WHAT IS THE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES BASED ON THIS QUESTION: DOES HUMIDITY AFFECT HAIR IN THE SAME WAY WHETER IT IS LONG, SHORT,STRAIGHT, CURLY, COLORED, OF PERMED?
I REALLY NEED SOME HELP I'M SO CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please use lower-case letters. Capital letters or upper-case letters are too difficult to read and considered impolite in computer language.
Sra
sorry but could you please help me?

I understand that you're feeling confused and frustrated, so I'm here to help. In this question, the independent variable is the humidity, as it is being manipulated or controlled by the person conducting the experiment. The dependent variable is the effect of the humidity on the hair.
To determine the effect of humidity on hair, you would need to conduct an experiment. Here's how you can set it up:
1. Start by gathering a sample of hair with different characteristics, including long, short, straight, curly, colored, and permed hair.
2. Divide the hair samples into groups or categories based on their characteristics. For example, you could have one group for long hair, another for short hair, and so on.
3. Next, set up controlled conditions for each group of hair. This means keeping all variables, except humidity, constant. For instance, ensure that the temperature, hair care products used, and other external factors are the same for each group.
4. Expose each group of hair samples to different levels of humidity. You could use a controlled humid environment or create different humidity levels artificially.
5. After a certain period of time, observe and record any changes in the hair for each group. This could include noting differences in texture, frizziness, or any other observable effects due to humidity.
6. Finally, analyze the data collected and determine if there is any correlation between humidity and the different hair characteristics.
Keep in mind that this is just one possible way to approach the experiment. You could modify the procedure based on the resources and equipment available to you. It's also essential to repeat the experiment multiple times to ensure the reliability of the results.
