How Far Back Does a 5-Panel Hair Test Go?
About 90 days. Head hair grows about half an inch a month, so the 1.5-inch sample closest to the scalp holds about three months of history. Body hair grows more slowly, so it can show a longer history. Use from roughly the last week usually won't show yet, because that hair hasn't grown out far enough to collect.
Can a 5-Panel Hair Test Detect One-Time Use?
Sometimes, but not reliably. Hair tests are designed to show patterns of use over time. A single, small use may fall below the lab's detection level, while repeated use is much more likely to show. If you need to detect very recent or one-time use, a urine test is usually the better choice.
5-Panel or 10-Panel Hair Test: Which Do I Need?
The 5-panel is the standard for most employers and many court cases.
The 10-panel adds benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, and other drugs, for when a wider look is required. If you need prescription opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone covered, the Expanded 5-Panel adds them.
5-Panel Hair Follicle FAQ
Does a 5-panel hair test include fentanyl? No, fentanyl isn't part of the standard 5-panel. It can be added to any hair panel. Ask us!
Will employers and courts accept this 5-panel hair follicle test? Yes. The 5-panel is the standard hair follicle screen used for workplace drug testing, family court, custody documentation, and probation compliance. Results are processed by a SAMHSA-certified reference laboratory with chain-of-custody documentation suitable for legal and employer submission.
Can I do a hair follicle test if I have very short hair or shaved head? Yes. If you don't have enough head hair, we can use body hair. Body hair has a slightly longer detection window — up to 12 months in some cases — but follows the same testing process.
