Ogoma, can you let us know if Komaza would provide the service to someone in Canada. If no, then wondering if they would be open to providing the service to international clients with a US mail address ( I use a mail service who forwards mail to Canada from US vendors).

I sent them the email this morning so I'll let you know once I hear back from them. I have a US mailing address, but I want it as soon as possible. I don't want it sitting in my box waiting for me. I need to apply for a nexus card so I can stop being lazy about that long border wait.

i thought it was crazy that i should relax quick, but my new growth is healthy. i'm surprised by that, because i flat ironed a handful of times during this stretch. also because i just knew the new growth was catching hades during my detangling sessions.
lemme show ya'll the pics real quick before i get to yappin' some more
i combine/condensed them so they'd fit in one post

ok, so after letting it all marinate, here's what i've figured out ( i actually wrote this all down
)
1)protect my old hair
-silk and plant proteins to help glue my hair together and prevent more problems
-least manipulation as possible (braids, maybe have to do a weave
)
-get on a keratin-product schedule
-base the heck out of it before relaxing
-no skipping trims. that old hair needs to go
-use products with slip for smoothness when i'm combing
2)no long stretches for a while (also, why i need to relax already)
-those "elbows", though not bad, are a nuisance. they add to the rough feel, and i need as much smoothness as possible right now.
-don't need curly hairs wrapping up inside a split, or getting caught on an exposed hair fiber, thus breaking the strands
-she said if i don't relax, to at least put heat to the new growth
3)products
-she sent a document that said no cones, etc., but when we talked she didn't mention anything at all about what to actually use outside of proteins. i did say i used elasta qp intense with the silk in it, and she said that was good. eqp does have nono stuff in it, but it's cheap, easy to get, and does its job. going to get the silk h20 spray again that has silk too.
-jojoba oil, since she said jojoba protein was good. funny, 'cause i tried it once and liked it.
-coconut oil. it helps hold protein i believe, plus gives some shine
-detangler. no idea what to use. but i'll try oil washing maybe with coconut and jojoba oils. cocoba oil

ya'll, after i saw that, i had to apologize to my hair. i knew i messed it upwith my indecisiveness, but actually seeing the damage made me feel so bad. i'm glad it's not as bad as i thought, but then again, i only sent in some choice hairs. who knows what the rejected hairs would've told me.
i'm mad about the 3" though. the last time i tried for full official bsl, something was up with my hair, and i had to cut. a whole freakin year and a half of grazing it. now it looks like it'll be another year of that.
oh well. at least i know what to do, and not just guess. it'd be my luck i make it worse. matter of fact, i kinda did. i thought maybe if i stopped using protein, and try to shoot for moisture overload, my hair would get softer. not only did i make my damage worse, but ironically, protein helps your hair hold moisture. go figure.

Exactly!! Even though it might be another year, at least you'll know precisely what you are doing and that makes it so much easier to be patient, IMO. Congrats on your results!!
ETA: interesting re: the coconut oil and helping to hold protein in your previous post - never knew that

That sounds reasonable. It would probably reduce the delay. They could save some money by doing them all that way.

@Ogoma, thanks for the mention. Good to know they offer the service outside the US. I plan on ordering the analysis. Based on the previous reviews, I love that the service is so personalized and the results are detailed...like a prescription for your hair care woes. I am curious to learn how well or poorly I have been doing with my hair journey It will be nice knowing if I should be doing things differently or continue with the status quo.
Not to hijack the thread but...question for you on your comment about the nexus card? Do you go across the border Buffalo to shop for hair products and if you do are there any good BSS selling quality stuff where you shop at? Inquiring minds wanna know.

I am in Vancouver. I just ship stuff and pick them up across the border. I also go to Target and Trader Joe's when I am there. I've never been to a BSS there. I know people that go every week to do regular grocery shopping. It is about a 40 min trip from downtown, but the border wait can be anywhere from 15 mins to an hour. Very annoying watching the nexus folks fly by

Ok ladies I've just ordered my hair analysis! I also have a customer code if any one would like to use it for any purchase on their website. My code is ZFACED8C. I've also learned that you must be a new customer in order to use an existing customer code.
I just used your code to place my order.

Yes. I received a tracking number from whoever they shipped through.
They don't ship every day. It may be several days before they send your package.

I got my shipment confirmation the day after I ordered. Maybe check your SPAM folder?
ETA: Ordered Wednesday, shipped Thursday.

Yeah that's a good idea to check your Spam folder.
But I ordered on June 25th and it wasn't shipped until the 27th. They ship quickly but it's not always the same day or even next day.

Darn. Just saw this message. They just gave me that code. Thanks for trying. I'll check it out. Thanks for letting me know.
Can someone else try to use my code and let me know if it works?
Thanks.
