Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The meth is tested from the recent 1.5 inches of scalp hair which is collected.
2. Meth appears in the hair between 5 to 10 days after intake. It can stay for up to 90 days.
3. Therefore your friend has a possibility of hair test results confirming meth intake if today is 11 days since he took it.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
