If we look at our arms or the top of our arms by a magnifying glass a little closer. We see little pits all over the surface with hairs growing out of pits. Each hair grows out of a tiny sac like structure called a hair follicle the main parts of which lie below the surface of our skin. The color of the hairs is due to a matter called pigment in the cells. Lighter hair has less pigment and dark hair has a lot of pigment while white hair has no pigment. The shape of the hair stands determines how to curly or straight our hair is. Hairs are important for us. They keep us warm. Hairs trap a lager of air to our skin. The hairs also bring oil to surface of skin.
