A hair follicle is a part of the skin that grows hair by grouping old cells together.

In 2151, Ah'len told Commander Charles Tucker III that the hair follicles on his face were growing. Tucker replied that he hadn't had the opportunity to shave since he had boarded the Xyrillian vessel to help repair it. (ENT: "Unexpected")

In 2153, Degra, designer of the Xindi superweapon, was captured by the crew of Enterprise. He refused to reveal where the weapon to destroy Earth was being built, so Captain Jonathan Archer concocted a story where he and Degra had spent three years in prison together and escaped. To give the impression that many years had passed, Archer had Dr. Phlox temporarily erase his memory and to stimulate his hair follicles, so his hair would be longer. (ENT: "Stratagem")

In 2155, Susan Khouri gave T'Pol a vial containingElizabeth's hair follicle and warned her that the xenophobic terrorist group, Terra Prime, was going to kill her. (ENT: "Demons")

In 2365, after beaming down to the Darwin Genetic Research Station, Dr. Katherine Pulaski advanced in age and became elderly. A hair follicle of Pulaski's was used to take a sample of her genetic code so she would be reverted back to her original age, via the transporter. (TNG: "Unnatural Selection")

In 2369, a Bajoran named Ibudan was found murdered in one of Deep Space 9's holosuites. Dr. Julian Bashir scanned the holosuite for hair follicles, hoping to find the culprit of Ibudan's murder. (DS9: "A Man Alone")

In 2369, Dr. Julian Bashir asked Lieutenant Commander Data how he could control the growth of his artificial hair follicles while they were working together in engineering on the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I")

In 2371, while massaging Kes' feet as part of the rolissisin ritual, The Doctor noticed a similarity between the Ocampan process of reproduction with a species called the Gree. The difference between the two species was that they stimulated follicles, rather than feet. (VOY: "Elogium")

Alfarian hair pasta was made from the hair follicles of a mature Alfarian. The follicles were harvested by Talaxians during the Alfarian's shedding season in early fall. In 2372, Neelix served Alfarian hair pasta to the crew of the USS Voyager. (VOY: "Parturition")

In 2374, The Doctor grew Seven of Nine's hair after her deassimilation by stimulating her hair follicles. (VOY: "The Gift")

In 2379, Dr. Beverly Crusher speculated that Shinzon was cloned from Jean-Luc Picard by using a hair follicle or a skin cell. (Star Trek Nemesis)
