What Is Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis (HTMA)?

Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive wellness assessment that evaluates the mineral content and toxic metal exposure stored in the hair shaft. Unlike blood tests—which show only what’s circulating in the body at that exact moment—HTMA offers a longer-term picture of what your body has been absorbing and retaining over time.

Because hair grows slowly, it acts like a biological record. Minerals, heavy metals, and trace elements become incorporated into the hair as it forms, allowing us to assess patterns related to nutrition, stress, metabolism, and environmental exposure.

At Texture Luxe, HTMA is used as a foundational wellness tool to support hair growth, scalp health, and whole-body balance.

Why Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis Matters for Hair Health

Hair does not grow in isolation. Chronic shedding, thinning edges, slow growth, brittle strands, scalp inflammation, and recurring breakage are often internal signals, not just topical problems.

HTMA helps uncover imbalances that may be contributing to:

  • Hair thinning or excessive shedding

  • Slow or stalled hair growth

  • Chronic dryness or brittleness

  • Scalp irritation or inflammation

  • Fatigue, stress, or burnout patterns

  • Difficulty retaining length

By identifying mineral deficiencies, mineral excesses, and toxic metal burdens, HTMA allows us to connect the dots between internal wellness and external hair health.

This is especially valuable for individuals who feel like they’ve “tried everything” topically—but still aren’t seeing results.

Who Should Consider Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis?

HTMA is beneficial for anyone, but it is especially recommended if you:

  • Are experiencing unexplained hair loss or thinning

  • Struggle with chronic scalp issues

  • Have tried multiple products with little improvement

  • Feel fatigued, stressed, or hormonally imbalanced

  • Want a deeper, root-cause approach to hair health

  • Prefer holistic, preventative care over quick fixes

Even if your hair appears “healthy,” HTMA can be used proactively to optimize mineral balance and prevent future issues.

What Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis Can Reveal

HTMA provides insight into:

  • Essential mineral levels (such as magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, sodium, potassium)

  • Mineral ratios, which reflect stress response and metabolic patterns

  • Heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, aluminum, and arsenic

  • Adrenal and thyroid trends (functional—not diagnostic)

  • Inflammation and detox capacity

These findings help guide personalized lifestyle, nutrition, and hair-care recommendations that support both scalp health and overall wellness.

What to Expect During the HTMA Process

1. Hair Sample Collection

A small amount of hair is collected close to the scalp (typically from the back of the head). The sample is painless and does not affect your hairstyle.

2. Laboratory Analysis

Your hair sample is sent to a certified laboratory where it is analyzed for mineral content and toxic elements.

3. Personalized Results Review

Once results are available, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of your mineral patterns along with a professional interpretation. This is where the magic happens—numbers are translated into real-life meaning.

4. Customized Recommendations

Based on your results, you may receive guidance on:

  • Nutritional support

  • Lifestyle adjustments

  • Stress management strategies

  • Scalp and hair care routines

  • Supplement considerations (if appropriate)

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Everything is tailored to you.

What HTMA Is — and What It Is Not

Hair Mineral Tissue Analysis is a wellness assessment, not a medical diagnosis. It does not replace blood work or medical care, but rather complements traditional healthcare by offering a functional, preventative perspective.

Think of HTMA as a roadmap, not a prescription—one that helps you make informed, empowered decisions about your health and hair.
