Structure of Hair

Hair is all most entirely dead epidermis and proteins

The central core is the medulla, which is surrounded by a bulky cortex, which is further covered by a cuticle

The cuticle is formed by a single layer of cells that overlap one another like shingles on a roof

Structure of Hair

The cuticle is the most heavily keratinized (proteins) part of the hair to provide strength

As the hair lengthens the cuticle begins to wear away allowing the inner hair region to “frizz” out – this is known as a split end

Other Structures of Hair

Arrector pili are small bands of smooth muscles on each side of the hair root

When these muscles contract (as in cold or frightened) the hair is pulled upright

This phenomenon can especially be seen in a frightened cat

Hair Variety

Hair comes in a variety of sizes and shapes Short and stiff in the

eyebrows Long and flexible on the

head Nearly transparent in

some areasHair pigment is made

by melanocytes in the hair bulb

Hair Variety

When the hair is perfectly round, the hair tends to straight and coarse

When the hair shaft is oval hair is smooth and silky and the person has wavy hair

When the hair shaft is flat and ribbon-like, the hair is curly or kinky

The physical appearance of hair can be affected by nutritional status and intentional alteration (heat curling, perms, straightening, etc.).

Hair Identification Basics

Characteristics of the cuticle is important in distinguishing between hairs of different species but is often not useful in distinguishing between different people.

Distribution of the cortex is perhaps the most important component in determining from which individual a human hair may have come.

Hair Identification Basics

In order to test hair evidence for DNA, the root must be present.

Hairs that are forcibly removed are most likely to contain DNA

Hair Identification

The first step is to determine whether the hair in question originated from an animal or a human being.

If the hair originated from an animal, it is possible to further identify it to a particular type of animal.

If it originated from a human, the next step is to determine what region of the body it came from

Hair Identification

The hair in question is then analyzed to determine if it was naturally shed or forcibly removed

Naturally shed hairs, such as a head hair dislodged through combing, display undamaged, club-shaped roots.

Hair forcibly removed from the scalp will exhibit stretching and damage to the root area.

Forcibly removed hairs may have tissue attached.

Other Identifying Elements

Hair can also be analyzed for race determination

CaucasianCan be of fine to medium coarseness, are generally straight or wavy in appearance, and exhibit colors ranging from blonde to brown to black. The hair shafts of Caucasian hairs vary from round to oval.

Asian Are regularly coarse, straight, and circular in cross section, with a wider diameter than the hairs of the other racial groups. The outer layer of the hair, the cuticle, is usually significantly thicker than the cuticle of African and Caucasian hairs. Asian hair can have a characteristic reddish appearance as a product of its pigment.

Other Identifying Elements

African Are regularly curly or kinky, have a flattened cross section, and can appear curly, wavy, or coiled. The density of the pigment in the hair shaft may be so great as to make the hair opaque. A African hair shaft exhibits variation or apparent variation in diameter because of its flattened nature and the manner in which it lies on the microscope slide.
