Chemometric discrimination of bleached and dyed human scalp hair using attenuated total reflectance infrared spectrocopy

The range of products, different formulation, and variables used in cosmetic treatments hold out great potential for forensic identification of hair evidence although in reality little of that potential is realized due to preferences on DNA testing and lack of analytical chemistry expertise among fo...
