About My Inquiry
For my inquiry, I am interested in researching and testing what makes hair grow and if it is possible to make your hair grow quicker and look healthier. I chose this topic because after bleaching and dying my hair so many times, it is not as healthy or long as it used to be. I know that many other people struggle to grow out their hair after bleaching or dying their hair, so I’m interested in if there is anything that people can do to make their hair grow faster and longer. I am interested in finding out if there is any way that you can have your hair bleached or dyed the way you want it, while also maintaining healthy, long hair. My goal for this inquiry is to hypothesize and experiment on my own hair growth to come to a conclusion on if it is possible to grow your hair quickly. My ultimate goal is to have a scientific finding that supports being able to grow your hair more per month than the average hair growth. I want to learn about this because I believe there is a lot of conflicting information about whether you can make your hair grow faster and how you can do so, so I want to test our different methods to see what works for me and what could potentially work for other people.
Two of the Portrait of a Learner competencies that relate to my inquiry would be the mindful learner competency and the solution seeker competency. Mindful learner relates to my inquiry because it is a competency that includes learning and researching topics which is what I will be doing when researching and learning about hair growth and what affects hair growth. Solution seeker also applies to my inquiry because I am actively trying to find a solution to a problem that many people face after bleaching or dying their hair which is lack of hair growth and health. For my inquiry, I will be contacting a hairdresser to discuss what she has observed as working for hair growth and ask her for tips about how to grow my hair and how to make it healthier.
For my inquiry, I am going to work out a detailed routine for hair growth and stick to the routine for the duration of the school year. Weekly, I will be taking pictures of my hair and also measuring the length of my hair to keep track of growth and noticeable changes in the health of my hair. Each month, I will have a target hair growth margin and I will compare how much my hair grew that month to the growth margin.
