I passed! Decided to spring for the more expensive version on test clear instead of the possible hacks on Amazon, as the job i was going for had a huge raise that would make it worth it. I smoke...
More 1-2x/ week and had last smoked 5 days before starting wash. I’m half black, female, 130lb, long curly thick hair to breasts and i was worried about getting enough throughout the strands. I washed 39 times over 6 days. i did not put anything else in my hair—including conditioner (which was brutal) or styling product so i looked like shit at work for a week but whatever. i did buy new combs and hair clips and sheets/pillowcases. i washed w my regular shampoo (which is TGel) daily, then started the aloe rid. i scrubbed scalp thoroughly for ~4 min, then combed with the shampoo in it—which usually took longer than 15 minutes. i only did the vinegar/tsal soak twice (overnight) and it burned the shit out of my scalp and i feel like i didn’t need to do it—wish i hadn’t. YAY!
