Life Cycle of Hair
• Hair proceeds through 3 stage as it develops.–Anagen Stage – Period of growth, lasts
~1000 days.–Catagen Stage – Period where hair
finishes growing, may turn gray–Telogen Stage – Hair easily falls out

Life Cycle of Hair
• Long hair can have dead and split ends or it can break
• This happens because hair in the catagen and telogen stages becomes damaged by treatment, straightening, blow drying, etc.
• Brushing your hair removes hair in the telogen stage

Treated Hair
• Bleaching – Makes hair yellow by
removing pigment– Makes hair brittle by
disturbing cuticle• Dyeing– Changes color of the hair
shaft (cuticle and cortex)

Treated Hair
• If a full hair is found, you can find out how long ago the hair was treated.
• Roots will have natural color

Treated Hair
• Hair grows at ~.44 mm/day or 1.3 cm/month• Dividing the length of the natural color of the
hair by 1.3 can give a date of how long ago the hair was dyed.
![Page 11: Today’s Topic: The Life Cycle of Hair October 1, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e865503460f94b89c43/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Treated Hair
For example: A hair strand was found at the scene of the crime. The length of the hair was 50 cm. The naturally colored root of the hair is 5.2 cm long. Approximately how long ago was this dye job done?
![Page 12: Today’s Topic: The Life Cycle of Hair October 1, 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e865503460f94b89c43/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Treated Hair
5.2 cm = total root length1.3 cm/month = rate of hair growth
5.2/1.3 = 4 months old

Treated Hair
Answer: A little more than two months. (2.31) Root length = 3Growth Rate = 1.3/ month3/1.3 = 2.3

Treated Hair

Root Length = 12 cmGrowth Rate = 1.3 cm/month12/1.3 = 9.2 months

Different types of Hair
• Hair can be split into classes based on race and species
• These are only generalities and may not apply to certain individuals of races. It is also possible that individuals can have mixed characteristics.
• Note: Race is different from ethnicity
