Recently, I came across a post where someone suggested a hair treatment called the "Mac Method." They started listing various random household and acne products, and to my surprise, they even mentioned using Spic and Span! It's quite amusing how every few years, I encounter this method being mentioned with some addition or change. This is the nature of the internet, where people try to appear smarter than they actually are.
Pot head #1 comes up with a random list of ingredients and calls it a "Method." Then pot head #2, wanting to demonstrate their supposed expertise in separating hair molecules, adds or modifies the list and posts it online, perpetuating the cycle. Of course, you'll find purists who claim that the original random assortment of ingredients is the only true way, and they deserve a special place in hell for that.
To make my point and simplify things (I hope), I will discuss the variations of the "McCujo," "Macujo," "Maccujo," "Maccogo," or the "Mac Method" (they can't even agree on the name). This home remedy hair detox is often found in search results, each with a different list of random ingredients claiming to be part of this so-called scientific method. Oh, and let's not forget the Jerry G method, because I'm sure someone will say I didn't mention it. It's probably just a variation of the Mac Method with bleach, but why not just call it that? Heaven forbid we give every genius with a tweak their own method name, as in reality, we'd have dozens of them.
ALL "METHODS" ARE ONLY INVENTED TO SELL SHCAMPOO !!!
First page of google results I found these variation
of the "mac method" for sake of time I wont post every variation, this should make my point .
1 aloe rid shampoo
( doesnt exist ALOE RID by NEXXUS wen toff market in 2005 anyone with a NON NEXXUS LABEL should not be making you believe your buying a nexxus shampoo ) , Clean and Clear pink , Tide
liquid , Heinz vinegar
2 Folli-Kleen Intense Hair Cleanser
, ZYDOT Ultra Clean Shampoo , Neutrogina TSal Shampoo ( shampoo with salicylic
acid %3 ) , Apple cider vinegar , Tide original Liquid Laundry Detergent, Baking
soda
3 Vinegar , clean & clear pink , tide , Paul Mitchell three , all the stuff to bleach and dye hair with
So you see finding a true method would require a consistent list for which to
prove it. This does not, but we will go
to the original mac and jerry g method for OUR SOURCE on this break down of
foolishness.
mac method
nexxus aloe rid ( out of production in 2005 )
Tide
detergent - (
would open cuticle and breakdown oils but thats it)
Heinz
white vinegar
(must be Heinz ?) Minimal THC metabolisms'
will get all over your head
clean
and clear PINK ( salicylic acid %2) also Tsal shampoo contains %3 salicylic acid
and sometimes they tell you to use both , which is pointless)
The way its generally explained is the vinegar and clean and clear create pours and damage hair creating cracks in the cuticle ( ok step one BREAK hair? ) with clean and clear pink over the counter at %3 salicylic acid ? I don't think that's going to break anything, thank god .( SEE FATS ABOUT PH AND SAL% )
Then The Aloe shampoo because its main component is propylene glycol and that opens the cuticle and removes metabolites.
THE FALSE CLAIM THAT IT OPENS THE CUTICLE AND REMOVES METABOLITES IS FALSE .
propylene glycol is a wetting agent is is NOT the main active ingredient in ANYTHING the aloe rid type shampoos active ingredient is EDTA .The idiots promoting propylene glycol and aloe rid scampoos are trying to sound like their is something in the shampoo that you need ... BUT ALL METHODS ARE MADE UP TO SELL SCHAMPOO
Then with the TIDE detergent, they don't explain what it does but some will say it opens the hair, as it will because its over 7 ph, but going by this theory or method wouldn't you use it first ?, and if the aloe rid opens the hair what's the tide for ?
This is the same as people who say use clean
and clear then follow with Tsal when they have same ingredients in them at useless levels. It
makes as much scientific sense as saying Drink pepsi and then drink coke. This
is what I mean, its not a method, its stupidity .
Now the Jerry G thing .
its about 150.00 in random mostly fake aloe rid shampoos and ZYDOT but this version uses bleach and dye. It frys your head and you will only try this madness one time and shave your head because all your hair will be breaking off.
First you use hair dye ,..why? well they say it has ammonia to open the cuticle. I know so does regular ammonia or tap water
over ph of 7 or for that matter & I thought the tide was for that ? Then after
coloring it your supposed to bleach it, some say bleach first then color
(again no clear method really) and some say do this MULTIPLE TIMES .
WTF is that ? what they dont tell you is you will fail when the tech KNOWS your nasty feeling hair with obvious dye job so they notate the form and the lab does a methlyne blue stain to hair sample and looks at it under a fluoroscope and BAM they see how FRIED it is and you fail UNABLE TO TEST DUE TO HAIR DAMAGE .
Then you use baking soda , I have no idea why but they will say it opens the hair . OK so how many pointless items is that now that OPEN HAIR ? opening hair does nothing but open the hair , its what goes into it after its open and these "methods" have no properties that do any metabolizing.
I understand your concern regarding unreliable information found on random websites. It is important to rely on credible scientific sources when seeking accurate information about the effectiveness of cleansing methods for THC detection in hair.
In reality, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) does not easily transfer into hair, and its presence in hair is primarily associated with regular and prolonged use coupled with low physical activity levels. Therefore, individuals who claim to have successfully passed THC tests using certain shampoos may have passed even without any treatment, given their usage patterns.
However, it is worth noting that for other chemical drugs, there may be a slight reduction in their presence in hair after extensive treatments that involve breaking and treating the hair. Nevertheless, such drastic measures are unlikely to be viewed favorably in a laboratory setting and may raise suspicion during testing processes.
To ensure accurate and reliable information regarding the effectiveness of cleansing methods for THC detection in hair, it is advisable to consult reputable scientific sources and rely on validated studies conducted by experts in the field.
When considering the expenses associated with various over-the-counter products, it's important to note that they can add up to over $150. However, there is an alternative option available called Hair Razor Detox, which is significantly stronger and does not have the potential to cause any negative effects on your scalp. The cost for a set of 20 Hair Razor Detox treatments is $80, making it a more cost-effective choice.
To ensure the most effective treatment for your specific situation, a Hair Razor Consultant will assess important factors such as the substances used, the timing of their use, and the frequency and quantity of usage on a monthly basis. These factors will help determine the appropriate number of treatments needed to achieve optimal results.
It's worth noting that Hair Razor Detox offers a comprehensive and tailored approach to address individual needs, providing a more personalized and effective solution compared to generic over-the-counter options.
