Hair Follicle Testing is a widely used type of drug screening. Any
drug that has been in your blood stream gets absorbed by the hair follicles
in your scalp. As your hair grows out of these follicles, the hair strands
also pick up traces of these drugs. The lab analyzes the root
and shaft of a strand of hair for any drug
residue.
Your hair retains a history of drug use for a long time. A strand of
hair grows an average of 1/4" per month, so just a 4" length can
show drug use as far back as 8 months. Shaving your head before a test
is not the answer either. The testing facility will take a sample from your
underarm or pubic hair if you do not have at least 1" of hair on your
scalp.
What makes matters more difficult, is that second hand marijuana smoke
and vapor from heroin or cocaine smoking can penetrate the hair. The
laboratory test can have difficulty differentiating between hair contaminated by second
hand smoke or hair from an actual user.
If you have been using in the last year or so, or even been around second
hand drug smoke, then there is only one way to effectively pass a hair test.
