Hair is a modified form of skin, specifically derived from the epidermis. It consists primarily of a protein called keratin, which is also found in nails and the outer layer of skin. Hair follicles, located in the dermis, are responsible for the production and growth of hair strands. This modification serves various functions, including protection, insulation, and sensory perception.
