Hair follicle drug test
A hair test shows drug use over about the last 90 days, much longer than a urine test. Employers use it for hiring.
What it checks for
- Marijuana (THC)
- Cocaine
- Amphetamines, including meth and ecstasy
- Opiates, such as codeine, morphine and heroin
- PCP
For $139, add expanded opiates: oxycodone, hydrocodone and other painkillers.
How it works
- Order and pay online.
- We email the person a link to pick a nearby lab site and time.
- Negative results are emailed to you. Any other result is reviewed by our staff first.
Hair vs urine
Urine shows the last few days. Hair shows months, and is hard to cheat. Urine is cheaper and faster: 5-panel urine test ($59).
