Beard
Gentlemen, the hairs of your beard are rooted in your skin thanks to the hair follicle (the root of the hair). The visible part that comes out of the skin is formed by three concentric layers which are the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla. Note that the hair is rooted about 4mm below the skin. It is formed within the hair follicle by an assembly of two types of cells, keratinocytes and melanocytes. These cells multiply very quickly and divide continuously.
Life cycle
As with hair, beard hairs have a lifecycle, from growing to falling. It is normal to lose it every day. This life cycle can vary according to the areas of the face (between 6 to 15 months for the beard). As the life cycles progress, the hairs that grow back in theory become finer.
