    I have a question about drug tests. I have taken the standard urine test but the company im looking at wants to do a hair follicle test.. problem is im bald.... how much hair do they need? I shave my head every weekend. . I know i can pass any drug test with out doing any studying lol, but what will i have to do since i have no hair.. havent had hair for over 12 years and dont plan on letting it grow back in either.

    *and how much hair they need depends on how far back the test goes. my test went back 100 days, they took like 4 cm of hair.

    Which company/lab told you their hair follicle test goes back 100 days? Labs only certify (the amount of time the lab will testify to in a court of law) accuracy to 90 days. Perhaps the company provided you incorrect information? While theoretically a hair test CAN go back further, the lab will only certify to the 90 day mark.
