Human hair pigmentation – biological aspects [PDF]
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2008 SynopsisSkin and hair colour contribute significantly to our overall visual appearance and to social/sexual communication. Despite their shared origins in the embryologic neural crest, the hair follicle and epidermal pigmentary units occupy distinct, although open, cutaneous compartments. They can be distinguished principally on the basis of the former’
