What Is An Epigenetic Hair Strand Test?
Did you know up to 60% of hair loss is linked to nutrient deficiencies?
Understanding why your hair is thinning is the first and most important step toward achieving long-lasting results.
Epigenetic Mapping is a groundbreaking hair strand test that analyzes the hair bulb to uncover key insights about the nutritional imbalances and environmental stressors affecting your hair health.
While hair isn’t essential for survival, it plays a powerful role in how we feel about ourselves. Hair loss can deeply affect your emotional well-being, often leading to self-doubt, diminished confidence, and even depression.
What you eat, how you live, and what you're exposed to every day all influence how your body functions, including how much energy it can give to growing strong, healthy hair.
Who Is This Test For?
For anyone, especially If your hair is thinning, an epigenetic test can help uncover why it is happening rather than simply identifying the pattern of hair loss. Hair thinning is often influenced by underlying functional stressors such as nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, immune or post-viral stress, poor detoxification, or environmental factors that disrupt normal follicle signaling. An epigenetic test evaluates how these internal and external influences are affecting gene expression related to hair growth, shedding cycles, circulation, and cellular repair. This information helps identify hidden contributors that may not show up on standard blood work or a scalp exam alone, allowing for a more targeted and personalized approach to supporting the scalp and hair follicles. By addressing the root causes impacting follicle health, epigenetic testing can improve treatment outcomes and help prevent continued or progressive thinning..
What To Expect?
During your epigenetic hair analysis, four hairs are gently plucked from the back of the nape area with the hair bulb intact, as the bulb contains critical cellular and biological information. These hair bulbs are analyzed using the For Healthy Cells S-Drive scanner, a non-invasive technology designed to assess functional patterns within the body. The hair bulb holds approximately 90 days of information, allowing the test to reflect longer-term influences rather than a single moment in time. The scan evaluates factors commonly associated with hair thinning and hair loss, including nutrient deficiencies, cellular stress, inflammation, detoxification efficiency, immune activity, hormonal signaling, and environmental stressors. Within 48 hours, you will receive a comprehensive consultation reviewing your epigenetic test results, what they mean for your hair and scalp health, and clear, personalized next steps. This service includes a simple, customized 90-day plan designed to address underlying imbalances, support healthier hair growth, and improve overall follicle function.
Is There Maintenance?
Epigenetic testing is not limited to a one-time use. Because epigenetic patterns change in response to lifestyle, stress, nutrition, environmental exposure, and health status, the test can be repeated to monitor progress and changes over time. Many clients begin with an initial test to identify underlying contributors to hair thinning or scalp concerns, then retest every 3-4 months for the first year to assess how their body is responding to the recommended support plan. Follow-up testing helps refine protocols, track improvement, and ensure continued alignment as the body adapts and rebalances.
