Hair

Hair/ Fiber Analysis History
The scientific study of hair is called trichology, and the field dates back into the middle of the nineteenth century. There are three techniques used to identify hair types. Chemical assays are used to identify the use of drugs in the body. The root of a hair has strands of DNA which can be used for DNA analysis. Also microscope comparisons can be made from two different hair samples.
