title: [Hair disease or the effect of heat (fire)?].
abstract: We found alterations in the ends of a man's hair, changes that were suspected of being incendiary. The hair ends were dull, but there were no typical macroscopic signs of alteration by heat; yet the microscopic findings were clear. Spindle-shaped changes in the hair were interpreted at first as heat damage but could be explained as the results of hair-setting lotion.
