Hi thanks for writing here.Weed or marijuna after smoking gets metabolised in body and they are detected in hair follicle.Usually they are detectable after 10 days up to 3 months.However hair drug tests can not pick up occasional use of marijuna and so there is high chances for you passing this test.However i can not give 100% reassurance,since the metabolites are deep in hair cortex ,any shampoos or hair growing tablets can not detoxify the effects of drug,so you need not to take anything.Best of luck.
