Terminal hair

The terminal hair is grown, strong, fully pigmented and trained hair . It differs from the lanugo hair of infants and from the vellus hair , the unpigmented and light downy hair. In mammals , all of the fur is usually made up of terminal hair. In humans, there is hair on the head , but also some other parts of the body, such as B. the eyebrows, hair on the chest and the pubic area, from terminal hair.

Terminal hair cannot always be clearly distinguished from vellus hair, especially since the hair can change into the other type. There is also an intermediate form called intermediate hair.
