Junior Level Hair Design Practice Exam

Lanugo is the fine fetal hair that covers the fetus, and it is typically shed before birth. After birth, the body is covered by vellus hair—fine, soft hair that is lighter and less pigmented. This vellus hair replaces lanugo on the newborn, and in puberty some areas may then develop terminal hair, which is thicker and darker. Pili torti is a hair shaft disorder and not part of the normal replacement process.
