Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation
hairspray- A sticky, quick-drying liquid sprayed on the hair to keep it in place.

General Plan
The experiment is to test which brand of hairspray holds hair in place the longest. The experiment will take place at a subject’s house. The trials will consist of first shampooing and conditioning the subjects hair, creating a small pony tail and then curling it. At that time the hair will be sprayed with the first product of hairspray and a picture will be taken. Pictures will be taken every hour after hair is sprayed for a total of three hours. Each picture will be labeled with time and trial. The experiment will be repeated two more days using the same procedure to test all three types of spray.

Potential Problems And Solutions
-Not putting on enough hairspray for each trial -Not getting the same curl each time -Not using the same hair type

Safety Or Environmental Concerns
-Make sure you don't get hairspray in eyes, or breath it in for heath concerns.
