ABSTRACT

Hair is a symbol of good looks and beauty in some areas of the human body. So much time, effort, and money are spent in caring for it, especially in the case of scalp hair. In some other areas, like the beard, daily care by shaving is necessary for the majority of males. In females, abundant scalp hair is very much welcomed, unlike leg hair, facial hair, and armpit (axillary) hair. Hair distribution in certain body regions is a secondary sex characteristic and starts to appear around puberty as the beard, moustache, and body hair in males, and pubic and axillary hair in both sexes.
