Hair Can Solve Crimes – Forensic Fact You Didn’t Know!

 

 🧬 Hair as Evidence – A Clue in Every Strand


You may lose up to 100 hairs a day… but in the world of forensics, even one hair can make or break a case.


🔍 How Hair Helps Investigators:

  • Microscopic examination reveals the medulla, cortex, and cuticle.

  • If the hair root is present, DNA testing can identify the person.

  • Toxicology can detect drugs, poisons, and chemicals.

  • Hair reveals ethnicity, nutrition, and even the environment someone was exposed to.


🧪 Real Crime-Solving:


Hair left on a pillow, in a car, or on clothing can link a suspect to a scene, even years later.


💡 Fun Fact:


Hair is resistant to decay — which means it can be studied long after death, helping solve cold cases.


📌 Forensics sees what others can’t.
