Home Hair Drug Test

Whether you have concerns about a child or family member using drugs, or just want a test for your own reassurance, our peace of mind hair drug test could be the right test for you.

A peace of mind hair drug test is done purely for your personal use. As the name suggests, this test can help lessen any worries you might have or enable you to seek support for a loved one who has been abusing drugs, but it cannot be used for legal purposes.

Your test kit will contain everything you need to collect your samples and return them to our laboratory. With our quick turnaround times, you will receive your results in just 7-10 business days.

If testing a child under 16 years of age, an adult with parental responsibility must give consent on behalf of the child being tested.

When a person consumes drugs, they are broken down by the liver, and some of the drug and/or its metabolites (breakdown products) are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Through the bloodstream, they then enter the hair follicle and become trapped in the innermost layer of the hair shaft. This makes it possible to detect them during analysis at our toxicology laboratory.

It is possible for drugs to remain detectable in a hair sample for up to 12 months, depending on the type/length of hair available for testing.

Hair drug testing can be used to test for the following substances:

A hair drug test does not detect alcohol, as it is designed to identify the use of drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines etc.

However, alcohol consumption can be detected using our Home Drug & Alcohol Nail Test.

A nail alcohol test looks for the presence of Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG), a specific long-term biomarker of ethanol (the intoxicating agent in alcoholic drinks) in fingernail clippings or toenail clippings.

This peace-of-mind hair drug test will tell you which, if any, drugs were detected in the sample submitted.

For head hair including hair collected from a hairbrush, the overview period is likely to be 3-6 months.

For body hair and facial hair, the overview period is likely to be up to 12 months.

The report will not tell you when the drugs were consumed, nor will it give you a specific overview period.

You should submit ONLY ONE type of hair sample from the following:

• Head hair
• Body hair
• Facial hair
• Hair collected from a hairbrush

If you’re submitting head hair, cut as close to the scalp as possible if you can. The amount of hair should be about the thickness of a phone charger cable when twisted together.

If you’re submitting body hair, it can be taken from any part of the body or from several different areas combined.

When loosely clumped together, the body hair, facial hair or hairbrush hair sample should be at least the size of a golf ball.

Full instructions for collecting your samples will be included in your kit.

Our scientists will check that we have enough hair to test when your samples arrive at our laboratory and a member of our team will contact you if there are any issues.
