Invitation
HairS11 will follow the preeminent tradition of the DWI organized hair scientic meetings: since as long as 1978, they offer a unique platform for discussing the newest and most appealing ideas of hair research and hair care science. During HairS09 at the latest it became evident that ndings from modern cell biology are gaining more and more importance in hair science and cosmetics and that there is a chance of inspiration and a need of communication between the so-called dead hair club and the living hair club as was stated in Weimar. We cordially invite members from both communities to attend HairS11 and look forward to another outstanding scientic meeting of colleagues and hair experts from all over the world!
