Will Hair Follicle Test Taken A Month After Smoking Methamphetamine Be Clean?

I used meth three times very lightly over the pass 3 months. I might have to take a hair follicle test in a bout a month. Will I be clean? Also, does the traces of meth continuesly show up on your growing hair until it finally clears out? Say I used meth 2 weeks ago, how long will it be for all traces of the drug to clear your body and deposit on my hair? Here s another question, if I used 1 month befor a test, and I cut my hair a day before. Will the new hair continue to show traces of meth?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Unlike the urine test, where the presence of Methamphetamine can be detected only up to a few days, hair testing can show presence of this drug up to about 90 days. Cutting of your hair will not prevent your hair follicles to show the presence of this drug.

Therefore, the drug used about 2 weeks or a month ago will definitely show its presence in hair test. Also, if the hair on scalp are not present or scalp is shaved, then the hairs taken from other site like eye brows, pubic hair, under arm hair or hair from any other site of body will give the similar results.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
