Frequently asked questions
How far back can a hair drug test detect drug use?
It can typically detect drug use from about 90 days prior, depending on hair length and growth rate.
Can I wash my hair to remove drugs before the test?
No. Washing or treating hair does not reliably remove drugs that have been incorporated into the hair shaft.
What if I don't have enough head hair?
The collector may use hair from other parts of the body, such as the arms, legs, or underarms.
Is a hair drug test the same as a urine drug test?
No. Hair tests look for long-term use, while urine tests usually detect recent use over a few days.
