The Horizon team have gathered together a team of scientists and doctors to investigate the incredible, natural material that is growing out of our heads - our hair.
With access to the research laboratories of some of the world's leading hair care companies, including L'Oreal and ghd, the team explore the cutting-edge research and technology designed to push the boundaries of hair and hair care.
Each one of us has a unique head of hair - an average of 150,000 individual hair strands growing approximately one centimetre every month.
Over your lifetime, that is over 800 miles.
The time and effort we put into styling, sculpting and maintaining this precious material has created a global hair care market worth a staggering £60-billion pounds.
With such high stakes, it is inevitable that when developing hair-care products, science and business operate hand in hand.
The team reveal how this industry science compares to the rigorous academic standards that they are used to.
These investigations also reveal why we care so much about our hair, and whether or not it is worth splashing out on expensive shampoos.
They uncover the magic ingredients found in conditioners and lay bare the secrets of the shiny, glossy hair seen in the adverts.

In the second year of this unprecedented project, presenters Liz Bonnin, Chris Packham, Steve Backshall, Gordon Buchanan, Ade Adepitan and Ella Al-Shamahi will be in California, Greenland, the Maldives, Brazil, Kenya and Cambodia, exploring the ecological issues threatening the planet.
Experiencing the effect of urbanisation, desertification, the warming and acidification of our seas, melting glaciers, global warming and economic development, each presenter will also discover stories of hope through the conservation efforts of local residents, scientists and conservationists, working to preserve our ecosystems.
Can we turn the tide, halt the wildfires, save our coral reefs and prevent vast areas of the earth becoming too hot to inhabit?
In this series the six eyewitness presenters will revisit some of the projects they discovered in the first season and introduce us to new ones that just may be the groundbreaking solutions that could restore Earth's natural balance and save the communities and wildlife under threat.
In the Season 2 premiere: In the first episode we travel to three of the six locations with Steve Backshall, Liz Bonnin and Chris Packham.
Steve Backshall travels to the Maldives, a country facing significant challenges because of climate change.
Warming seas and the acidification of the oceans have led to coral bleaching on a massive scale, globally.
And increasingly unpredictable weather patterns could deal the final blow.
Steve returns to Laamu Atoll to find out about one such cutting edge project.
Professor Steve Simpson and his team from Bristol University have identified that coral larvae, baby corals no bigger than a pinhead, move towards the sound of a healthy reef, a response that guides them to settle amongst a more biodiverse and healthier habitat and in so doing, add to the coral population.
Liz returns to California to investigate some surprising solutions for the relentless onslaught of the state's wildfire season.
California's wildfires are becoming a yearly catastrophe with the state government spending billions of dollars in just the last five years to fight these out-of-control blazes.
Chris Packham is in Greenland to learn more about the effects of global warming and the rate at which snow and ice are melting and retreating in the Arctic.
He travels to a science research station on the island's remote Northeast coast, one of the most important locations in the world for the understanding of warming in the Arctic and its global impact.
