Hi,

I was offered the "dream" job 3 weeks ago--light smoker a couple of hits on the weekend. Never had to test before so was completely unprepared for the paragraph in my offer letter "subject to drug testing". Quit completely--took the urine test--came back "negative, dilluted", so now I had to take a hair test yesterday. I have very dark hair which color every 4 weeks due to gray--had it colored last week before I found out I had to do a hair test. So I have been reading this thread--I detoxed by washing 4 times with Aveda detoxifying shampoo 3 days before the test. Than the day before, I soaked my hair with white vinegar, put the Clean & Klear on and put a plastic cap on my head and blew dry for 15 minutes, than washed with Tide, than washed with Aloe Rid. Day of the test, repeated that process. Than I went to my hairdresser and told her what I needed to do--she bleached my hair as long as she could with a combination of Paul Mitchell and Aveda--she used the Mitchell because Aveda is so natural that we were not sure it was strong enough--my scalp burned like hell and I thought I was going to pass out at one point. After bleached, she washed my hair with AFterburner massaging it in for 15 minutes. Than she trimmed it, and colored it and washed it again with Afterburner. Than I went home and doused it with vinegar again and washed it with Afterburner and went in for the test.

I can't take this anymore, the waiting is killing me but this site has been a blessing for support. Keep up the good work.
