Hair drug testing, also known as hair follicle drug testing, employs a scientific technique to identify drug consumption by examining hair samples.

How it works:

• Drug enters bloodstream: Upon drug use, the substance and its metabolites (breakdown products) permeate the bloodstream.
• Drugs reach hair follicles: Every hair follicle contains a blood vessel, facilitating the movement of drugs from the blood to the hair follicle.
• Drugs get trapped in hair: As the hair extends, traces of these chemicals embed within the hair strand's cortex.
• Hair sample collection: Typically, a hair sample is obtained from the head (or body hair if head hair is inadequate).
• Lab analysis: The hair sample undergoes testing in a laboratory.
  • Screening: An initial Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test screens for drug metabolites.
  • Confirmation: Should the ELISA test return positive, a more precise confirmation test, such as Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid - Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), verifies the presence of drug metabolites and rules out false positives.

Advantages of hair drug testing:

• Long detection window: Hair drug tests reveal drug use for as long as 90 days, unlike urine tests that have a shorter detection timeframe.
• Difficulty to cheat: The complexity in tampering with a hair drug test ensures greater accuracy in results.
• Provides historical data: It offers a timeline of drug use over an extended period, rather than just recent usage.

Limitations:

• Cannot detect recent use: It requires about 5-7 days for drugs to be identifiable in hair.
• Cost: Hair drug tests tend to be pricier than other drug testing procedures.
• Variations in results: Factors like hair color and individual differences in hair growth can influence the concentration of drug metabolites in the hair.

Note: While commonly termed as "hair follicle tests", the actual analysis focuses on the hair strand and not the hair follicle beneath the scalp.

Why is Hair Follicle Drug Testing Important

Why Hair Follicle Testing Beats Other Forms

Hair follicle testing offers superior detection accuracy compared to other methods. Unlike URINE tests, it can trace drug use up to 90 days, providing a more comprehensive assessment.

This reliability makes it an excellent choice for employers in Wisconsin who need thorough drug history insight of potential and current employees.

Additionally, hair testing eliminates the risk of cheating that plagues URINE tests. It’s harder for individuals to alter results, as the test analyzes the hair shaft for evidence.
