Each hair develops from a group of epidermal cells at the base of a tubelike depression called a hair follicle, which extends from the surface into the dermis and contains the hair root. The epidermal cells at the base are nourished from dermal blood vesssels in a projection of connective tissue at the deep end of the follicle. As these epidermal cells divide and grow, older cells are pushed toward the surface. The cells that move upward and away from the utrient supply become keratinized and die. Their remains constitute the structure of a developing hair shaft that extends away from the skin.
Hair follicles forms a cluster of cells in the upper layer of the skin.
These cluster of cells are called the primitive hair germ, which needs nourishment to grow into a developed hair follicle.
To get nourishment it works all the way down into the lower layer of the skin.
As it does, the cell cluster pulls the upper layer down with it creating a follicle called the root Sheath, out of which the hair will grow.
The shape of this follicle then determines the shape of the hair shaft as it grows from the follicle.
The hair shaft grows out from follicle so the diameter of the hair fiber will be the same as the diameter of the inside of the follicle.
In straight hair the hair are less vertical to the surface of the scalp and are slightly tilted.
The follicle in straight or wavy hair are are round or oval.
In kinky or curly hair the follicle grow stronger from the scalp at a good angle.

Hair follicles
your hair grows from follicles within the skin. The part of the hair inside the follicle below the skin's surface is known as the hair root, while the portion you see protruding from the head is the hair shaft. At the base of the hair root is the hair bulb where nutrients are received and new cells are formed
They are formed in meiosis. :)
No. Hair is dead. Hair follicles are the only alive part of the hair. They're what grow and contribute their dead cells to hair growth.
blood cells are formed in bone marrow.
by dead cells.

Cuticle scales are formed from dead cells on the hair cuticle, which is the outer layer of the hair shaft. The scales give the hair shaft strength.
Teeth. Skin, hair and nails are all formed from a layer called the dermis.
