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 smoked quite a bit in the past 90 days. 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!
