Bleaching hair peroxide decreases the detectability of cocaine in user hair. Melanin–cocaine bonds are broken and cocaine is degraded into reaction products. Unbound cocaine and reaction products are washed out removing evidence of cocaine use.
Bleaching is purported to remove 40–80% of drug metabolites from a hair strand.
Excessive shampooing, some cosmetic treatments and the use of thermal straighteners may reduce drug concentrations in hair to varying degrees. Some detoxification shampoos are designed specifically to permanently reduce toxin levels in the hair strand so they fall below detectable levels in a laboratory hair test.
There is only one sure way to pass a hair follicle drug test, and that is to not use any drugs for the 90 days before you take the test.
Hair treatments: Hair treatments, including shampooing, coloring, relaxing, and bleaching the hair, can affect the concentration of drugs and drug metabolites detected during testing. Chemically treated hair may not be appropriate for testing, and untreated hair may need to be taken from another part of the body.
In general, the detection time is longest in hair, followed by urine and oral fluid. Drugs in hair may be detectable for approximately 90 days, whereas drugs in urine are generally detectable for one to seven days or longer in chronic users and in oral fluid from five to 48 hours.
Specificity of hair testing at standard laboratory cut-offs exceeded 90% for all drugs, but sensitivity of hair testing relative to self-report was low, identifying only 52.3% (127/243) of self-disclosed marijuana users, 65.2% (30/46) of cocaine users, 24.2% (8/33) of amphetamine users, and 2.9% (2/68) of opioid users.
Because drugs remain in strands of hair for months longer than they do in the bloodstream, drug tests based on hair are more robust across time and can provide evidence of drug use in the more distant past. Although neither test can reveal the quantity of drugs consumed, they can identify the drugs present.
Conclusion. I recommend using Toxin Rid Old Style Aloe Shampoo in combination with Zydot Ultra Clean as the most effective and reliable solution to pass a hair drug test. For light users, Zydot Ultra Clean alone can be a reliable option.
Ultra Clean shampoo by Zydot is one of the most widely used products among persons who want to pass a hair drug test. Unlike products such as Old Style Aloe Toxin Rid, this product is designed for same-day use.
The most effective way to pass a hair follicle test is to stay drug and alcohol-free. Abstaining from substance use is not only the best way to protect your career but also your health and safety. Keep your hair and scalp clean. Regularly washing your hair with a quality shampoo can help remove external contaminants.
Hair drug testing and bleached hair
The drug compounds, metabolites, will be inside the hair as it grows. Bleaching the hair can remove between 40-80% of metabolites found in the hair strand. If multiple bleaching attempts are made a participant can remove all drugs from their hair.
The standard 1.5-inch sample taken near the root provides a snapshot of drug use over the past 90 days. When the hair sample is taken from slower-growing body hair (such as from the armpit) instead of the scalp, the detection window widens to up to one year.
Hair testing is ineffective at detecting some substances, such as LSD, PCP, and Ecstasy. These medicines are not metabolised, so their presence in hair can be determined. Hair testing is, therefore, not a comprehensive method for detecting all possible drugs.
Before the appointment
Once testing is ordered, it is important that clients: Do not cut their hair.
If head hair is unavailable, body hair can be used as a sample for drug testing. This can be collected from the face, leg, arm, chest, back or underarm. However, unlike head hair, body hair can only be used to provide a drug use overview of up to 12 months.
Shampoo and condition your hair as usual and then pour the diluted apple cider vinegar on your hair and do not rinse. It is the easiest way to detox your hair. You can also detox your hair with sea salt. Mix two parts of sea salt with one part shampoo and apply it on your hair till it creates a good lather.

According to the results of the study, hair follicle drug testing correctly identified: 52.3 percent of people who reported recent cannabis use. 65.2 percent of people who reported recent cocaine use. 24.2 percent of people who reported recent amphetamine use.
There is no predetermined time for how long the detoxing process will last. The time you will detox is heavily dependent on how much damage and chemical processing your hair has been exposed to. I've seen people complete detoxing in a couple weeks, where as others have taken several months.
Previously unreported drugs that are associated with false positives are: atenolol, bisoprolol, sildenafil, tapentadol, and tramadol. An OTC nasal inhaler can cause a false positive as well. Amphetamine and methamphetamine are the most commonly reported false positive drugs.
