Question 1

what is the definition or description of: light hair?

Accepted Answer

Light hair: Hairs are strands that grow from the epidermis and are composed of Keratin. Light colored hair has low levels of pigment (eumelanin).

Question 2

is it normal to have light hair on your face as a female?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I do a lot of laser hair removal. Light facial hair is common. Most of the women are very happy to have me remove it. Assuming the hair is darker than the skin, the laser is very  effective at reducing the hair. If the hair is very light blond, it will take a special laser made for blond hair and more treatments.

Question 3

is it true that people with light hair usually have drier skin?

Accepted Answer

Not really: I think the dryness is related to being able to make vitamin d.  Light skin typically spends less time in the sun due to burning which means less vitamin d.  Vitamin d has been linked to dry skin especially in our pediatric population.  So help the skin with vitamin d, drinking water and using omega 3 which can help produce healthy oils in your skin.
