Peyos

Meaning ❉ Peyos, within the Roothea lexicon for textured hair, refers to the distinctive, often softer hair growth situated along the temples and framing the facial contours, particularly notable in Black and mixed-race hair patterns. This specific hair zone frequently exhibits a unique curl density or finer texture compared to the main body of hair, requiring a nuanced understanding of its growth dynamics. Practical application of knowledge here involves systematizing gentle care routines; consider these strands as tender extensions that benefit from precise hydration and protective styling principles, akin to an automated segment of a holistic hair care system. Prioritizing the health of these areas ensures a polished hair presentation and supports overall strand integrity, a testament to thoughtful hair maintenance.
