Introduction

The most obvious section of human hair is the hair growth on the head, which grows longer than other mammals. The absence of hair growth is termed as alopecia, which is commonly called baldness. Other parts of the human body also feature different types of hair. From childhood onwards hair growth covers the whole human body regardless of sex except in the lips, the nipples, the soles of feet, the hand palms and certain external genital areas like the scar tissue and the navel. The density of hair growth varies from person to person.
