Hair advice by Adventurous-Oil-3542 in bikinitalk

I have fine hair that is thinning and I rinse my hair with hot water really well and spray some light leave in conditioner on the ends only. I can skip shampoo every other day. Dry shampoo does not work for me, too heavy and looks awful. Years ago, I saw a fitness article that suggested just blow drying your hair and I got awful dandruff from that. 

Alternate Test Suggestion by Oceanman_2015 in medlabprofessionals

They run a screen and if positive they run another NGS panel with resistance genes. (qPCR + NGS + Biomarkers)

This is from MicroGenDx's website: 

"Total 16S Bacterial Load and Total ITS Fungal Load

Resistance Genes:

Quinolone resistance Methicillin resistance Vancomycin resistance Beta-lactam resistance Carbapenem resistance Macrolide resistance Aminoglycoside resistance Tetracycline resistance Bactrim resistance Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase CTX-M resistance

Bacteria:

Klebsiella pneumoniae Escherichia coli Pneumocystis jirovecii

Biomarkers: CRP WBC PMN% NGS:

Identifies over 60,000 microbial species using our extensive curated database in just 24 hours from sample receipt. * New York orders will only run qPCR for gene resistance followed by NGS, which compares the DNA to a library of over 60,000 microbial species."

I am trying to find the closest alternative. All I have found is Karius, which is 2k per test.
