Which hair type is associated with newborns?

  1. Vellus

  2. Terminal

  3. Lanugo

  4. Keratinous

The correct answer is: Lanugo

Lanugo hair is usually associated with newborns and is the first type of hair that develops while a baby is still in the womb. Vellus hair is typically present on the rest of the body and is shorter and less pigmented than terminal hair. Terminal hair, which is associated with adults, is longer, thicker, and darker in pigmentation. Keratinous hair is a general term for all hair types and is not specifically associated with newborns.
