If your current or potential job is dependent upon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/how-to-pass-a-drug-test-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">passing a drug test<\/a>, it can be a nerve-wracking experience waiting for the results\u2014even when you think you\u2019ve put yourself in a position to pass!<\/p>\n<p>Up until recently, it\u2019s been common practice for most testing to be done through urine analysis; however, many employers are beginning to move toward hair follicle testing. This shift in testing poses unique obstacles for those that are looking to detox their body, but, thankfully, there are reliable options for hair follicle tests like detox shampoos to help you meet those obstacles head-on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-does-thc-get-into-your-hair\">How does THC get into your hair?<\/h2>\n<p>When you consume cannabis, it gets absorbed into your bloodstream. Since it\u2019s the blood vessels within your hair follicles that feed hair growth, any substance that is found in your blood will make its way into your hair follicles. These substances are only found in trace amounts, but that is exactly what a hair follicle test is looking for!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left\">\n<p>Any substance that is found in your blood will make its way into your hair follicles.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note: This applies to all hair follicles on your body. THC can and will be detected in hair follicles from your arms, legs, or other areas of the body.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a hair follicle test?<\/h2>\n<p>A hair follicle drug test is typically performed at a lab or in a hospital setting and involves collecting 100-120 hairs from the crown of your head. If you don\u2019t have a lot of hair on your head, they\u2019ll collect body hair as a substitute. If this is already sounding like a pretty unpleasant process, trust us: Worrying about the potential of a failed test won\u2019t add to the fun.<\/p>\n<p>Once the hair is collected, it\u2019s stored, sealed, and sent for analysis. These tests look for a number of drugs, including cannabis\u2014each substance having a specific level that the test uses to determine if the sample is positive or negative.<\/p>\n<p>For example, cannabis has a cut off level at 1 pg\/mg, whereas opioids have a cut off level at 500 pg\/mg. Any sample that goes over these levels will produce a positive result on a hair follicle test.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that hair follicle tests are actually two tests. The first test is broader and designed to eliminate the substances that are not found in the sample. The second test is more specific. Through chromatography-mass spectrometry, the test identifies the exact substances found in the sample that have exceeded the cut off levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How long does cannabis stay in your hair?<\/h2>\n<p>Cannabis can be detected in your hair for as long as 90 days since you last partook. Hair follicle tests are similar to urine tests in that they are both looking for the presence of substances in your body. The big difference between the two tests is that urine analysis can detect what substances have been in your system over the past few days and weeks, whereas the hair follicle test can detect substances that have been used as long as 90 days ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right\">\n<p>Cannabis can be detected in your hair for as long as 90 days since you last partook.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that hair follicle tests will only find substances that have been consumed more than five to seven days before the test. Hair growth takes time, and the test will only accurately measure substances that have had enough time to register in the blood feeding hair growth. So while hair follicle tests do an excellent job of identifying substances that have been in your system within a greater period of time, they cannot identify substances that have been consumed during the week leading up to the test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sweat and sebum from the scalp can have an effect on hair samples; however, it is standard for testing facilities to remove all contaminants from hair samples to avoid false positives. In other words, there is very little you can do to contest a positive result, so it\u2019s best to make sure you do everything in your power to get a negative test!<\/p>\n<h2>Ways to pass a hair follicle test<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to figuring out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/how-to-pass-a-drug-test-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">how to pass a drug test<\/a>, everyone seems to have a secret home remedy that they swear by. However, testing technology has drastically improved throughout the years. Most home remedies no longer have the ability to produce desired results, if they ever did at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Home remedies to avoid<\/h2>\n<p>For beating a hair follicle test, some people choose to shave off their hair\u2014attempting to make it impossible for a tester to collect a sample. But in this case, testers can simply move to collect body hair, so don\u2019t be fooled into shaving in vain.<\/p>\n<p>Other people have attempted to bleach their hair as a way to confuse the test. Not only will this destroy your hair, it also has a low success rate. If your job is dependent on a clean test, it\u2019s best to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/do-niacin-vinegar-or-cranberry-cleanse-your-system-of-weed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">avoid these home remedies<\/a> and use something with a proven track record that\u2019s specifically designed to get you a negative result.<\/p>\n<h2>Using detox shampoo<\/h2>\n<p>Detox shampoos are a much more reliable way to ensure that you pass your hair follicle test. The process involves using a trusted detox shampoo to repeatedly scrub your scalp and body hair to get rid of all unwanted toxins prior to your test date. When looking for reliable options, make sure you use a detox shampoo from a company that has decades of experience creating products to help people successfully meet their detox needs.<\/p>\n<p>PassYourTest.com offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/passyourtest.com\/product\/folli-clean-shampoo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">detox shampoo<\/a> that comes with their 100% satisfaction guarantee to make sure you accomplish your cleansing goals.
