Hair develops from follicles found in the dermis or skin. It is one of the distinguishing features of warm-blooded creatures. The human body is covered in follicles which produce both thick terminal hair and fine vellus hair, except for areas of glabrous skin. Hair is primarily made of protein keratin and serves as a vital biomaterial, though attitudes towards hair vary across societies and time periods, and is sometimes used to indicate age, gender, or religion.
