yes you can but in order to do a hair test for paternity, you need to have hair that still has the roots and follicles still attached. This means, taking strands from a brush will not work, you need to pull the hair from your head and look to make sure the hair follicles and roots come attached to the sample. In most cases of a paternity test, three to four strands of hair require submitting in order to do the DNA testing.

Yes, there is a new non-invasive Pre-Natal paternity test which is performed as early as 13 weeks into the pregnancy. This new fetal cell DNA test uses the mother's blood to isolate the DNA of the fetus and then compares it to the alleged father's DNA collected from a buccal swab, hair sample or even forensic samples such as a toothbrush, water bottle or chewing gum - no blood sample is required for the would-be Dad.
