The important question is how MUCH you used. Occasional users have a shot at passing hair screens. Daily/Heavy users, not likely to happen unless you are one of the few that test false negative. The scientist in me needs to point out that correlation does not equal causation. Just because someone dyed their hair does not mean that is why they passed the test. They passed the test for one of two reasons: 1. The tested metabolite did not meet the laboratory standard for positive 2. They enjoyed the luxury of a false negative due to test failure. I have performed innumerable urine, serum, and hair screens over the years and I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is no current method for circumventing the hair test. You can get around urine and serum tests when weak testing methodology is in place, but hair strand testing is the "gold standard" for a reason. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Some labs use higher parameters than others depending on testing method employed so you could slip by in this scenario if you are an occasional user or if the employer cheaped out on testing. If the positive will not hurt your chances for future employment with other companies then you have nothing to lose by testing. If you really want to work for this company, why not pay for a test at your docs office first? At least you have the option of staying clean and getting employed there at a later date if you happen to fail.
Just my .02

I can only speak from experience and I can tell you that I passed every hair folicle test I have taken, and I used the shampoo for all of them. 2 of my co-workers passed the last one along with me, and they also used the shampoo.
Although it's possible that the lab technician was completely incompetent (Lab-Corps) and mis-tested all of the samples, it's more likely that the shampoo masking agent worked as advertised.
It's awfully arrogant to make a statement like "with absolute certainty" that there is no way to beat the test when there are entire business models devoted to beating the test and guarenting customers that their product will beat the test; many of the customers have beaten the test, several times.
Yet the "arrogance"of that statement in no way negates its truthfulness. Funny how that works. There are thousands of successful "snake-oil" businesses in this country based on nothing more than weak correlations, pseudo-science, and outright lies. The success of a lot of these companies is based on individuals like you and your buddies who first assume you will fail without it and when you pass- "Well, praise jeebus! It worked!
I was offered a job today and i was told that they do hair follicle drug testing. I was told that anything that i consumed drug wise within the last 6 months would show up.
Is there anyway of passing this?
During the last 6 months, i was bitten by a brown recluse, had to go to surgery. was prescribed vicodin, given morphine and prementhazyn.
I also smoked weed and popped some x within the last 6 months
When I failed a test I got a call from the doctor. He basically said I had tested positive, and that if I was taking any medication which would cause it he could get my doctors name, give them a call, and turn the positive into a negative. Check the form you signed, chances are it would still be illegal for a doctor to violate your privacy by discussing medication you are prescribed with your employer.
