2. Hair that grows from most parts of the skin except for the soles of the feet, palms of the hands and lips. This is also known as vellus hair.

3. Human fetus hair is known as lanugo hair which is shed shortly after birth.

Daily Hair Tip

A perfect hair knot is one of the simplest ideas to jazz up the back of any hair. The most important part of having a hair knot is that it look immaculate and be pinned securely. If your hair is too short to form a hair knot you can clip on a fake ponytail and twist it into the knot of your choice.
