Hair Observation Report

Are you transitioning from relaxed to natural hair? Do your locs need help? If so, you'll need stylist with specialized knowledge and skills. Traditional hair salons often lack the skills to work with natural hair. Fortunately, salons catering to natural hair are springing up everywhere and Loc'n Twist is Florida's newest. Loc'n Twist's founder, Davis Vaught, compared pricing for natural hair services in the region. He then realized that his community did not have easy access to the grooming services and that service fees were high. By opening Loc'n Twist, Vaught brings grooming that projects pride, dedication and a self-knowledge that opens doors to opportunities to the community. The shop serves men and women with complete barber and hair care services.

During the experiment, a possible source of error occurred when tweezers, used for handling the hair samples, were switched and possibly contaminated the hairs. The hairs collected could had been switched from its rightful evidence bag, altering the results.

Hair is a basic element of most of our lives, so to many, hair is a trivial thing. However, the fact that we live in a social climate that routinely rejects aspects of communities of color, hair has come to be an increasingly symbolic piece of our racial identities. This is especially true for the black community in the United States. After generations of countering Eurocentric ideologies surrounding acceptability, members of the black community are beginning to embrace the acceptance of their own images despite cultural messages that continue to promote the opposite. In an article written by Khalea Underwood of Refinery29, she chronicles her experiences with having her hair touched by a white

3 samples of hair are picked from 3 suspects that maybe the murderer of Mr.Mowder. Another sample of hair was extracted from the crime scene left by the killer. Under the microscope, 4 samples of hair were observed. Sample A or Schwab’s hair sample was light brown, wide, had a presence of medulla, and dark shadings on both sides of the hair. Sample B or Clark’s hair was darker, thinner than Suspect A’s, and still had presence of medulla.The shading was uneven on the sides. Sample C or Klotz’s hair was light blonde or grey, wide, had no presence of medulla, and no shading. Finally the hair sample found on the body of Mr.Mowder was light brown, wide, had presence of medulla, and dark shading on the sides. Sample C was widely different from the other hair samples due to its color. Samples B, C and the victim hair are more similar due to it’s

As a senior in highschool, one of my future goals is to become either a doctor or an administrator in health sciences. As long as I can remember, I had a fascination with animal documentaries when Animal Planet was very popular. However, then in high school, I was introduced to the Human Body, and it fascinated more than ever. I want to become a doctor because I have the drive to save other people’s lives.

When your child is diagnosed with alopecia, you probably have scoured the web for relevant information about the disease.

How old is your child? O when that day will be the most open to talk to? Style of speaking for him or her what to rage around? Which ones to help him or her to stay calm and collected?

Mrs. Smith taught a 7th grade science class at Towson Middle School. There were two girls in her class, Kayla and Rachel, that sat next to each other in every class. They were even lab partners in Mrs. Smith’s class. These girls were best friends, having grown up with each other and done everything together, they seemed to have an inseparable bond. The school has just been on spring break for a week. Just like any other break, the two girls hung out with each other every day until the last day. Kayla found out that Rachel had told people about her family secrets. Kayla was furious and everyone could tell they were in a fight when they got back to school on Monday.

“Chantelle! Come over and see this,” my mom whispered as she glided past me towards her client’s chair. I unfolded my nine-year-old self from under the empty hair dryer and gingerly walked over. While peering skeptically at the child’s scalp before me, I began to note tiny bugs crawling by the roots and my eyes followed my mother’s comb tip as she pointed out several nits. This was definitely one of the worst cases of lice she had shown me, and I had seen quite a few by then! As the daughter of a hairstylist, my exposure to skin and hair started at an early age. Growing up in a salon allowed me to observe first hand how significant an impact looking healthy on the outside had on a client’s everyday confidence and self-esteem; a lesson that was later reinforced during my acne ridden teenage years at an all-girls high school. At the salon, I always enjoyed being called over by the estheticians and hairdressers to view interesting cases that ranged from alopecia and cystic acne, to severe foot fungus and poliosis. Since my mother and her employees always recommended physician follow-ups when they spotted something suspicious, I was always left wondering what happened on the medical end of the spectrum. In high school and college, I began to fulfill this curiosity by reading about the science behind skin, hair and nail disorders.

What is Alopecia Areata and can I get it? Alopecia Areata, by definition, is a sudden loss of hair that generally begins with one or more circular bald spots that can potentially overlap. Alopecia Areata is very common; it affects 4.6 million people in the United States (Mackay-Wiggan 31). It is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in the world, making it more common than diabetes! Everyone and anyone can be affected by Alopecia: men, women, and all races. There is no known information on how frequently Alopecia Areata essentially appears. From my experience of seeing my brother deal with Alopecia Areata, I’ve learned to be proud of who I am and most importantly, be confident about myself and while others may not experience the

You sat on the couch watching the latest reality TV show. Harry had gone out earlier this morning, so you had the apartment to yourself. "These people are so petty." You giggle out watching the girl fight with her mother. The sound of a car door shutting brought a smile to your face. Harry was home. You weren't clingy, but you did happen to miss being close to Harry once he was gone. "I'm home!" He shouts out. With an anxious giggle slipping past your lips you bounce over to the front door. Halt. What in the world had he done? He stood there looking like a puppy that knew he did something wrong. "You cut your hair?" He wanted to grow it out longer for charity, but with everything coming up you knew it was now or never. "Yeah, do you...do

Although I insisted on perming my hair, my mother decided it was best for me I just kept it natural. I just thought she wanted me to suffer and feel bad about myself. Therefore, I resulted in the constant straightening of my thick and unflavored “black hair”. This repetition resulted in the burning, damaging, and thinning out of my hair by the time I reached fifteen years old. Throughout the attempted transition, my sister noticed the changes in the strength of my hair, and the level of my confidence, and decided to make suggestions about how I could replenish and repair both.

The aim of this investigation is to measure the diameter of human hair by using a laser beam. This can be measured by using methods of diffraction and interference which is similar to Young’s double slit experiment but with a single slit which is the human hair and the 0.12mm steel wire. Diffraction is the bending which takes place when a wave of light passes through an object or a slit, such as human hair. Light can behave like a wave, and when it encounters the piece of hair it is divided into pattern of lines. A scattered pattern will be created on the wall and the size of the pattern, through this method of diffraction is related to the size of the hair which caused the scattered pattern. Hence, measuring the size of the light scatter can help determine the diameter of the hair.
