Under the circumstances, these days feel like years.

yeah...they do. I was paranoid about it but it turned out ok.

At least we can look on the bright side: The testing companies aren't obligated to call the cops and the cops can't arrest you over a job-required (or job application) test

I found this "method" as I have been desparately trying to find something to help me pass this hair test. I will absolutely not try this method. When I looked up what will happen to my hair if I add these chemicals, I found this:
CLOROX® is a Chlorine Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) its chemical composition is very different than Hydrogen Peroxide that is used for bleaching hair. Chlorine Bleach attacks ANY kind of organic matter and destroys it. This is how it's bleaching action works. If you put it on your hair it will destroy the hair's protein structure as well as the pigment, causing it to disintegrate (Melt). Hydrogen Peroxide will also do this just not as quickly or as aggressively. It will decolorize pigment without destroying the protein structure of hair if it is at the correct concentration AND Mixed with other chemicals to control its action. That's why using pure hydrogen peroxide for bleaching is not a good idea.

P.S. Using ANYTHING on your skin or scalp that was not made for that use is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. You could end up with serious scalp damage / burns that could result in PERMANENT Hair Loss in those areas. As well as the risk of getting it in your eyes and causing BLINDNESS.

yadda yadda yadda.

whatever you want to do. Worked for me and lots of others. I'd use this method again if I needed to. Drive-by posters don't scare me that much.

For now.Funny you should say that.I had a friend who had done some really badass speed and started having chest pains.He went to the hospital and when they had figured out what he had done they called the cops and busted him for possession.Wild,huh.

Hospitals I can see doing that

But that would suck if the government used job drug testing (hiring or random screens) as a basis for arresting people.

I was being a paranoid ass-hole. I have my test today. I used the Idavisa method with the bleach/peroxide/shampoo. It didn't do a thing to my hair. I have really long dark curly hair. I hope this works!! This is the second time I have to do this test because the first time they said they didn't have enough hair to do the marijauana test. Wish me luck guys. I'll let you know what happens. I will find out in 3 business days.

Excuse me if my post doen't seem the best. I'm 45 minutes from my last bong toke and feeling sky high. Anyway, I have dark brown hair (near black), and I used the stronger mix (1 cup shampoo, 1tblsn both bleach/hydrogen peroxide) and didn't see much change at all. I did lighten up a very tiny amount but then again I was leaving it in longer and did more applications per shower than suggested.

I didn't use any of that and I did pass my test. It can't hurt to try.

just use daily, don't cut any corners, and try useing the Ida method at least one time.

sad but true

Hey guys/gals:
Just wanted to interject with some thoughts on the postings. I have failed my test using the IDA method, didn't deviate from the instructions, and doubled up on the treatment the night before, day of, don't have long hair etc etc.

This was a good job with great pay that i desperately needed right now. Really sucks, but I know I tried everything I could. The truth is that some people pass and some people don't, for a variety of reasons. I read about several other methods, Mac etc., but none seemed to have the success ratings that Ida did. Good luck to anybody that takes these things, you have a shot at passing, but I believe your body chemistry has a heck of a lot to do with whether you pass or fail, the methods can act as a catalyst to get you to that pass point, if you have the right genetic makeup.

And a word of advice, don't waste any money on those stupid shampoos--i bought 2 (won't even name the names) one was expensive one was not and obviously neither worked. If you are going to pass, you will have a 50/50 shot with IDA or another method, so don't waste the cash on those shampoos.

Yes guys, it is a coin toss either way. A very small % of people will come back and post if they failed. I just wanted to be realistic for anybody that reads this thread and wants to give it a try. Hopefully you will have better luck than me.

welp, tryed this method today after getting a 1 hour notice of having to give a hair sample. i'm a very light user of pot and in the last 2 weeks i have been taking a few hydros here and there. i upped the amount of bleach and peroxide a little. this is all i did, no cleaning shampoos or anything of the sort. they say i should know by friday if have the job. will post what i find out.

I was very worried about my pre-employment drug test for hair. I really wanted this job, and although I hadn't done a ton of drugs in the last 90 days, I only had 1 month to prepare. I stopped doing anythng, and really for the previous 90 days, all I really had to worry about was weed, but I had been smoking for about, I don't know, forever. I washed my hair with the aloe shampoo, hydrogen peroxide, and bleach for about two weeks. Each day I would shampoo, leave in for 5 minutes, then rinse and repeat.

I got surprised that they asked me to take the test about two weeks before I was expecting. That day, I immediately went and got a haircut to about 1 1/2 inches, went home, did the shampoo method three times, then washed with allclear which is a special hair drug test shampoo sold at my local head shop, then left in the regular hair conditioner to dry. Went and got my test, and four days later, came back clean, and got the job!!

I can't tell you what a relief it was, and I owe it all to this method. I think I told just about all of my friends what I was doing, I even told the girl cutting my hair, and everyone thought I was crazy. But it was right on, and I just wanted to say thank you. Good luck to anyone else who reads this.

I also used the IDA method precisely and have gotten a failing result on the hair follicle test. This was a dangerous procedure and will not attempt to appeal the results for I cannot put myself through this again. It was very harsh, and I am not saying it absolutely will not work, I just want to express the fact that there is an opportunity of failing even if devoutly following instructions given here. We will pick up the lab report tomorrow and try to figure out why the test was a fail.

Ok, I gave the clinic my hair sample on Thursday Sept 4 and I still haven't heard anything. I used the IDA method. I spoke to a rep who told me that my test was still pending. Should I be worried?

Tai-pan

Not necessarily. It could be that they are backed up and haven't gotten to it yet.

If they had even a thought that you are tainted, you'd know already.

I am not a regular smoker... I only smoked a couple of times in the past year. Before that it was about 7 years since I did anything. I just found out that I have to take a hair test for my dream job. Should I try this method? The last time I smoked was labor day weekend.... (28 days ago) I absolutely have to pass!

If it were me, I'd do it. I do not have first hand knowledge because I am not a user. The following are from various medical articles I have collected that show the odds are in your favor because you are a light user:

1). In contrast to other illicit drugs, hair analysis lacks the sensitivity to act as a detector for cannabinoids. THC and others have a very low incorporation rate into hair and THC is not highly bound to melanin, resulting in much lower concentrations in hair compared with other drugs.

2). In a relatively high number of cases, hair tested ‘‘negative'' but urine was ‘‘positive'' for cannabinoids in drug users. This phenomenon is indicative of the assays' failure or the assays' limited sensitivity to detect THC in the hair.

3). Studies indicate that head hair grows on average of 0.5 inches (1.3cm) per month. This growth rate varies slightly (estimated at ± 0.2 cm per month), consequently there is some (± 1 week) time variation possible. Head and body hair do not grow at the same rate; body hair grows at a much slower rate. It takes approximately 4-7 days from the time of drug use for the affected hair to grow above the scalp. Body hair growth rates are generally slower and cannot be utilized to determine a specific timeframe of drug use. Therefore any positive result from body hair would only correlate to drug use at some indeterminable time (generally within one year).

I took a hair test a few months back and tried the macujo method and i failed horribly
