Intolerance vs. allergy
An allergy is an immune system reaction that can be serious, even from a tiny exposure. An intolerance or sensitivity is a non-immune response that may cause discomfort like bloating, fatigue or skin issues. Strandsology screens for sensitivities only. It is not an allergy test and is not intended to diagnose any condition.

Hair sensitivity test FAQs
What is the Strandsology hair sensitivity test?
Strandsology is an at-home hair analysis kit that screens 630+ foods, ingredients and environmental items from a small hair sample. You collect 10–15 strands at home, mail them back in the prepaid envelope, and get a color-coded report online.
Is this an allergy test?
No. Strandsology is a food sensitivity and intolerance screening, which is different from an allergy. Allergies involve the immune system and can be serious. If you have a known or suspected allergy, please work with your healthcare provider.
How fast will I get my results?
Your report is posted to your account within 3–5 business days after your sample arrives at our facility. We'll email you as soon as it's ready.
How do I take a food sensitivity test at home?
Order your kit, register your unique kit ID online, collect 10–15 strands of hair and mail them back in the prepaid envelope. No needles, no blood draw and no appointment.
Why use hair instead of a blood test?
Hair is painless to collect, takes about a minute, and travels well by mail. There are no needles, no finger pricks and no lab visit, which makes it easy for the whole family.
How much hair do I need?
10–15 strands. If your hair is very short, send 20 or more. Full collection instructions come in the kit.
What does the test screen for?
630+ items across common foods and drinks, food additives and sweeteners, environmental factors like dust and pollen, and everyday materials and ingredients.
Can kids take the test?
Yes, the kit works for adults and kids. A parent or guardian should register the kit and collect the sample for anyone under 18.
How do the bundles work?
Buy 2, get 1 free: 3 tests for the price of 2. Buy 3, get 2 free: 5 tests for the price of 3. Every kit has its own ID, so each person gets their own report, or you can keep extras to retest later.
What should I do with my results?
Use them as a starting point. Many people try removing one or two flagged items for a few weeks and notice how they feel. Share your report with your healthcare provider before making big changes to your diet.
Is my information private?
Your kit is registered to your account with a unique ID, and your report is only available through your account. Kits ship in discreet packaging.
Can I return my kit?
Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery.

The at-home hair sensitivity test for food and environmental intolerances
Strandsology is an at-home food sensitivity test that uses a simple hair sample instead of a blood draw. Our hair analysis kit screens 630+ foods, drinks, food additives, environmental factors and everyday materials, then delivers an easy-to-read, color-coded report so you know what to look at first.
Food sensitivity vs. food allergy
A food allergy is an immune system reaction that can be serious, even from a tiny amount. A food sensitivity or food intolerance is a non-immune response that may show up hours later as bloating, gas, fatigue, brain fog, headaches or skin irritation. Strandsology is a food intolerance test, not an allergy test, and is designed as a wellness screening to help you decide where to start.
What our intolerance test kit screens
Your report covers common trigger foods like dairy, wheat and gluten-containing grains, eggs, soy, nuts, shellfish, coffee and nightshades; food additives and sweeteners like artificial colors, MSG, sulfites and aspartame; environmental factors like dust, pollen, mold and pet dander; and everyday materials like latex, nickel and fragrance.
How the at-home hair test works
Order your kit, register your unique kit ID online, collect 10–15 strands of hair and mail them back in the prepaid envelope. Your report is posted to your account within 3–5 business days after your sample arrives at our facility. No needles, no finger pricks and no appointments.
A sensitivity test for the whole family
Because there are no needles, Strandsology is an easy food sensitivity test for kids and adults alike. Our bundles let you test the whole household for less: buy 2, get 1 free, or buy 3, get 2 free. Every kit has its own ID and its own report.
Using your results
Most people use their report to plan a short elimination trial, removing one or two flagged items for a few weeks and noticing how they feel. Strandsology is for general wellness information and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk with your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet.
