Hair Definition and 134 Threads

How exactly does laser hair removal work? I have heard it has to do with the hair pigment against skin color contrast. But what about that makes a laser target the hair root? Maybe someone needs to explain how lasers and wavelengths work to me. Does the laser "ignore" the skin and hair above the...

Hey there, Trying to confirm whether or not these substances emit formaldehyde gas when subject to heat of hair straightener and hairdryers. Both were ingredients in a keratin treatment i used at home and i had a crazy reaction (irritated skin, eyes, hair, nose and lungs) in the process of...

There is a video, where the author shows the interference of laser beam on a strand of human’s hair: I bought a laser pointer and reproduced this experiment. Indeed, when a single hair is placed on the way of the laser beam, I see the “scattering” picture (a series of points with intervals of...

Hi I have a very random question I would like to ask. Say if someone just got out the shower and either plugged something into the wall, or plugged a high voltage power cord into a device. In the process of doing so a small clump or strand of their wet hair manages to get into the socket or the...

Hi, One of my cousins had a baby almost six months ago. The baby's father has straight hair and mother has very curly hair. After almost six months, the baby's hair started looking somewhat wavy. By "wavy" I mean a little curly. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see which gene is dominant - curly...

Are hair removals like Nair safe and do they in anyway increase future regrowth of hair? If they are rather abrasive can it be diluted enough to practically wash itself away with sweat? Would hate to chemical burn myself, but back hair is otherwise hard to address. Shaving is near impossible...

Hair is getting + ve or - ve charged?

Hey guys! I've got an OTF comb (a.k.a. "out the front," where the plastic hair comb "blade" ejects straight out from the handle) that is held in the closed position with 1 lb, 12 ounces of magnetic force. I.e, upon measuring it takes 1 lb, 12 oz. of finger pressure against the comb switch to...

Googling the title will get you a million hits on how to glue a fake beard on. I have a real beard and want to glue stuff to it. My first attempts are not viable. Need suggestions. OK, here's the concept: "Mandusa" My moustache is about 1" long and my beard is only about 3/4". I started with...

Hi, does low level hand held laser therapy work for stimulating the hair follicles, scalp and improve your hair’s appearance with a couple of fifteen minute sessions per week? if yes how much do they cost?

Hi, so I found this on another old "AP" High School Finals Exam. I think I may be super lost. Because the only way that I can think about is KE = 3/2kT. And then that the difference of the Kinetic Energy of the air Particles is the Q supplied by the heater inside the air dryer. So ## \frac...

Hello! So I'm not sure if this is the right forum or thread to ask this question but I really need help figuring out a formula in a work context. Please help if you are able! My mother owns a hair salon where the stylists share the help of several assistants. There are 4 stylists and 4...

I saw this news article (here is the article about it in a medical journal) and began to wonder if the cure for gray hair is on the way. Those immunotherapy drugs can restore hair color on healthy people?, And what about the safety? It is dangerous to healthy people more than to cancer...

If a person with long thin hair touches a Van de Graaff generator, his hair will begin to levitate by electrostatic repulsion. The body is a conductor. Hair is an isolator, so the charge cannot flow through the shaft from root to end. To me it is unclear whether the hair is charged...

I always bath before I sleep and sometimes my short hair not so dry... is there a basis that one can go insane if one sleeps with wet hair? how?

Does body hair really grow back thicker each time you shave it? I hope this is just a myth. It's gotten me worried about shaving my facial hair too much.

Hiya! In school we have tha task to create our own phy lab. I am going to investigate the width of a hair using wave diffraction (a laser maybe?). Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to develop the lab to make it more uniqe and interesting. E.g measuring from different distances. Or...

I have a question that I feel I cannot find enough on. We just did a practical in Physics class where we used a laser light shined on a single hair strand in order to create a diffraction pattern and use formulae to determine the hair's width. Because of Babinet's principle, the hair managed to...

In my case anyway, this does:

**This is more a general understanding question rather than a homework question** 1. Homework Statement So when you comb your hair trillions of electrons get transferred from your hair to your comb. So when trillions of electrons go missing how is your body able to maintain a neutral charge...

Hair/wire laser diffraction interference pattern - does it follow single-slit or double-slit? for single-slit interference, the equation nλ = d (y/D), (d is the width of the single-slit, y is the distance between central BRIGHT fringe to the nth DARK fringe, D is the distance from slit to...

OK, so it's time to start a new thread. I heard many times that there exists only one black hole solution for a given mass and angular momentum, but I know already that this is not true. We all know that if we throw something into an existing black hole, its event horizon starts to ripple. So...

Hi all, I actually work in physics (quantum physics) but my thermodynamics knowledge is a bit lacking these days. The following problem has had me puzzled for quite a long time. Basically, if I point the hot air coming out of a hairdryer at a target, will that target's temperature ever go...

Homework Statement A thin hair is placed between two microscope slides. When laser light is shined down onto the slides, periodic intensity maxima are seen to span the slides. Which of the following changes will decrease the distance between the maxima? I. Decrease the wavelength of the laser...

Homework Statement A hair dryer is basically a duct in which a few layers of electric resistors are placed. A small fan pulls the air in and forces it to flow over the resistors where it is heated. Air enters a 900-W hair dryer at 100 kPa and 25° C, and leaves at 50° C. The cross-sectional area...

I have learned that a catalase increase may help feed peroxide and reduce gray hair but on the other hand human ageing states that its heme-Fe increases automatically overtime. These two "facts" really confuses me. Could you help me explain this ? Thank you.

Hi, I have a very oily skin especially in the face and hair. I think the oil causes acnes or something called foliculit. Foliculits and oil started at the end of the secondary schools which corresponds to puberty. I used a tablet it was good for me. It dried my skin against oil but it dried...

Homework Statement Hi, We're doing an experiment of measuring the thickness of a hair using a laser. So we took a hair, and a laser, and shot it through the hair, to receive the following pattern on the wall. The image of what we received (after red filter applied) on the wall is...
