What are the different types of hair?

[Purdy Bear]

I was wondering what the different types of hair on the scalp are called. I know there are baby halo hairs, just around the edge but what else are there?

hairs in the anogen phase?

There is probably a more scientific definition, but those little peach fuss hairs that doesn’t have the structure or colour of the head hair are called “vellus” hairs
