HAIR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
please excuse bad picture quality
BLONDE HAIR
RED HAIR
Seen to the right is the end of a red hair. The end appears to be damaged and frayed. Visible in this microscopic view is the cortex and medulla. The medulla is fragmented, known because it is not present throughout the entirety of the hair, and this is very clearly human hair because the medulla takes up much less than one half of the cortex.
