Hair analysis has emerged as a valuable method for detecting substance and alcohol consumption. Hair captures a lasting record of alcohol and drug use by embedding biomarkers within the extensions of the hair strand. When sampled near the scalp, hair offers a detection duration of up to about 90 days for alcohol and drugs. Collecting hair is a straightforward process, challenging to tamper with, and simple to transport.
A section measuring 1.5 inches of roughly 200 hair strands (approximately the circumference of a #2 pencil) closest to the scalp provides 100mg of hair, the optimal amount for testing and verification. For EtG, additional tests, and assessments over 10 panels, 150mg of the specimen is advisable. We suggest measuring the specimen using a jeweler’s scale. If scalp hair is not present, a similar quantity of body hair may be acquired. When mentioning head hair, we are specifically referring to scalp hair. Body hair pertains to all other types of hair (such as facial, axillary, etc.).
Process Overview
The four primary stages in the lab processing of a drug test outcome are Accessioning, Screening, Extraction, and Confirmation.
Accessioning entails the initial intake of a sample into a lab’s framework. This includes confirming the sample's proper sealing and delivery, assigning a random LAN (Laboratory Accessioning Number), and finalizing any extra data input not completed through an electronic chain of custody system.
Screening involves a preliminary fast check for substance abuse. While Screening is a cost-efficient way to negate drug use in most samples, a positive screen requires validation to be court-admissible. Any samples that show a presumptive positive in Screening necessitate further confirmation.
If a sample shows a presumptive positive in the Screening phase, more hair is extracted from the original specimen and readied for Extraction. In this phase, substances are extracted from hair at a much lower concentration than other methods (such as urine or oral fluid), which makes hair drug screening the most challenging methodology to execute.
Confirmation of any positive screening result is conducted via GC/MS, GC/MS/MS, or LC/MS/MS. All presumptive positive samples are cleaned before confirmation as necessary. The comprehensive lab process from Accessioning to Confirmation is evaluated under both the CAP (College of American Pathologists) Hair designation and the accreditation to ISO / IEC 17025 standards.
Advantages of hair drug testing:
Limitations:
Note: Although frequently called "hair follicle tests", the test itself examines the hair strand and not the hair root beneath the scalp.

The joint meeting of the Society of Hair Testing (SoHT) and the Italian Group of Forensic Toxicologists (GTFI) was organized in Verona, June 8–10, 2022, and hosted by the Legal Medicine team of the Verona University Hospital, directed by Franco Tagliaro together with Federica Bortolotti and Rossella Gottardo.
It served as a prominent platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, facilitating groundbreaking advancements in hair testing and analysis. In this special issue of Drug Testing and Analysis, we aim to showcase the remarkable manuscripts presented at this significant event, shedding light on the latest research and highlighting the future directions in this field.
Novel Analytical Techniques: The Verona meeting witnessed the unveiling of cutting-edge analytical techniques, offering enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy for drug testing. Remarkable advancements in sample preparation, detection, and identification of drug compounds have been presented. The manuscripts in this section presented novel approaches, such as multianalyte methods and on-line preparation which can enable rapid analysis and improve thorough forensic investigations.
Biomarkers and Pharmacokinetics: The identification and validation of reliable biomarkers and pharmacokinetic studies are fundamental aspects of drug testing and analysis. The impact of hair treatments on the oxidation/decomposition of drugs in hair was also explored, as the long-term fate of drugs incorporated in the keratin matrix. Furthermore, the SoHT meeting in Verona featured research on the identification and quantification of alcohol abuse biomarkers, their stability, and their correlation with exposure and other biomarkers.
Forensic Applications and Interpretation: One of the vital objectives of hair testing is its application in forensic investigations and legal proceedings. The SoHT meeting in Verona emphasized the significance of rigorous interpretation of analytical results and the need for standardized protocols. Manuscripts in this section present advancements in forensic toxicology, and have explored the challenges posed by emerging designer drugs and strategies to combat their proliferation. The pitfalls encountered when the exogenous/endogenous nature of a substance is questioned were presented and discussed. The special issue presents also manuscripts that delve into the ethical implications of drug testing in drug facilitated sexual assaults.
Clinical Applications of hair testing are witnessed by the insight on environmental tobacco smoke exposure, assessed by hair analysis in a population of students and the study of in utero-exposure to drugs of abuse through neonatal hair analysis. Exposure to drugs was also important in cases of child abuse/neglect, when the clinical purpose of hair testing merge with its forensic applications.
The legal framework surrounding hair testing and the achievement of guidelines to ensure fairness, accuracy, and confidentiality in drug testing practices have also been discussed,and the SoHT consensus on general hair testing and testing for drugs of abuse was presented at the meeting and published as a Letter to the Editor.
In conclusion, the special issue of Drug Testing and Analysis, featuring manuscripts from the SoHT–GTFI meeting in Verona 2022, reflects the remarkable advancements achieved in this field. The manuscripts provide valuable insights into novel analytical techniques, biomarkers, pharmacokinetics, forensic applications, and ethical considerations. As we embrace these advancements, we pave the way for a safer, healthier society, where drug testing and analysis serve as powerful tools in protecting public health and maintaining integrity in various sectors.
