Standard hair follicle testing

A small sample cut close to the scalp, about the width of a pencil, gives the laboratory roughly the last 90 days of history. It is far harder to beat than a urine test and shows patterns of use rather than a single moment.

Hair testing is a common choice for pre-employment screening, custody and family matters, and any situation where a longer look-back matters more than detecting use in the last few days.

If head hair is too short, body hair can be collected instead. Our collector will explain what the lab can and cannot report from the sample.

Hair follicle drug tests from $100.

Segmented hair follicle testing

Segmented analysis divides the hair sample into sections, each representing about a month of growth, and reports each segment separately. Instead of one 90-day answer, you see how use changed month by month.

That timeline is what courts, treatment programs and families often need to show abstinence, relapse or a pattern over time.

Segmented testing requires enough hair length for the segments requested. Our collector will confirm what is possible before cutting.

Segmented hair follicle drug tests from $300.

What to expect at the collection

About 15 minutes

The collection itself is quick. The collector documents the sample, seals it in front of the donor and completes the chain of custody form.

Nothing visible

Hair is taken from the crown in small amounts from several spots, so there is no bald patch and no obvious sign a sample was collected.

Lab-reported results

Samples go to a certified laboratory and results are reported to the party you designate when the test is ordered.
