description: "Collecting Your Hair Sample\n\nSet up the scale – Bend the black tabs downward to form a fulcrum, then place the scale on a level surface.\n\nCut your hair – Take small samples from the back of your head, as close to the scalp as possible. It’s best to take small amounts from 5–6 different areas.\n\nKeep the right portion – For each piece, keep only 1 inch (2.5 cm) closest to the scalp and discard the rest. Place the kept hair on the scale.\n\nFill the scale – Continue adding hair until the scale tips. It’s designed to collect about 0.25 g of hair. A helpful visual is to imagine a full tablespoon of hair."

# Hair Test

### Hair Collection

**Check Your Kit Instructions**  
Before starting, take a moment to review your kit instructions. This ensures your hair sample is collected correctly and can be processed smoothly.

**Collecting Your Hair**

- Gently collect small hair samples from the **back of the head**, close to the scalp.
- Take hair from **5–6 different areas** to get a representative sample.
- Keep only **1 inch (2.5 cm) of hair** from the scalp; discard the rest.
- **Use the scale provided**: place the hair on the scale as you collect. Continue adding hair until the scale tips — this usually corresponds to roughly **0.25 g**, or about **a heaped tablespoon of hair**. This visual helps ensure you have collected enough for testing.

### **Packaging and Acceptance Criteria**

Regenerus Laboratories reserves the right to dispose of any specimens received that do not meet required collection or packaging criteria. In these cases, repeat collection may be necessary.

### **Further Support**
