If you have taken drugs or drink alcohol excessively and you need to pass a drug follicle hair test, it’s unfortunately not possible to cheat the high tech system that “reads” your hair. Unless you plan to shave your head, which would give you away regardless, no bleach, hair dye or strange elixir is going to “clean” your hair.
The drug follicle hair testing, also known as hair alcohol testing is just like it sounds, drug follicle hair test will prove whether or not you have abused alcohol by using your hair follicles as a sample. Unlike urine alcohol testing, which can only prove whether or not you have abused alcohol within a very small time frame of about a week, drug follicle hair testing exposes everything you have consumed from food to absorbed chemicals as far back as 12 months ago, using specialized equipment that reveals all.
Previously, employers who used urine alcohol testing battled with significant dilution hindrances affecting the test results and the possibility of contamination or sometimes dealing with a person who made “a switch” of clean urine from someone else.
Using ethyl glucuronide, (EtG) alcohol testing technology, no other test in the world can give detailed results for hair alcohol testing. EtG alcohol testing allows a scientist to segment testing into months of abuse unlike previous FAEE, testing alone which only shows alcohol dependency. FAEE or fatty acid ethyl ethers is a patented forensic process which reveals markers that are only exposed if a person has consumed alcohol. The more alcohol consumed the greater amount of FAEE and EtG markers become present in the hair.
This remarkable hair alcohol test is approved in the United States and British courts as viable evidence for proving or disproving whether a person is an abuser of alcohol or is not.
Employers for all types of companies who perform drug testing, high school counselors and sports authorities are eager to use this new alcohol testing device to prove or disprove alcohol abuse over a long term basis of a person that was not previously possible before. Unfortunately, if you are a drug user or alcoholic, there isn’t much you can do to prevent the truth from being revealed. The bright side of things is that a hair alcohol test can help you measure your progress once you decide to get help- you will have the test to prove your sobriety.
