Hair: :Hair is also a musical: see Hair (musical) and Hair (movie)... Guard hair: Guard hairs are the longest, thickest hairs in a mammal's coat, forming the topcoat (or outer coat). They taper to a point and protect the undercoat from the elements. They are often waterproof and stick out above the rest of the coat.... Down hair: Down hairs, also called the ground hairs, are the very fine, fluffy hairs closest to the skin on some mammals. The hairs are short and crimped, which makes them highly efficient for trapping air and insulating the animal.... Awn hair related Images and Photos (experimental)
