In 2002 a population study of textile fibres in human hair was carried out using 26 volunteers in Cambridgeshire, UK. Over 12,000 fibres were recovered from a variety of hair lengths using low adhesive tape and classified according to colour, generic type and fibre length. The results of the study showed that the most common fibre colours were black/grey (48%), blue (29.1%) and red (12.7%), the least common being green, orange/brown and yellow which each accounted for less than 5% of the total. Natural fibres (mainly cotton) were predominant (72.3%) and man-made fibres were considerably less frequent. When colour and generic type were classified together, the most common combinations were black and blue cottons. The least common were the man-made fibre/colour combinations with the most frequent of these accounting for less than 7% of the sample. Fibre loads carried by long hair were found to be significantly less than that carried by short hair. The results of this study are in accordance with previous fibre population studies using other types of recipient surfaces and are likely to be influenced by factors such as seasonal and geographical variation.
2002年，在英国剑桥郡对26名志愿者进行了一项关于人发中纺织纤维的群体研究。使用低粘性胶带从各种头发长度中回收了超过12000根纤维，并根据颜色、通用类型和纤维长度进行分类。研究结果表明，最常见的纤维颜色是黑色/灰色（48%）、蓝色（29.1%）和红色（12.7%），最不常见的是绿色、橙色/棕色和黄色，每种颜色占总数的比例均不到5%。天然纤维（主要是棉花）占主导地位（72.3%），人造纤维的出现频率则低得多。当颜色和通用类型一起分类时，最常见的组合是黑色和蓝色棉花。最不常见的是人造纤维/颜色组合，其中出现频率最高的组合占样本的比例不到7%。发现长发携带的纤维量明显少于短发。这项研究的结果与之前使用其他类型受体表面进行的纤维群体研究一致，并且可能受到季节和地理变化等因素的影响。
