Getting hair chemically analysed in U.K.?

[Minox_Baby]

Is there anywhere in the U.K. that would be able to chemically analyse my hair for me? I know I'll have to pay for this service and I don't mind that. This is for my own personel reasons and I've rather not explain why on this website.

go to the belgravia centre in london. They also have a website. A full examination cost 10 pounds. Good Luck

hmm, when I went there they did NOT offer me a chemical examination. Consultation consisted of a woman running her hands through my hair in all directions!!!

Try a drugs testing lab some do hair tests as well as urine samples but what are you looking for is it a mineral or a chemical ???? this would help me point you in the right direction!

Folks ... be aware that hair loss is typically diagnosed by visual examination. There really is no hair chemical test that will tell you much. If I am incorrect about this, please correct me though. If you're losing your hair in typical male pattern baldness patterns then the chances you have MBP are almost 100%. If you are losing it in abnormal, patchy or other patterns then you have one of the other fairly well known types of hair loss which could include Alopecia Areata. I really believe these clinics are just trying to get your money.

We reprinted an article awhile back that was written about these companies which you may find interesting:

I know I've got male pattern baldness. 100% positive. But I know it was triggered by a recreational drug that I took just over a year ago. I just need to know what it could have been in it. Its driving me crazy. Something I took damaged my DNA which triggered early male pattern baldness and I need to find out what it was.
