On most adult humans there are two main types of hair: terminal hair, and vellus hair. A third type, lanugo hair, is present in the fetus, and some newborn babies.

Vellus hair is a very soft and short hair that grows most places in the body in both sexes. In caucasians it is often colourless, or blonde. It is best seen in women and children, as they have less terminal hair to obscure it.

The speed of growth is roughly 10 cm/yr = 0.3 mm/day = 3 nm/s. The cells at the base of the hair follicle divide and grow extremely rapidly. This is why people under chemotherapy sometimes lose their hair; the treatment targets any rapidly-dividing cell, not just the cancerous ones.
