Hair Follicle Drug Test
It used to be at one time that hair drug testing would catch only the drug addict or abuser of drugs, as we believe it should do. The cut of levels (the level that they can first detect drugs in your hair) were at a point where it would only detect the person who abused drugs and could be considered a liability as an employee.

More Hair Follicle Drug Test Information• Without getting too technical, a hair drug test is
done by clipping (not plucking in most cases) the hair about 1/8” from the scalp, taking about 1.5” of hair (most labs will work with 1” of hair since many people wear their hair short).
• The hair is then washed thoroughly (the reason why masking products no longer work), and then dissolved in a solvent. The drug metabolites become separated out of the hair and then can be read and detected.
