    Ok, who knows about these things?


    Are they wicked accurate?



    More importantly, is there any way around them besides waiting it out???

    O dear. I believe hey're deadly accurate. And, I doubt there's a way to beat them.


    Hair grows about a half inch per month. The hair shaft shows drugs you've ingested in layers, like the circles in a tree trunk. So, they show how much, how often and how long ago. Uh....ever considered shaving your head? Now might be a good time! Tell em...you just finished chemo...?


    Seriously, I dont think there's a way to beat the test. Is it for your job?

    I dont know but from what I have read the folicle test will go way back further on time than the urine test. Remains in the hair longer. As far as how long I dont know.


    I am not sure but think a lot of employers dont use the folicle test because of the cost involved verses the urine test.

    They make shampoo's that are supposed to work? The same company that makes Quickfix(which I have used many times) makes the shampoos.


    Good luck. Keep us posted. b4e..:bong-2:

    try the shampoo...but i dont know how you can test to see if it works...with a urine test...when you drink the solution to prevent detection and you can just take a test that you can buy for about 10 bucks...


    not sure how to test for the folicle test...


    good luck

    I'll second everything everyone else said. Hair follicle tests are one of the most accurate drug tests possible. They're not very common because they are so expensive. If it's regarding a job it must be a serious one. Your best bet is the shampoo.

    sorry GTWT


    all ive heard is the sampoos are NOT very reliable. the follicle test is very accurate. like most have said the cost is very expensive but it does show frequency and amount. they will be able to tell if you are an occasional on vacation toker or a regular user. they will pull the hairs from anywhere and can be a tiny hair. ive had friends who shaved their head and body even pubes for follicle testing and had the hairs literally pulled aout of their ass crack. now this was for a serious matter not pre employment. and also had a friend who shaved and they pulled stubble seeing the test is done on the follicle not the strand. i wish much luck and success trying to get around this.

    I do know someone that had to have a follicle test for employment at a hospital. She's a nurse. She was a pretty regular smoker and she used the shampoo and it worked for her. I was skeptical at the time, but to my surprise and her relief, it did work. I don't remember what brand it was, but I do remember it very specific instructions and she followed them to the tee without deviation.


    I get all my drug test supplies at www.cleartest.com


    Good luck. :thumbs-up: :passsit:

    from what i understand it is a 90 day standard...but they can test farther back...


    Hair follicle testing is far more sensitive to meth, opiates and cocaine than tradtional urinal tests..


    I heard about Shampoos but not sure on results...

    LOL, it's actually for mr. thumb. i already passed my test for my new job. he has a very lucrative job offer in another state, but the guy told him there's a follicle test. he was cool about it, mr thumb was cool about it and honest, and the guy told him his best advice was to wait 6 months and then come back. i guess they really like him and want him, so he says he'll still have the job. i've worked for the govt most of my adult life, and they only do a piss test, i don't know what kind of place would want to shell out the dough for a follicle test, or what kind of flippin work they do. IDK.....


    He's cool with waiting, wants to start a small grow in the meantime, but if he could start tomorrow, he would, they're offering a lot of $$$$.


    Thanks for the input guys, i guess he'll just be waiting this one out. growing in the meantime!!!:thumbs-up: :thumbs-up: :thumbs-up:
