    process of forming and growing hair from follicles

    Hair Shaft Production refers to the process by which hair is formed and grows from the hair follicle. This involves the division and differentiation of cells in the hair bulb, which is located at the base of the follicle. These cells produce keratin, a protein that makes up the hair shaft, which then extends out through the skin. This process is regulated by various genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors.
