Hair and Fiber:
Today hair and fiber has become a very important clue to police when trying to catch the culprit of a crime. In a very thin strand of hair police are able to identify the drugs or poison the person has had and the race of the person (Asian, African American, White). . Although, if the hair has been dyed or a certain chemical is put in the hair, the hair might change its style and the way it looks under a microscope, giving the police a false clue. However with fiber, scientists are able to determine where crime scenes occured and vertify that they are searching for the correct criminal. Also, once the fiber is formed, its type cannot be changed therefore the mix ups with fibers are very rare. Furthermore, forensic scientists have been able to identify the three main types of hair: Coronal, Spinous, and Imbricate and two main types of fiber: Natural and Man- Made.
