Well, it is my understanding that whatever you bring into your body will be absorbed on a cellular level, not only by your hair, but by your entire body. Your skin and your blood will absorb chemicals and nutrients and vitamins just like your hair. However, you shed skin. Your blood is cleaned regularly by your liver. Your liver is like the garbageman of your body: it keeps it clean. Your hair, however, is only living tissue at the very base of each strand of hair. The hair follicle itself is actually dead tissue, so there is no cleaning going on. Everything that is absorbed into your body eventually finds its way to your hair. Think of it as a tiny tiny stain in your hair that doesn't get cleaned. So...it's not that your hair is the only part of your body absorbing things. It just doesn't have a cleaning system set up, so whatever it absorbs is there permanently. That's my guess.

Took drugs 30 days ago will they be in system by salava and hair test?

There will be no traces of the drug after 30 days so feel free to go ahead with the test.*note: Not true. It will most definitely show up in a hair test. Unless you just jumped into a fire and burnt ALL of your hair off. Hair test's show drug use for as long as you have had your hair. Body hair can be detectable up to 1 year. If you haven't cut the hair on your head in a year, expect them to find everything you have done in that time frame. When the body breaks down the substance, your blood carries it to your hair and leaves trace amounts of it in the follicles.

What if you only smoke a little would my hair be clean?

When you take any drug into your body, your bloodstream lays down a "track" on your body hair. As hair grows out, that track moves with it. When hair is analysed for drug use, it CAN show up. It is not ON your hair, but IN your hair. There are a number of stories about how you can "beat" a drug screen. They are just that- stories. The only reliable way to do that is not to do the drugs.
