I have a hair drug test for a company I'm about to work for. My dumb ass took a puff on Saturday night at a party and now I'm a little worried. Is that enough to show up?

My hair isn't long though...its less than an inch. And is one puff really enough to show up? That shit cray.

Better start applying for other jobs...
I been clean for over a month and a half, but was still nervous when I took a UA for a potential job a few days ago. (Dabbing out all day eveyday for a year straight) still haven't got the results. But if I pass, I fly out to New Orleans March 1st for work! Wish me luck ISH

One time use of THC will not show up in hair
THC requires repeated use to show up however regular use builds up and then puts out at a constant high levels detox take s 1 to 2 months thus when you stop it doesn't .
Second time I've seen this through research. Can anyone confirm?

Shave and wax every part of your body. It's the only way.

Not sure. Drinking a ton of water and peeing constantly works for urine tests, there's gotta be some equivalent for hair tests. Grow your hair out, cut it, grow it out again, cut it again, repeat like 5 times. Should work.

I mean, that sh1t makes sense, seems logical, but idk.
How long were you clean before you took that one puff?
How much/often did u smoke before stopping to get clean?
-both of those factor into the equation I believe

The last time I smoked before Saturday was...the third week of December. And before that, over the summer. So as you can tell, I smoke pretty rarely. I also cut my hair every few weeks. I cut it about two weeks ago.

My cousin failed a hair drug test like this once, he thought he was taking a piss test. I think you are ****ed if you did it in 2 weeks or less.

I'm worried but at the same time everything I'm reading says that hair tests fail more often than not for one time use. I'm also reading that it typically takes 5-7 days for the hair to grow long enough for a positive to show up. I will be taking the test at 1015am tomorrow, which is approximately 110 hours after I took the one puff (roughly 4 1/2 days)
I'll let you guys know the results.

If you only took 1 puff and didn't actually smoke like half a blunt then you may be fine. Just remember to drink shitload of cranberry juice.

It was a vape pen...not a blunt. Does it make a difference?

don't head shops sell special shampoos?
I have no clue if they work or not. I really haven't heard of anyone I know having to take a hair test, piss tests are cheaper and more reliable.

The hair tests are in the follicle, there's really no way to change what the results will be. But if it's really as infrequently as you're saying, then maybe it won't be enough to show a true result. I'm sure there's some threshold before you fail.
That was a big thing in the Josh Gordon case. He's was fractions of fractions above what is already a really low threshold that the NFL and players union agreed on. Apparently you could fail that threshold just strolling through a smoky room.

Hair tests are supposed to be infallible; that's the point. He might be OK if it really was just a puff, but they're designed to be extraordinarily sensitive for both usage and time. I believe they go for up to 6 months assuming you didn't cut your hair.

Why would you do something like that? What made you think 1 puff was worth it?

To be completely honest it didn't even cross my mind that I was going to be tested soon...I was drinking already and she handed me the vape pen and I was just like, "f*ck it let's party!"
I take the test in 40 minutes. I'll let y'all know what happens.

I've never understood why people would smoke when they are looking for work, then get act puzzled when they find out they have to do a drop.

OP, just shave your head bald and force them to take a pee test that you can manipulate.

They can take hair from other parts of your body than your head if you shave it off.
You're basically ****ed on the hair test bro. Urine tests are a different story and they usually test at 50ng/ml for jobs which means if you had been clean and you slip up one time, you can test negative within 3-4 days (have personally confirmed this 3 times, like an idiot).
But with the hair it's pretty much game over. WTF kind of company uses a hair test? Is your employer the Department of Defense? I've had several tech/industry jobs and all of them did urine testing. Hair tests are much more expensive.

Alright so I did the test. They took hair off of my armpits with scissors because my beard and head hair are too short. The fact that the nurse used scissors kinda gives me some hope because its really hard to get all the way down to the root, and considering that I took one puff 4 days ago, I highly doubt my armpit hair grew fast enough to show anything. Anyway, I should be hearing back from them next Tuesday so I will bump the thread once I get the results.

A lot of big companies are moving from urine to hair testing. When I joined my current company (fortune 500) it was a urine test and recently found out they changed it to hair.

Body hair is better if you recently used unless they plucked it, but it can go back as far as a year. Have you gotten high on anything the past 9-12 months?

The only thing I've done is marijuana and I've only done it 3 times in the past 12 months.

Yeah. I cut my hair every 3-4 weeks though. I cut it to a 1 or 1 1/2.

Hair tests use up to 1.5 inches from the root, which equates to 90 days. The shorter your hair, the shorter the duration. My hair isn't even an inch long. Probably half an inch, if that. IF they do find any traces of marijuana, it'll be from that one puff last weekend, that's if my hair even grew fast enough for it to show up on the test.

You said yourself they took it from arm pit hair. Which grows much slower. Probably a years worth in an inch.

I don't think I'd want to work in a place that does hair drug tests. Unless I am a jumbo jet pilot or something where they want to entrust hundreds of lives to me, that seems a bit over-the-top.

Well yeah my original post was joking, in seriousness I think OP might be ****ed. I'm not super aware of the technical details of hair tests but from what I know the situation doesn't look great.

Which would be true if I never cut or trimmed my armpit hair....but I shave my armpit hair down every once in a while with clippers. I think I'll be fine.
