One of the things I love most about hair science is that a single strand can tell a story... sometimes even 200 years later.

A hair strand can preserve clues about health, diet, environmental exposures, physiology, and even the timing of events in a person's life. When that person happens to be one of the world's most famous composers, the story becomes even more extraordinary.

Over the coming months, I will be sharing parts of an incredible journey involving history, science, and one very famous lock of hair.

Stay connected... there are some fascinating discoveries still to come.
