Toxins can be: extreted into the hair shafts, but the only way to reliably remove is to cut the hair. Actually if the toxin is excreted into the hair that is a way for your body to eliminate toxins. This is a whole specialized area of medicine and there are multiple ways and theories to do this. infared saunas are often mentioned as helpful.
