Hair

Hair is found all over the body except on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. A single hair has several layers: the visible shaft, the root embedded in the skin, the follicle, and papilla. Oil-secreting glands called sebaceous glands secrete oil which keeps each hair soft and pliable. Different hair colours are due to the different amounts of pigments in the outer layer of the hair.
