From what I have read in pamphlets from companies attempting to sell kits to test hair for drugs, it remains in your hair as long as you have the hair that was growing in pouch-like structure below the skin called a hair follicle (What we see as hair is actually the hair shaft) at the time of ingestion of the drug. As you may know however, there are products that are capable of stripping your hair of the traces of drugs being tested for. Because the hair "stripping" kits actually work very effectively hair testing is rarely used. ( unlike all of the crap sold to supposedly mask drugs in urine)It is/was thought to be a better representative of a persons drug habits as continuous use of drugs would be represented by a positive result the entire length of hair, if it was intermittent use this would be represented by intermittent positives along the length of hair.

Is there a way to get marijuana out your hair?

If you have chunks of marijuana in your hair, pick it out or comb it out. If you have the smell of marijuana in your hair, use shampoo. If your hair will be used to scientifically test for marijuana useage, and you have used marijuana, cut off your hair. Most likely if you're bald they'll ask for hair from another part of the body. If you're completely bald they might not give you a job. The only thing that can save you is to shave your head and get a wig that looks real and is made from human hair. But that would take a lot of work.
