I found out 7 days ago I have a hair test tomorrow. I've been trying the methods I've found and hope to pass. I appreciate the input from these forums, so I feel I need to post my procedure and results in case it may help someone else.

I weight 206 and have dark, somewhat curly coarse hair. I've used in the past 90 days about 10 Dilaudid, 40 10mg Lortabs, and 2 80mg OCs. I've been clean a week.

Day 1: ordered Zydot and used MAC once
Day 2: Used MAC method once
Day 3: Used MAC once. Used baking soda paste for 1 hr followed by Tide. Used Silken Child relaxer (20 min)
Day 4: Used MAC once, baking soda past mixed with household ammonia for as long as I could stand, then Tide. Used Ion clarifier treatment and ion shampoo.
Day 5: Used relaxer again. Used ammonia/baking soda paste followed by Tide, then Ion swimmers shampoo mixed with Aloe extract
Day 6: Just used swimmers shampoo.... head pretty crispy
Day 7: Washed with Tide mixed with clorox for 5 minutes 3 times. washed with half a bottle of peroxide and regular shampoo for 5 minutes. Sat around with head smelling like clorox for several hours. (hopefully chlorine is soaking into damaged hair and denaturing metabolites). Used Ion Clarifier then a One'N'Only Curl Remover for resistant hair. This one smelled strongly of ammonia where the relaxers did not. Washed with Ion shampoo mixed with aloe extract. I plan on using the Idavisa method before bed and the Zydot in the AM before test. I will use the bleach and peroxide seperately to begin with then together with shampoo just in case Idavisa has stumbled across some intermediate chemical reacting from the concoction that proves to do the trick.

My hair is currently fried. It feels like straw and is very hard to even brush without tons of conditioner. I am avoiding conditioner till the last minute to allow the acids and bases the best chance to leech metabolites from the cuticle, or at least get in there to denature the metabolites. I have some burned areas on my scalp. and one that constantly oozes. I learned pretty quickly to keep this stuff off of my neck and forehead... neosporin and hydrocortisone cream have almost cleared up early burns there from chemical contact. But my hair is still the same color and appears about the same when fixed with some gel. I would have done the bleach and redyes, but it's very important my efforts to circumvent the test aren't noticed by family and attorneys.

Oh, and I'll be hitting another NA meeting too. I can't help but think through all of this how easy it would be if I just didn't use the drugs.

Wish me luck!

My best wishes are fer yeah! I hope everything goes perfect for the effort you put in!

Sounds like more work than just staying clean.

Good luck.

I ahd a hair follicle test today. I have not smoked since 7/02/08. I weigh 220lbs and I am 6 ft tall. I used this stuff called Folli-kleen and a cleansing shampoo. I have also been working out. I only smoked once or twice a week before I quit in July. I washed my hair three times a day with dandruf shampoo before the test and used the cleansing shampoo a week ago as well. Any ideas of how I may have done. Oh yeah my hair is 1.25 inches long and black.

I gave a sample yesterday. The previous day I finished the curl remover then washed my hair in Clorox and Tide undiluted for 10 minutes. Also Naired and trimmed all body hair in case they wanted to use something other than hair on my head. Did Zydot treatment yesterday morning before test. They took clippings from a total of 5 spots on each side of the crown of my head. They said results take 2 to 3 days. They also said a NMO (?) would call me if anything was positive. Results will be mailed here as well. The lab is Quest Diagnostics and the test was a 5 panel hair test. I will post results as soon as I know anything.

Seems relaxers, curl remover, and a combination of acids, bases and bleach worked.

I was thinking ,what if they took eyebrow hair ?


But ,very glad you passed after all the time and effort you put into it.



are these random tests ?

Yes. They are random tests as requested by attorneys. I am in this situation since I am an addict and have done all the things that go along with that. I've been in recovery for 3 years with a five month relapse in the first year, and the latest lasting about 6 weeks. I'd like to say I'm going to stay clean forever. There's that peculiar twist in thinking though once one crosses the line into addiction.... almost like gravity. I've proven that in the absence of following a recovery plan daily I'll spiral towards my own demise. You'd think my knowing this, and the possible consequences I face would be enough, but it isn't. Toying with the chemicals in my brain truly have had permanent lasting effects.

But the good news is that there's daily things I can do that pretty much keep me clean and happy. Frying my head with chemicals and living in fear and embarressment remind me how important it is to do those things. I probably needed this. I'm back in NA with a new sponsor working on steps again. How sweet the freedom is.

Oh yeah, I trimmed my eyebrows too.
