There is two main pigments found in human hair: Eumelanin has an oval or elliptical shape, which gives color to brown or black hair and is dark pigment. The higher the concentration of Eumelanin the darker the hair. Pheomelanin is what produces the color in blonde or red hair.
Hair is made up of a protein called keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin at the rate of about six inches a year. The hair you can see is actually a string of dead keratin cells. More hair follicles go into the resting phase, and the remaining hairs become shorter and fewer in number. 2  Androgenic alopecia is a genetic condition that can affect both men and women. 3  Men with this condition, called male pattern baldness, can begin suffering hair loss as early as their teens or early 20s.
