How Far Back Can a Hair Follicle Drug Test See?

Many job seekers revamping their resumes and sending in applications are delighted when they finally receive a response from a prospective employer. But what comes next can be a shocking and unwelcome surprise—a hair drug test.
 
The reason for such surprise is that many unemployed persons are laboring under the misconception that drug testing these days is primarily—if not exclusively—done by way of urinalysis. This is not the case, however. More and more, employers of all kinds are turning to hair drug testing for prospective employees for a host of reasons.
 
Many argue that this type of drug testing is unfair—that if a person can pass a drug test with urine that shows drug use up to a month back, that should be good enough to prove that he or she is not engaging in illegal activity.
 
So how far back can a hair drug test see? In most instances, barring very serious testing done by employers such as the secret service, FBI, CIA, and others alike, most hair drug tests can detect drug use as far back as 60-90 days.
 
“I don’t think it’s fair. I mean, I failed a drug test based on something I did almost three months ago when I was super depressed about being out of work. It’s not like I was out killing people or hurting anyone, and I haven’t done anything that’s recent. But it cost me a chance at a good gig, makes me so sad,” says out-of-work mother, Theresa D’Angeles.
 
In instances like these, it’s important to know we have options to pass a hair follicle drug test. In fact, even if toxins that cause residues to build up in the hair are more recent than we’d care to admit, in most cases, a hair drug test kit complete with shampoo and conditioner to help detoxify hair before a sample is taken will work wonders.
 
For those pounding the pavement and working really hard at finding work, don’t let a hair sample that reveals what you might have been up to in October determine the job you are able to land today.
