Tips, Tricks, and Facts to Help You Pass a Hair Drug Test with Mike’s Macujo Method

  • Important: Do not use your old brush, comb, or pick. Purchase new ones when possible. Otherwise, boil the old items in water and sanitize them with alcohol. I have seen customers fail after reusing unclean brushes and combs, so please take this tip seriously.
  • Towel-dry your hair between each step.
  • Every time you shampoo using our system, you permanently lower the levels in your hair.
  • If you were a daily or heavy user, you must shampoo at least 10 times.
  • THC – Heavy users should complete Mike’s Macujo Method 8 to 20 times.
  • Opiates – Heavy users should complete Mike’s Macujo Method 10 to 20 times.
  • Cocaine, meth, and ecstasy – These drugs are among the hardest to remove. The number of washes depends on your usage during the previous four months. As a general example, complete Mike’s Macujo Method one to three times per day for each time you used. If you used any of these substances up to five times, complete 5 to 15 washes. If you were a chronic user, we also recommend bleaching and redyeing your hair.
  • You can never be too clean. When necessary, complete Mike’s Macujo Method more than once per day. Treat all steps as one complete system, and wait at least four hours between cycles to help avoid rashes or irritation. If you have more than three weeks before your test, you do not need to complete one to three cycles per day; you may complete one cycle per day or every other day.
  • Use Mike’s Macujo Required Washes Calculator to determine how many washes are recommended for your situation.
  • Use a clean towel every day that you clean your hair with Mike’s Macujo Method.
  • If you have long hair and previously smoked in your car, place a clean towel over the headrest so your clean hair does not touch the seat and become exposed to secondhand smoke.

Important Information About Hair Drug Testing

  • How toxins remain in hair: In this section, “toxins” means any illicit drug or prescription medication that could cause you to fail a hair test. Remember that every week you remain clean provides approximately another 1/8 inch of clean growth. Therefore, it is in your best interest to delay the test as much as possible so the balance shifts from contaminated hair to clean hair.
  • Keep in mind that the first 1/8 inch of hair is the root below the scalp.
  • A minimum of 5/8 inch of hair is required for the test. Claims that every hair test can look back exactly 90 days or six months are not accurate; the timeframe depends on the length of the hair collected. As a general guide, 1/2 inch of hair represents approximately 30 days, and 1 inch represents approximately 60 days. Men may be able to cut their hair to 5/8 inch, while women may be required to provide 1 1/2 inches, which can provide a lookback period of approximately 90 days.
  • For men: If your hair is longer than 5/8 inch and is mostly clean, do not get a haircut. Cut it to 5/8 inch only if you were a daily user. If you were a very light user in the past, cutting your hair to 5/8 inch may hurt your chances because you would remove mostly clean growth. Leaving the longer, clean hair may help dilute the toxin levels when the laboratory cuts and processes the sample. This can be confusing, so please call me if you have questions.
  • Every time you shampoo using Mike’s Macujo Method, you permanently lower the levels in your hair. If you fail your test, it may mean that you did not complete enough washes.

Let the hair on your head grow. Do not shave or trim it.

Men With Shaved Hair on Their Heads — Very Important

  • If you shave the hair on your head and expect to take a hair test soon, immediately buzz all your body hair down to a #1 setting.
  • From that day forward, let the hair on your head grow. Do not shave it. Within 7 to 10 days, your head hair should be approximately three times longer than your body hair. Do not begin Mike’s Macujo Method until you have at least 1/4 inch of hair on your head; otherwise, you are cleaning only your scalp.
  • Tell the person administering the test that you normally shave all the hair on your body and that you are allowing it to grow for testing. Make sure your body hair remains much shorter than your head hair.
  • Remember that the minimum amount of hair needed for testing is 5/8 inch. If your head hair is shorter than 5/8 inch on the day of your test, act as though you were unaware of the requirement. The collector may ask whether your body or armpit hair is longer. It should not be, because you have made sure your head hair is longer. The collector may then tell you to return in one or two weeks and instruct you not to cut your hair.
  • For at least four days before the rescheduled test, complete Mike’s Macujo Method again. On the day of the test, use Zydot Ultra Clean Shampoo as the final step immediately after Mike’s Macujo Method, and then take your test.

One inch of body hair could contain approximately three times as many toxins as one inch of head hair.

Body Hair: Why You Should Avoid Providing Body Hair

  • Body hair grows approximately three times slower than head hair. This means it is exposed to toxins for approximately three times longer. Therefore, 1 inch of body hair could contain approximately three times as many toxins as 1 inch of head hair.
  • Body hair is thicker and coarser than head hair, so it may contain more toxins.
  • It is very difficult to complete Mike’s Macujo Method on all body hair. Because of gravity, you would need to hold your arms up for 40 minutes while treating your armpit hair, and the products could drip. You would also need to treat your chest, legs, arms, and back hair. Do not cut your pubic hair because collectors are not permitted to take hair from the pubic area.
  • Now that you understand why providing body hair can be risky, how can you avoid it? Use a hair trimmer with a #1 attachment to buzz all body hair down to approximately 1/8 inch. This should make the body hair too short for collection, leaving the longer hair on your head as the available sample.

Men With Beards or Goatees

  • Buzz your beard or goatee close to your face. It must remain much shorter than the hair on your head, or the collector may try to take hair from your beard.

Examples to Help You Understand

Example #1

Let’s say you had not used any illicit substances for almost a year. On January 1, New Year’s Day, you went out with friends, drank alcohol, smoked marijuana, used ecstasy, or used cocaine. Soon afterward, a job opportunity required a hair drug test. If you took the test within seven days, between January 1 and January 7, your hair would still be clean and you would pass because it takes approximately 7 to 10 days for the hair to grow from the root past the scalp. However, if the test were scheduled for January 15, you would fail.

Example #2

Let’s say the last time you used any illicit toxins was January 1, New Year’s Day, and your hair test is scheduled for January 21. You have been clean for only three weeks, which gives you approximately 2/8 inch of clean hair above the scalp. Remember that if your last use was January 1, the first 1/8 inch remains below the scalp until approximately January 7. The following two weeks provide another 2/8 inch of clean growth above the scalp by January 21. If you remain clean for another week, until January 28, approximately 3/8 inch of hair above the scalp will be clean.

  • January 1–7: The first 1/8 inch is clean below the scalp.
  • January 14: During the second week, 1/8 inch is clean above the scalp.
  • January 21: During the third week, 2/8 inch is clean above the scalp.
  • January 28: During the fourth week, 3/8 inch is clean above the scalp.
  • Every seven days provides approximately another 1/8 inch of clean growth.
