I think I'm being quite thorough but I still have a couple of questions...

1) From what I understand, it is alkalines such as baking soda and ammonia that open the hair cuticle, not acids - which leads me to the question of how vinegar is going to help?

2) I've heard a lot of mention of Tide laundry Detergent - I am in UK so cannot get this and was wondering if any washing powder will do (is it even powder or is it liquid?)

3) I do not know what is T/Gel and T/Sal...?!


I'm sorry if I keep repeating my questions, I want as much help from people like Jerry G and Diege as possible and do not want them to think I haven't done my reading, its all I have been doing- I'm just finding so much contradicting information my head is starting to spin, plus the fact this is a very sad and stressful time for me is not helping, if I could say bollocks to it all I would just curl up in bed with a fat joint - but unfortunately theres a lot riding on these results
Chances are they will test the same way they did prior. These types of things are ussualy bought in bulk for en masse testing due to bottom line expense. Besides in my experience which is lengthy in all types with exception of hair test companies, counties and jails do one type of testing. It makes it easier for the one adminestering and that specific type has provably already been proven beneficial in the courts...good luckimp:
