  1. I believe you need to have the root of the hair, not just a strand.  I agree with everything everyone else said.


  2. I would pick the vacuumed sealed glass jar with a glass lid, as metals and plastics may contaminate the DNA.

  3. Keep it away from sunlight, UV rays can damage DNA.

  4. Put it in a vacuumable bag or jar.

    Put that bag in a box that is entirely opaque.

    Store that box in a climate-controlled environment.
