Oh Snap, I have to take a hair test and I'm freaking out

[missotk]

Hi everyone,

Iâ??ve browsed around a bit on the forums and am thrilled that so many people take the time to offer assistance to new posters. That being said, Iâ??d like to ask for some advice on a situation I am currently in. It would be greatly appreciated.

I will be interviewing for a state government position within the next few weeks. During that process, I will be subjected to a hair follicle drug test. Iâ??ve never been a regular pot smoker, in fact, I went 4 years without having any. Until, February of this year. The following are the dates and amounts that I have smoked.

February:
19th- 4 hits
20th- 2 hits
22nd-4 hits
24th-2 hits

March
17th-4 hits
18th-2 hits
22nd-4 hits
23rd-4 hits

April 2nd-3 hits

Forgive my ignorance and the fact that Iâ??m suffering from information overload. Iâ??ve read that thereâ??s a special shampoo that rids the hair of drug residue. Iâ??ve also read that bleaching my hair could work as well. My hair is very long, to the middle of my back. Iâ??ve already had a preliminary interview and am afraid that cutting it super-short will raise a red flag.

Can someone let me know what the most effective removal method is? Also, will this show up in my urine?

If it helps any, I am 5â??5â?� and weigh 135 pounds. I also dyed my hair a couple weeks ago.

Thank you in advance. Have a great day!

I may be wrong, but I have always heard that the tests are conducted on the root of the hair, so unless you go in bald.... they can trace it. as far as shampoo's... I have no clue. I know that Tea Tree shampoo's help rid your scalp, and hair of impurities. Hope this helps

I'm running late this morning so I don't have time to explain everything right now. Do an advanced search using my username under hair testing in the drug testing forum and you should find alot of the information you need. I'll be around later if you have more questions.

Right now I'm under the impression that you are female, correct me if I'm wrong. This being said... Most females like their hair and I'm sure because of your statement above that you won't want to cut your hair. Unfortunately this would be the easy way out, but you just wouldn't look right. I'm going to recommend Jerry G's bleach and redye method because I think your going to be over the testing cutoff threshold. This method is not 100% but is known to be very effective.

Jerry G's hair test strategy:

This method is not fool proof, but does have a very high(90%+) success rate.

THC metabolites are stored in the cortex of the hair strand. The cortex is protected by a layer of scales called the cuticle. To strip the metabolites from the cortex, the cuticle needs to be opened and penetrated.

Basics open the cuticle due to their PH levels above 7. Baking soda, bleach, and ammonia are all are strong basics that help to open the cuticle.

Shampoos like Toxin Wash and Zydot contain strong stripping agents, that combined with bleaching and redying yield a very high success rate in passing hair tests.

I think going to a pro is best for bleaching and redying, but it can be done at home.

The basic plan is to bleach and redye twice. Use a 40 volume peroxide bleach. Ignore the hair pros and sign a waiver if needed. I think washing out the bleach and the dye with a very strong shampoo like Toxin Wash works best. The second bleach and redye should be done at least 10 days after the last session of herb. If you have little or no clean time, the last bleach and redye should be done as close to the test as possible.

The day of the test make a thick baking soda paste and massage it into your hair. Then do a full TW treatment and then a full Zydot treatment. These two shampoos compliment each other.

Good luck, almost everyone who does this passes...

OTHER TREATMENTS--

I have no experience with them, but some people have had success with hair relaxers and perm treatments. These products contain propylene glycol and ammonia, which are proven to open the cuticle and reduce metabolites. I'd wash with TW or another good shampoo after treatment.

There is a common misconception that AloeRid Shampoo helps to pass a test. It does nothing. It is the discontinued AloeRid Treatment that contained a high propylene glycol content, and was effective.

There is a treatment program called the Macujo Method. It works for some people, especially those with thin light hair, or low levels of usage. It does not work well for heavy users with little clean time. It did not work at all for me.

Best of luck to all--Jerry G
