Oooook, so here is the beginning of my story. I am about to have to take a Hair test in the next week, probably the 9th. I have read a lot on here and have come up with a few thoughts. First, if you don't have money to spend, BORROW IT! The ones who passed seemed to have done a Bleach/Redye, Perm or Hair Relaxer of some sort. Research Research Research. EDTA is key in all shampoos. PM3 has three of them, while Nexxus only has one. Don't wash it once, do it three times! I play my iPod stereo during all of this and count the songs, so I don't get bored during the washings. While I'm doing my MAC Method I go for at least 30 minutes for each step, and use Vaseline on the ears, forehead, and neck. More is better!!! Do everything!! But do it smartly!!
