Detailed explanation-1: -The two main types of hair are the shorter and thinner “vellus” hairs (peach fuzz) found on the body and the longer and thicker “terminal” hairs. Examples of terminal hairs include the hair on your head, facial hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, pubic hair, chest hair and belly hair.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hair on your scalp is terminal hair. It’s thicker and coarser than vellus hair. It grows longer and is usually darker than vellus hair on your body.
Detailed explanation-3: -During puberty, androgens-hormones such as testosterone-cause some vellus hairs to transition to terminal hairs. In men and some women, for example, many of the vellus hairs on the neck and cheeks become terminal hair that forms the beard.
