Hair Follicle Drug Testing provides a longer detection window than urine testing, typically 90 days versus 2-7 days. Hair testing detects drug metabolites that become trapped in the hair shaft as hair grows, providing a historical record of drug use.
A small sample of hair (about 100 strands) is collected from the head or body and analyzed at a certified laboratory. Hair testing is particularly effective at detecting patterns of repeated drug use and is harder to cheat than urine testing.
BlueHive offers hair testing as a standalone service or combined with urine testing for comprehensive drug screening programs.
