Hey alibaba, the type of shampoo you're using could be contributing to your hair loss. Ask your doctor to recommend som shampoo that will build and strengthen your hair. Thanx a bunch for subscribing. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I have been losing a concerning amount of hair lately. I realize that people lose hair every day, and that hair loss (to a certain extent) is normal, but this is a lot more than normal. I've noticed a definable spike within the last few months. I'm a swimmer, and I swim 4-5 times a week with my team. Due to my taking advanced classes this year, I'm under a lot of stress. I have abnormally thin hair as it is, which my doctor knows about. I take vitamins every day to help with the healthiness of my locks, and do not use heat with it as she (my doc) recommended. I do notice that most of the hair loss occurs in the shower, when I'm using my chlorine-removal shampoo. I know that mine is a tough problem to diagnose, but I would appreciate any help available.
Thanks, I love your magazine by the way. 2012 is my 5th year having a subscription!!

hey! so this is really weird, but sometimes when i run my hands thru my hair, it feels like i have really tiny pimples on my scalp. im really confused about what this might be, is it like my conditioner or shampoo or something? ???
PLZZZ answer soon!!!!! Thanks!

Hey girl! Don't worry too much, my first guess would be pimples, but I'd definitely show your mom or dad and talk to them about it! Then if you're still concerned see the doctor! xoxo

Mod. Mod. Mod. ModMod. Mod. Mod. Mod. Plzzzzzz answer. So I'm half black and half Dominican well my hair is semi straight I went to a hair Salan a Dominican one and they straighten it but I have a friend she is Dominican and her. Hair is full and thick so is mine but I was wondering how can I get this of my mind about her having better hair then me

Hey chica! Embrace your hair as it is, wanting someone else's hair won't do you any good! Just remind yourself that your hair is part of who you are. Besides, I bet there s something about you that she wishes she had (your skin tone, your legs, or your killer smile). Everyone has different parts of them that are awesome, so remind yourself of yours when you're feelin' the hair envy. xoxo

Eating healthy foods, exercise and getting your hair trimmed regularly all help hair grow faster. Check out this post for more tips! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/10/13/Hair-Today-Gone-Tomorrow.aspx

Hey bubblerain, mhmm I would try to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Maybe the lack of sunlight will make the black come back into your hair. Hope this helps! Xoxo

dear mod
i really wanna grow out my hair so i can donate to kids who dont have any, but my hair wont grow!! do have any suggestions on how to make my hair grow faster and healthier.thank youu

Hey girlie,

There's no way to speed up the growth, unfortunately. Just eat healthy and try not to put stress on it by using hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, etc. Be patient and it'll be long enough soon!

my hair falls out a lot. is there a special treatment for this???

We all lose a lot of hair every day, most likely this is not even a serious issue. But otherwise, head on over to a doc!

My hair wont do anything!!! I have super thick curlie blonde hair and I cant straighten it for special events and I can curl it in ringletts but it isnt as nice ans my hair straightened with a small french braid in the front. Any Ideas??

Hey babe!

I think the best thing you can do since you can't straighten it is to use styles that accentuate your curly hair. Why don't you french braid all of your hair, or make like Taylor Swift and let your curls run wild?
