other parts of the body. These hairs are fully developed and contrast with finer, lighter vellus hairs. In clinical settings, measuring the terminal hair count can help assess the effectiveness of treatments for hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
