IneedHelpNow

I will start with the basics...early twenties...white male...170-180 lbs...moderately high metabolism....very dark brown hair about 1.5 inches long..very thick...pretty straight ...still have all my body hair.

I have been a very heavy smoker of some brick/middies for many years...probably havent missed 5 days in the last 5 years...bought by the lb. and smoked all day every day.
I quit about 8 days ago...only smoked a bowl or two a day of left over scraps/shake for the week or so before that...but I went through about a half Oz to a whole Oz a week for years before that...pretty much by myself...good times.

I have a first interview in one week, and I know I will get tested before I get the job...I thought I would only get the hair test if I failed the piss, but I just got paperwork to sign that looks like they will do hair before they hire...of course the dreaded psychemedics test.

I dont think the test will be next week...I think they will probably wait untill they offer me something and I accept...wont begin working untill end of semester (may)...so I am thinking I atleast have a week or two after the interview...but not sure...they could test me next week(two weeks clean).

I have read everything on this site I possibly can at the moment...I have been on it since 8 this morning...about 10 hours!
Absolutely the best site out there with this info...thought I was screwed before I found it...have more hope now.

I would like some opinions on my plan...esp from Jerry G (no discrimination to anyone elses opinion though....Jerry G just seems to know his stuff)

so my plan....
bleach with 30 or 40...highest I can find....and then dye...mixing dye with 10 bleach...I know jerry doesnt know, but does anyone else know how to mix this (amounts)...My gf will bleach, but she is not a pro who would know about this...how many times do you suggest? I am thinking atleast 3x, but can go more if it is suggested...does it matter if the bleaching is done just days before the test...or is it the same a week or two before.

Do I have to dye between bleachings or is that just cosmetic? Does it matter if the bleachings are spaced out or one after the other?

I do not plan to MAC as Jerry suggests one or the other, correct?...and I definately consider myself a heavy user...so I will bleach.

I also plan to use relaxer...is the "just for me for kids with no lye" the best...or should I try to find some for african american hair? when should I do this in my bleaching and dying process? should I use it every time I bleach? should I look for a striper to use as well? (not the kind with boobs)

when washing...is Paul Mitchell 3 the best to use?...or am I better off doing Zydot ultra clean the whole time?...I plan to Zydot the morning of the test unless the PM3 is better...I know I want something with Salicylic acid and propylene glycol if possible.

The day before the interview will be 2 weeks since I last smoked...so I plan to shave my body that day...so even if they do not test, my body hair should be clean when it grows back, correct? if I had time for it to grow back before the test, should I cut my head hair short and force them to take body hair? Do I need to worry about eyebrows?(like bleach and dye)

I plan to cut my hair before I go...#1 shave on the sides and about an inch on the top...Do you think I will have an issue with no body hair and only an inch on the top? It looks like an inch seems to be the cut off for them B*tching...this is pretty much my standard cut...maybe a little longer than usual on top.

What is your opinion on using a fructis wax leading up to and the day of the test?...It has propylene glycol in it...I didnt think it would be an issue if it pulled anything out of my hair the day of the test as they will wash good before testing....also, do I have to worry about changing to new pillows, shirts, etc. since they will wash the hair? do I need to get my suit dry cleaned? my hair is always pretty short (as described above)

Are there any other suggestions to go with this plan?

Sorry this is so long...just wanted everyone to get an idea of my situation and plan.

Thanks so much for the info...and all of the info already out there in the forums...more than helpful.

I am now off to look at the piss test info...just to hedge my bet in case they do that too...Guess I am not going to do my homework for tomorrow...this is much more important...then I will hit walmart to buy some stuff to grow my hair faster, any suggestions?(it grows pretty fast already)

Thank you all for the information already out there and thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give.
