Abstract
The paper shows how hair science is a direct result of commercial interest in the industry, and its important role in economics and the social world, which has fostered its profound development over the last century. The hair care industry is a multi-million dollar business with serious economic, technological, social, and fashion attributes. Hair styles have changed dramatically, serving as part of the socio-cultural process of identity construction, gender relations, and political expression. Likewise, they have been as influenced by the social constructions they nurture. The paper examines the last half of the century which has witnessed the most development in hair science, with technical advancement evident in the at-home focus of many products, the introduction of chemical understandings to hair care, and the infrastructural focus on speed and results that has characterized the digital revolution.

From the Paper
"At the dawn of the century, the start of the 1900s ushered out the very end of the Victorian era. Known most for its political and revolutionary socio-cultural transformations, the Victorian era was also one of excess, superficial concentration, and popular culture. Hair was an integral part of the culture. "While women's hair, particularly when it is golden, has always been a Western preoccupation, for the Victorians it became an obsession." This infatuation with hair was neither a passing fad nor just an aesthetic attention, but it was a mechanism of societal imagery, assertion of gender norms, and the greater product of cultural symbols."

Abstract
This paper is an anthropological field project on the ritual of hair salons. The author points out multiple meanings of hair salons in minority communities. The paper relates the role of hair salons in women's concern with self-image and social interaction.

From the Paper
"For many women, especially those from minority backgrounds such as African Americans and Hispanics, hair salons constitute more than a place for getting a haircut. Rather they are considered to be an integral part of the economic and social makeup of minority communities."

A review of the article "Correlation of Microscopic and Mitochondrial DNA Hair Comparisons" by Houck and Budowle.

From the Paper
""Correlation of microscopic and mitochondrial DNA hair comparisons" by Houck and Budowle. For this article, the thesis of the article was that while microscopic comparisons of morphological characteristics of the human hair is accepted in the scientific and legal communities, the new method of mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA sequencing, provides an additional test that would complement the existing test and use of both would add to findings. This main point was easy to find in the abstract and the opening introduction statements. The presentation of the..."

"Ultimately, through the development of the proposed study, the researcher will relate the determination/s from: Examining the business strategy of White Cliffs Hair Studio (WCHS) and its viability in succeeding within the medical industry for "Non surgical hair reconstruction devices". By examining components contributing to the success of WCHS, the researcher will, in turn, determine the validity of the hypothesis for the proposed study: If White Cliffs Hair Studio succeeds in fulfilling its goal to diversify and expand into the medical industry for "Non surgical hair reconstruction devices", then, along with enhanced opportunities to help patients who experience alopecia, WCHS will simultaneously obtain the ability to increase its potential to earn more profits."

Abstract
This paper analyzes forensic hair analysis, and traditional evidentiary methodologies, concluding that although forensic hair analysis is often instrumental to crime solving, it is essentially inadequate unless extensive nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analysis is also conducted and considered. It also discusses technological advances in this area, and the future of DNA testing in the United States.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The science of hair comparison has been used in thousands of criminal cases all over the United States for decades. Hair, because of its widespread presence at crime scenes, has great evidentiary value in forensic science. Even if a suspect has tried to clean the crime scene of any evidence such as personal possessions, fingerprints or footprints, hair strands always seem to stick in the matter found in that area. Since hair is so personal to individuals, it serves as a great indicator of who was there. The forensic testing of hair strands has very early roots. It was first used as evidence in 1861, but did not gain scientific acceptance until after the turn of century, and public acceptance until the late 1950's. During this time the public acceptance of hair testing was widespread, and police received enormous support for any evidence consisting of hair strands."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the steps involved in examination of animal hair specimen obtained as part of forensic evidence. Forensic science is being extensively used in crime investigations today and hair can thus provide important clues. But the results obtained after examination may not always be accurate because of the limitations of forensic analysis. The paper discusses these limitations along with the kind of results one can obtain from hair analysis.

"Aussie is an Australian brand of P&G. The collection (see Appendix No.1) includes a complete gamma of hair care products - the traditional shampoos and conditioners, and products for more pretentious consumers - gels, mousses, and hair sprays . The brands is oriented to the tastes of a wide range of consumers, and it has local sites for the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom and several other European countries . The packing is unpretentious but this additionally contributes to the brand's suggestion of sun and simplicity."

Abstract
The paper refers to the article "Flaunting the Freak Flag: "Karr v. Schmidt" and the Great Hair Debate in American High Schools, 1965-1975" and approaches the Karr vs. Schmidt case from three different perspectives: the students' perspective, the teachers' and administrative staff perspective, and the judicial perspective. The paper attempts to show how the hair debate was but a small element of a larger framework of conflicts between generations. The paper reveals that at a national level this translated into a political fight against the war in Vietnam, at a cultural level it was a revolt against the older generation and at a micro level, it was a fight against school authority.

From the Paper
"The cultural revolution of the 1960s and early 1970s brought about, not only in the US, but throughout the entire world, a revolt of the younger generation against what they perceived as restrictions to their expression for their parents, teachers or other figures of authority. In order to be a successful revolt, this generation needed anchors it could believe in and attach itself to it, controversial issues on which their position would certainly be different than that of the authority figures.
"In the early 1960s, the cultural arena was a potential anchor that the generation could use. This was controversial not necessarily because of the music itself, but because of its implications into other related areas, such as fashion and dancing. The music that The Beatles made was innocent enough in its early messages, but their impact was felt in the way they dressed and grew their hair, which made the younger generation adopt them as rebel anchors."

From the Paper
"At this point, compensation for issues becomes more complex. The person soliciting the feedback must be empowered to offer a range of possible compensations. They should probe the customer to find out what will make them happy. Another stylist may be the answer, but so may some form of financial compensation. If the customer agrees that they do intend to visit the salon again, a discount on their next visit will have value. If, however, they do not agree, or seem to be wavering, then another form of compensation, be it movie tickets or a restaurant voucher, would be more appropriate. Of course, the compensation offer should include an understanding of the nature of the problem and a statement explaining the course of action that will be taken to ensure the problem is never repeated."

Abstract
This paper discusses the roles of hair and fibers as physical evidence in forensic science. It concentrates on the physical composition, identification methods, recovery techniques and implications as evidence. This forensic science research paper also provides an analytical discussion of the implications that the various methods have in the field of criminology.

From the Paper
"Hair and fibers are superficially similar. They may frequently be found together as trace evidence, and the methods of studying them are often similar. In fact, hair and fibers are quite different: Hair as an appendage of human or animal skin, growing out of an organ known as the hair follicle; fibers are strands of natural or manufactured material. Some animal-hair coverings such as wool and mohair are classified as natural fibers, but such issues of terminology are just that and do not affect the process of identification. Although hair is discovered as evidence at many crime scenes and often appears on the bodies of victims of violence, it represents class or general evidence, rather than individual evidence. One person's hair cannot yet be individualized to the exclusion of anyone else, although DNA research, which involves testing the root of the hair, may make near individualization possible. Hair is valuable evidence and much can be learned from a few strands. It also resists chemical decomposition and retains its structural features for a long time. In contrast to hair, fibers and cloth fragments offer much greater evidential value because they incorporate numerous variables. These include the number of fibers in each strand, the diameter of strands and fibers, the direction and number of twists, the type of weave, the dye content, as well as the presence of any foreign material that may be adherent to fibers or embedded among them."
