Frequently Asked Questions
- When you have questions, we have answers. We have you covered when you need to know about hair drug testing kits.
How long does it take to get the results of a hair drug test?
- Different drug tests are available to fit any needs you or your business may have. For example, the Hair Follicle On-Site drug testing kit is a kit that only takes 10 minutes to give you accurate test results. However, we offer tests that can be sent off and back to you with test results in 2-3 business days.
Is the hair follicle test the most accurate drug test?
- Apart from a blood test, hair follicle drug tests are some of the most accurate drug tests on the market. However, this type of test can detect usage from 90 days before the drug test, making it one of the most challenging drug tests to pass. In addition, this test can show a variety of toxins that have been used over this period. For employers, oral fluid and urine tests are the most common drug tests, but some abuse the hair test simply because of its accuracy.
What is the drug detection window for this hair test?
- The drug detection window can vary depending on several factors, such as the drug test's sensitivity, preparation and route of administration, how long substances were used, and many other elements. For example, the drug detection window has been found longest in hair as it is detected for up to 90 days. This window is significantly longer than urine or saliva routes that can only test results for one to seven days.
How much hair is needed for a drug test?
- It is a common misconception that only one strand of hair is used for a hair strand drug test. However, you will need 90 to 120 hairs to complete the hair test for accurate drug testing.
What illegal substances can show on a hair test?
This type of test can show virtually any drug that has been used, from marijuana to cocaine. Only recently, just a few illegal substances could be tested through the hair, but now the list continues to grow as this is the most accurate drug test on the market. Drugs that can be detected on a hair test include:
- Marijuana or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
- Cocaine
- Dilaudid
- Lortab
- Opiates
- Methamphetamine
- Amphetamine
- Ecstasy
- Vicodin
Can you drug test for different illegal substances at once?
- In short, yes. Most of our drug tests are multi-paneled drug tests, which means there is more than just one substance that the drug test is looking for. Our drug tests cover a range of traditional drugs and prescription drugs.
What does the Hair Confirm testing kit include?
- This hair test includes the drug test itself, offering private and confidential drug testing. Each drug test has a specimen number, so no personal information is needed. We only use the highest-rated laboratories to test our samples, so you can rest easy knowing your drug test sample is tested quickly and accurately. When the test results are completed, you will receive a positive or negative test result; if positive, you will also receive a report on the user that shows whether they have small, moderate, or everyday use. These drug tests are easy to use with an instruction pamphlet included and a pre-paid package to send the sample in.
Can you drug test body hair?
- A common question we receive is if we can only do the drug test on head hair, but the answer is that we can drug test more than just head hair. Hair tests include hair from your body, such as the underarms, chest, and beard. Most people believe that the test results won't be the same if tested on body hair, but the truth is that the hair growth for body hair is the same as head hair, making the test results just as accurate.
