The 3 month follow up is a huge plus as well so that we can see what has changed etc...
[USER=105443 said:coyacoy[/USER];16260307]That is exactly how i felt....give me something concrete, please!
Re: shipping time i know they ship from CA so depending on where you are....i am in AZ so it only took a couple of days. They do use priority mail so that helps as well....

@faithVA.... I stopped letting deep conditioner sit on my hair all day or all night now that I understand how it staying that moist for so long can contribute to my hair's weakness.... also no more baggying overnight for the same reason.... I've upped my protein usage from biweekly to every week now and I went ahead and trimmed another 3 quarters of an inch and then will do that again in 2 months per the hair analysis results and recommendations.... she guesstimated that my hair grows about that amount or an inch every month... last but not least I am simplifying my reggie and instead of doing henna every couple of weeks I am just going to henna once a month... I also cut out a couple of the products I was using again as per the hair analysis results
faithVA said:My package shipped today priority mail. So I should have it Friday or Saturday. That's good because I need to color my hair
Whatcha gettin????
Found like 2 or 3 strands.
faithVA said:I got my package today. Of course of all the days my hair decides it doesn't want to shed today.
Usually I have a pile of hair in my shower and sink filter. I went to look for hair tonight after I cowashed and what?
This has never happened in the history of my hair
I cowash again tomorrow and will not hoping for shedding but at least a little bit.
I received my call last night. She spent an entire hour on the phone with me explaining each one of the 11 images in full detail; and answered all of my questions thoroughly. She then summarized all the analysis data (including that from our conversation), guidance and recommendations for healthy hair (internal and external practices) into separate documents for my reference.
I have full access to the slides and can save or move them where ever I would like.
I learned that I have VERY high porosity hair - not on the lower side as I had previously believed.
I learned that overall my hair is in excellent shape (she actually showed me the coolest slide that captured the "kink" in a perfectly healthy strand - that was kind of cool).
I learned that even though my hair is healthy overall, I do indeed still have some trimming to do. She recommended an amount and timeframe to do so. She was able to assess the timeframe in which she believed the damage occurred based on the current location and as compared to the state of the rest of the strand(s) - which was a huge help in my getting closer to an accurate assessment of what specific hair care practices cause damage for me. This was something that has been an ongoing concern - if I'm not sure what caused it, how can I ensure I don't cause it again?
She was able to provide so very much insight into the state of my hair; including exactly how far up the hair strand she could begin to see some weakness.
I received feedback on my current vitamin intake as well as my current hair care reggie - including products! And she did not at all try to push products - as a matter of fact, she suggested I eliminate one of the KC products I had been using from my reggie based on my hair's needs.
Overall, it was such a wonderful experience and well worth the money. I just wanted to pass this along - especially if you have been struggling and can't quite get a handle on things to your satisfaction. This is worthwhile service.
HTH and HHG!!
Blessings
ETA: i forgot to add that in 3 months, I am supposed to mail in a second hair sample (assumably after having implemented their recommendations) using the 2nd envelope in the original package. They will then do a second assessment and call me again with those results!!!
@Honey_Bee - i have recently started to ACV rinse after every other wash to help close the cuticle and seal in the moisture. I used to do this about a year ago, but for no other reason than bandwagon hopping...then i came across several posts warning that ACV rinsing could dry out your hair and lead to breakage, so i stopped. not really knowing or noticing the benefits of doing this i really didn't have any pros or cons of my own to weigh - just what i had read.

Just my opinion. It probably did work at one time but over time whatever details we needed to judge it accurately didn't translate over.
faithVA - yes, I think you are right about that re: the testMost of the women on the board are normal porosity. There are very few low porosity women on the board. Not sure about high porosity but they are far less than normal porosity.
coyacoy, I don't think that water test is that accurate
! That drops the price form $65 to $55!!!!
