Vellus hair is lightly pigmented and distributed over much of the body as "peach fuzz". Arrector pili is the muscle that causes hair to stand up when we are cold or frightened. Terminal hair is thick, pigmented hair found on the scalp, face, and body where there is a heavier concentration of hair follicles. Intermediate hair is a type of hair that is thicker than vellus hair but not as thick as terminal hair.
