If a person takes drugs, his blood test results will show it! It will also carry the substance to the person’s hair follicle. So even your hair sample can be used for the detection of drugs. Hair follicle drug tests, like urine tests or oral fluids tests, have now become common and are, in fact, very popular in the USA.

Hair Drug tests can confirm the usage of drugs in the last 90 days. The purpose of the test may be:

  • For medical reasons
  • Legal requirements
  • For employment/workplace purpose

Process for the test

  1. A hair sample from the roots is taken and is submitted to the laboratory. The sample may even be collected at your workplace or from your home.
  2. The laboratory follows a two-step procedure for getting near-perfect results.

a) The first step is the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. This one is for a quick examination.
b) If the person tests positive in the first step, there will be a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) test. This test is conducted to be double-sure about the result.

       3. In case the result is negative in the first step itself, it will be declared within 24 hours. For positive results, it usually takes 72 hours. Hair follicle drug test detection times are generally longer than urine or other fluids tests.

A hair drug test can detect the following:

  • Cocaine
  • Marijuana
  • Substances naturally derived from opium
  • Amphetamines used as nervous system stimulant
  • Phenylcyclohexyl piperidine, also known as angel dust

Do you know how long does marijuana stay in your hair follicles? Well, it starts showing up after 5-10 days, and once the THC binds your hair, it can stay for a lifetime unless you choose to cut your hair! However, the hair drug test will detect usage in the previous 90 days. The hair sample taken is 1.5 inches from the scalp, and usually, new hair grows 0.5 inches every month. So in 90 days, a 1.5-inch sample can detect weed in your hair! You see, that’s how the dots connect!

Marijuana, also known as Cannabis, contains different cannabinoids. The most common type of cannabinoid is THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). So THC and weed stay in your hair follicles, and that is what the hair drug test looks for.

How can you beat a hair follicle drug test? Is that even possible?

  1. If you have a clear record of 90 days and have only used weed recently, it will be easier to pass the test.
  2. If you are a regular user of Marijuana and THC have bound your hair, things become a little difficult. So you have the following options:

a) Bleach and dye your hair multiple times so that the test results are inconclusive. This is not a full-proof method, though.
b) Detox your hair! A detox shampoo to pass a hair follicle drug test is usually considered a good option. These days, the market is flooded with many shampoos for this process. Zydot Ultra-Clean shampoo, Nexxus Aloe Rid, and the STAT! Hair Cleansing Kits are some popular hair follicle drug testing shampoos.

A step by step guide is given in the instruction manual for using these kits.

Usually, the first step will be to shampoo your hair. This cleans your scalp and removes anything that is still stuck on your hair. Next, you will have to use the purifier for the detox and, finally, the conditioner.

Also, note that if you have intimation in advance about the test, you can try these tips to pass the test. There is no quick-fix to pass a hair drug test in 24 hours (1 day).
