My apologies for late reponsiveness; I was out of town for a month or so and wasn't able to keep up with this thread as I usually do. With that being said here is feedback to each indvidual's post:

I do have a decent amount of hair on my body which I am going to shave, but I am curious. Is there any chance they would take hair from your eyebrows?

Not a chance at all. Not enough hair whatsoever to take sample from your eyebrows.

No; they will not have you wash your hair at the testing facility. If you put conditioner in your hair and let it air dry (~1 hour or so) you should not be able to tell that you have conditioner in your hair in which you did rinse out. If you still feel uncomfortable about this then just blow dry your hair after you apply conditioner to your hair (not having it rinsed out). This may make you feel more at ease.

Very causaul smoked, in fact not much before that. Had my hair cut twice (last one a week ago) since last use and now its at about 3/4". In theory, have I cut off most of the tainted hair? Or does it matter because they use a method similar to how they cut a tree and look at the history in a short amount of time? Im concerned there might still be tainted hair (especially when the look for the "other" metabites). I plan on getting started with a hair treatment since my test wont be for another week or so. The company the use is pschymedics. any suggestions if im ok and what treatment I should do.

You are in a very good position vs others who have posted here as you have not smoked for a while and have gotten your hair cut down to the minimal amount needed for the test; which is a good start. Stick with the method-just to be safe…start to shampoo with an aloe shampoo and follow the method exactly as described. I can assure you if you do this you will not fail; I’d bet my last dollar on it (contingent upon you following the method listed in the first post). Focus primarily on the bleach, hydrogen peroxide and VO5 Shampoo w/Aloe (or similar shampoo) as well as leaving the conditioner in. Make sure to clip body hair with clippers down to a 1 guard (1/8 inch approx; not shaved completely). I know this is an awful experience to go through; so just think positively…know that this system works (as so many have testified thus far in this thread alone) and try not to worry about it.

So here is sound testimony that this method works for all you doubtful, hesitant, disbelieving, unconvinced and otherwise suspicious of the method described in this thread. Congratulations Some Break...
Go and smoke a big fat blunt!

I think that this would (in theory) still be just as effective not using the zydot shampoo. If you read back some posts you will see that a particular person used the mixture method w/conditoner only (no Zydot or other detox shampoo's and he passed no problem.
To be clear the Detox shampoo's such as Zydot only MASK/COAT your hair folicles and DO NOT strip the drug metabolites out of your hair-they only provide a coating that masks each hair folicle. What one needs to do to beat the hair test it to STRIP the drug metabolites out of your hair permanently so as to not be detected. If I had to do it again (God forbid) I would stick to only using the mixture described and conditioner. I would also make sure to cut my hair just below 1.5 inches that these testing companies recommend in taking for samples.
Some may disagree but I have had just as many people PM me with results who did not use the detox shampoo as ones who did use it ~ both groups passed the hair test. Again...I have yet to have a person report to me that they have failed as a result of using the method described in this thread.

Any responses to my previous post?

Ok so I don't know how to reply to this...anyone with common sense would be applying this mixture in perhaps their bathroom-which has a ventilator. Plus the amount of bleach and hydrogen peroxide as well as shampoo is not nearly enough to send you to the hospital. I am not sure where you are going with this other than appear to be giving people who are going through a very difficult time more shit to worry about.
This is easy...just apply this mixture in an area that is ventilated. Besides who would do this in a closed area? In some sort of air tight room? lol. Cmon man, of the 40 or so people who have used this method (all of whom passed) this has NOT been an issue. Common sense would be the overriding factor here.
BTW: From your posts it almost apprears as if you may be an employee of a company who gives hair tests; or for one of the testing companies (Quest or Psyhmedics...lol). I say this only because you are putting so much emphasis on how this could be detrimental to someone's health. If this was the case, beleive me, it would have been reported on this forum as well as the others that this method is mentioned on. No one has reported anything to support this claim (of over 40 people; all who have passed mind you).
If your comments are in fact not ill willed and are of legitimate concern; then either do 1 of 2 things:
1) Use mixture in well ventilated area
or
2) Use another method

Thank-you so much for sharing your method!!!

I have had user both use the 3% (drug-store variety) as well as the 40-volume variety~12% (these for people with longer hair who refuse to cut their har short). I haven't had anyone (that I know of) use the industrial strength, nor would I recommend it. That is just way too potent.

Searching the internet, you can find all sorts of seeming contradictions on this issue. Some folks say that bleach and hydrogen peroxide will neutralize each other, forming common table salt, water, and oxygen. If true, would that make the solution worthless for our purposes? Worse yet other folks warn of creating hydrochloric acid, poisonous chlorine gas, other dangerous gases, and/or extreme heat, from this reaction.
Chemistry class was too many years ago for me! Can someone help us to understand the chemical equation and its implications? Thank-you.

Rob,
This is such a small amount to be worried about it being dangerous and/or hazardous to your health. I think the people providing sound testimony that they passed with no issues speaks volumes.
While it is true that some combinations of bleach and hydrogen peroxide will neutralize each other, forming common table salt, water, and oxygen; but the mixture referenced in this thread is not the correct amounts to make that happen; also by mixing it in shampoo all at once changes the whole chemistry process of that actually happening. The ingredients in the shampoo negate this from happening.
I really think you are trying to analyze this way too much. It is simple either use the method and have faith (as 40 other user did and passed) or don't use it. Try using the majjuco method (which has had just as many positive results as negative results). I would think that after 40 some uses, if this was a factor or either being hazardous or ineffective we would have seen it here on this post.
Have faith my friend
MORE FEEDBACK TO COME...
