I've Just Looked At My Hair Underneath a Microscope

[kblc06]

And I must say it looked pretty darn healthy.

It was during my genetics lab and we were comparing hair & blood samples from different "suspects" in a crime as part of a lab. I asked my TA if I could make a slide and have a look at my hair. Her face --> "Sure, why not?" So I broke off *ouch* a piece of my hair.......I had detangled my hair last night so I didn't have any shed hair. I do not have a medulla and my hair strand appeared to be thinner in comparison to the hair sample that was part of the lab. I couldn't really see my cuticles except for the outer layer which was good actually, because they were really smooth and compact...my hair also feels well moisturized right about now so it's nice to know that what I'm doing is working. I feel so giddy right now . It's nice to know that your hair not only feels healthy, but IS healthy .

Oh and my hair is also a medium red-brown color

Only in the world of LHCF would my last post not bring bewilderment to others. LOL.

I did the same thing once, and it wasn't healthy

I always look at my hair under a microscope too. I take pictures whenever I can to see my progress from damaged hair.

I knew yall would understand . BTW, I don't just have microscopes in my apartment...I just have access to them at school and where I work. I wouldn't want people breaking the banking to purchase a $600-2000+ for lab quality light microscope.

This is actually a good idea . I wonder if I could get away with this at work

I have been daydreaming for months about how to get my hands on a microscope! You know you're obsessed with hair when.........LOL.

I've definitely been touched by the OHD (obsessive hair disorder).
