From the “infundibular cysts” hair germs form followed by follicular buds and then pegs which grow asymmetrically to differentiate into cycling mature pilosebaceous structures. This process involves the aggregation of epithelial cells to form clusters which are sculpted by apoptosis to generate “infundibular cysts”. Kurt Stenn has over 30 years of expertise studying hair.
