With scissors: definetely physical, you don't cut the molecules in hair themselves
Cutting hair is a physical change because the chemical composition of the hair remains the same before and after it is cut. The change is only in the physical appearance of the hair, not in its chemical structure.
I think it is a physical change Improvement: It's actually a series of chemical changes. As different chemicals are added they break and make bonds within the protein make-up of the hair.
Cutting your hair is a reversible physical change because it can grow back over time. The structure of the hair is not permanently altered by cutting it.
Bleaching your hair is a chemical process, not a physical property. The chemicals in hair bleach work to break down the natural pigments in your hair, resulting in a lighter color. This change is due to a chemical reaction rather than a physical characteristic of the hair itself.
No, the drying of wet hair is a physical change, not a chemical change. The change in state from wet to dry is due to the evaporation of water and does not involve any chemical reactions altering the composition of the hair.
cutting your hair is probably a physical change I don't know

Yes, cutting hair is an example of a physical change. It involves altering the appearance or state of the hair without changing its chemical composition. This change is reversible, as the hair can grow back.

Yes it is... The hair will grow back,but you're changing the physical appearance by cutting it. Chemically - it's still hair.
Mowing the lawn is a physical change. Cutting your hair isn't a chemical change, it's still hair, and it will grow back :) Chemical changes alter the identity of a substance, whereas physical changes do not.

It is both a physical and chemical change.
Cutting hair and shampooing hair are purely physical changes. However curling or straightening hair involve chemical changes too (i.e. sulfur crosslinks move). Dyeing hair is also chemical.

Cutting of hair is considered an irreversible change because once the hair is cut, it cannot return to its original state. The physical structure of the hair is altered by cutting, and the length that is removed cannot be reattached to the hair follicle. Additionally, the chemical composition of the hair remains the same after cutting, so the process cannot be reversed.
