A single hair can reveal several important details, including the individual's DNA, which can help in identification. It can also indicate the person's age and, to some extent, their ethnicity based on characteristics like color and texture. Additionally, the presence of certain substances, such as drugs or toxins, can be detected in the hair, providing insight into recent exposure. Finally, the growth patterns and health of the hair can indicate nutritional status and overall well-being.
Hair thickness is determined by a combination of genetic factors. There isn't a single gene that dictates whether thick or thin hair is dominant. It's possible for an individual to inherit traits for both thick and thin hair, resulting in a unique combination.
Cowlicks are not determined by a single gene with a simple dominant-recessive pattern. They are usually caused by hair growth patterns and the direction of hair growth in a particular area of the scalp, which can vary among individuals regardless of their genetic inheritance.
A root hair is haploid. Root hairs are specialized structures that arise from the single-celled epidermal layer of a plant root. Each root hair cell contains a single set of chromosomes, making it haploid.

No, your hair shape is determined by the shape of the hair strand. The only way to change it is by getting a perm of some sort or sometimes as a person gets older their hair will change - or pregnancy. That can do it too. But no, not eating crusts :)
No, hair color is determined by the amount of melanin produced.

The trait that is determined completly by your DNA is your hair color.
Thick hair is determined by the density of the hair. The more dense the hair strand, the thicker the hair will be.
DNA profile - Hair can provide a source of DNA for identification purposes. Drug or toxin exposure - Hair analysis can reveal traces of drugs or toxins present in the body. Health information - Certain health conditions or deficiencies can be detected through analysis of hair composition. Environmental exposure - Hair can retain information about exposure to pollutants or chemicals in the environment. Nutritional status - Hair analysis can provide insight into an individual's nutritional intake and deficiencies.
Characteristics are things about something For example Mammals Characteristics : - Fur or Hair - Born alive - Hot blooded - Omnivore

Inherited traits are things such as hair color, eye color, height, etc. These are determined by the recessive and dominant genes passed on by the biological parents.
Hair is simply old proteins (mainly) and the color of hair is determined by our genetic makeup and composition of those proteins, although that is not firmly determined. It is believed to be controlled by melanin, particularly eumalanin and phenomelanin.
There is no way to make hair grow faster or even. Hair growth is determined by the hair follicle.
Eye color and hair color are primarily determined by genetics. Specific genes inherited from parents play a major role in determining the color of a person's eyes and hair. Various combinations of genes can result in a wide range of eye and hair colors.
