Hair Follicle Testing
What is Hair Follicle testing?
Hair follicle testing is an advanced and highly reliable method for detecting patterns of drug use over a long period of time. Unlike urine or oral fluid tests, which identify recent use, hair testing provides a window of detection that can extend up to 90 days or more, depending on the length of the hair sample collected.
Benefits of Hair Testing
Hair follicle testing is one of the most accurate and tamper-resistant methods of detecting drug use over an extended period. Unlike urine or oral fluid testing, which only identifies recent use, hair testing provides a detection window of up to 90 days or more, offering clear insight into long-term or repeated use. At North Queensland Drug Detection (NQDD), samples are collected safely and simply by certified technicians and analysed in accredited laboratories to ensure fully compliant, court-admissible results. Hair samples cannot be substituted or diluted, making them extremely difficult to adulterate, and results are not affected by external contaminants such as shampoos or treatments. While head hair is preferred, body hair can also be used, and the detection period is determined solely by the length of hair available. This makes hair testing an ideal choice for workplaces, family law matters, and any situation requiring reliable, legally defensible evidence of historical drug use.
