Okay I haven't seen much about this topic. I have a HAIR drug test coming up soon (idk how soon.. probably in the next couple weeks) for pre-employment. This is my dream job! I stopped smoking when they told us at the interview that they do hair tests. That was 2 weeks ago. The two weeks before I stopped I was smoking about 3 times a week. And before that, I smoked 5-7 times a week (all heavy usage). I'm a female with long hair, and I cannot bleach my hair because of other commitments. I have however always gotten my hair professionally dyed, and I go every 5-6 weeks to have my roots done. I have my next appointment this Friday. Also, I blow dry my hair on hot everyday, use a curling iron a couple times a week, and straighten my hair a few times a week. Hopefully all of that heat that's been damaging my hair will help.
Here's the thing, I've done my research. I know without the bleaching, my chances are slim of passing in the next week or two. I can buy the shampoo, but I want to be sure I can pass this test. I have a few friends that look A LOT like me (hair color, eye color, height, facial features, etc) that are clean. My job would be out of state, and my test would be at a local LabCorp. I've read that I would only need a photo ID. If my friend could easily pass for me with the photo ID, and I'm SURE she would pass the test, would that be my best option? I haven't really seen anyone talk about this in the forums.. but I have seen a couple people say that they just barely glance at the ID to make sure it looks like you, and that's it. Could we get away with it?
