Will THC Show Up In Hair Test?

I had been clean of thc for over 90 days. Then I have taken 4 hits of high quality thc in the past 5 weeks. these hits were very quickly inhaled and immediately blown out. just enough for me to barely feel.will this show on a hair test this week.? from what I understand the little amount and infrequency should not show up. is this correct. personally I am the type of person dead set against alcohol but have never seen any physical trouble from marijuana. I would like to set my mind at ease I do need this job.

Hi
Thanks for using health care magic

THC's half life is 1 to 10 days and its could stay in body for 3-30 days, depending on your metabolism and the amount of marijuana that you’ve smoked. Hair tests are even worse, since your body stores THC in the hair follicles. For the hair test, depending on the amount of hair that the company takes, it’s possible that marijuana could be detected up to three years after the last time that you smoke.

Thanks
