Dims Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have noticed that if single black hair is pulled out from skin by pincers, it appears to be white near the thick root. I.e. the black color is appearing far frome the hair root. Does this mean that coloring pigment is generated far from the place, where hair material itself is generated? Or this means that pigment undergoes some sort of maturation during the grow? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPanic Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think it is because you pull out more than just the hair. The root is not just the very bottom... as you can see in the link, quite a long part of the hair is inside the skin, where it is being formed.
