Hair is one of the most common forms of trace evidence found at crime scenes. Although a single hair may appear insignificant, it can provide valuable information to forensic investigators. Hair analysis helps investigators determine whether a hair belongs to a human or an animal, identify the body area from which it originated, and sometimes establish a link between a suspect, victim, and crime scene. The scientific study of hair is known as trichology<\/strong>, and it plays an important role in forensic investigations.<\/p>
