I am currently investigating the effect of moisture on tensile strength of hair.
However, my school lab's equipments are limited. Thus, I am wondering whether
there is a simple yet accurate way to measure tensile strength of hair or not. 
And also how to control the moisture content of the hair.
Thanks.
