hair analysis
Follicle forensic testing
Hair analysis is the scientific examination of hair samples to determine their chemical composition, structure, or origin.
In forensics, it helps identify individuals or link suspects to crime scenes.
In toxicology, hair can reveal drug use or poison exposure over months, since substances accumulate in growing hair.
Nutritional hair analysis claims to detect mineral deficiencies, though its reliability is disputed.
