Human scalp has the highest hair follicle density throughout the body (200 hairs per cm2). It also has a dense and specific microflora. In addition, it produces a large amount of sebum (causal level of 150 μg/cm2). Sebaceous glands of the scalp are important to maintain hair, and their absence can be associated with scarring alopecia.
