Article: Don't stop playing with your hair.(Hands-On Activity)

In "The Past, Present, and Future of Looking Good," (p. 12), you got the lowdown on hair. Here are two activities to see what your tresses can do.

Part A: How strong is your hair?

You Need:

3 strands each of the following hair types: naturally curly; naturally straight; permed; color-treated * tape * scale * box of large paper clips * table

To Do:

1. Loop one strand of hair through a slightly opened paper clip. Use a piece of tape to secure the hair to the clip.

2. Tape the other end of the hair to the table. You should have a strand of hair hanging from the table with a paperclip dangling from the hair's end.
