#HR051 - Wispy hairs at hairline
Ever since I can remember my hair has had these wispy parts
up front. I have a picture from when I was a kid (eleven) where these wisps of hair
weren't there, and they were actually grown out. But now it's like this, and its
been like this for a long time, it never grows out or anything... and nothing I do helps
it. Do you have ANY idea why my hair has been like this? And why won't it grow out again
like normal hair breakage? It always ruins whatever hairstyle I pick. - Shani, Canton
>> Answer
#HR051 - Wispy hairs at hairline
These are immature, undeveloped hairs, usually occuring at
puberty, and is generally genetic and hormonal. As you reached puberty, you actually got
more "hairy" and the lower growth tapers off to the fine hairs you see. It's
commonly seen in low hairlines especially with a widow's peak, and you seem to have both.
You may also have some "fuzz" around the "sideburn" areas, too.
Unfortunately, you may have to wait until menopause to see if it goes away ( that's when
the hair moves to the lip :). I don't think it's bad enough to have your hormone levels
checked unless you also have a lot of facial hair and heavy body hair.
Other causes are from pulling the hair back tight in a
ponytail all the time, and another cause is a receeding hairline. Neither apply to you.
You will have to learn to work around it because your only option is electrolysis to raise
your hairline up to the mature hair. And you don't want to do that. That is reserved for
the truly hirsute. You might check with a dermatologist to see if they have any new magic
for you situation. - Ed

#HR054 - Pink to Purple Hair - Recoloring
I had my hair colored pink all over. I had my roots re-done
yesterday. The salon used prevona magneta. The problem is where I already had the pink now
looks purple. Is there anything I can do at home for this? If not, how soon can I color it
back to brown? - Priscilla, Nashville
>> Answer
#HR054 - Pink to Purple Hair - Recoloring
Go back & complain to the person who did your hair. As
far as re-coloring, waiting is only for the scalp to readjust. The hair that has been
colored is not going to get any "healthier" by waiting. You need a professional
to assess the strength of your previously colored hair before recoloring.

#HR055 - Hair Relaxer
I put a Soft & Beautiful relaxer in my hair but forgot
to put the hydration oil in it. Will my hair fall out? - Shuree, Des Moines
>> Answer
#HR055 - Hair Relaxer
No, your hair will not fall out. The Triple Hydration Oil
is to protect the hair from any damage from the chemicals used in the relaxer. Your hair
won't be as soft and conditioned as it should have been, but it won't fall out. You need
to be careful of hot hair dryers and anything that damages hair. You might treat your hair
with the Soft & Beautiful Botanicals Styling and Treatment product to mitigate any
damage that might have occured during the relaxing treatment, and help strengthen it. - JP

<< Question #HR056 - Hair Color Correction
About 6 months ago I dyed my natural sandy blond hair a
dark cherry coke color, now I am stuck with 4 inches of sandy blond roots and the rest
orangish, redish, brassy color. I went to a hair salon they wanted to charge lots of money
to color correct. Help! What should I do? Pay the money to lighten my hair, bleach it, or
just stay this 2 toned mess until I can cut my hair off and get it back to natural color?
- Stephanie, Youngstown
>> Answer
#HR056 - Hair Color Correction
Either just wait and let it grow out, or PAY THE MONEY and
have the color correction done professionally. Do Not attempt to do any color correcting
yourself. You don't want to simply lighten it or bleach it--it will get even more
"orange." You want color correction, to try get it as close to your
real color as possible. Even a toner on the colored portion may help. But it all needs to
be done professionally and by a technician that specializes in color
correction. - ED, San Diego

#HR057 - Female Chest Hair
I'm 16 years old. I have hair on my breasts. It's very
visible with bikini tops. I'm terrified to have sex. Is there a way it can be removed? -
Jane, Louisana
>> Answer
#HR057 - Female Chest Hair
There are some good hair removal creams you could try (even the guys are using it to
remove chest hair). Waxing products will remove it, but the drawback is...you have to wait
for it to grow back some before you can remove it again, and it really hurts. You really
should be thinking about permanent hair removal down the line, and that would be laser
hair removal. Expensive and time-consuming, but eventually well worth it. See also #HR026

#HR058 - Haircolor for green eyes olive skin
What hair color would look best on me? I have naturally
like ash brown hair, green eyes, warm/yellow tone light skin, and some freckles. I like
red, blonde, and dark brown hair colors. What would work best for me?
- Shelly, Huntington Beach
>> Answer
#HR058 - Haircolor for green eyes olive skin
Chestnut Brown. Excellent with green eyes and olive
(yellow) skin. Not too dark, but dark enough to bring out your green eyes, and not so red
as to look dyed. Remember to change your eyebrow pencil color to match your new darker,
reddish hair. If you want it dark, but more red, go Medium Auburn Brown.

#HR059 - Coloring Previously Colored Hair
My hair is naturally dark brown, I'm in the process of
going blonde. Have been to the salon twice, but now I'm changing my mind can they color
dark over bleach without all my hair falling out? - Suzanne, White Lake
>> Answer
#HR059 - Coloring Previously Colored Hair
Yes, a professional can do that nicely. They may first
pre-treat your hair to make it stronger. Hair never actually falls out. It can "melt
down" and break off. But that usually only happens if hair has been over-bleached
many times, or done by an amateur - Ed
