Which Hair Test Do You Need?
Pick the situation that matches yours. Each table shows recommended tests, SKUs, and prices.

Starting a New Job
Most employers ask for a urine test, but some specifically require hair. Confirm the panel name with your employer before ordering, since the wrong panel means paying for a second test.
Which Type of Test Do You Need?
The specimen type determines how far back the test can look. This is usually the most important decision you will make.
Hair
A longer look-back than urine, and the usual choice when a longer history is requested.
Look-back: About 90 days. From $169.
Commonly used for: Court, probation, custody, and some employers
Keep in mind: It will not show use in roughly the last week, and enough hair is needed to collect.
Nail
Uses fingernail or toenail clippings. An option when hair is short, treated, or unavailable.
Look-back: Typically longer than hair, varying with nail growth. From $199.
Commonly used for: The same situations as hair, when hair cannot be collected
Keep in mind: The window varies by individual and by substance.
Urine
The most widely used and lowest cost method, and required for all DOT testing.
Look-back: Roughly 1 to 3 days for most substances. From $75.
Commonly used for: Pre-employment, DOT, and random testing
Keep in mind: It shows recent use only.

Hair Follicle Drug Test Questions
A hair follicle drug test typically covers about 90 days. It will not show use in roughly the last week, because hair takes that long to grow out from the scalp. Actual detection varies with the substance, use pattern, and hair growth.
Hair is commonly requested in custody and probation matters because of its longer look-back, and some orders specify a panel size or substance list. Confirm the exact requirement with your attorney, officer, or the order itself before ordering, because a test that does not match may not be accepted.
Choose a hair test in the catalog and pay securely. Select a collection clinic at checkout, then take a photo ID and your registration confirmation to the clinic. Results are sent securely to the email address on your order.
Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp are the two large national laboratory networks and provide the collection clinics you visit. USDTL is a specialist forensic laboratory used for hair and nail testing and unusual substances. A Quest test must be collected at a Quest clinic and a Labcorp test at a Labcorp clinic.
Yes. Selecting a collection clinic is a required step at checkout. The finder shows only clinics that match the laboratory running your test. If you are unsure, call (615) 332-8838 before ordering.
Hair and nail results generally take three to five business days after collection. A result that screens non-negative goes through confirmation testing and Medical Review Officer review, which usually adds one to three days.
A nail test is an alternative when hair is unavailable, too short, or chemically treated. Nail testing typically looks back longer than hair, and the window varies with nail growth.
Hair drug tests start at $169 for a 4 panel test without THC, and 5 panel hair tests are $189. Larger panels cost more, and the catalog shows each price before checkout.
