Vellus Hair– fine and fluffy peach fuzz that grows over the body in both sexes during their life, mostly un-pigmented. This hair comes in incredibly handy when working on brow shaping and shape correction on a client with little terminal hair.
Key Points:
- Peach fuzz or vellus grows everywhere on the body except the palms of hands, soles of feet, behind the ears and internal genital area
- Vellus hair can transition into a terminal hair when triggered by a hormonal change, medication or long term hair removal
- Vellus hair can increase on areas of the body when the person experiences hormonal changes such as pregnancy and menopause
