👉 A pigmented filament of keratin which grows from a follicle on the skin of humans and other mammals.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look,
At this word “hair,” it’s quite a book!
The dictionary gives us a detailed plea,
“Pigmented filament of keratin, you see!”
Let's break that down in a way that’s bright,
To make sure everyone understands just right.
"Pigmented"
means it has color, my dears,
Like shades of brown, or blonde, or even cheers!
(If you have red hair, a fiery hue!)
“Filament”
– think of a thread so fine,
A tiny strand that grows in line.
It's like a little rope, you see it’s true,
That stretches and lengthens, just for you!
"Keratin"
is the key, don’t you fret,
It’s a strong protein, you can’t forget!
It makes up your nails and your skin too,
And gives your hair its texture, it's true!
“Grows from a follicle”
- that's where it starts,
Inside the skin, playing vital parts.
A little pocket, hidden deep below,
Where tiny hairs steadily grow.
"Humans and other mammals,"
– that’s wide and grand,
From furry foxes to a helpful hand!
Hair appears on many creatures near,
So “hair” is a feature, year after year!
Does that make sense? Any questions for me?
Now let's move onto the next word, you see!
