Q:I am 15 and i have really short, thick, and dry hair. I’m African American and my hair is breaking off and is gettin shorter and shorter every year. Any products or remedies that work?? Should i just keep getting braids or cornrolls and grease my scalp or should i leave it natural and keep conditioning it? Please help me out. Im trying to get it healthy again before school starts.
A:I can not be sure of exact pricing for your area, but in Texas I am paying $80 a treatment for a large facial area at a local dermatologist. Most places that provide the service offer a free consultation where they decide if the procedure is right for you and will discuss prices. Most places offer packages and prices differ depending on what area your having treated and how many treatments you need. I do know most insurances will not cover it. Every individual differs but I go once a month and am scheduled for my 4th visit. The results have been amazing and I should only need 1 more treatment.
A:I also had this problem and it was diagnosed as Alopecia (not sure of the spelling) and was caused by hormones being unbalanced. Needless to say, I went to a beautician friend to see if she knew how to hide it and what to do. She recommended Tea Tree oil shampoo and conditioner and to take 1000 I.U. of Vitamin E and Gelatin capsules. All totally natural stuff and I have been taking the supplements for about 20 years now and at 57 my hair is thicker than when I was a teenager. You will not see a difference over night, but after a month of taking the supplements, you will start to notice it getting thicker, growing faster and it will be stronger. Good Luck!
A:you will need to consult with a doctor. or barring that, go to one of those hair club places. they can probably answer questions and help you get your hair back the way you want it
A:Satin pillow cases work wonders, my friend had ths same prob, so I bought her several, she no longer has that problem. You could also try tying a bandana around your head at night, tie it in the front, like Rosy the Rivitor from the 40s. Good luck.
A:Hello (:
Well personally, I didn’t see any change in my hair after using the egg treatments. It does however somewhat strengthens the hair but it’s hard to wash out, it smells and it makes your hair reallllly hard.
A:Oh gosh lol ok firstly LAY OFF THE HEAT APPLIENCES!! let your hair dry naturally whenever you can and only straighten your hair when you absolutly have to. Use your heart protection spray. Use a shampoo and conditioner for dry/damaged hair. Once maybe twice a week depending on the extent of damage on your hair, use a DEEP INTENSIVE conditioning treatment (you heat it in the microwave and leave it on for around 10 mins)
Ensure you have regular haircuts – every 6 to 8 weeks (i get mine ever 6 weeks) to cut off the dead/dry/split ends.
A:yeah no joke, if your body is so pissed off it doesn’t even want it’s hair any more there’s something very wrong.
You can’t see the signs here?
What the hell good does anerexia do anyway? doesn’t it hurt to fast? What about all the great experiences your missing out on without eating great food? You only get so many meals you know.
Besides, a girl with a little definition even with a little extra gravy beats an anorexic any day in my book.
