Urgent Hair Test question

[bruschi11]

Alright guys, I wasn't planning on starting my fast until tomorrow or Friday. But I started today. And I just realized i completely forgot about the hair analysis I have being sent to my house. So I gotta get some hair off my body within the next couple hours. Unfortunately, my hair is extremely short right now. I'm just not gonna cut it when I can use from another body part.

So at this point in hackstasis history, where is the very best place to use hair rather than head hair?

I'm considering- pubic hair, chest hair, and armpit hair currently. Thoughts?

And I'm sorry I should be up to date on this but I'm not. Head hair has always been easy for me but this time its not.

This is from our favourite Dr. Wilson:

Cut the sample from anywhere on the head. The nape of the neck is excellent, but other areas are fine, as well. If head hair is not available, the next best hair is from the underarms. On men, beard hair or chest hair will work, as well.

If these are not available, some labs will test the minerals in fingernails, and this is fairly accurate. Do not use pubic hair. It is not as accurate, even though some laboratories allow it.

I used hair from my armpit for my first run of TEI. My second was scalp. There were differences between my first and second (quite significant), but @Helen explained that it would be normal for where I was to resolve rather quickly. This leads me to believe that if you can't do scalp, do armpit (axillary) hair.

Sorry but, is okay to dont use shampoo? Or this made worse the analysis?

Don’t use shampoo!

No Shampoo No conditioner no drugs etc. No hair product. No texture cream, nor moulding paste. No matte finishing products, nor hairspray. 72hrs or 24hrs ++ for sure.
For accuracy. I didn't even use a blowdryer. Not since I moved actually (I'll buy a new one).

3 weeks before its okay? Or never? Or 2/3 days before

 

[bruschi11]

Do you use deodorant? That is the caution to underarm hair. I use chest and leg.

How will I go 72 hours without hair product? I’ll look like I got a perm, haha

Guess I’ll manage

I didn’t do any of this besides just wash the product out of my hair the morning of my afternoon hair cut for my latest sample and it turned out just fine. I use all natural shampoo and hair product, however, so not sure if that matters.

Yeah No, I don't think it matters too too much. I think that, it's 24 hrs after shampoo and conditioner, but I did 48-72hrs just to be safe. (paranoid/ overtly cautious).
