Description

An extremely specialised field of forensic science is the study of human hairs. Research on human hair has been the focus of an incredibly broad spectrum of scientific studies. The cosmetics industry, forensic investigators, and biomedical researchers are interested in its chemical and physical qualities. On many different parts of the body, hair is present. Each location, including the head, pubic area, chest, axillae, and limbs, possesses hairs with distinctive microscopical traits. Although it is feasible to identify a hair as coming from a specific body part, the head and pubic areas are the most frequently used body parts in forensic comparisons. Each species of animal possesses hair with characteristics length, color, shape, root, appearance, and internal microscopic features that distinguish one animal from another. Coarse guard or outside hairs, finer fur hairs, tactile hairs like whiskers, and other hairs that grow from an animal's tail and mane are among the different types of hair found on animals. Students studying forensic science, solicitors and forensic scientists themselves will find the book useful.
