Drug tests....Worried :(

I dont smoke weed anymore. I dont do any drugs. I shroomed like a few weeks ago and then I took ONE hit off a bowl about 2 weeks ago and thats it. Besides that I havent smoked in a few months. Im applying for this job I *REALLY* need and want and they give drug tests, they test the hair not the urine. I know drugs show up in hair a lot better and I think I just fucked myself by smoking, I dont even know if mushrooms show in hair do they?? I dont think they do....  Is there any hope for me? Im really sad now cuz I think Im gonna fail it.

You'll probably be fine. I'd be very supprised if you didn't pass it.
If you have long hair, maybe cut it a bit so it isn't so long.

shave your head. Drink alot of water (proper hydration encourages hair and nail growth) and maybe try some of that shampoo - it couldn't hurt right?

The only thing that drinking mass quantities of water would do is dilute your urine if they do a piss test. Sometimes if its too dilute they will reject the sample. I would say you're clean I passed a piss and blood test a week after smoking for the first time in a while. It all depends on your metabolism because THC "likes" fat and sticks to it so you have to metabolize it away to be clean. And as said above to pass a hair test you would have to SHAVE it not just a cut deff not worth it considering most places don't use the hair tests. IMHO you should be safe, good luck!

If I remember right, you were the one with pink hair/dreads.... I wonder if you were to keep bleaching and dying your hair if it would clean up the test results...??
Because it is in your hair, it seems that if you were to treat it with the harsh chemicals of bleaching and dying and such, it would strip the trace drugs out of yer~ locks...!? Right....?
I dunno~, just a thought since you seem to be open to the radical hair colors, (which is cool in my book...!) and you have time to go thru steps like this - plus it sounds like the job might be worth it...!? Just an idea I am throwing out there, I have no basis to back this up....
Good luck pinky....!

It is virtually impossible for drug users to avoid detection as hair can be used from any part of your body. The longer your hair, the further back your history of drug use can be traced. When THC metabolites are in the blood, they go through the blood vessels in the head, and get filtered through the hair. THC metabolites remain in the hair as a permanent record. Hair grows at an average rate of about half an inch every 30 days. The hair shaft can be cut into various lengths, allowing a "time line" analysis of drug consumption. Like a tape recording, a hair specimen can allow an analyst to construct a history of drug use. Typically they just use hair one and a half inches from the scalp, IE 3 months. When the sample reaches the lab it is cut into very small pieces, it is then mixed to create as homogeneous a sample as possible. It is likely 3 months worth of your hair will be analysed on a monthly or even 3 monthly basis. So there could be some hope. There is a cut off point to the amount detectable as positive. Since your one bong could be spread over one month, or even three months of analysed hair, maybe it will average out below the cut-off point. I don't know, I'm just speculating here. I don't want to give you false hopes. I know even very low levels of THC can be detected. Best off luck
