There are currently no shampoos that will rid your hair of THC, although some may mask it.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive substance in cannabis. THC can stay in your system for up to 30 days depending on the amount of cannabis smoked. This can be down both to the metabolism of the individual as well as the strength of the cannabis itself.
The substance, however, can stay in your hair for up to three years. This is because it attaches itself to your hair follicles, like most other drugs, as they leave the body. This is the reason that hair testing for drug use is becoming more and more common, as it is far more reliable than simple urine testing.
Hair testing is a process where hair specimens are tested for drug use. The length of a donor's hair is the only time limitation when detecting drug use by analysing hair. Hair testing offers the best window of detection and the collection of the hair is safe and simple, as well as being extremely cost effective when compared to other testing methods.
The method is donor friendly and is dependable and accurate. The only disadvantage is that very recent drug use may not be detected as it takes up to a week for the drug to try to leave the body and to attach itself to the hair follicles. If the donor has no hair on their head then body hair can be used in some circumstances.
Test reports are kept on file as required by law; negative test results are kept for one year and positive test results for three years. There are some home hair drug tests on the market. These can be used in conjunction with a shampoo that claims to rid the hair of toxins, but they may not be reliable.
