How to use:  Use head hair if possible or pubic hair if you are bald. (Do not mix)

1. Set up the scale as diagrammed. Bend the black tabs down to form a fulcrum and place on a level surface
2. Cut samples of hair from back of head(see illustration). Using stainless steel scissors, cut hair as close to the scalp as possible. It is best if small amounts of hair are cut from 5 or 6 areas in the back of the head.
   3. As each piece of hair is cut from the head, save only 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the hair closest to the scalp.
   Cut off and discard the rest. Place the saved hair on the scale.
   4. Keep cutting and adding hair to the scale until it tips. The scale is designed to collect about 0.25
   grams of hair.
   5. Label the plastic bag with the patient’s name, date of birth, sex, date of collection, doctor’s name, and
   hair type.
   6. Put the hair into the plastic bag, seal, and send to Doctor’s Data, Inc.
