Physical because you are physically doing it

Hadassah Lozano · Answer 2

A physical change because you are not changing the chemical composition of your hair. In theory, you could still put that hair back onto your head and it would match the hair still on your head. If it was chemically changed, you would not be able to replace it. Think of wood burning; you can't turn those ashes back to wood, now can you?
