Hair contains information about everything that has ever been in your bloodstream, including drugs, and is one of the most commonly used types of forensic evidence, according to stylecaster.com.

Kamryn Tucker ’18 has spent her whole life fighting off people always reaching for her head to touch her hair.

“People constantly want to touch my hair and ask if it real, I always  answer the same way, ‘yes and please stop touching it,’” Tucker said.

A person’s hair can cause them a lot of trouble, especially when trying to get ready in the morning.

“Every morning I have to get it wet and then put conditioner in it and that takes about 20 minutes, and I usually try to do that 45 minutes before I leave the house because it’s cold outside and I don’t want to catch pneumonia,” Tucker said.   

Sydni Hall ‘19 faces a similar struggle.

“Right now my hair is super long and in braids,”Hall said. “People always think my hair is real and want to feel it.”      

Sayanna Roy ’17 has extremely long, curly hair, but she considers it pretty low maintenance.

“The worst thing about my hair is probably that it gets pretty kinky in the back and the front and sometimes it just won’t cooperate,” Roy said.

A person’s hair can break the bank quite heavily.  Roy’s aunt buys her special products for her to use on her hair and spends roughly $100 on products each year, while  Tucker says she spends about $300 on hair supplies each year and gets it cut once a month.

On average, women spend about three hours a week washing, blow drying and styling their hair, which makes over six entire days a year, according to beautyandtips.com.  A woman’s hair can define who they are and how they go about their day.
