Abstract
A rapid, simple, reproducible and relatively inexpensive electrophoretic technique for displaying the structural proteins of hair is described. Hairs from a large number of individuals were examined and a number of distinct differences are presented.
The possibility of using these individual differences as a means of individual identification is discussed.
