ANDROGENICHAIR

Androgenic hair

Androgenic hair, colloquially body hair, is the terminal hair that develops on the human body during and after puberty. It is differentiated from the head hair and less visible vellus hair, which are much finer and lighter in color. The growth of androgenic hair is related to the level of androgens in the individual. Due to a normally higher level of androgen, men tend to have more androgenic hair than women.
