Tahira Reid, at left, and Amy Marconnet, both assistant professors of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, work with graduate student Jaesik Hahn in using an infrared microscope to study how heat affects hair. Hair is studied while heat is applied with a flat iron. The goal is to learn precisely how much heat to apply in hair styling and how frequently to use heat treatment for a given hair type without destroying it.
