The base of hair follicles is located in the dermis layer of the skin, specifically within a structure called the hair bulb. This bulb contains cells that divide and differentiate to form the hair shaft and the inner root sheath. Additionally, the hair follicle is surrounded by connective tissue and contains blood vessels and nerves that support hair growth and sensory functions.
