How fast can bangs really grow?
![I wonder about hair 1379](images/glammstudiosciencefairquestion1379.jpg)
Hmmm? I wonder about my hair. Is it thick or thin today?
![I have questions about my hair 1041](images/glammstudiosciecefair1041.jpg)
So how much does hair add to my weight?

Curls, Curls, and more Curls. What causes them for some people and not
for others?

Here are a few science fair project ideas relating to the hair industry.
Please lets know how you did and share with us projects you might have
done or may have seen dealing with hair....
28) What effect does dyeing or
bleaching have on hair strenght?
27) Which grows faster: Scalp
hair of head hair?
26) How does Hydrogen-Peroxide
hair treatments change the color of human hair? Can sun change the color
of my hair?
25) Does hair float on water? Could one strand float alone and if so,
why would this be true? Since hair absorbs water, how fast can absorb
water?
24) Hair properties: Porosity, elasticity, and structure: What are they?
How can they be tested?
23) Hair Terms: cuticle, cortex, keratin, follicle, eumelanin, phaeomelanin,
medulla, microfibril, amino acids, protein, lipid molecules, and cysteine.
What does each do?
22) How much does hair weigh on a person body of average height?
21) How much does hair weigh per cubic foot?
20) What purposes does Hair serve?
19) Use a microscope and determine if you can identify hair from people
and from animals.
18) Use a microscope and determine if you can tell the difference between
hair from different race or age of people.
17) Use a microscope and show the difference between healthy and damaged
hair.
16) Use a microscope and compare color of hair.
15) How strong is one strand of hair? How much can it hold up before it
breaks? Does color affect strength?
14) Why do people lose hair when going through some medical treatments?
13) What makes your head hurt when you undo a tightly pulled pony tail?
12) How many hair fall out on a healthy head per day?
11) Does the number of hair vary with hair color?
10) How many hairs are on an average person's head and/or body?
9) How fast does hair grown for each color, and/or age?
8) How fast does hair grow? (add info about the longest length of hair
known and estimate how long it must have taken)
7) How do perms work? How does hair coloring work?
6) What causes hair to be naturally curly?
5) What cause people's hair to turn white as they get older?
4) What is the population average for each natural hair color/ i.e. Percentage
of Black, Brown, Blonde, Red, Gray, White, and Bald for a sample group
of people.
3) Is human hair different diameters? Does color play a role? Which animal
has the finest and thickest hair as an interesting fact or even a project
in itself?
2) Make a hygrometer (a humidity gauge) with human hair. To make, take
three of four strands of hair and suspend a weight like a penny coin.
Mark the position of the penny. As humidity is absorbed or released by
the hair by the changing humidity, the elasticity of the hair strands
will change and the weight will move up and down. Explain why this works.
1) Does human hair keep away rabbits from a garden?

![STATIC elecxtric and hair 1301](images/glammstudiosciencefairhair1301.jpg)
What causes fly-aways (static electricity) in Hair?
![Why do I have grey hair 1390](images/GlammStudioGreyHair1390.jpg)
I feel like I earned every gray hair, but what really did turned my have
gray?
![Hair magnified 500 times](images/glammstudiohairmagnified500X.jpg)
So this is what hair looks like under a microscope at 500 times bigger
then it really is. Every wonder what yours would look like?
