An object of study for scientists, industrialists and sociologists,
raw material manipulated by hair stylists all over the world
and even used by artists - that´s the hair! Surprising but
familiar, social and intimate, it is increasingly becoming
an object of scientific study. Behind its apparent banality
lies a universe of research and a lot of work.
How does hair grow? How does it get its colour and shape?
How many hairs does a person have, why does it fall? How resistant
is it?
Until May 11th 2003, you can discover the secrets of hair
at the Pavilion of Knowledge - Ciência Viva.
Conceived and produced by:
L´Oréal e Cité des Sciences et de l´Industrie, France
