A member asked:
Where can i get a hair analysis done at for hair loss and how much does the test generally cost?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not helpful: It is unlikely that a hair analysis would tell you anything helpful about the cause for hair loss. You are better off seeing a dermatologist to see if there is a problem with your scalp and an internist to see if there is a medical cause for hair loss.
