Surprise hair test

This morning I went for pre-employment drug screening. Upon arrival I was asked to go pee in the cup. Then after giving the nurse the sample she told me phase 2 she needed to cut my hair. This was completely unexpected so I was not prepared at all.

I smoked daily for months, then upon hearing from the company about an interview I stopped. It was exactly 28 days between my last smoke and the test this morning. I am about 5'10, was about 175 when receiving the call for an interview. I drank water daily, exercised, and lost about 15 pounds in that month so I am in decent shape. Daily I take a multivitamin, vitamin D, and Acai extract (lots of antioxidants and increased metabolism) . During this month I also added niacin daily. Therefore I have few worries about the urine test. However, I am very scared about the hair test.

I do wash my hair daily, and the shampoo I use is a natural mint green tea aloe shampoo sold at Trader Joes stores. I have no idea how much aloe is in it, and I do not let it soak on my head for long, but it is a good thorough wash daily. Also, my hair is only about 1.5 inches long right now, and like I said I haven't smoked for a month. Should I be entirely hopeless or is there a chance?

Thanks!
