okay, i have been reading on here and been able to familiarize and start out a little bit of treatment. i am 6'0 240 lbs and smoked lightly 26 days before the test. before this last time, it was a few hits on very scattered days.. i would consider myself a light smoker during the period to be concerned with. my hair is just over an inch long. i shaved any necessary body hair to keep the focus on my head.--the shampoos that i have always used happen to contain propylene glycol as well as the hair gel that i have been using. 2 days ago i had a clarifying treatment and a relaxer done to my hair at the salon (my friend works there so she knew exactly what we were trying to do) the relaxer gel stuff is used for african americans to straighten their hair, its very potent and i could not leave it in for more than 3 minutes before it burnt like hell.. i now have chemical burns all over my scalp. i waited 24 hrs after just rinsing it out and washed my hair several times with paul mitchell 3. i have also in the past week been using neutrogena t sal with 3% salycitic sp*? acid. tomm when i wake up before i go, i will wash several times with pm3 and t sal then follow up with a cholesterol gel conditioner which contains propylene glycol.
from what i know, i am going to an orientation tomm at 1 oclock and during the orientation they will give us 1 hr to go to the testing facility and get the test done. it will be hair and urine.. i believe my urine to be clean (i drink alot)
my questions are... when i am sent to the testing facility right before the test, i can try to go to my friend in the salon and have anything done to my hair.. Any suggestions on what to do basically 1 hr before the test???ANYTHING??
2nd question... before i use pm3 the last time tomm, should i do a baking soda wash first??? i have not included this at all yet.
my hair seemed fried after the relaxer, and after the 24 wait then wash, i decided to use my hair gel with prop gly in it and my hair really doesnt feel too bad now. my scalp is trashed though, very burned. a

thank you for taking your time to read and help me out, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Expecting a response in a one hour time frame in the middle of the night (in the USA, at least) is setting some pretty high expectations.

Patience...

ok, so i have great news and at the orientation today, they said we have to go to take the hair test at one of 11 facilities by wednesday (2days away)..
so, i went straight back to the salon where my friend works and this is exactly what ive done so far.. With very light smoking about 28days prior to the test, do you think this will be sufficient??

Saturday--washed with cleansing shampoo, then used alternate action clarifying treatment (powder which is liquified into gel), followed with another cleansing shampoo... then applied revlon creme relaxer (super strength) which was left on for 24 hrs then washed out with paul mitchell 3

Monday(today)--washed with clensing and clarifying shampoos, bleached with 30 volume "blonde diensions", alternate action clrifying treatment while hair was bleached, washed with cleansing and clarifying shampoos, applied redken dye (mixture of 30 and 10 volume since they were out of 20), followed with more cleansing shampoo..

Tuesday(tomorrow)--i will be applying more dye 30+10 mixture of volume because i had fairly dark hair to begin and they didnt dye it dark enough the first time... Any suggestions on anything else to get done while im there??

now for the past week i have also been using the paul mitchell 3 and neutrogena t sal shampoos daily... for the months before that, i had been using shampoo and hair gel which contains propylene glycol.....And i would also like to mention that the original color of my hair was starting to lift out with all of the cleansing and clrifying treatments and shampoos prior to the dying.. it appeared that i had natural highlights so i figured that something was working good.. Does anyone know as far as the hair structure if the color pigment is "deeper" into the hair than the thc metabolites or not??

thanks alot, and please just let me know if you think i have done enough at this point for a pass since i really cant afford an expensive commercial zydot or other shampoo right now.. i am getting all of the salon treatment for free
