it looks like tiffany is ready to take orders for a hair anaylsis. the price is reasonable, $12.95 but you don't know how to gather your hair (altho she does state you won't have to cut off a chunk!) nor whether you can have products, etc. you receive an email detailing all of that after you pay.
so, i am waiting to hear from others who have gotten that email.

you have to take your hair somewhere? you don't mail it in?
and, does it have to be clean of any products?
how many hairs?

Just paid for mine!
You send your hair in. The message tells you where on your head to take hairs from. It ends up being about 16-20 strands. It does have to be clean of all products. The questions just ask if you color your hair, take prescription meds, etc.

My hairs looked so much thinner and straighter than they seem on my head.

Will I need a big envelope for it (need to print something out?) or will I be able to use a regular white envelope.
Thank you!

Fine hair, normal porosity, and normal elasticity.
I'm still new to this CG stuff, so ANY tips you could give me are appreciated.
I have Celiac Disease, which means I can't eat or use products with wheat in it.

As for the washing, the instructions weren't specific as far as what has to be used - but I think that depends on the products you typically use. I don't use non-water soluble cones, so I washed really well with CJ Daily Fix, rinsed extra, extra well, and didn't use any rinse-outs or leave-ins after. (On a side note, I'd been wondering what my hair would look like now, after 2 months off sufates and silicones, with no products in it. Now I know. Interesting!

I hope that I got 16 strands. I removed it in the shower after washing and before conditioning. I had a paper towel out and ready, sitting on my tub and I stepped out long enough to place them on it to dry!
My hair is even finer than I thought when I look at individual strands!! It is dark but is barely visible in the bag. It also looks silky and straight!
This should be fun. I was careful to get hair from all sections of my head. Sure hope that I got enough.
Won't it be fun when we get our reports??

I washed my hair, let it mostly dry, then plucked the 20 strands out of my head in front of the mirror. I have a variety of hair types on my head, I think - some look really thin, some look fairly substantial, some were mostly straight and only one was curled up into a little tiny spiral - and I tried to get as many different ones in the bag as possible. I really am looking forward to seeing what they have to say about it!
I just purchased the it today and plan on plucking those hairs tomorrow morning so I want to get it right!

Update: I DID receive an email in my SPAMBOX in AOL. I didn't think to look there since I don't really use that email for much. But, I DO use it for my PayPal address. So, I should've thought of that. LOL!
Anyhoo... Tiffany contacted me and sent me the form. So, I have it. But, I just wanted to make you all aware of the fact that, if you don't see your email, you need to check your spambox.

I keep imagining that I will get an email saying YOU ARE A CURLY IMPOSTER!!! Some of my hair was almost invisible.
