hTMA (hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) nutritional balancing is the practice of attempting to analyze human hair to determine nutritional factors. According to Quackwatch, "analysis of human hair is not a valid technique for identifying an individual's current bodily excesses or deficiencies of essential or nonessential elements. Nor does it provide a valid basis for recommending vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements."
Quackwatch addresses hTMA in an article entitled, Commercial Hair Analysis: A Cardinal Sign of Quackery.
