Hair samples are usually taken from the head, but can also be collected from areas like the chest, legs, or arms. A trained collector uses scissors to cut a small sample, about the size of a shoelace, which is then sealed in a tamper-proof envelope and sent to the lab.

To ensure accurate results, it’s important that a trained professional collects the sample.  Professionals like a GP or solicitor are acceptable, but we recommend using a trained collector.
