I have spent the past two weeks scouring these forums searching for clues and tips as to how or if I might possibly pass my Hair Follicle Test for a new job.

I'm a very light smoker with a high metabolism and a fairly healthy diet. I smoke almost daily, but usually only take 1 or 2 hits. I have been smoking for years and have shoulder length thick dark hair. I honestly thought I would pass the test, but was concerned that I wouldn't.

Ironically i had been using a Clarifiying shampoo for about a month around 2 months ago. I also tried Dr. bronner's shampoo a couple months ago, and baking soda and Apple Cider Vinegar because I was searching for ways to get my hair softer. I think these things may have helped. I also did a Plant based Detox about a month ago. Who knows what helped.

Anyway, here's what I did to prepare for the test once I know I had to take it. First, I stopped smoking around the last week of June, and I had my test July 15th.

July 11th I did a baking soda paste all over my hair and let it sit for about an hour. The I rinsed it with apple cider vinegar. Washed with Paul Mitchell Clarifying.

July 12th I attempted to bleach my hair with blonde hair dye. I didn't do this right, it just came out orangey. Yuck. Probably bought the wrong product.
After dying/bleaching I made a hair detox with Bentonite clay (used for removing toxins internally as well as topically - got it at a health food store), mixed with apple cider vinegar. I let this sit on my head (and did my face while I was at it... great facial!) - let it sit for about an hour, then rinsed with apple cider vinegar. Washed with Paul Mitchell Clarifying.

July 13th Dyed my hair back to dark brown and repeated the Bentonite Clay detox hair mask, rinsed with apple cider vinegar again and washed with Paul Mitchell Clarifying again.
July
July 14th Washed my hair with the Paul Mitchell Clarifying Shampoo.

Then i was terrified. I waited and waited. Test was Monday morning, said results would be in by Thursday or Friday, and got the call today (Thursday) saying everything was all set for me to start Monday. Now, I wish I could see those test results!!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND ADVICE!!!! Good luck to you all, I hope this helps!!!
