FAQs on Hair Follicle Tests

How Does Hair Follicle Testing Work?

A hair follicle test uses a hair sample, typically from the hair’s root, to detect metabolites. These substances are absorbed into the bloodstream and carried into the hair follicle.   Traces of metabolites can then be detected in the hair follicle. This type of test is known for its long detection period, usually up to 90 days, making it a more reliable method.  

Can a hair test be performed on someone with little or no hair?

Yes, a hair test can be conducted even if someone has little or no hair. If the donor does not have head hair or if their hair is less than ½ inch long, a sample can be taken from other locations on the body, such as the chest, underarm, leg, or facial hair.   However, head hair should not be mixed with body hair. In cases where hair is not present in large quantities anywhere on the body, a collector may combine hair from different locations on the body or from various areas of the scalp to complete a single sample or conduct other experiments to accommodate the limitations.
