These hairs are of two types: 1) Lanugo (Vellus) hairs- very fine hairs present all over the body. 2) Terminal hairs- coarse, thick and pigmented hairs which are best developed on the face, scalp and extremities. The hairs are mostly found on all external body parts, except that of nail, palms, soles, lips, eyelids. Hairs are naturally present as eyebrows, eyelashes as also on scalp. But the development of hairs on forearms, legs, and other body parts is dependent on “adrenal androgen”. The adrenal androgens causes rise in plasma testosterone level that leads to growth of hair on forearm and legs called ambisexual hair as they are present in both sexes. At puberty, with further rise in plasma testosterone level hairs start appearing in axillary and pubic region. With further advanced puberty, males develop hair on face and trunk, termed...

...Forensic Hair Analysis Forensic hair analysis is a method of studying hair found at the scene of a crime, and the scientific study of hair is referred to Trichology. In this paper I will discuss the different techniques that are used to study hair during an investigation and the many different aspects of the hair to consider based on what type of investigation is taking place. Hair analysis can be used to determine the presence of a suspect at the scene or to detect the presence of certain chemical substances in the victim or suspect. With the help of DNA techniques used in forensic hair analysis an absolute match can be determined by examining hair found at the scene of a crime. According to Douglas Deedrick of the FBI’s Trace Evidence Unit, Humans shed an average of 100 hairs daily and are often used in violent crime investigations such as: homicides, assaults, burglaries, and armed robberies. (Deedrick, 2000) The most useful hairs in a crime scene investigation are longer hairs found on the scalp but can be subject to changes due to hair colorings or a simple haircut. In order to prevent this outside exposure samples should be taken from potential suspects as soon as possible after the crime to avoid any possible contamination. According to Deedrick, examining a hair under a microscope can help to determine many things about the source of the hair and even how the hair was lost either through shedding or by force, or from which location on the body the hair originated...

...With Hair Saginaw County Science Fair 2009 5th Grade Connor Blue Abstract The purpose of this project was to find out if there is a difference in the strength of different types of hair. I wanted to see if color or chemicals made a difference. My hypothesis was that blonde hair was stronger than brown hair and chemically treated hair. Individual strands of hair were collected from 30 female subjects. I tied one end to a hair hanging device and the other to a baggie. I added pennies into the bag until the strands broke, which is how I determined their strength. My testing showed that brown hair was the strongest and held an average of 27.9 pennies. Chemically treated hair held an average of 14.9 pennies and blonde hair an average of 9.9 pennies. From this research, I found that if you want strong hair, you should not get it chemically treated.

As a woman, I don’t disagree; there is nothing more powerful than a woman who feels beautiful. However, as an African American woman, I know the trend is natural hair. Natural hair is hairs which has not been permed or straighten –like the weaves described earlier. The owner didn’t describe any weaves of natural texture. Apparently, natural hair wearers didn’t have an option to lengthen or voluminous their hair. Nevertheless, when the owner began answering caller’s questions, my views about her product was confirmed. According to the owner, they don’t offer a weave product for natural hair –yet! Eureka, the owner spots an opportunity within the hair/weave industry and I hear her mentally formulate a plan taking the product to manufacturers, to distributors, to retailers, and finally to customers who need it –desire it. Product Mix/Product Lines So to begin, the owner of the wig shop has to fine-tune her product mix or product lines of natural hair that she can offer her customers. Because of her expertise in the hair industry, the owner decides to use similar product lines for the new product as the following: Category Style Material Hair Extensions Natural Wave (Kinky) Human Afro Wave Synthetic Style Extension Type Hair Grade Natural Wave (Kinky) Hair Weaving Remy...

...Have you ever looked at your hair and thought "what in the world did i do wrong?" You just don't know what's wrong so you buy all sorts of hair products and it gets worse? Well I have a couple tips from what you should do to your hair to what you shouldn't even think about doing. First of all your hair doesn't only depend on what you put in your hair but what you put in your body. For example eating salmon, beans, eggs, and milk helps your hair grow healthy and gives it a natural shine after 6 months if you keep on eating these foods. You should also drink a lot of water to stay hydrated. Studies have shown that massaging your scalp helps blood flow through your head which makes your hair grow longer. You also need to take care of the outside of your hair. Make sure to stay away from heat! Straighteners, curlers, blow dryers etc. These will cause split ends and your hair to dry out. Make sure that if you do use these products to deep condition your hair a lot but not too much. Certain hair products are supposed to be really good for your hair follicles and helps rebuild them. Another important product you should stay away from is hair dye and bleaching your hair. These will completely dry out your hair and cause it to break. Try to use natural hair products as much as you can. For example putting coconut olive oil is one. However the best one is the natural oil that comes from your scalp. It's all natural but everyone produces...

...Natural VS. Chemical Based Hair Britney Jones COM/170 June 30, 2014 ELSIE WALKER Natural VS. Chemical Based Hair Having natural hair is healthier than having chemical based hair. Natural hair and chemical based hair can both be straightened and curled. Natural hair straightening is a hair styling technique used since the 1890’s which involves the flattening and straitening of the hair in order to give it a smooth, streamlined, and sleek appearance. Chemical based hair gets straight by using a harsh hair product called a relaxer. Both hair types can be curled as well. Natural hair is already in a curl like form. But if you want to have more curls you can do different type of hairstyles. Some of the hairstyle are called Bantu knots, straw sets, and rag curls. As for chemical based hair you can do braid out styles and setter waves to get that perfect curl pattern in your hair. Natural hair needs a lot of moisture because it can get dry from being mistreated. Natural hair needs water and natural moisturizers to keep its moisture. To keep moisture in your natural hair you can spray water onto your hair at least twice a week to continue having beautiful moisturized natural hair. You can also use natural moisturizers like coconut milk, coconut oil, raw shea butter, olive oil, and homemade flaxseed gel. Also shampooing your hair gives it moisture too. Remember, shampooing too often strips the hair of its natural oils so be sure not to overdo it! Every other week is usually...

...Hair Removal Many people go for hair removal on different parts of their bodies. But there are different ways to remove hair such as waxing, treading, or laser hair removal. All the ways have both negative and positive outcomes. Waxing is one type of hair removal. It was developed by the Egyptians for smooth and hairless skin. They used sticky emulsions made of oils and honey. This is in modern day times called “sugaring” ("Get Waxing"). This procedure is done by putting wax onto the hairy area and taking a piece of cloth and putting it on top of the wax. The profession then presses down getting all the wax on the cloth and rips it off the skin pulling all the hair out with it. Waxing is positive in many ways. For example, it is done quickly and easily. The wax can be spread out all over and remove large areas of hair. Also, this can either be done at home or at the nearest salon. After waxing for a long period of time it can actually make the hair stop growing. Another positive thing is the hair doesn’t grow in until after two to three weeks depending on how fast the person’s hair grows (Torres). There are alson negative effects on waxing. It can cause redness and irritation of the skin, red bumps, and ingrown hairs. It can also cause skin infections (Bhatia). Also, it causes the skin to lose elasticity. This occurs when the skin is ripped when the wax is applied. The loss of elasticity of the skin can lead to a risk of wrinkles over time. ("hairremoval") ...

...stops: each day, you shed thousands of microscopic flakes of skin known as ‘squames’. Over a year, these add up to around 4kg in total! As an area of skin, the scalp is a bit different. It produces the most visible hairs – you’d find between 100,000 – 150,000 if you counted them. And if you were to measure shoulder-length hair as a single strand, it would stretch up to 30km! This warm, sheltered environment made up of loose skin flakes and hair makes an ideal home for micro-organisms. And here’s where the scalp differs again: it has a natural defence system against these organisms called sebum, a lightly greasy substance. However, one organism, has adapted to live off sebum. It’s as a consequence of this that it causes the shedding process to speed up – as quickly as four days in extreme cases. When this happens, the small flakes clump together and we see them as the flakes associated with dandruff. So while your scalp is pretty efficient at looking after itself, it sometimes needs a little help. And that’s as easy as using head & shoulders regularly. head & shoulders starts working right at the scalp. Our HydraZinc formula cares for your scalp, and helps restore it back to health , before working its way through to the ends of your hair.
