		Vellus hair is short, fine, "peach fuzz" body hair.
		Vellus hair is a very soft and short hair that grows in most places on the human body in both sexes.
		Vellus hair is also found in pre-adolescents (Tanner stage 1) as well as in male pattern baldness.

	Hair
		Hair is found on almost every part of the body surface except on the palms, soles, the dorsal surface of the terminal phalanges, the inner surface of the labia, the inner surface of the prepuce and the glans penis.
		Hairs differ in length (short or long), thickness (thick or thin) and colour (fl, brown or blonde) in different parts of the body and in different races (curly or straight).
		The hair follicle and its hair are fundamentally one structure derived partly from undifferentiated cells of the foetal epidermis.

		Vellus hair, also referred to as "peach fuzz," is a very soft and short type of hair that grows on most parts of both the male and female human body.
		Vellus hairs generally do not grow more than 2 cm in length and are not attached to sebaceous glands, which are found in the skin of humans and other mammals.
		Hair removal creams, also known as depilatories, are products which chemically dissolve hair, allowing it to be easily scraped or brushed off the skin.

	hair biology - types of hair fiber
		Primary hair is the hair type produced in the very first cycle of hair growth that a hair follicle enters shortly after it develops in the embryo.
		The secondary or vellus hair gradually replaces the primary hair and depending on position of the body where the hair follicles are present, the vellus hair may turn to tertiary or terminal hair.
		Many hair follicles take little notice of the general levels of hormones those follicles of the eyebrows, lashes, and extremities of the hands and feet are generally consistent in their production of fiber regardless of hormone concentration in males and females.

	Types of hair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Vellus hair remains on the so-called hairless regions of the body, such as the forehead and balding scalp.
		At puberty, the vellus hair in some areas is replaced by terminal hairs, which are the long hairs that grow on the head and in many people on the body, arms and legs too.
		Body hair continues to develop long after puberty, stimulated by male hormones that paradoxically, also cause terminal hair to be replaced by vellus hair when balding begins.

		Hair can continue to grow from 2-6 years, when the growth phase ends the hair follicle starts a 2-6 month phase of resting and then shedding.
		Every hair has a genetic predisposition; the gene that determines whether an individual will be susceptible to androgenetic alopecia is located on non-sex chromosomes that determine the genetic makeup of all cells.
		As the diameter of the hair shaft continues to decrease in size the sebaceous glands continue to secrete the same volume of sebum (fats and oils which lubricate the hair).

	Hair types - vellus, intermediate and terminal
		Vellus is soft, fine and short hair and is usually found on the face of women.

	Hair Growth Study
		Hair grows from primary follicles, which are formed by the differentiation of cells in the embryonic epidermis, and further growth causes the hair to become embedded in the dermis (Figure 1).
		Hair growth is regulated by several factors.27,29 The influence of innervation on the growth of hair has been studied in animals, and the experimental methods that were used involve total denervation, sympathetic denervation, and excision in follicle transplantation.
		In hair follicles from scalps that have balding traits, the androgen hormone causes metamorphosis of terminal hair to vellus hair by shortening the cell cycle that leads to premature senescence of the follicles.

		Hair growth begins beneath the surface of your skin at a hair root inside a hair follicle, a small tube in the skin.
		Terminal hair is coarser, darker, and longer than vellus hair and is the type of hair that grows on your head.

	new hair growth and vellus hair
		Vellus hair is the fine soft translucent hairs that cover the face and most of the body.
		Terminal hairs are thicker and darker like the ones found on the head, and in the armpits and pubic areas.
		In other cases it may simply be encoded in your genetic makeup that the vellus hairs at the hairline of the scalp start becoming terminal at this point.

		Hair growth is present in different stages and in special balance in normal individuals, where the growing hairs constitute the majority.
		The hair shaft consists of the sheath or cuticle, the cortex and the medulla.
		The hair is fine and dry; the diameter of the hair bulbs is reduced to a third of normal and almost all follicles are in telogen state.

	male and female pattern baldness information
		Hairs in an intermediate state between terminal and vellus hairs will also be observed.
		Beneath the miniaturized vellus hair follicle a fibrous tract, known as a streamer or follicular stela, can be observed marking the terminal hair follicle bulb’s original position to the base of the current vellus hair dermal papilla.
		As pattern baldness progresses, the hair follicles go through several hair cycles and with each one the follicles become shorter, finer, and less pigmented until the initially large terminal hair follicle has become a small vellus hair follicle.

		Androgenic hair is the hair that greatly increases in heaviness and rate of growth with puberty.
		Pigmented thick hairs may grow from a scar, presumably because in the process of growing a scar, the vellus hair follice is triggered into to growing as a thicker pigmented hair follicle.
		It is the hair in these areas that appears earlier or grows to excess in disorders of excess androgen (e.g., precocious puberty, late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and polycystic ovary syndrome).

	Laser hair removal in Denver, Colorado
		Vellus hair, typically fine textured and lightly pigmented, lacks sufficient chromophoric properties to be permanently disabled by laser techniques.
		Vellus hair generally is not disabled against future growth by laser treatment and is generally too fine and abundant to be treated economically by electrolysis.
		Because it is not a depilatory, it is applied after hair removal procedures (either electrolysis, laser, tweezing or waxing) and remains on the skin as long as possible.

	Viviscal Hair Loss Product Results Study Number 1
		In some animals, such as rats and mice, all hair appears to be in the same state of activity and all cyclic changes are synchronized(1), whereas in humans the cycle of each follicle occurs independently from that of the adjacent ones, thus exhibiting a mosaic pattern.
		Hair growth is regulated by several factors(2-4) and the roles of innervation and vascularization have not been fully elucidated.
		Vellus hairs are short, fine, soft, usually non-pigmented and unmedullated, whereas terminal hairs are large, heavily pigmented and medullated, and intermediate hairs occur on the scalp and demonstrate a morphology between those of terminal and vellus hairs, i.e.

	HairPrime Double Blind Hair Growth Study
		Two of the commonly used methods of evaluating hair growth are: (1) counting the hair on the scalp in a marked area and (2) various photographic techniques.
		After rinsing the hair at the permanent site with water and soap, the hair was washed with acetone to remove any debris that could change its weight.
		The hair collected was placed on white paper, counted and then divided into terminal hair (non-vellus, melanized, mature hair) and vellus hair.

	Hirsutism andCAH, CARES Foundation
		Hair then enters a transitional, or catagen, phase, when chemical and structural changes cause the follicle to regress and stop growing.
		Hair growth in humans is asynchronous, meaning that growth and shedding of each follicle is independent of surrounding follicles.
		Upon cooling of the wax, hairs are imbedded within the wax and when the wax is pulled away in a quick motion, the trapped hairs are pulled away with it.

		The varying effects of circulating androgens and the different types of human hair in various locations have led to the hypothesis that there are differences in the metabolism of hormones in follicular tissue.
		The effects of androgens on sexual hair growth and scalp hair loss could be mediated through changes in intracellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate.

		Eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHC), first reported in 1977, are characterized by 1-3 mm, skin-colored papules on the chest and extremities [1].
		Vellus hairs, unlike terminal hairs, are small in diameter and lack pigment.
		Eruptive vellus hair cysts may be attributed to abnormal development of vellus hair follicles, either making them susceptible to blockage or leading to a disruption of the attachment between the proximal and distal ends of the follicle [1].

	Hair loss question about Vellus Hair Loss
		Since vellus hairs will have a very large telogen:anagen ratio, it can be expected that disproportionate numbers of vellus hairs will be shed on a daily basis.
		The vellus hairs donÂ’t contribute to the appearance of thick hair on your head and the hope is that with the combination of topical minoxidil and an agent to decrease the DHT around the hair follicles, the replacement hairs of the succeeding anagen phase will have a much thicker texture and normal pigmentation.
		The numbers of hairs normally shed on a daily basis (50 to 100 hairs) is the average for the typical 20 year-old, who will have ~90% of the scalp follicles in the anagen phase.

		Vellus hair is shallowly rooted in the scalp and extremely fragile, easy to detach from the scalp and more susceptible to environmental conditions.
		This miniaturization, occurs when the hair follicle deterioration from pollutants and/or toxins cause individual hairs to become smaller and finer until the follicle remains in the telogen (resting phase) and is totally dormant.
		Hair must be replaced at the same rate of loss in order to maintain current thickness and volume.

	Hair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hair is a filamentous outgrowth of dead cells from the skin, found only in mammals.
		Savanna Theory suggests that nature selected humans for shorter and thinner body hair as part of a set of adaptations to the warm plains of the savanna, including bipedal locomotion and an upright posture.
		From childhood onward, vellus hair covers the entire human body regardless of sex or race except in the following locations: the lips, the nipples, the palms of hands, the soles of feet, certain external genital areas, the navel and scar tissue.

		Vellus hairs are short hairs, only a centimetre or two long, and contain little or no pigment.
		Terminal hairs are the long hairs that grow on the head and in many people on the body, arms and legs too.
		This is often mistakenly thought to be due to head rubbing; hairs broken by rubbing may, however, be found on other parts of the head as well.
