I dye my hair. Can color treated hair be used?

Color treated hair does not cause issues on their testing procedures. I died my hair jet black, and the Affordable Testing rep Austin insured me that my results would not be affected. The results were so spot on and I was able to learn about certain foods that have been causing me underlying issues. I have been averaging losing 2 pounds a week! Austin said that some of the grains and vegetables I was consuming was causing me to retain unnecessary water weight. I took my results to my doctor and built a plan around it! Couldn't be happier. I wish this company had more exposure lol

Since they prefer pulled hair, do they keep dna information? use it for anything else? share it with anyone else?

I believe it is in the disclaimer that they will not use your sample for anything else

Does this test for allergies to hay or rabbits?
