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.

However, New Mexico may have additional state-specific drug testing laws for non-DOT employers. BlueHive ensures compliance with both federal and New Mexico state requirements.
How does DOT Final Rule: Hair Testing for Drug Screening affect hair follicle drug test in New Mexico?
DOT published final rule allowing hair testing as an alternative to urine testing for pre-employment drug screening of CDL holders. Employers may opt in to hair testing programs with proper MRO review procedures. Status: effective. Employers should review the source documentation for full details. BlueHive monitors New Mexico regulatory changes and updates employer compliance workflows accordingly.
How far back does hair testing detect drug use?
Standard hair testing detects drug use within the past 90 days. The test cannot detect very recent use (within 5-7 days) as it takes time for drugs to appear in hair.
What if someone has very short or no hair?
Body hair from the chest, arm, or leg can be used. Body hair has a longer detection window (up to 12 months) due to different growth patterns.
