I just got a new position with a great company and they sent me to have a drug test - a hair drug test. I've never had one before, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
I should have known that it was not going to go well when the medical assistant that explained the test to me told me that this was her first one and she had just finished watching a DVD on how to conduct one.
She asked me to take the clip out of my hair because she needed to pull from the crown of my head. I was thinking pull...good...a couple strands..no biggie! After all, they can get DNA from 1 strand of hair.
The next thing I hear is the sound of scissors cutting a big chunk from the crown of my head. I'm not talking about 5 strands. There were probably 30 to 40 strands of hair in the clump that she cut out. I was speechless...First of all, my hair is thin enough and I need every piece I have!!!
So ladies, if you knew this was the protocol ahead of time (unlike me!), and it was a must for an incredible job, would you do it?
I think they can give you a drug test another way.

Sister, 30-40 hairs really isn't all that much in the grand scheme of the numbers of hair on your head, even if it is a bit thin. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you don't believe in getting your hair cut it's not like you went out and got the latest hairdoo or anything like that.

Me thinks she didn't know what she was doing.
However, I'm all for drug testing, and since kits can be bought to alter the testing of urine, there isn't one for hair, thus it's more reliable.
