Hair Follicle Test – Hair & Skin Analysis (Epigenetic Hair Follicle Test)

The health of your hair and scalp is influenced not only by your genes, but also by how your body interacts with the environment every single day. The Hair Follicle Test – Hair & Skin Analysis, also known as the Epigenetic Hair Follicle Test, available through HPIHair Partners, offers a unique way to look beyond basic labs and examine how nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental exposures may be affecting your hair growth, scalp condition, and overall wellbeing.

What is an Epigenetic Hair Follicle Test?

An epigenetic hair follicle test uses a few of your hair bulbs (roots) to capture information about the “signals and frequencies” associated with nutrition, stress, toxins, and other external influences on your body. The hair bulb can reflect how your system has been interacting with factors such as:

• The food you eat and the nutrients you absorb.
• Ongoing stress levels and lifestyle demands.
• Environmental exposures including pollution, heavy metals, and chemicals.
• Electromagnetic fields and other modern environmental influences.

By analyzing these epigenetic signals, the test generates a detailed, personalized report highlighting areas where your body—and especially your hair and skin—may need support.

In-office or at-home convenience

HPIHair Partners offers two convenient ways to complete this test:

In-office test with immediate report

During your visit, a hair-loss specialist collects individual hair bulbs and processes them through the epigenetic system, allowing you to review a preliminary report the same day.

At-home test kit

If you prefer, you can perform the collection from the comfort of your home by following simple instructions, then return the sample for analysis.

Both options result in a comprehensive report that HPI interprets and integrates into your personalized care plan.

What you receive with your Hair Follicle Test purchase

Your Hair Follicle Test package through HPIHair Partners is designed to be complete and actionable. You receive:

• Hair Follicle Test – Analysis of hair bulbs for epigenetic signals related to hair, skin, and overall wellness.
• 30-day follow-up – A scheduled follow-up consultation to review how you are implementing the recommendations and to adjust as needed.
• Personalized 30-plus-page report – A detailed, easy-to-read document outlining key findings and practical suggestions for diet, lifestyle, environmental exposures, and supportive products. (You can review a sample report on the HPI website for a preview of the level of detail.)
• Clinical trichologist and certified nutritional care plan is created by HPI’s clinical trichologist and nutrition-focused team to turn your report into real-world action steps.

This combination transforms the test from a data dump into a guided roadmap.

How epigenetic hair analysis supports shed, growth, and “keep” phases

The Hair Follicle Test is particularly powerful because it bridges hair, scalp, and whole-body health:

• Shed – Identifies contributing factors such as nutrient gaps, stress load, or environmental burdens that may be accelerating shedding or weakening follicles.
• Grow – Provides guidance on supportive nutrients, lifestyle shifts, and topical strategies that can create a more favorable environment for active growth.
• Keep – Highlights maintenance habits and environmental clean-up strategies to protect current and future hair health.

HPI uses this information to refine supplement plans, topical choices, and lifestyle recommendations so your protocol addresses more than just the scalp surface.

How the in-office experience works

For patients choosing the in-office option at HPI’s Brentwood location:

• Visit and consultation – You meet with a hair-loss specialist who reviews your concerns, performs a visual and trichology-based assessment, and explains the epigenetic test.
• Hair bulb collection – A few hair strands with bulbs are gently taken from specific sites.
• Scanning and analysis – The bulbs are processed through the epigenetic technology, generating your personalized report.
• Initial review – Your provider walks you through key findings, then schedules your 30-day follow-up to check on progress and fine-tune your plan.

For at-home kits, the steps are similar, with sample collection done by you and results reviewed virtually or at a subsequent appointment.

Many patients are able to use HSA and FSA funds for eligible healthcare expenses. You should always check the specific details of your plan to confirm coverage and requirements such as referrals or documentation.

If you suspect that nutrition, stress, or environmental exposures are playing a role in your hair loss, the Hair Follicle Test – Hair & Skin Analysis (Epigenetic Hair Follicle Test) from HPIHair Partners can give you actionable insights instead of vague guesses. Choose an in-office test for an immediate report or request an at-home kit, then work with HPI’s clinical trichologist and nutrition-focused team to translate your personalized 30-plus-page report into a practical, 30-day and beyond care plan.
