I am a 15 year old boy and my hairs are falling I am worried about it what should I do?
This is pretty much an ordinary condition to every males once they enter into puberty, and with very high probability, the major cause is due to the hydrated version of the testosterone (DHT) in your body. There is hardly any safe or easy way to escape from DHT-induced hair-loss. But remember that hair-fall has to be controlled, even though it can't be avoided. The following steps helps to reduce hair fall:LEVEL-I: Give care for your hair1) Ensure that the hair-fall is not due to any other reason such as dandruff/chlorinated or poor quality water/pollution etc. You are the best person to diagnose this. If any of these is the reason, work out on this to avoid them. 2) Avoid using shampoos that has too much chemicals. It will kill your hair, and accelerates hair-loss. Anti-dandruff shampoos can be used at times, if suffering from dandruff. 3) Massage hair using ayurvedic/herbal oils once in two days. Wash your hair at least once in two days, with good quality water.4) Do not always think of your hair/hairloss. Thoughts about hair-loss increases rate of hair-loss.5) Reduce the causes of tension in life. Tension increases hair-loss rate. Give yourself time to exercise, sleep, and chill-out.LEVEL-II: Use biotin tablets6) Tablets that contains biotin such as Keraglo-men, which helps in hair growth can be used, if necessary. This can improve your situation. These are just vitamin tablets, and have no side effects.LEVEL-III: Inhibit your hormones (not recommended)7) This is a hard step. Consult a hair specialist. If you are having too much loss, then he might advice to use Minoxidil-based oil on your scalp or give finasteride tablets. But I do not advice this method, as it creates very bad side effects. Minoxidil is not a permanent solution to hairfall. Once you stop it, your hair will start to fall again. Finasteride inhibits the DHT formation, which might affect many of your bodily functions. And also, you are too young for this.LEVEL-IV: Direct Hair Implant8) This is a bit costly, but much safer and effective way to hair-loss. Hair cells from the scalp in the back side of your head is taken, and implanted to the positions in your head, affected by male pattern baldness. But you are too young for this. This is a close-to-permanent and very effective solution to hair-fall.Remember, there is always a solution if there is a problem. Cheer up and enjoy life.PS: The answer is primarily for males.
Hair feels stiff and matted?
Try rinsing your hair for a longer time, From the description you gave, it sounds like the conditioner isn't being completely washed out. Good luck! :)
What do I do with my nappy hair? And what can help my hair grow?
Hmmmm, I love my short, "nappy," hair. Your hair most likely has more than one texture/type, which is why the front and back are different. The back of my hair is extremely curly and the crown moving forward, center is looser and silky smooth. But, I don't know what my hair texture/type is because it's constantly changing since I cut off my relaxed hair last year. If your hair is breaking off then that's the reason why it's still so short. If you're just impatient about hair growth then your just going to become frustrated. Hair grows on average 1/2 inch per month, or 6 inches per year. So, your best bet regarding longer hair is to be patient because nothing can make it grow faster because hair growth is pre-determined by your genes, but most probably fall within the average. You don't seem to be open to any hairstyles because you seem to hate them all. Constantly using heat can irreversibly damage your hair. Using chemicals as strong as relaxers could be much worse for your hair. In fact, I never understood those people who have a lot of breakage from relaxers, go natural to grow their hair, and then when it's long enough they relax it only to have breakage again.... If you want a simple hairstyle then keep it short. My hair is 3 1/2 - 4 inches long and I keep it in a curly fro with cute headbands, and I'm just waiting for it to get bigger so I do some cute puffs. I spend less than five minutes on it a day and maybe 40 minutes one day a week detangling. I mainly do wash n goes. You have to find products that will define your natural curls/coils, and having hair that's in a healthy state will make this easier. There are many curl defining creams on the market. http://forum.blackhairmedia.com http://www.nappturality.com http://www.motowngirl.com
