First let me say that I am sorry for the long post. I have read many of the threads from results and from several modrs (Jerryg, 1toke....). I hope I post this correctly since I am short on time.

First my stats, 48 yrs old 5-4 175lbs low motabl. mostly gray and receeding hair. Getting cut today from 3 in to 1.5 or so. Lots of body hair but always keep cut a 1/4 inch. "everywhere" for my wife. (thats how I have stayed married for 25+ yrs)

I have been a life time heavy(every day 3x or more per) user with a few short periods of abstinence, trying to go clean or for job apps. Last 10 years or so only the best of good stuff. Did past a hair test 4 yrs ago(last abstinence period) after only staying clean for 90 days and hair cuts and clarifying shampoos. But I see from this website that things have changed alot since then.

I take prescibs for high blood pressure daily(benicar,coreg,folbee,80m asprin)
also daily
phentermine
3 or 4 times a week
hydroco and xanex
OTC daily per phys orders
Cent A2Z vita and glucosamine and vit e tabs

I thought I was going to have 90 days to stay clean but found out 5 days ago that did not. I have been clean for 35 days now and test is in 3 days.

I tried to read as much as I could but still had some questions(that I am sure if I had more time I could have found somewhere on this sight) so forgive me if ask a "bad" question.


Phew... now for my ???'s

1. Dont know if I can do the dye treatment BUT if I did what does number 30 refer too? My wife has Feria Extra Blond kit with ceteareth 30 in the developer and oleth 30 in the cream?

2. The Macujo thing. Sometime posters say apple cider vinegar and some say vinegar. What KIND of vinegar is best?

3. How do you use the baking soda method? Do make a paste or do you buy it?

4. I dont know what kind of products I have available her e in Las Vegas but will later today after researching. I do have Aloe Rid Shampoo and Wife is bringing home Paul Mitchell 3 shampoo. Will try to locate Zydot. Any other suggestions?

5. I now have the rest of today Mon 10-22 all of tommorrow as days off, when not working on Wed and Test is Thur morning 10-25 10am pst to emplement a plan of action. On some threads its says to do one or the other method not both and others seem to have the whole kitchen sink.
What method does one try?

Also will be looking for products with "TEA Lauryl Sulfate" and "Propylene Glycol" in them

I will post my results.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
