Head hair may change slightly in texture, curl, and color. This is especially likely with hair growth from previously bald areas. Eyebrows do not change because they are not androgenic.

Holocarpha virgata lined with oily glands and hairs. The linear leaves are up to long near the base of the plant and those along the stem are much smaller. The inflorescence is made up of several short branches lined densely in small, thick, green bracts. The bracts are just a few millimeters long and are tipped with glands.
