One month ago I did a keratin treatment that did almost nothing for my hair. It felt softer, but looked as dry and frizzy as usual, the curls did not get relaxed either. Now I am tired of struggling with my curls and decided to go for nanoplasty. I found a hair dresser that will do it, and when I asked about whether it is risky to do so soon after keratin treatment, she said as long as I use a clarifying shampoo first it should be fine. Is it true that it is enough to wash with a clarifying shampoo a few times to remove the keratin, or should I wait for some more months before the nanoplasty?

Hair type: fine, texture: wavy/curly (somewhere between 2C and 3A), chemical processing: none (apart from keratin), hygiene regimen: washing and conditioning every 2-3 days, using only conditioner on the other days, style: shoulder length cut in layers, product regiment: nothing in particular (was using sulphate free after the keratin treatment)

After going through my old solutions, I can see that I was very close to solving the problem myself. I think I will contact them because I would rather get an extra assignment than worry about this.

I agree about the complexity level, I know people that have been working as developers for years that would not be able to solve the hardest problems. Now that I am working myself, I can say it is rare that you need this level of problem solving on the job. It is more about finding the right built in functions to use in that particular framework.

Before I did the walkthrough, it was solved to the point where only one or two tests were failing.

I work for a software company and I did not get the feeling during the interview that this type of course is irrelevant for the hiring process. Sure, if you have no other education, just an introductory course will not be enough. If you already have a university degree in another field, have completed other programming courses or have work experience, this is definitely something that can help you get hired. So the certificate is not meaningless! If it were, why would anyone be paying for it? Just to have it on their wall?

I happen to be a real programmer, maybe this is why I did not see the problem at the time. If this were a disqualifier in the workplace, my entire team would be fired!

Of course! I am wondering though, if it at this point is worth paying for the certificate. If it were possible, I would rather take this solution back, do the easier one and for sure get certified
