    method to examine hair for health and substance information

    Hair Analysis, also known as Hair Testing or Trichological Analysis, is a method used to examine hair samples for various purposes, including detecting drug use, assessing nutritional deficiencies, and diagnosing certain medical conditions. By analyzing the chemical composition and structural properties of hair, professionals can gather information about an individual's health, exposure to toxins, and even genetic factors.
