		+	'''Hair''' is a [[protein filament]] that grows from [[hair follicle|follicles]] found in the [[dermis]], or skin. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of [[mammal]]s.
		+	The human body, apart from areas of [[Glabrous skin#Glabrous skin|glabrous skin]], is covered in follicles which produce thick [[terminal hair|terminal]] and fine [[vellus hair]]. Most common interest in hair is focused on [[hair growth]], hair types and [[hair care]], but hair is also an important [[biomaterial]] primarily composed of protein, notably [[keratin]]. Attitudes towards hair, such as [[hairstyle]]s and [[hair removal]], vary widely across different cultures and historical periods, but it is often used to indicate a person's personal beliefs or social position, such as their age, gender, or religion.<ref>{{cite book|last=Sherrow|first=Victoria|title=Encyclopedia of Hair: A Cultural History|year=2006|publisher=Greenwood Press|location=88 Post Road West, Westport, CT|isbn=0-313-33145-6|page=iv}}</ref>
