Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

hi

i've got one more question...pls...

we are studying the effecacy of using gensing root oil on dry hair...the problem is, if we are going to use any person, we cannot control the person's activities...like, going outside their house...and the like.

we are wondring if we can get the same result if we are going to use hair strands only....

do you think it would be possible?


thanks, buddies!

Julie:

You will have no problem using hair strands for your study. You will be able to control the environment for all treatments and make the same measurements you would for a human subject. By collecting hair strands from the same subject you will eliminate the variation between individuals.

Let us know how the study works out.
