Hair Test
#24004277 - 01/12/17 02:22 PM (7 years, 18 days ago) |

I got an interview coming up for a job I really want to land. I'm not that concerned about the interview as I'm feeling pretty confident about that. What's worrying me is that when I google this company and drug test, I get a result that says they may hair test or urine test.
I discovered this maybe 2 months ago, and completely stopped smoking (Mostly on weekends, at most 3 times a week). The only other stuff I've occasionally done is benzos,amps, and K but very infrequently. If its a urine test, I'm not concerned at all, as I'll be completely clean after this interview, and I dont think I've used anything frequently enough for it to show. But the hair test concerns me. I've got some pretty bad anxiety so I usually take a super small amount of xan before the interview. Done this in the past and its always left my system by the time I've had to take the test.
But with the hair, does even single use remaining for weeks at a time? Does it matter where they take the hair from? I've got pretty long hair but its acceptable in the field I work in. I'll have been clear from cannabis for three months by the time I interview, but should I be concerned about the very minor amp and benzo use?
Any insight is greatly appreciated

Every job I have ever taken says "Hair or urine test" some say blood too.
I have only taken one drug test for a job in my life and it was urine, but she said if they wanted to do hair they would.
Some companies do hair though, and they are anti nicotine. But I have a friend that did the apple cider vinegar tek 6 times before a hair test and beat it.

Yeah it has probably changed somewhat in recent years, but hair tests are exorbitantly expensive even when compared to the many hundreds of dollars a company can bill for a GCMS urine analysis.

Maybe do the apple cider tek just to be sure. My good friend (bald) bought some weird shit to wash his body hair which turned his body hair all crispy. He also didn't smoke for a long time. It sucked because he still failed and didn't get the job. They took a few hairs from his legs, pubes, chest. This was for a job with Google

It's usually just jargon in the contract of what they can do.
It's like being on probation and getting hair tests. They can do it, but they won't unless they know for sure they aren't wasting their money.
If you are passing a urine test, spending almost 200 on a hair test is senseless to a business.
The person I know that did have to take a hair test was for child services.

The person I know that did the apple cider vinegar really did do it 6 times just to be safe. I don't blame him, no ones kids should be taken over marijuana.

Google came out of no where and just stabbed everyone who didn't pledge allegiance to heir agenda in the back. I hate them, yet still use them for everything.

benzos have a long half life and stay in your system for long periods of time as well as they are fat soluble, so keep that in mind. it can take a month for them to leave your system.
that's for urine though... if it's a hair test, and it probably wont be... you're fucked anyway.

I can't say for sure it's the same for all companies that do hair testing but when I had to get one I did a lot of research on it so I could pass it. They only test hair that would correspond to the last 90 days. Your hair grows at a pretty standard rate and they use that to determine how much of the hair is tested. Even if you have hair that is 2 years of growth and they take the whole strand, when they go to test it, they only cut off the portion that is "the last 90 days" and test that. As long as your use doesn't surpass the cut off limit in those 90 days, you should pass. The downside is I believe the hair testing has a lower cut off limit than urine testing meaning you will fail it easier. If you're gonna get hair tested, it's best to just abstain completely.

It's no guarantee, but you can try the "Macujo Method" and use that detox shampoo on top of it. There's another method where you bleach your hair twice, then dye it back the color it was, but that'll ruin your hair and again, it's not reliable. They're looking 90 days back, and your hair keeps a pretty good record of what you've done. The cutoff level for some of these drugs is really super low (especially marijuana), so even if you use the methods listed above or the shampoo, there's still no guarantee you'll pass the test.

They get to choose where they take the hair from, sometimes your arm, or your leg, or your chest. It's not always the head.
That's why bathing in the apple cider vinegar method will actually work if you follow the instructions and do it multiple times.
The person I speak of was a daily dabber, and smoked about 2 weeks prior to intensively following the tek. He passed with flying colors.

Even etizolam? I thought it had a relatively short half life? I've probably taken no more than 4-5mg of etizolam over the course of the last 3 months

Hmm, I'll look into this. The thing is, I have pretty nice long hair on the top of my head. I'd imagine vinegar will absolutely fuck my hair lol. But I suppose the job is more important to me

Anti nicotine...? Seems like there would be some law against a company firing you for a completely legal substance. Like discrimination or something.
Unless nicotine has some other purpose in hair testing that went completely over my head

The best way to pass drug tests is to stop doing drugs while going through testing periods, or getting prescription(s) to mask the illegal drugs you are going.
Or, just work for employers who don't drug test.

Just make a good impression during the interview have them not to have anything to worry about. Big chance that they wont even waste money testing you and give you the job.
