How Hair Drug Testing Works

Hair follicle drug testing works by analyzing drug metabolites embedded in the hair shaft as it grows. Our certified collectors take a small sample directly from the scalp, approximately 90 to 120 strands at about 1.5 inches in length, which then goes to a certified laboratory for analysis.

The detection window is what makes this method stand out. A standard head hair sample covers up to 90 days of drug use history. If body hair is used instead, that window can extend to approximately one year. Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the sample reaches the lab.

One important distinction: hair testing isn’t well-suited to detecting very recent use. Drugs consumed within the past few days generally won’t appear in hair yet. For situations where recent use is the concern, pairing a hair test with a urine drug test gives a more complete picture.
