The Get Clean Shampoo masks unwanted drugs metabolites in your hair. Drugs metabolites are circulated throughout the body via the blood stream and absorbed by the hair through the environment.
Wet hair, and hair treated with styling gel are especially susceptible to environmental contamination (second hand smoke). When drugs are ingested the blood feeds the hair while it is in the growth stage. As the hair is formed the metabolites are trapped inside the hair follicle.
During the pre-employment drugs test procedure, a hair sample is clipped from the back of the head near the scalp by the examiner. Once sent to a laboratory the hair is dissolved with organic solvents. Once in a liquid solution, the metabolites are freed from within the hair follicle. An extraction is performed on the liquid and drugs metabolites are removed. Once the drugs metabolites are isolated a GC/MS is performed just like with urinalysis testing.
The Get Clean shampoo works by coating the hair with an organic film much like a conditioner. When the examiner removes the hair sample the shampoo bound to the hair goes with it. Once the hair is dissolved, the residual left by the shampoo is free to interact with the drugs metabolites, which had been trapped in the hair follicle, masking the metabolites.
