Junior Level Hair Design Practice Exam

Which term describes short, fine, non-pigmented hair that replaces Lanugo?

Lanugo Vellus Terminal Canities

Correct Answer:

Vellus

Explanation:

Understanding how hair types differ and develop helps explain what replaces Lanugo. Lanugo is the fine, soft hair that covers a fetus. After birth, this hair is shed and typically replaced by vellus hair, which is short, fine, and non-pigmented. Terminal hair, by contrast, is longer, thicker, and pigmented, and canities refers to gray or white hair, not a replacement for Lanugo. So the term for short, fine, non-pigmented hair that replaces Lanugo is vellus.
