Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The matrix is the part of the hair follicle where matrix keratinocytes proliferate to form the hair shaft of growing hair. Melanocytes are mixed amongst the matrix cells to provide the hair shaft with color.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is derived from the dermis mesenchyme, located at the base of the hair follicle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Myth: A hair falling out with a white bulb attached means it won’t grow back. False! If you notice that some of your fallen hairs have a small white lump or bulb at the root, you shouldn’t worry. This does not mean that the root of your hair has been removed, or that the follicle is dead.
