Hey all,

Im in England and have to do a hair strand test in about 9 days. I have had 16 clean days already and by the time of the test will have 25 bud free days.
Im small, about 5'2 and 42kg, i smoked about 2 to 3 grams per day every day up until 20th Sept 2010.

I have bleached and redyed my hair once already, and am going to do that again tonight. I have ordered some Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three which will be delivered tomorrow, as I read it gets chlorine and other nasties out of hair and is apparantly formulated to work from the inside out.

Is anything else worth trying? The Zydot and TW shampoos are expensive and I've heard a lot of people say they are nothing more than a money making scam and a swimmers shampoo would be better. I am also concerned about the lab being able to tell I have used TW or Zydot as I know they test for 'adulterants'. I will be able to excuse the bleach and dye in my hair because I am a girl and have always dyed my hair anyway - and have not been put under instruction not to do so before the test.

What do people mean by baking soda paste/soak? Also what is a tea soak? sorry to sound stupid but is it actually just a case of putting your hair in a bowl of tea??! If so, how is this meant to work?

Im really scared because there is so much hingeing on the results of this test, I have had to quit cold turkey and did not think that would have been at all possible for me, but now the choice has literally been taken away from me. To cut a long story short I'm probably gonna lose my daughter because I was a heavy smoker and it is beyond SS imagination that a smoker can be a good parent.

Im fucked. Im sorry for the negative attitude but I think I am fucked.
