Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hair grows all over the human body except the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and lips.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hair follicles originate in the first and second layers of your skin (epidermis and dermis). Follicles holding your terminal hair, or the hair that grows on your scalp, eyelashes and eyebrows, extend into the first and second layer of your skin and sometimes into the third layer (subcutaneous tissue).
