How long do drugs stay in your hair?

Think of your hair like a timeline. Everything that's going on in your body is recorded by your hair as it grows, kinda like a type writer. If you do any drugs they will become part of that timeline. The only way to get the drugs out of your hair is to buy special shampoo or cut it off.


How far back can a hair test detect heroin?

How long does it take for marijuana to get out of hair?

From what I have read in pamphlets from companies attempting to sell kits to test hair for drugs, it remains in your hair as long as you have the hair that was growing in pouch-like structure below the skin called a hair follicle (What we see as hair is actually the hair shaft) at the time of ingestion of the drug. As you may know however, there are products that are capable of stripping your hair of the traces of drugs being tested for. Because the hair "stripping" kits actually work very effectively hair testing is rarely used. ( unlike all of the crap sold to supposedly mask drugs in urine)It is/was thought to be a better representative of a persons drug habits as continuous use of drugs would be represented by a positive result the entire length of hair, if it was intermittent use this would be represented by intermittent positives along the length of hair.

Once hair follicles are dormant and have not produced hair in some time, chances of hair growing back are very slim. Once follicles are dead, there is no reviving. However, if you are able to catch hair thinning before the hair follicles are no longer producing, you can help to keep the follicles stimulated. There are natural ways as well as pharmaceutical ways to help slow down hair loss.
