Another mac jerry g method DIY detox nightmare story

Looking for information on mac methode hair detox? 

 

I get these a couple times a week but wanted to share this as they had actual level to report from these random item home remedy desperation attempts

 

 Head shop shampoo

The person was using meth at 4-6 grams a month .

They originally tried a detox SHAMPOO from the head shop,   so results came back at over 6000 pg /mg  WOW !  

 WHY ? because shampoos are just SHAMPOO   they said 4 to 6 gram and results said 6000pg which is average at 6 GRAMS  so it did NOTHING 




Now comes the desperation and typical surfing the WEB for advise from all the NOT SO EDUCATED  legion of people who think putting out this dangerous info is in anyway helping people. 


The following is cut directly from their consultation 


Started in October Detox from head shop n took hair follicle for court- Failed with meth levels at 6,000 for a 6 month test and also amphetamines.... (I had also been taking Pain Killers and this did not show in my results) not a extended panel 

I stopped using Meth at the beginning of December for over 2 weeks but started back using for a week before test that i had at the end of December. 

I Cut My Hair to right under ear length and then I did Hair Detox from head shop again and

Also home remedy treatments with tide and facial cleanse , then  dying hair etc  and  then more hair detox from shop. I even poured Straight Bleach on my head and Cried for 10 minutes while it set my scalp on fire. 

Also did the salon bleach treatment then dyed hair and Restripped hair again with another bleach kit and washed once More with Detox shampoo after. 

Then I went for My test at the end of December, This was All So Rough on my head that it left blisters n sores on my scalp! After All this trouble I went in for a personal test and still failed with levels of Meth at 1,000pg for a 3 month hair test!


SO MULTIPLE bleaching,   dying, striping  and  shampoos even clorox  (
 Sodium hypochlorite ) and result was a % 17  reduction  

All this probably costing easy over 200 all to blister your head? 

Only needed a single set of Hair Razor (actually a 40.00 Half set if hair is short )

Still think unknown know it all on the web are who you should be listening to ?  


before you go down that road get a Hair Razor detox consultation so your individual use can be assessed and a safe treatment can be suggested

The Myth of Propylene Glycol Hair Detox


Propylene glycol is in every commercial shampoo like Aloe Rid and Does nothing for hair detox 

The belief that propylene glycol can detox hair or remove drug metabolites is a long-standing internet myth. While propylene glycol is commonly used in shampoos, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, it functions only as a wetting agent and solvent—not a chemical capable of breaking down drug metabolites in hair.





What Is Propylene Glycol?

Propylene Glycol is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid widely used across many industries.

Common uses include:

  • Solvent in pharmaceutical medications

  • Ingredient in cosmetics and shampoos

  • Moisture-retaining agent in food products

  • Component in aircraft de-icing fluids

  • Low-toxicity alternative to ethylene glycol antifreeze

Because it is chemically stable and safe for topical use, propylene glycol appears in many personal care products—including certain detox shampoos.

But none of these uses involve breaking down drug metabolites.


What Propylene Glycol Actually Does in Shampoo

In cosmetic formulations, propylene glycol acts primarily as:

  • A wetting agent

  • A solvent

  • A humectant that helps retain moisture

As a wetting agent, it lowers the surface tension of liquids, helping ingredients spread evenly through hair and skin.

That is its entire role.

It does not chemically react with drug metabolites, and it does not dissolve substances embedded inside the hair shaft.


How the Propylene Glycol Detox Myth Started

The myth appears to have originated when online forums began analyzing ingredient lists from detox shampoos such as Nexxus Aloe Rid.

Some internet “experts” noticed propylene glycol on the ingredient list and assumed it must be the key detox ingredient.

This assumption spread quickly through forums and DIY detox guides, eventually becoming accepted as fact—despite having no scientific support.

In reality, propylene glycol appears in thousands of cosmetic products, most of which have nothing to do with drug testing.


Why Paying for “Propylene Glycol Detox Shampoo” Makes No Sense

If propylene glycol were truly the secret ingredient for hair detox, then the solution would be simple.

You could purchase a bottle of propylene glycol itself for just a few dollars from many retailers. Yet detox shampoos containing it are often sold for $100 or more.

The price difference highlights the real driver behind the myth: marketing, not chemistry.

The presence of propylene glycol in a shampoo does not make it capable of removing drug metabolites from hair.


Why Many Online Success Stories Are Misleading

Another reason the myth persists is because of misinterpreted test results.

Hair drug tests measure metabolites such as those from THC, which do not always incorporate strongly into hair.

Factors that affect detection include:

  • Frequency of drug use

  • Body composition

  • Hair growth rate

  • Individual metabolism

For example, one-time or very occasional cannabis use often does not produce strong hair concentrations. Someone in this situation may believe a shampoo worked—even though they were already below the detection threshold.


The Reality of Hair Drug Testing

Drug metabolites become incorporated into hair through the bloodstream as hair grows. Once embedded inside the hair structure, removing them requires specific chemical processes, not simply washing the outside of the hair.

Standard shampoos—regardless of price or marketing claims—primarily clean the outer surface of hair.

They do not reach deep enough to reliably remove metabolites that have already formed within the hair shaft.


Key Takeaway

The idea that propylene glycol detoxifies hair is based on a misunderstanding of cosmetic chemistry.

Propylene glycol is simply a wetting agent used to help ingredients spread evenly in shampoos and other products. It has no known chemical ability to destroy or remove drug metabolites from hair, despite widespread claims found in online detox guides.
