Gold award: what effects do treatments have on hair?
In this project students investigate hair to gain both qualitative and quantitative data, look at the appearance of hair and measuring its strength before and after different treatments. Students will need to link up with mentors from industry or local further/higher education colleges for a couple of reasons to investigate industrial methods for testing strength, and possibly to be able to use powerful microscopes. They might also want to visit a hairdresser and find out what sort of treatments they recommend for particular hair types and why.
