My wifes hair will pass a HHT101 or whatever number you want very easily.
I did an experiment with a razor that shaved nicely and tried a number of different hairs (My wifes a hairdresser) and concluded that everyones hair is different, even certain types of shampoo can make a difference, some contain silicone thst will coat the hair making it harder to cut.

This is where I have a problem, also. I normally use the hair from my wife's hairbrush. If she uses hair conditioner, the hair will slide over the edge if though the edge was dulled on the edge of a glass. So my own hair is my second choice, a real PITA, since mine is only an inch long.

I used the arm hair test...



Until I ran out of arm hair

I‘ve asked our house barber to give me a bundle of hairs of my Daughters and wife's once she has cut their hairs.
So I have now different bundles of washed hairs which I can use for HHT for the rest of my life

The most thinnest hairs used in my video are from my youngest princess, they the most hard to achieve acceptable HHT results.

Mike, hair used for HHT needs to be clean and unconditioned for the reasons you mention. Hair extensions are a good way to go.

I have some samples if you’d like some.

It's the non soluble silicones that some companies use to make the hair feel thicker with more volume, blah, blah etc.
If you look at the rubbish they put In some shampoos and conditioners it's no wonder it affects the HTT.
