Question : Hi I recently took a hair follicle test that was taken from my Chin. I stopped smoking about 2 1/2 months ago and was a very light smoker before then (once or twice a week or sometimes every two weeks). I was recommended to take the Old style Toxin rid shampoo along with the Ultra Clean product and I did so for 8 days step by step. I used the products 1-2 times a day up until the day of the test. 3 times, I showered the day of the test and applied the products again as well. I’m very active in working out, 90% water drinker, and a very healthy eater. The physician did not cut to the root of the hairs on my chin. Do I stand a good chance of passing?
