Study Notes
Hair Growth Cycle
- There are three phases of hair growth.
- The first phase is the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase.
- The second phase is the catagen phase, which is the transitional phase.
- The third phase is the telogen phase, which is the resting phase.
Hair Examination
- Hair examination can reveal the type of hair that is present at a crime scene.
- It can be used to determine if hair is natural or artificial, human or animal.
- The number of sample hairs collected from the scene is noted.
Hair Dyeing
- The color of hair can be masked with artificial dyes.
- Dark hair can be lightened with hydrogen peroxide.
Hair Contamination
- Hair can be contaminated with foreign materials like mucus, blood, fecal matter, and semen.
- This contamination can help to identify the location of hair at a crime scene.
Differentiating Between Natural and Artificial Hair
- Natural hair can be distinguished from artificial hair by examining its structure.
- Natural hair has a cuticle, cortex, and medulla, while artificial hair does not.
Human vs. Animal Hair
- Human and animal hair can be differentiated by examining their morphological features.
- These features include the scale pattern, medulla shape, and the presence or absence of a cuticle.
