They will have some effect, but won't do the job completely. There are some companies you can find on the web that sell "special" shampoo that is reputed to remove (drug) metabolytes that are incorporated into a hair shaft. Some of the claims are that the products will "clean" hair completely, and that they will allow the purchaser who uses these goods as directed to be "squeaky clean" come test time. As you'd probably expect, the products are not cheap.

But, regardless, even if they didn't completely neutralize, there would still be traces of drugs in your hair that could be detected by a proper drug test.
If you are talking about marijuana, then THC and its metabolites are a very fat-soluble resin. THC is not completely soluble in either vinegar nor baking soda. So, it would still remain in your hair regardless.

How does Clinistix paper work?
A clinistrip is a urine test strip to measure levels of glucose in urine for diabetics. The small plastic strip has glucose oxidase and an organic dye on one end. The enzyme oxidizes glucose to gluconic acid with the formation of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with dye to produce a blue color. Each color corresponds to a specific level of glucose.
What experiment shows how pH affects enzymes?
Equipment: - Hydrogen Peroxide - Catalase - Equally sized paper slips (a small rectangle, 2 cm X 1 cm) - Tweezers - Beaker - Stopwatch -pH testing strips -Acids (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) -Bases (milk, baking soda, ammonia etc.) For the control, take one of the paper slips, using the tweezers, and dip it into the catalase, then place the catalase covered slip at the bottom of a beaker filled about halfway with hydrogen peroxide. You cannot simply drop the slip into the beaker, you must stick the tweezers into the beaker so that they reach the bottom, and then release. When the catalase contacts the hydrogen peroxide the hydrogen peroxide will release oxygen as a reaction, these oxygen bubbles in the liquid will push the paper to the top. Start the stop watch precisely when the strip enters the hydrogen peroxide, to measure the rate of reaction, and stop it again when the slip reaches the top. And finally for the affect of pH on the enzyme, simply change the pH of the hydrogen peroxide adding an acid, or a base. Then, just rerun the experiment and it will be evident that the pH affects the rate of reaction. The pH of hydrogen peroxide is roughly 2, or in that region, so adding a base will speed up the reaction, because the pH optimum of catalase is around 7.
