I find that you can pick crud out of the male side of velcro with a pin- sort of rake through it and pull out the fuzz as it comes up off the surface. Female velcro (the softer side) can't really be cleaned and doesn't tend to pick up stuff. If you find that the female side no longer sticks to good clean male velcro, the female probably needs to be replaced.
The hook and loop on a hat is the velcro at the back, where it does up, the loop is the soft furry side of the velcro and the hook is the hard,scratchy side!
The loop side of Velcro is smooth and soft. The hook side of Velcro is rough and scratchy. The hooks catch on the loops to stick them together.
The loop side of Velcro is the softer side with small hooks that interlock with the firmer hook side to create a secure closure.
The two sides of velcro are the hook and the loop, also sometimes called the male and female sides of velcro. The hook is the scratchy, male side. The loop is the soft, female side. I'm not an expert in french, but I believe the word vel-cro comes from the words for loop and hook, in french.
The word 'velcro' comes form the two French words "velours" or 'velvet' and "crochet", or 'hook'. Thus the side that hooks is the one that is rough rather than velvet to the touch.

There is only one type of Velcro but it consist of two parts: The hook part and the loop part. Velcro got its name from the French velour (velvet like ) and crochet (hook).
Yes, the hook and loop structure of a velcro fastener is a solid structure.
A hook-and-loop fastener, commonly known as Velcro, is a type of fastening system that consists of two components: a hook side and a loop side. When pressed together, the hooks on one side cling to the loops on the other side, effectively holding objects together.
Just the one because Velcro is a Brand name , hook and loop fasteners are the actual product that Velcro did not patent
