When taking a sample for hair mineral analysis it is best to wash the hair first, as it should be free of gels, oils and hair creams. Also this will remove any extraneous pollutants collected in the atmosphere.
Location of hair sample
The hair should be taken in small portions from at least 4 or 5 different locations of the scalp. The recommended areas for collection are the nape of the neck and temporal regions, towards the back.
Length of hair sample for testing
Using high grade stainless steel scissors, cut the hair as close to the scalp as possible. The sample length should not exceed 1.5 inches. Retain the 1.5 inches closest to the scalp and discard the excess.
Quantity of hair required for Hair Mineral Analysis
You need to send in at least 150mg of hair, or one heaped teaspoonful.
Sending the hair sample
Please keep the hair in a clean sealed envelope. There’s a very simple form to fill in too. You will either have this on the back of a sample envelope, or in the ebook. The address for posting is specified on either of those, but if you’re in any doubt about where to send it, check with me via the Contact Page.
Please DO NOT put your cheque in the same envelope as the hair – the envelope needs to go unopened to the lab.
Please DO NOT send by postal services that need signature, as I am often unable to be present to sign.
