The root of a human hair is the part of the hair that is normally out of sight beneath the skin.
The follicle is part of the skin (the layer called the epidermis) that is folded in below the skin surface and holds the swollen base (the bulb) of the root of the hair. Almost, but not quite. The hair root is the base of the hair that is alive and growing, and it lives in a protected pouch called a hair follicle.
