Hair Follicle Drug Test Detect Shampoo?

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by wysong92, May 18, 2013.

    So I found out I got hired for a lifeguarding job, but they are doing hair testing.  I'm not a regular user, but I did do a few hits off the vape (maybe 5 or 6) on 4/20 and a just one or two hits a few other times this semester. 
     
    I was told by the person hiring me that the test could detect 7-10 months of usage.
     
    It'll be a month since I smoked when I get my test in 4 days, and the guy at the head shop said I'd probably be fine.  But, just in case, I got some shampoo-- Omni cleansing shampoo.  Now I'm finding out that the person hiring me also said that the test could also detect if I've tried to use shampoo to cover up the fact that I used drugs.
     
    I know there are some shampoos that you leave in and they bind to the hair--I'm assuming those are the ones it can detect.  I also read somewhere that it can only detect the last thing you washed your hair with, so maybe if I do it a day early and be careful not to let my hair touch anything it's touched before, and then washed my hair regularly the day of I would be okay?  I'm having a hard time finding any info on this, but anything you guys know would be great. 
     
    I'm hesitant to use the shampoo if they're going to be able to tell I used it.  It is marketed to swimmers to get the chlorine out of their hair, however, and I am a swimmer who's in the water often.  It's a lifeguarding job!  Is that valid?
     
    Basically, does anyone know if the test can detect Omni, and can it detect it if I used it a day or two early? My test is in 4 days please help!
