Everything is shaved except my legs. So I will have to let it grow before I can have the test done.

What I don't quite understand though is this: Say you smoke today and about 3-4 days later the contaminants are done being deposited into your hair, how long would you have to wait to shave the actual contaminated hair off?
I ask because if you have ever plucked a hair from the root they are quite long (sometimes 1/8"), and I would think you would have to wait for that hair to become exposed outside on the surface of the skin before shaving in order to actually get rid of the contaminated hair.

Am I right? If I am right how long would you have to wait to shave that? Would you have to wait 18 days after smoking it?
bash3148 Reviewed by bash3148 on . Questions about hair testing. I rarely smoke, last time before the 5th of Dec was over 6 months ago. While on vacation I took 2 hits from a joint. Prior to vacation the place I was thinking about applying at was not hiring, when I got back from vacation I found out that they are getting ready to hire for possibly the next several months. About ten yrs ago I worked at this place as a student and passed the hair test because I stayed clean for 90days. I just hate to wait 90days to put in a resume now, which would be Rating: 5
