It was seen that the Northwest region showed the lowest value of

hair root diameter for male population and the south region showed

the lowest value of hair root diameter for the female population. It

was observed that the average hair root diameter was higher in male

population compared to that of the female population.

CONCLUSION

The major findings of the present study are:

1) People in the north region have the largest root diameter and

people in the west region have the smallest root diameter.

2) A large number of samples required decolourisation in the south

region, the hair of people in the south region contain more pigment
compared to all other regions.

It was also observed that there was a similar range between the hair

root diameter of females of all the regions and males of all regions

respectively. But since this is a study conducted with a small sam-

ple size, this particular observation cannot be declared. This study

is only a preliminary study and therefore can be expanded further
with a larger sample size.
