HOW TO PASS HAIR
A DRUG TEST
WITH CONFIDENCE!
A Hair Drug Test
is considered highly accurate at showing any prescription drugs, drugs
of abuse or even nicotine from smoking that have been used within a specified
detection window.
As hair grows out drugs used are encased
in the hair shaft, so the longer the hair, the longer back in an individual's
drug history the drug testing laboratory can go. Most hair drug testing
laboratories tend to use only the hair within about 2.5 - 4 cm of the scalp and
discard the rest. This arbitrarily limits the detection history to about
90 days, depending upon the rate at which your hair grows.
Some people attempt to circumvent the hair
drug test through shaving their heads. In the absence of the required
amount of hair on the scalp, any body hair can be used as an acceptable
substitute. For pre-employment hair testing the inability to obtain a
sample may be grounds for not hiring the individual.
In recent years, hair testing has been the
subject of a number of law suits. Some studies have shown that different ethnic
groups have different hair structures potentially leading to false-positives.
A false positive is when you test positive for drug use and have not used any
drugs. Those of African origin,
certain Orientals or Pacific Islanders might be more apt to test positive for marijuana
based on their skin type. Dark
skinned Caucasians such as those from the subcontinent of India could also read
positive on a marijuana hair drug test s. For more information on a false positive

There is a growing trend in major
companies and law enforcement agencies to utilize
hair analysis drug test in account of
its efficiency and reputation as the gold standard when considering test
accuracy. This technology makes use of radioimmunoassay technology with
subsequent confirmation by mass spectrometry. Hair Testing labs are
regulated by CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988) or SAMHSA
(Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration) and not the FDA (Food
and Drug Administration).
PASS A HAIR
SAMPLE DRUG TEST
WITH SCIENCE
 How Contamination Takes Place: Prescription and/or controlled substances
are ingested.
Your body "metabolizes" this material and
trace amounts of these "metabolites", through the blood, become entrapped the
strands in amounts roughly proportional to the amount of the
substance ingested.
These
metabolites remain in the strands as it
grows and cannot be removed without destroying the strands. Analysis not only can detect these metabolites, but also can provide information of
quantity consumed and even the historic pattern of use. Use can be detected for many months
or even years in the future under ideal circumstances.
About Hair Strand Drug
Test
The shaft is made up three layers. The inner layer is the medulla. The next layer is the cortex and the outer layer is the
cuticle. The cortex makes up the majority of the shaft
and is formed by
tightly packed scales in an overlapping structure similar to roof shingles.
The
metabolites are
deposited within the cortex layer as it feeds off the contaminated blood and
grows.
How The Analysis
Works: A
sample
can be obtained from any part of the body. This
means
shaving your head will not work as under arm or pubic samples can be used.
The sample is removed
and cut it into very small pieces. This is soaked in a solvent that causes
some of the metabolites to go into suspension. The
solution is then placed in a centrifuge and separated. The sample is then subjected
to analysis, the results are read and a conclusion made.

Ultra Cleans' Three
Stages:
-
The first stage cleans and then opens up the cuticle layer with a special
shampoo.
-
The second stage places sealer around the
"scales" of the cuticle and this sealer can not to be dissolved
in any solvent. If there are no metabolites in the solvent as it is
analyzed, then there is nothing to detect. The sealant
will remain on the sample indefinitely, so if the sample is analyzed even years later, you will still be O. K.
-
The third stage is a conditioner to aid in control of tangles, add sheen and generally improve
manageability.

QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS
|
Question
|
|
What is a hair drug test?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
A drug hair test is an examination that uses a small sample of hair
to identify specific drug usage (legal, prescription and/or over the counter) by
the person being tested. A hair drug test measures the drug only after the
drug has been processed by the human body into metabolites. Trace amounts
of these metabolites are inserted into hair strand by the
bloodstream.

Question
|
|
What time
period does a standard hair test cover?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
A
drug test hair sample covers a period of approximately 90 days, but is susceptible to
time variation depending on the growth rate of your hair. The drug test hair sample
is cut as close to the scalp as possible and the most recent 4 cm (or 1.5
inches) is tested. It is possible to go back even further than 90 days
since the time period is limited only by the length of the hair sample. It
is entirely up to the testing laboratory.

|
Question
|
|
What type
of drugs can be detected in a standard hair test?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Cocaine (Cocaine & Benzoylecgonine), Marijuana, Opiates (Codeine,
Morphine & 6-Monacteyl Morphine), Methamphetamine (Methamphetamine/Amphetamine &
Ecstasy) and Phencyclidine (PCP)are are the five drug classes that are mandated
for testing by the Federal Government.
Some
screenings go farther and look for more specific substances such as steroids,
prescriptions and/or tobacco product usage.
It is safe to assume if you are concerned about a specific usage the testing
agency will be too.

Question
|
|
Can body hair be
drug tested like hair from the head?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Most often hair
from ones head is used for drug testing if at all possible. The growth
rates for body hair can be considerably slower than the hair from your head.
It is challenging to precisely represent the time period of a standard screen
with body hair other than your head hair, so substances may be detected in body
hair for up to 1 year after the substance left the blood stream.
Back to
Top |
|
Question
|
|
How
much hair is needed?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
A standard screen with GC/MS confirmation requires 40+ milligrams
of hair or approximately 50 - 70 strands that are up to 4 cm (or 1.5 inches) in
length. The thickness and pigment color of different types of head hair (thick
black vs. thinning gray) is the basis of this variation.

|
|
Question
|
|
What if I am almost bald or
have no hair?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Hair can be collected from several head and/or body
locations and combined to obtain the required amount of hair. In the rare
case where no hair is collectable, complete urine/adulteration testing may be
utilized. However, some companies might use the absence of hair for a drug
test to deny employment.

|
Question
|
|
How
effective is hair testing in detecting drug usage?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
In
comparison to a urinalysis drug test, a cocaine
hair drug test or one for PCP, opiates, and /or methamphetamine have proven
hair analysis far more effective than urine testing in identifying low-level
drug use over an extended period of time since these are normally out of the
bloodstream in within a relatively short period of time. The detection of
marijuana is currently less sensitive than the other drugs in identifying low
level drug users, but is considered approximately equal to urinalysis in
identifying marijuana users. The detection period for hair is limited only
by the length of the hair sample and is approximately 90 days for a standard
screen.

Top |
|
Question
|
|
How do drugs get into hair?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
After a substance is ingested,
whether orally, smoked, snorted, or injected, metabolites are produced as the
drug is processed by the human body. As these metabolites circulate in the
blood stream, they enter and nourish the hair strand and are then inserted
into the hair strand. For more information on this process go

Question
|
|
What Is The
Minimum Time Period From Use That Can Be Accurately Evaluated?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
In
most situations in hair drug testing the minimum time period is approximately one week.

|
Question
|
|
Can A Positive
Result Be Caused By Contaminates In The Air Or Environment?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Maybe. The
analysis
procedures, if followed, reduces possibility of a positive result
through any external contamination. But it still can happen.

|
|
Question
|
|
Can
Treatments Or Coloring Effect The Results?
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Commonly used products (shampoos, conditioners, sprays,
mousses and gels) usually have no significant effect. In fact,
normal washing helps to remove any external presence.
