Hard to say: Hair testing is very powerful (1pg/mg) and reflects drug use over the past 90 days (depending on the length of hair available). A shaved head or razor cut might remove evidence of activity from 2 weeks ago. One hit may be too little to worry about, but I can't say I know. If it's very important - you might want to tell them the truth. This sounds like an unintended outcome if you're being honest.
