I lost my hair and now I am depressed :.(?!


Question: I lost my hair and now I am depressed :.(?
my mother's idiot hairstylist permed my hair causing damage among other things (said it wasn't going to damage my hair and TO DO IT)!, I spent four years growing my hair out painfully after having my mother cut my hair like man's. It was down to the middle of my back-waist and I had to cut it all off at home. My hair is so damaged I am going to have to get it cut like a man's once again in the next few weeks when my mom has money, she should get a refund but no she "likes" the girl so she isn't even complaining to the manager. my head and scalp is burnt and it looks like pizza acne on my forehead, I cannot leave the house. My hair is falling out and it doesn't even look like hair... not even a little. It is unrecognizable.
I have spent the last 2 days feeling the worst feeling in my stomach I have ever had. I have spent the last 48 hours awake and in bed crying. I am starting public school in the next few weeks and I am hideous. I have been waiting for this moment of my life for 7 years to go to public school and I am going to be practically bald.
HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS FEELING WITHOUT LITERALLY KILLING MYSELF. anything you guys... anything.

Answers:

I think your mom needs to take you to a dermatologist if your scalp is burned. A dermatologist can determine how bad it is, and possibly a way to treat it. The burn from the perm is probably what's causing your hair to fall out. Until it starts to grow back you'll just have to put on a brave face and go with it. Maybe you could wear a sporty cap. Lot's of girls do that. I do sympathize with you. I had to take medication 2 years ago that caused about 60% of my long hair to fall out. It was awful, but I still had to get up and go to work every day. Just remember it will grow back, and everyday it's growing brings you closer to having hair you can style again. Just hang in there. If I was your mom I'd be worried since burns like that are nothing to fool around with.



U look beautiful in that picture if that's u, I'm sure you can pull off a short cut for a while I would at least tell the lady that did ur hair that the dye she used is crap and just eat alot of protein it will grow out faster, don't worry about ur looks so much everyone looks like crap every now and then



sweetheart --- it will grow back --- and i know you are down --- but you need to pick yourself up --- there will be bigger challenges in your life ahead --- you are not " robinson crusoe " --- everyone goes through a bad time --- keep your chin up --- good luck



awww. sorry for that.
you could use a wig.
because you can't actually grow your hair back fast.
you can't do anything to turn it back again so it's no use crying..



I think you should go to another hairdresser to get some proffessional advice..tell them that you are starting high school, and you want to change your hairstyle ASAP.
All the best :)



Heredity, hormones, stress, diet, illness, poor hair care – all are factors in hair loss.

Stress, diet and illness are more temporary conditions and usually the hair loss is reversed when the anxiety-producing conditions dissipate, when the diet is improved, when hair care improves and when an illness is cured or gotten under control.

Heredity and hormones are different matters, however. Heredity is an irreversible condition. You are a product of your parents, and hair loss is often inherited. Hormones are tricky, hidden things, however, and they have different effects on an individual basis.

In a male, testosterone abides abundantly. There are also enzymes working on testosterone which product a substance called DHT. DHT is now known to circulate in the blood and cause other conditions, one of which is the shrinking of hair follicles. When hair follicles shrink enough, they are unable to produce and push a new hair through. As old hair dies, it is then not replaced.

In women, hormonal imbalances can also cause hair loss. Pregnancy, childbirth and menopause all cause significant hormonal change and imbalances with both physical and mental effects. These changes can also cause hair loss, both temporary and permanent.

Hair loss and re-growth products have been around for centuries. In ancient times, a variety of herbal and oil-based remedies were concocted and used by Egyptians, Aztecs, Mayans, and American Indians, all with some degree of effectiveness for some people. Modern medical research has focused on ways to re-open and stimulate “dead” hair follicles, so that hair growth can re-occur naturally, as well as keep the healthy follicles healthy. Thus, a number of products have become available, both by prescription and over-the-counter. They are advertised on radio and television and all over the Internet. One need only do a “google” search on hair loss, and there are literally thousands of sites and products for investigation.

One ingredient in many hair loss products is minoxidil. Research studies have shown that in about 80% of the participants, products containing this ingredient are effective in slowing hair loss and, in some, causing re-growth to occur.

Probably the most well known is Rogaine, available at any drug store, in varieties for both men and women. Most scientifically-produced products do have separate products for males and females, because, of course, hormones in each are different and of different levels.

An additional product containing minoxidil is Provillus, and, again, studies have shown it to be effective. The difference between Provillus and other similar products is that the makes have added Azelaic Acid, an additional ingredient which appears to enhance the follicle repair in both men and women. Provillus has been the subject of many studies, just as the other products, and level of effectiveness may be higher.

Provillus is available for both men and women, and the treatment is a combination of a topical liquid applied to the balding areas, as well as a pill or capsule to be taken in conjunction with the liquid. The critical key to effectiveness, according to its makers, is the addition of the azelaic acid, however, the correct amount of this acid is most important piece of this treatment.

As with most hair loss products, the makers recommend patience. It may take from 3-6 months for improvement to occur, however, there is a money-back guarantee up to 180 days if one is not satisfied that it is working for him/her.

Medical research is far from finished in its exploration of products which will stop hair loss and promote re-growth of “permanent” loss. As this research continues, existing producers will undoubtedly alter their products accordingly.

Fortunately, a lot of money is being poured into the research, so hair loss sufferers, take heart!
