Latest Addiction Recovery Tip

most people spend hours in front of the mirror fixing their

hair. Aside from making each one of us look good, the hair has

yet another function you might be interested in. In today's

modern world, there comes another way of detecting drugs in

individuals. Yes, using the hair! And it is actually the most

accurate method of detecting drug abuse in individuals. It can

detect drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, opiates and the like.

It is known as the hair drug test.





1. Ten Times More Effective Than Urine Drug Tests





With this kind of modern and convenient method, it is now easy

for schools and even employers to test students and employees to

determine whether or not they have drugs in their system. Hair

drug tests come in handy kits with instructions on how to get

hair specimens, then send it to the laboratory for evaluation.





2. How It Works:





According to studies, when a person takes in drugs, as with any

other substances, such as food, medicines, or drinks, it mixes

with our blood, and as we all know, the blood nourishes all

parts of our body, including the head. Hints of these chemicals

then become trapped or filtered through the hair follicle, thus,

as the hair grows, these chemicals are stored in the hair.

Interestingly, these chemicals become a part of the hair itself.





- Very accurate - Chemicals in the hair can be traced - Traces

not just drugs in system at the time, but over the past three

months! - A two-inch sample can give that persons drug history

for a four month period of time - Hair drug testing is much more



costly than urine testing - Hair testing is now widely used due

to it's effectiveness





3. How It's Done:





- A hair drug test involves cutting a minimum of 50 strands of

hair - Hair must be cut approximately one and a half inches from

the scalp - Hair is then sent to the drug testing laboratory -

The hair is actually screened and reviewed, then liquified for

final testing - There are lots of hair drug testing kits

available today





4. Hair Drug Testing Kits





Hair drug testing kits, though widely available, are not

affordable. Prices range from $50-$69 for a complete kit.

Laboratory processing fees are usually included when you make

your purchase.





One point of view to consider tough - a positive test result

does not automatically mean the person uses illegal drugs. In

fact, positive results are sometimes triggered by other legal

substances. One maybe is under medication or taking maintenance

medications, or over-the-counter medications. It is wise

therefore, that when the confirmation test comes back positive,

it is important for a doctor, nurse, or other specialist to

review the results and determine if illegal drugs are indeed the

guilty party.





5. Beating Hair Drug Tests Is Impossible







Now other smart individuals are finding ways and means to beat

the hair drug tests. Some say one can pass it through a kind of

shampoo, especially from companies that claim that their shampoo

cleans off all the toxins in the hair, but they are wrong. These

toxins are already part of the hair follicle's structure,

cleaning it will literally mean taking it all off. The hair is

like a plant. If a plant grows in a toxic environment, it will

absorb toxins and toxins will become part of its structure - no

amount of shampoo will change that.





As we cannot clean off toxins in the hair, can we mask it by

bleach or dyeing one's hair? Maybe for a time, yes we can. But

then, our skin is made up of fatty tissues. These fatty tissues

are responsible for storing toxins in the body. When our body

sweats, it gives off skin oil and release toxins, and these will

be touched and be absorbed by the hair. It's like a cycle. The

masked hair will then be contaminated once more.





Others shave off their hair, but sad to say, toxins don't leave

the body anytime soon. If you are being kept in confinement,

your hair will slowly grow back in, and your drug use history

will come back for all to see with it.
