Head and shoulders (zinc), or selsun blue (selenium), for example. Copper in hair is unreliable, because of copper plumbing. You rinse your hair in copper every time you wash it, and copper binds strongly to hair protein. You need to be selective about what part of a hair analysis you believe. Mercury, probably. Because mercury is volatile, a breath test is better. An atomic absorption spectrograph of a breath sample is the most accurate method.
