Please reach us at myniche@myniche.org if you have any questions.
Anyone can use our service as far as sending us samples from a location within the USA. At this time, we can't analyze samples sent from the outside of the USA.
Your samples must not have any permanent damage, such as dying, manicure, fungus, etc. We do not need hair root nor follicle. Thus, you can either cut your hair near the scalp or pulling it out.
The best way is to make a sample packet. Please fold a piece of paper into nine folds (3 by 3) or prepare a tiny envelope (about 2' by 3'). Cut your sample into smaller pieces and put them in the folded paper or the tiny envelope. Put this sample packet in a regular mail envelope.
