A hair is housed in a hair follicle, which is a small cavity in the skin where the hair grows from. The hair follicle also contains sebaceous glands that produce oil to keep the hair and skin moisturized. Each hair follicle is connected to a tiny muscle called the arrector pili muscle, which can cause the hair to stand on end when contracted.
