Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum. Feel free to move it if necessary.
Just wanted to get the community's opinion on this issue I'm currently dealing with. I just moved to a new state and am scheduled for a job interview Monday morning. The company asked me if I was willing to take a drug test, and I of course said yes. However, I was assuming it would be the standard urinalysis or "pee test". But they said they may require me to take a hair follicle drug test, which poses a problem with me as I wear a hair-system. I'm now frantic trying to think of what to do about this. The only two options I can think of are things I don't want to do. One option, to me, would be to be up-front with them about the fact that I wear fake hair. You see, mine is a "topper" which means the hair on top of my head is a hair system unit, but the hair on the sides and back of my head is mine. However, this option is just too humiliating for me. I don't want to make an ass of myself by revealing to these guys that I "wear fake hair". The only other option I can think of is to shave my head, but being the tall, thin, lanky, early-20s white male that I am, I'm afraid I'll look ridiculous with a shaved head, or worse, I might look like a skinhead!
Does anyone here have any advice for me? Has anyone who wears hair ever had to do a hair-follicle drug test? Any other options or advice for this situation would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
