What is asexual hair?

Asexual hair refers to hair that has been present on the body from birth and grows independently of hormonal influences or external factors. This type of hair is typically referred to as lanugo or vellus hair, which are fine and soft types of body hair that cover infants and can also be found on adults in various areas. Unlike other forms of hair that may develop or change in response to hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, or other conditions, asexual hair remains consistent in its characteristic throughout most of life.

Other options may suggest various forms of hair growth that can be influenced by external or internal factors, such as hormones or growth patterns, which do not apply to the concept of asexual hair. Understanding the distinction between types of hair and their growth patterns is essential in areas such as skincare, electrology, and laser treatments.
