Ever feel like you’ve tried everything for your hair loss, but nothing really gets to the root of the issue? It might be time to look deeper—literally. HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is a powerful, non-invasive tool that gives insight into what’s really going on inside your body. And yes, it can explain why your hair is thinning, shedding, or just not growing the way it should.

In this blog, we’ll break down what HTMA is, how it works, and how it can support your hair and scalp health.


What Is HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis)?

HTMA is a lab test that analyzes a small sample of your hair to check for mineral imbalances and heavy metal toxicity. Since your hair stores minerals over time, this test gives a picture of your internal health over the past few months—not just a snapshot like a blood test.

The test measures:

  • Essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron

  • Toxic elements such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and aluminum

  • Mineral ratios that reveal stress patterns, thyroid function, adrenal health, and more

Why does this matter for hair loss? Because your hair health is often a reflection of your inner health.


How HTMA Helps With Hair Loss

When your minerals are out of balance, your body struggles to grow healthy hair. Here’s how HTMA can guide your recovery:

1. Detects Nutritional Deficiencies

If you’re low in zinc, iron, or magnesium, your hair growth cycle can slow down. HTMA can show if you're missing key minerals that support strong, thick hair.

2. Reveals Hidden Stress

HTMA can detect adrenal burnout or stress overload, which often contributes to hair shedding. By checking calcium and magnesium ratios, it gives a clear picture of how your body handles stress.

3. Exposes Toxic Load

Heavy metals like mercury and aluminum can build up in the body and damage the scalp environment. HTMA spots these toxins so targeted detox plans can be created.

4. Supports Personalized Treatment

No more guessing! HTMA results help us design a plan tailored to your body’s exact needs, from nutritional supplements to stress support and detoxification.


What Happens During an HTMA Test?

It’s simple, painless, and can be done during your visit to Restore Hair Loss and Scalp Clinic. Here’s how it works:

  1. A small sample of your hair is cut close to the scalp (usually from the back of your head).

  2. It’s sent to a lab for testing.

  3. Within 2–3 weeks, we’ll receive a detailed report showing your mineral levels and ratios.

  4. Based on your results, our team creates a custom wellness and hair recovery plan just for you.


Is HTMA Right for You?

HTMA is ideal if:

  • You’ve tried different treatments and still struggle with hair thinning or shedding

  • You experience fatigue, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or chronic stress

  • You want a deeper look into your health to support long-term hair growth

  • You prefer natural, holistic approaches to healing
