flokë

Flokë is a term derived from the Albanian language, meaning "hair." It refers to the strands of protein that grow from follicles in the skin of mammals. In humans, hair covers most of the body, though its density varies significantly. The most visible and culturally significant hair is typically found on the scalp.

The color, texture, and growth rate of flokë are influenced by genetics, hormones, and environmental factors. Hair is composed primarily of a protein called keratin. The hair follicle, located in the dermis, is responsible for producing hair. The visible part of the hair shaft is made up of dead cells.

Flokë plays a role in insulation, protection from UV radiation, and sensory perception. Culturally, hair is often associated with identity, beauty, and social status across different societies and historical periods. Hairstyles, hair coloring, and hair care practices are diverse and can reflect personal expression, religious beliefs, or cultural traditions. The condition of one's flokë can also be an indicator of overall health.
