A lot of us had that complaint, busy or not they should still take a minute to keep people updated. When I heard from them (after contacting them first) it made me feel a little bit better about waiting. Not hearing anything at all is just irritating. I was going to say that you should send them an email, but it looks like they've been comprised. Maybe hit them up on Facebook in a private message and ask? They were at least able to let me know a time frame.

Is this hair analysis even worth the wait?? My girlfriend wants to order it but she is scared because of the wait times.

I noticed they have products on http://www.sagenaturalceuticals.com/shop/index.php?family=Komaza-Care. Maybe, they had to focus on ramping up production of of their products, in lieu of, the analysis service.

It was worth it for me. I read the thread and was well versed on the fact that there may be an extended wait. It wasn't that big of a deal. The results and the advice were, however, a big deal-- priceless.

I'm happy with my analysis and I learned a lot. The wait time may not be as bad since they're limiting the amount of orders they take per month.

Just got done with my analysis and yes it was worth the wait, I learned a lot. I personally thought my hair was much worse than it actually is especially since when life gets busy my hair is the first thing to be neglected. Basically my issues are high porosity and I have about damage only 2" from ends. I do have some areas that grow in thinner and that may be from inflammation on the scalp in those particular areas. I need to increase my intake of water I only drink 1 cup a day. That's all I remember off the top of my head. Although the wait time is crazy long I think I'll do this service one or maybe twice a year.

Well I had my phone call today, and I have to say that it was well worth the wait. I sent my sample at the end of March and I got the call today. First of, she made me appreciate my natural hair. I hated my natural hair and but she is in looooooovveee with my hair and the whole 75 minutes for phone call, she kept repeating it over and over again.
---She said that she measured my natural hair at over 1 millimeter, but the average hair width and every hair she has measured before were between .065 milimeter to .083 milimeter. So mine is very thick and a lot. I already knew that.
---Another thing I learned is that my hair is actually 3c/4a, but all this time I thought it was 4zzz and brillo like. She said it is because I do not know how to bring out the curls and work with my texture and because my natural and relaxed hair are drastically different, it may seem that way.
My relaxed hair is breaking due to overprocessing and many hair she studied under the miscroscope didn't have any cuticle around them, that is how bad my relaxed hair is, I have to start over from the beginning.
I always had the desire to be natural, but because my natural and relaxed hair is so drastically different, I always ended up relaxing around 12-16 weeks post, she told me how to take care of my natural hair and my relaxed hair, the products to use, and regimen to follow.
She encouraged me to use silicon for my hair, I need it, flat iron once a week or maybe twice, to lay down the fraying due to my lack of cuticle, so those wiry thing do not do any more damage to my other strands.
It was such an enlightening conversation and she was in no rush and took the time to explain everything.
She gave me a regimen to follow for my next wash on Sunday and she will call me back on Tuesday to see how it went, so she can give me more regimen or change some things. I am so happy. I have decided to transition because I have the type of natural hair that everyone would die to have according to her. If it doesnt work out I will textlaxed at the end of the year. She said normally people's relaxed hair that are so damaged due overprocess crumble in her hands when she touches them, but my hair didnt do that, which means it can endure a lot.
Off to go implement what she told me. I plan to start over and grow a beautiful head of hair.

I had my consultation today too! My timeline was:
3/25 - shipped hair
4/2 - hair received
5/8 - email to schedule consultation
5/15 - consultation
My consultation was shorter than most I think, about half an hour but I'm happy! Everything was carefully addressed, we went over every picture and then through the questions on the questionnaire and then through my own questions.
My hair is very thick/coarse, it's .0105 - .0138 milometer but I don't understand milometer so now I wish I had gotten the reading in millimeters instead!
I have damage to the last 3 inches of my relaxed hair which are chewed and frail. They show signs of breakage, wear, high porosity, lifted cuticles, all that good stuff. The roots are healthy, no signs of hair loss or thinning. The natural hair is very strong and normal in porosity whereas the relaxed parts are high. She said the hair was 3C. I do have 4A-sized curls too though.
The call wasn't long as there wasn't a whole lot to address, she liked my exercising, water intake, vitamins. She suggested I take probiotics for my scalp issues (mild seborrheic dermatitis, oiliness, sticky dandruff mess). Definitely suggested a big chop (lol) and we spoke about my timing/when I might go for it. I explained that I don't moisturize my hair the way a 100% natural would because that would mess up my braidouts and I'd have to rebraid daily, she was cool with that but recommended daily moisture from a light spray once I'm all natural. She loved that I don't use any kind of heat. Surprisingly (to me) she liked that I implemented a shampoo in my regimen. I explained that I was very choosy and picked a shampoo containing only one sulfate (because again, my scalp gets so gross) and she was 100% on board. She said to use it weekly.
On my written report there are all sorts of added goodies of things to eat and products that may further benefit my strands. I'm super happy with the experience and definitely recommend it despite the wait!
Below is a pretty neat pic...they used a different microscope for this view. My natural hair is in the middle vs a ton of relaxed strands.
The rest of the pics are boring. I thought surely I'd get at least an SSK but nah. Below are healthy roots/fat bulbs and then breakage/need a trim (or more like a BC, lol)

Okay, before I read any further, I did a quick search on the average diameter of human hair. It ranges from .04 and .25 millimeters, averaging normally 0.1 millimeters. @Amarilles The word "milometer" is the same thing as speedometer-- it's used to measure distance as in mileage. Perhaps you meant micrometer--- which seems to be a more common way of measuring the diameter of hair. Wow, all of these new analysis sound really good , off to finish reading.
ETA: Those pics are really cool. So the ones at the bottom are your relaxed? Wow, big difference. I want to see my hair under this new microscope!

virtuenow you know I was finding the same thing on Google. But she actually wrote my hair's thickness by email and she uses "milometer." I too wondered if it was a typo...I guess I will reply asking her to help me understand the measurement. I'll update on her reply.
And yes the first pic is all relaxed hair except for the really dark middle strand. In the last pic (with three images) the new scope shows relaxed hair, and a particularly bad case of breakage. Those shimmery/sparkly white specks and dents on the strands are the busted, messed up cuticles.
ETA: I'm not sure if it's a new microscope but it's a different one. I of course asked about their microscopes and she said they have/use 3 different high powered scopes for different purposes. I now want one of each kind

Interesting. I never considered that they'd be hair typing as well....

If you ask what your hair type is, she will tell you. She still had extra hair in her position that she went back to, to double check my hair type while we were talking.

Ok, both the Protein Strengthener and the Vitamin Reign smell floral. They are both pretty soft floral scents. The Vitamin Reign smells like a bouquet and the Protein Strengthener smells like rose petals.
Let me know if that is right @coyacoy
hey there faithVA and MileHighDiva - so sorry for the delayed response! I have been away from LHCF for a minute so just now seeing this mention. I agree with faith re: the vitamin reign - is kind of floral - a light scent. The new protein strengthener also is little fruitty/floral smelling which is very different from the old one - that one was kind of wood/nutty smelling - not pleasant but not unpleasant either,
The other ones I had listed in my review have light fragrances but difficult to identify what it "smells like". I can say they all smell good, not too strong or overpowering. Once I apply their products I do not smell them throughout the day, which I wouldn't mind happening, but they are so light it just doesn't. HTH and again so sorry for the delay in responding!!

To update, you were right and "milometer" is indeed some other random crap. Lol. She seems to have typoed both the measurement and the measure, so the hair is actually .105 to .138 millimeters or 105 to 138 micrometers.
Reading around I found this "Hair with a diameter of 0.04 to 0.06 mm is considered as thin, hair with a diameter between 0.06 and 0.08 mm as normal, and hair with a diameter between 0.08 and 0.1 mm as thick." I wonder if this is the scale they use to classify one as thin/med/thick.

Setting my alarm for June 17th. I am not missing this one.
I'm not sure about their typing. Mine was 3c mostly with some 4a 
Tis a little complicated. I noticed when i collected the hair that some of my hairs look like an S shape with no presence of a coil. Other ones are loose coils which look like a 3C in theory, but so narrow in diameter that it's still nothing like the typical. If they do choose to clump I look more like what I consider 4a. Like this
^ Maybe this is not 4a and I'm wrong
erplexed Always felt 3C should have a larger curl in diameter?
She stressed to me that type is no where near as relevant as porosity and strand type (coarse/fine) when deciding to try products other people rave about. This makes sense. I've blindly rejected all type 3 advice all these years when many have fine hair like me :crazy:.
