Across
- 4. DNA present in the hair shaft that is inherited from the maternal line (coming from the mother)
- 5. The resting or final phase where hair naturally sheds
- 7. Instrument used to examine hair and fiber samples
- 9. The most commonly used natural plant fiber
- 10. Spiny-shaped scales protruding from the hair shaft (typical of animal fur like mink or cat, not human hair
- 14. Instrument used to simultaneously look at a sample under the microscope at the same time as getting chemical/color analysis
- 20. The transitional or regressive phase of hair growth
- 21. These are broken down and rearranged when hair is permed or chemically straightened (2 words)
- 23. A weave pattern where the fiber is woven over 2 or more and then under one -creating a diagonal rib and used in denim
- 24. The active growth phase of a hair follicle
Down
- 1. Man-made fibers created in a lab strictly from chemicals
- 2. Flat scale pattern of the cuticle that humans possess
- 3. The tough, fibrous protein material that primarily makes up hair and nails
- 6. Fiber that originated from a natural polymer but has been chemically altered in a lab
- 8. A substance composed of a large number of molecules in a repeating pattern
- 11. Fiber that comes from the hair of sheep
- 12. Fibers derived from plant, animal, or mineral sources
- 13. Stacked crown-like scale pattern often found in small rodents and bats
- 15. The inner portion of the hair shaft that contains pigment granules which give hair its color
- 16. outermost layer of a hair shaft, covered by overlapping scales (imbricate, coronal, or spinous patterns)
- 17. The central core column of the hair shaft, which may be continuous, interrupted, fragmented, or absent
- 18. Translucent tissue surrounding the hair's root when forcibly removed; a source of nuclear DNA (2 words)
- 19. Common mineral fiber used to insulate buildings
- 22. Weave pattern with non-uniform interlacing, creating a shiny surface that snags easily
