Life/death issue, I need help!?!


Question: Okay I am 13, 5'5", and 85 pounds. The highest I ever weighed was last summer at 93 pounds. Now that I weigh so little, I have noticed my hair is dry, frizzy, and has no shine at all. Could it be my lack in nutrients causing my hair to become like this?

Maybe it means you just naturally have dry, frizzy hair with no shine at all. I was 13 a few years ago and weighed less and my hair was fine. Then again, I'm naturally skinny and it doesn't seem like you are, so maybe you should just shove a sandwich down your throat and accept the fact that you can't hide your true body without looking hideous. BTW, if you keep starving yourself, your skin will lose its glow, if it had any, your eyes will receive dark circles and your nails won't have any nutrients.

how is this life or death? uh i doubt it try new shampoos! buy more expensive ones!

Yes, lack of certain vitamins can cause your hair to do this. Start taking a daily woman's vitamin everyday.

Very probaably - you are underweight for your height - if you lose any more weight you are in danger of affecting your fertility - either your periods will stop or you wont start. Ideally you should be 2 stone heavier. 93 pounds would do nicely for starters.
Try taking some vitamin supplements and eating well - it is not attractive to be too thin.

Yes. Your hair problem can be caused from lack of nutrients, hair, nails, skin, eyes, and mouth are some of the first things to show signs of something wrong going on in our bodies. However you may just need vitamins or to change your diet. DO NOT START THESE UNTIL YOU CONSULT YOUR PRIMARY DR. also your weight could be normal for you some people are just naturally petite, but if your weight is 85 pounds because of an eating disorder then yes you are lacking nutrients because of that.

Put some weight on and try a new shampoo.
If you straightnen your hair, this could also damage it and make it dry.

well if you eat rubbish food or none at all, most likely. If you eat completely healthily, its just your hair and just get a better conditioner.

When you lose a lot of weight you can sometimes lack the healthy fats your hair needs to stay healthy. Also if you take prenatal vitamins it will help your hair and nails grow faster and healthier. Healthy fats are things like avocado, almonds, or other nuts.
You can put hair masks on your hair, if you look up DIY masks- it's been a while since I have done that but- egg whites if you put it in your hair the protein makes it really shiny. My friends and I in high school used that trick to keep our hair curly too. You just mix the egg whites with your some of your hair gel (no more than you will use that day or keep it in the fridge) and scrunch it in when your hair is wet. As long as you don't use too much or leave it in for more than a day you are fine. I wouldn't recommend testing this out on a day you have school! Just incase you put too much in! But you can just use a shower cap and soak your hair for a couple hours. (Mayo works too but smells awful!!)

ya eat a doughnut. haha but you should eat more and make sure its healthy foods! because if you are too skinny, you will be unattractive.

You know, I see that you do really need help. On several other girls' questions I've noticed your name just because of your spiteful, mean answers- you've called girls fat left and right. So what if you weight 85 pounds, you're still fat and ugly on the inside.

being 40 pounds underweight could have something to do with it...

EDIT: BreZSmile is me hero. you are a little... or a lot.... mean to some of the young girls on here who have low self esteem to begin with. oh and btw im doing everything i can to get your account deleted

about your answer to my question about Gardasil: i am not a slutty whore, I am a virgin, and I am getting Gardasil now because u can't get it when you're an adult! I bet you're the slut, u anorexic bitc*h!

Wow, 85 pounds? You must be one stupid, ugly, pimply whore.
Sorry, but this really needed to be said.
Imposter.
