Hey Tyra,
My name is Rebekah. I will be 20 years old next month. Everyone tells me I have beautiful curly hair, but you know they really don't know how hard it is to wash it, and comb throught it. During the day like most girls when im in class, i can't take a brush and just comb through, if i did, then it will look like ive been sturck with lighting. Goodness i feel for my 6 month old daughter. Please Tyra help me with my curl frizz. Im getting married may 3,2008. It would be a dream come true for me and my fiance to see me with straight silky hair.

Tyra, I'm A white girl &
I have oily very thin hair. My ends are dry but my roots get oily. I have to wash my hair eveyday just to keep my hair clean looking not oily. I tried babypowder and most other lil' tricks, but nothing works for me. I would love to have oil free thicker looking hair. What can I do Tyra?

as a 13 year old girl with FRIZZY curly hair.. my life at school has been filled with torment. my hair has a life of its own and despite all the products i have tried on my hair to keep down the frizz and keep the curl, my hair just poofs up! people will call me the frizz monster or put there hands up around there head and walk around mimicking me. ive gone to tons of salons asking for hair help, but the products they suggest work for a day and then never again. my mom and i have spent so much money on my hair and now we are giving up. i know im not the only curly haired person going through this.. but it is hard going through school like this. anyways, i would just like to say i love your shows and ive tried everything you've said about beauty remedies and i just love you

hi tyra rite now i have the worst hair in the world typically because i chose to i had long relaxed hair and decided to go natural im in the transition process right now, when i saw this page on google i had to post a message because i knew i would find afro-ameriacn women on this page who cant accept who they are God gave you that hair and instead of turning yourself to another science experiment try and find natural products that work with your hair.
What really offended me and hurt me was the woman who wanted the wavy white hair like all the white girls, what is america becomin to theze days lookin as white as you can?
I find it absolutley disgustin if you call yourself black and find your hair to disguist you my view is please, get psycological help now i think they should offer some kind of therapy to black to accept who they are, think of the next generation are we going to raise generations of children cursed to being ulgy having frizzy hair, flat noses, big lips anymore, if thats the case we black people should not have children anymore and completley make our genes disapear from the earth completley, that way we wont have to keep altering our hideous features anymore.
Tyra i will be emotinally hurt if you hand these women another chemical, or straitghtener to correct this perfection of non straight hair, what happened to the afro power and black beauty,
I am only 16 years old i dont have the channek with your show on anymore so if u are haviing an episode on this i will not be able to see you, but keep it in mind every strand you shall straighten and evry scalp you are going to burn wit that lye - is scarring another little black girl out there making her realise how unatractive society views her and what she should do to correct herself, take you celebrities for example you and the media take part in makin us view ourselfa as being ugly.

Tyra,
its not me with the bad hair and look, its my mom. shes in her early 40's so she really shouldn't look as old as she does. her hair is just a wreck, i've tried so many times to help her do something with it but she just complains that she doesn't have the time or money. she has naturally curly hair but she doesn't flaunt it at all. its frizzy and dry looking and shes starting to get some grey. i just think that if my mom was able to do something great with her hair, she can start to look great and young again. also, she has THE worst taste in clothes, she wears the same thing almost everyday and wears my old sneakers that are beat up looking. PLEASE help my mom, it would really mean alot. she's so hardworking and doesn't even really care about herself, she does everything for her family and has no time for herself. it would mean the world if you could please help her.

Hey Tyra. I'm 14 and my hair is frizzy dry, and thick. My friends always complain about me wearing my hair in a ponytail. The reason why i wear it in one is because it frizzes up, and it looks like a nightmare if i let my hair down. So if you have any tips for me, thanks.

Hi Tyra, my name is Marlena and I have it bad. I mean my hair has it bad, so bad that stylist charge me extra once they have done my hair. It's not a cut, it's not even frizz, it's that my hair is very compact or thick. I have to have a relaxer at least once a month to comb my hair without breaking a comb.While I was pregnate with all the extra vitamins I got to the point where I had to relax my hair every week. It's so bad, can you HELP ME?

Okay Tyra first of all im your biggest fan no joke but its not me who has the hair problem its my dads girlfriend Athena i consider her my 2nd mom and i really want to do something nice and HELPFUL for her see her hair is naturally blonde but she has dyed it red and her hair is really curly and frizzy and yucky actually her overall look is horrible she is really short shes a little twig and all her clothes are baggy on her because shes so little she shops in little girl clothes and her and my dad are having trouble paying bills because Athena can't get a job because she looks bad! and pretty soon they're going to need some extra money because Athena will be getting custody of her 2 sons and right now my little sis sierra is with them and my dads job doesn't pay much and Athena could really use a job everyone would appreciate it if she could have a makeover if we cant get her looking good they are going to be desperate for money tyra im only 12 but nobody else has thought of something like this please choose Athena

Tyra, my hair looks crazy. when you touch it, it feels like grass. After evry retouch, it is okey but come two-three weeks later, I just cannot keep it lookin the way it was. Even when I try to grow my hair, I always have to end up cutting it short. I know a woman's glory is her hair and my glory never shines, So Tyra please hook your African sister up.

HELP!!! My hair is bi-racial, some pieces are straight, some are nice spiral curls, and others our just out of control. I have tried so many different kinds of hair products, and none of them seem to work. They either make my hair look plastered to my head or they do absolutly nothing. My hair looks best when I straighten it, but I have 2 kids and usually can not find 2 hours of spare time to do it. I have been to the salon several time and had my hair relaxed and cut into a style that seems easily managable, but it never looks as good as when they do it. I live in Kansas City where the humidity is high and surprise rain storms are not uncommon. The weather can be torturous!! Tyra, I need your help finding the perfect style and product that I can easily duplicate on my own.

It just recently got back to it normal length.Its totaly damaged from all that. I also cut my hair really short and I'v been wanting to grow it out long and everything that I have tried did not work. I want my hair to grow out . Tyra is there anything afordable that i could use or do to make my hair grow and alos keep it from braking from all the strightening I have done???? I have always loved your hair. Tell me what you do to keep it looking the way it is.
MAHALO.

hey bud;
I have some pretty brutal hair. My natural hair was really poofy, frizy and it was curly, but you couldnt see the curls through the frizz. So I got my hair chemically straightened. It worked wonders the first time, but when I got it done the second time, it ruined my hair. My hair fell out along my main hairline going back, the very front, and underneath. Now, its grown back about 2 or 3 inches, so all the hair that fell out, it now extremly short. Now I have to straighten my hair everytime I wash it, because if i dont I have about 3 inches of crazy curly frizzy hair, then it just falls down straight. And since I straighten it so much, its so damaged, and the ends are really dead and split.
-Much Love;

Hey Tyra! HELP HELP! My daughter is mixed with Hispanic and African American.She is a beautiful little girl but her hair is a mess. And I know that she is self concious about it and it breaks my heart to see her like that at age 6. Her hair is long,curly,freezy, tangily, poofy,dry as the dessert, and course! I have tried and tried to style it the best way that I can, but I'm not doing a good job of it. She always wears pony tails or braids, and she would love it if I would leave her hair down sometimes like the "other girls" and I explain to her that her hair isn't like mine or the other little girls in school. I know she doesn't understand. I would love it if you could give me some pointers to help me manage her hair and make it look good. She has the prettiest curls when it's wet but it dries up so fast and starts to poof out. We both need your help. Please give us some advice. We will be very thankful with any advice that you have for us. Thanks a lot! I enjoy your show very much.

Dear Tyra,
Biracial hair has to be the worst! People can be biracial and have many diffrent hair types. I recently went on a website and they had many diffrent hair types up for biracial people. My hair was not there. It was not one of the 1-5 numbers, but "The exception". My hair is frizzy, poofy and down right out of control. I walk down the street and see all of the white girls with their perfect straight hair, or thick curly hair and I wish I had it too. I try using the straighting iron, but it becomes a hassle every morning because I dont have enough time before school to get up, take a shower, do my hair, get dressed, eat, check my homework and get in the car in one hour! I don't know what I'm going to do any more!

Mrs. Tyra,
As a women of color, it more than a pleasure to see an African American women, pushing her power around. I wanna not only praise you for the work you've done, but for whatever blessing yet to accomplish.
Tyra, I come to you not wanting to be America's Next Top Model, or sit and be a guest on the "TyraBanks Show." I am a 30 year old hoping to get some knowledge on Fashion dealing mostly with Hair and Makeup.
Since the age of 6, I've need some type of hair therapy. I come from a family where a relative has alopecia. Most relative has shoulder length hair, something I dream about. Of course my hair is coarse and looks similar to wool or cotton without a perm. At which I haven't had in about 5 years, because it makes my hair very, very thin. As a child a few of my auntie's tried whatever they could to help me. Beautyshops, braids, perms, weaves - no matter what my hair would never come out looking anything like it should. Tyra, I need help, hope, and prayer... Then I have to deal with Vitalgo on the left sideof my face, you know that mysterious diease that Michael Jackson has. I have had it for about 15 years, now. My self-esteem has went way out the window since Vitalgo, no matter how much a person could say I am pretty, or my boyfriend calling me sexy. Really I wish I had a picture just to show you, but of course I don't like taking them. I have used various makeup for coverage. Fashion Fair was the 90's now it's all about MAC. My problem may be quite easy to resolve, but I would like to be able to take a picture one day and feel pretty (normal). Without an uneven skin color tone in the picture. Am I applying too much? What is it? I guess my question to the Queen would be what am I doing wrong with my hair and makeup?
HELP!! THANK YOU

Hey Tyra! I have long, very thick, curly hair. Actually, my hair is curlier in the back then it is on the sides. I hate going to the salon because they complain about how thick my hair is and say it is too curly in the back. I can't wear my hair down because it frizzes...especially living in a high humidty place. I have tried straightening it and it turns my head into a pyramid. I have tried frizzing creams, tried gel. I don't blow dry my hair. I have to comb my hair in the shower with conditioner in it. Please help me find a style that won't give me a fro or bob!

Hi Tyra, well my problem isn't that my hair is to frizzy,curly, puffy or just everywhere. My problem is that it's falling out. I'm 18 years old and I have half the amount hair as I did when I was 16, thats when it started. I take a shower and it just comes out. Every week the drain gets clogged. My hair falls out on my pillow, I find it on my coat. My dad is partly bald and I dont want to look like that, I have a boyfriend I have dating for 2 years and I know he loves me for me but I want my hair back. So if there is anyway you could help I would be most greatful.
Thanks Tyra,
~Sarah

Tyra, I am an African American woman. Everytime I straighten my hair, it gets fluffy again after about 10 minutes. Do you know what I can put in it to make it not frizz up. What do you put in your hair besides hair weave. Do you use any special products to make your hair stronger. Please Help Me!!!

Tyra, I really enjoyed your show today with Janet Jackson. I think both of you are beautiful inside and out. I was especially interested in your question to Janet regarding weaves. And, I loved the curly hairdo you showed Janet where you were trying to copy her curly hairdo. My girlfriend and I have a birthday coming up on Aug. 24 and 22, respectively, and I would love it if you could have your hairstylist give us the curly weave style that you and Janet wore. I would sit for 24 hrs. to achieve the beauty of a weave like yours and Janet. This would be a dream come true for me as I will be going to Paris on Sept. 12 to attend my nephew's wedding and would like to have a hairstyle that would make me look and feel FABULOUS! Please get back to me to let me know if this dream can become a reality. If not, love you anyway and bless you for all you do, stand for and demonstrate on the Tyra Show.

Dear Trya,
I am an African American woman. I am able to straighten my hair, but when I do straighten it, it takes 10 minutes before it puffs up again. Do you know any prduct that I can put in my hair to help it stay straight. I would also like to protect my hair from breaking by making it strong. I straighten my hair before school, but when I get to school it's a lot puffier than when I left my house. I tried anti-frizz but it doesn't work. Please help me!!!

I have the worst hair, it's not curly and not straight, it is frizzy, especially on humid days, but not only on humid days. If I do not blowdry my hair smooth, it blows up into this ugly and weird frizzle. It feels hard, just like horse hair or straw. There is no way that my hair would not look funny if I washed it and left it to dry. People have commented on it too.
It's terrible and I am sure there is no cure.

FIrst of all, I am a African American woman who has thining hair and bald spots due to excessive braiding. Could you suggest a good hair treatment for thining and balding spots. I would also like if you could recommend good conditioner where you can sit under the dryer.

Hey Tyra!
My hair is not America's worse, but it's pretty close! My hair is dirty blonde, naturally wavy, but EXTREMELY frizzy! It's so bad, that I have nicknames such as "fuzzhead" and "frizzy". Even though I know that the nicknames aren't meant to be mean, but they hurt me after being said hundreds of time-mostly by my sisters. I have tried straightening it-it helps a little, but I mostly rely on defrizzer products that get rid of about 1/2 of the frizz. I went to a salon, and she showed me how to use a diffuser, and gave me products to make my hair not frizzy (which work well, btw). But...they just make my hair HARD (like when you use way too much hair spray), and when I brush my hair out the next day-it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do so! Curling my hair with a curling iron makes my hair REALLY pretty-but the curls come out within 30 minutes, and my hair becomes it's usual poofy self. My hair is really damaged too, and a lot comes out when i wash my hair or comb it. I've tried everything-all I want is nice, healthy, shiny, smooth hair that I can run my fingers through. Please send advice Tyra!
Thanks so much!

Hey Tyra,
I'm 15 years old, and I've been struggling with difficult hair ever since I was in 3rd grade. I am half Hawaiian, so my hair has always been thick. I am also half British on my Mom's side. So I have that hair advantage usually as well. Here's my story, in the complete and honest truth. No exaggerations, etc. My hair was ok until I started hanging out with a girl who dyed her hair a lot, and got me into it. When I first dyed my hair my Mom was deeply against it and warned me it would make my hair frizzy. In which it did. That very same year in 3rd grade, there was a girl who kept calling me names like "fuzzy wuzzy was a bear" and she would not stop until my Mom had to contact the principle of the school. 4th grade was alright, I just pulled my hair back in a pony tail or braids. When I started 5th grade I dyed my hair again, yet again to my Mothers disapointment. Then through 6th, 7th, 8th, and this year when I was in 9th, I was figuring out how to tame my frizzy hair. My Mom isn't very rich, but she got me a hair straigtener last year, once again to her disaproval. She said in the most caring way ever "honey, I only bought this for you to make you happy, but I think you're going to fry your hair so please do not use it!" but I did. For the past two months I have been straightening my hair without any protection from the heat every three days. Then I noticed it was thinning my hair out. I am too afraid to tell my Mom what's going on and how depressed it's making me. I know she won't get mad or anything like that because she is the most caring Mother in the world and I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm just afraid to tell her because I don't want to worry her with my hair anymore than I already have. Plus, I was a very uncontrolable child as I was growing up (up until 6th grade is when I became very classy and loving to my Mother more than ever. I was always loving to her, but I was one of those kids who "if I don't get my way, it's the highway", and I've been nice and pleasant to be around to everyone) Anyway, I don't know what to do. I can't even tell my Mom what's going on with my hair. May 15th was my birthday, and the day after I was completely depressed. My Mom comes in and makes sure I'm tucked in at night and tells me "sweet dreams, I love you!" and I say it back to her, but I was crying so bad because of my hair situation I couldn't speak, so I just said "k.." very quitely. She then asked "are you ok?" and I said "yeah." but I wasn't. For the next two days I was very depressed, and my Mom took notice and tried comforting me, even though I would not tell her what was wrong. I am still very depressed over this, but I don't want to affect the people around me, so I've been acting happy and I am happy some of the time, but not always. I'd say it's 50/50 with my happiness and sadness. Then I was watching your show the other day with those women who deserved those make overs, and you said at the end you would do it again. This brought the first real smile to my face in the first 4 or 5 days. I think this is the only way I can tell my Mom what's happening to my hair without being in complete embarrassment. I also think that if you can help me, this is the only way I can boost my self esteem and happiness. So please, Tyra, help me. It would mean so much to me!

Hi, Tyra. I would love to see a show that glorifies all textures and types of hair. As an African American woman whois trying to go natural, I've spoken to many other girls like me, young and old and they all had something negative to say about the choice i was making. Another part in that is the self hate that african american girls undergo when they see women with strait or wavy hair on televison or in the high end magazines and the women they should be relating to have curly hair that looks nothing like theirs. Pleas do a show that lets girls like me feel good about their nappiness.

Dear Tyra, My hair is out of control! I have natrually Curly hair and i
straighten it all the time! Problem... It's frying my hair even thought
its a ceramic straightener. I have tried using that permming hair straight
stuff that you get from Wal-Mart, haha.. It doesnt do anything for my
hair... When i keep my hair curly.. Its all frizzy and doesnt look cute
cause they are very tight curls and my hair is VERY! thick. So i try to
pound gel and hairspray in it so there is no friz, but then it just looks
stupid and like i just got out of the shower. No matter what i do my hair
looks dead or goupy (spelling). I dont know what to do because it also
takes me an hour or so to straighten my hair and its a waste of time in
the summer because te hmidity just curlys my hair back up! I dont know
what to do, my hairs rediculous. I need your help ASAP. Please.

Dear Tyra,
I do enjoy your show.It's different to me for some reason. I was watching one of your programs and you mentioned you had this posting for bad hair days.
Well I think I've had one of the worst. I'm going to be 52 and still have alot of hair. It's naturally curly and thick. One day about 10 years ago My sister and I were going to work. It was very dark and there was no moon light. We had to deliver some product to a customer so my Sister Christine got off and I stayed in the car. When she came back she was laughing so hard, I asked her whats so funny she said " the woman inside asked me what kind of dog do you have in your car and I told her it's not a dog it's my sister!
I'm sure for the woman it must have been one of her most embarrasing moments. She apologized but was very embarrassed. For my sister and I it was very funny we laughed all the way to work. I was a little embarrased myself at first but after I just realized how blessed I was having all this hair. I see so many women with thinning hair and I feel so sorry for them, some almost look like they're going bald.
Thank you for letting me share my story

Dear Tyra,
i love my hair curly hair but it is TOO curly at times and can be hard to tame. i'm a mixture of korean and african american and there is absolutely no salon that can cut my hair the way i want it so i so far i've just let it grow really long. i need a product that can just go in my hair and call it a day. i always knew that i'd get up early in the morning to get all cute for school but it can take over hour to do my hair. what 16 year old wants to break up their sleep schedule..not me at least. i like just throwing it up in a bun but even then people ask me if i put it in two buns because i have so much hair. i mean even if i want to wear it in a ponytail it's a hassle. To tame my hair i have twirl every strand around my finger. After i put in my conditioner and it's soaking wet. then after i do all the twirling around my head i spray gallons and gallons of hairspray so that it will hold. if i don't...lets just say i look DON KING. honestly what girl wants that. but to spend so much time and effort can get old really fast especially when my parents are in a rush to go out. i love my hair but it is just do difficult. it just really frustrates me that i can't do different type of hairstyles other than bun, ponytail or half up half down if im luck. the bun fine but spraying that with tons of hairspray can't be GOOD. on top of things i also have tried to straighten my hair which every hairstylist i've been to is like why and how...well i thought you know if amerie's hair can be straight and look nice than mine could do since were from the same ethnic background. it just be really cool if a salon or some hairstylist could go passing through my town..whose up there and knows how to work with my hair. i have yet to find a salon even close to helping my needs. And my poor mom is at lost for words because she doesn't know what to do. when i was in elementary i had to chop off my hair too my shoulders because there was too much hair that it just was a huge big knot that i couldn't untangle so my mom CUT IT OFF and SAVED IT!!! as a reminder. and it hasn't evened out since then. know its to my waist but its like layerd...but in a BAD way. trust me one can't layer my type of curly hair which a hairstylist tried and just made it worse. i mean you can't tell unless i put it in a high ponytail...which is NEVER. i just don't know what to do anymore i even tried mixedchicks hair products that worked the first time but after that my hair seemed to say no way girlfriend, you can't tame me. i don't know it just likes to rebel against anything. i just need to tame it. sometimes it can even start to get in my way during track and on top of it if i want to try and fix...the more i touch my hair it gets frizy and nasty. and people want to touch my hair and play with my curls all the time...they say it reminds them of spring since you can pull it really far away and then it will spring back in place. but the more they touch it the more it becomes IRRITABLE you could say... and i'm not going to freak out on people. o if you could help me i would it would be greatly appreciated. im really at a lost. especially right now that its getting hot if feel like cutting it all off since it seems to attract heat. Please help!!!!

I've got Trichotillomania and I have short hair..I think it's getting noticable but I only pull hair from the back so it's hard for me to tell. The left side is growing back nicely but the right side is getting bad. I love short hair so Im probly going to just shave it as soon as school gets out. I change my hair styles a lot and I have a style I really want in mind but I dont think I'd be able to pull it off. So if you have any tips, I'd love to hear them.
My mom's been sick though so I wouldn't want to stress her by making her travel..
Help?

Dear Tyra,
I was born with VERY curly brunette hair. I loved my hair, it reminded me of Shurley Temple. But, now that im grown my hair has lost its 'very curliness'style. And yes, that is a good thing. Im trying to go for straight hair, but Im not doing to well with that since it takes me about an hour to straighten it in the morning, and I dont have that time! Some times, well most, I keep my hair curly, but when I comb it my hair turns really frizzy and wavy and.. just picture an afro! Im afraid to brush it now, since I dont want to go looking like the next "Foxy Cleo Patra". I put my hair in buns, but Im missing my hair when its down. I CANT STAND HAVING MY HAIR IN THE SAME STYLE EVERYDAY! And if I do want my hair down, it needs to be wet, no acception, but when it dries up, thats a big UH-OH. Thats when my afro comes in.. Tyra help me with my ultra-frizzy hair problem please!!

Dear Tyra, I have an eight year old daughter whose hair is out of control.
First thing, she is bi-racial, am I am white, therefore I have no idea how to deal with her hair type. It is soft, very, very, very thick and curly. I am open to any kind of help that you can offer. She is a beautiful little girl, she just gets really frustrated when it comes to her hair. All she wants to do is put it up in a ponytail everyday!!!
I would appreciate any kind of help you can offer.
Thank You,

Tyra,
I am 25 years old cacausian female and have struggled with my hair since adolescence. My hair is in between curly and straight. It is very coarse and brittle which causes it to break off before it can grow. I have tried all products offered by salons. I am even interested in using African American products because my hair type is closer to texture. Please help me.

HI Tyra,
I have a little hair problem. I have curly hair that does not look good when kept untied and at the same time I dont like to tie them up. When I leave them open (which is wat I do most of the times) it fluffs up and at the end of the day when I comb them, I almost break most of them....help me please...
Thanks and Regards

Hey, this entry is for Brittany. I'm a bi-racial child too and i've found it really hard to find products and hair styles as well but just resenstly I found a product that i never in a million years thought would work. Basically it tames frizz and uncontrallable curls, but it doesnt take away the curl which is cool. Keep an open mind when i tell you the name, i never thought it would work either. It's called Garnier Fructis Style Brilliant Shine...i have the Extra Strong one.Give it a try if you want, hope it helps!

I am a beautiful natural redhead. But my hair is super thin and super fried. No matter what shampoo I use it stays the same. Not even people at the hair salon can give me advice. And I can't just blowdry my hair because it makes it all poofy and frizzy. I hate my hair so much but at the same time I just want it to be healthy so I can show off my lucious red locks. There's one thing though, I don't want to cut my hair because I like to keep it long. Please help me by any means.

Tyra,
I usually work during the day, but try to catch your show always when I'm home sick or with a day off.
My name is Lisa, and I am 46 years old. I am a victim of tricholtillimania. I say "victim", because NO ONE would choose to do what I do to myself if they could control it. It is a form of OCD which causes you to pull your hair out by the roots, leaving large, embarrassing bald spots. I started this about the time I hit puberty, so it caused me alot of heartache growing up. I wore my hair either pulled over the top of my head to cover the baldness, or wore a hat. Boys teased me, and wouldn't dare to date me, and girls didn't want to be seen with me, so I had a few close friends. I did get married, and though I SWORE to myself that I wouldn't walk down the aisle bald...I did...then I swore I wouldn't be bald when I became a mother so that my kids wouldn't be embarrassed by me...I was...I'm sure they were at times, though they never said anything...My greatest wish is to find SOME way to put hair on my head, to look in a mirror and see what I would consider a "whole" person. To have my parents, who I'm sure felt my heartache and pain, see me with a full head of hair. To have a hair "style", instead of pulling it up in a top knot to cover the baldness. To not be buried bald..THAT is my greatest wish.

Tyra,
My hair is a mix of curly, wavy, and straight that definitely frizzes in summer weather. I have to straighten it every day, and then hope that the weather doesn't make it go CRAZY! I wonder what it would be like to be able to get in the shower without those that are waiting for me to moan and groan about how long they'll have to wait for me! I've heard about "thermal reconditioning" or "Japanese hair straightening," but it is SO expensive. Is this a good route to go to permanently straighten hair?? Are the results as great as they sound?? Also, I wonder about pricing and what it would cost. I don't want to make a mistake and I've never personally seen anyone that has had this treatment. What do you think?
Thank you,
Julianne
P.s. I love your show. I find a lot of self-confidence in your honesty and the reality of what we all go through!

Dear Tyra,
Since I was a little girl (I'm 27 now) I've had the biggest problem with oily hair. I've tried every treatment from special shampoos to witch hazel. My mom used to say you could fry things in my hair. I hate it. I can wash my hair and halfway through the day (without excessive brushing or even touching it with my hands, I know that's a big NO-NO) it's an oil slick.... PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Love Always,

Hey Tyra! I'm 15 my hair is so bad it frizzes like crazy and is also very greasy. I can't go without washing it for 1 day otherwise it looks really dirty. I always end up pulling my hair up into a messy bun but my brothers make fun of it. Do you have some other suggestions or styles that I could use on my hair instead of the "bun"? Do you have other hairstyles that are easy and will get my hair out of my face?
Thanks,
Tiffany

My name is Angie and I have had diabetis since I was 8 years old, I am 24 now. My hair used to be a beautiful dark brown and very thick. Now it is very light and has thinned out a lot. It just hangs straight, I can't do anything with it, and it is a struggle every day. The diabetis has taken a tole on my hair and even other things that women and men consider beautiful. Is there any help or suggestions?

Hello,
You might want to talk about people who pull out their hair.
Ive been dealing with it for years and even though it bothers me I still continue to do it =(
Personally, I can't stand how the hair actually feels [course] so I pull on it. People always and still continue to compliment me on my hair, but if they only saw it the way I see it everyday
Just a thought.

Tyra,
I have been watching your show for so long and I believe and know that I have the best hair in the world! I am an eighteen year old black woman and I love my nappy hair! I know black women have to cope with the history that lives through our hair. Why do you relax your hair? Do you know that putting chemicals into your hair weakens it? That means when you are older, don't be surprised if you don't have any hair. In fact, I understand you want to be a role model for all women, but first you have to look at yourself. How do you expect young black girls think as famous black women as role models for their people while they have natural hair and you don't. You should do a show on the history of black hair. Black people from all walks of life have to deal the pain and struggle when it comes to their hair. Think about it.

Tyra girl. OMG,
I have HORRIBLE HAIR! and worse? I'm getting married in Key West, FL next April, and I'm kind of starting to freek out. Since I'm getting married on a cruise ship, i'm kind of stuck with who ever they have on board to do hair, either that OR I have to do it. It's mid back length and .. I'm as white as white can be... but girl let me tell you I have BLACK girl hair. It's frizy course, thick and curly, it's about as unruley as possible. I straight iron it every once and a while when i have 4 or 5 hours to do absolutly nothing. I haven't been to a solon in over 3 years, I can't find someone who knows what to do. I went in and the lady cut layers in my hair, and I looked like a pyrimid for 2 years. So, i have really bad split ends(i trim them myself) and I use expensive shampoo and conditioner. It sucks, when I'm picking out hair products, I get weird looks from african american women, like I'm buying the wrong stuff... but I know it's the only stuff that works for my hair. I think i have bought every frizz out product there ever was, and maybe a few twice, I have three flat irons, and 2 blow dryers, because I have to switch back and forth or they get tooo hot, and or burn out. I am terrified that for my wedding day I am going to have UGLY hair like every other day of my life. I can picture, the perfect dress, the perfect day, and everyone I love (70 of my closest friends and relatives) on a cruise ship, and me, walking down the Isle with BIG UGLY hair. It's my only fear about my wedding, i should be scared about loosing my luggage, and or my 5 year old son getting sick, or Grandma getting hurt, or all the other crazy things that can happen with desitiation weddings, but what am I scared of? Bad hair. I wish i could just show you, I can pull my pony tail out and my 26 inches of hair will stand straight out from my head. I have the ultimate white girl fro... and I NEED help...
I used to watch those "bad hair shows" and just want to laugh, I'm like GIrl flat iron, and some oil and our hair will be FINE! or Girl get a grip, your hair's not that bad...
I grew up with people asking me if I had black in me, or, if my great great grandfather slept with slaves, and I was ridiculed all though out school because I was the white girl with the black hair... and now, I'm 25 getting married and all those horrible thoughts are coming in to my mind, as I'm FREEKING out about my hair and the most important day of my life.

Okay I have a problem with the people you have on your show that claim to have bad hair. That stuff just seems made up to me. Sorry:( However I feel that I have a real problem. Being a black woman with a few other nationalities in my blood I know what bad hair is because I used to have GOOD hair, but it was ruined by my mom when she put a relaxer in it. From then on I have had problematic hair. Its thin in the front which makes me look like I am going bald, and I just recently got fed up with it and got it cut and dyed by my sister. Now it seems like my hair is shedding more and its extremly dry. Now being a young mother I really don't have time for appearances but I should at least be able to have a decent hair doo. But I dont!!! Tyra if you can help please do if not I'll keep wearing hats and doo rags:)

Dear Tyra,
My name is Briana and i have a hair problem. See my father is black and my mother is white, so black hair products are usually too strong and white ones not strong enough. I'm about to go into highschool and i'm ready for a change, because i've been wearing pretty much the same hair style for all of my 14 years (a pulled back ponytail, which could eventually lead to a receding hairline). But because my hair is curly I cant do bangs and my mom is afraid that a perm will ruin my hair so any option of straightening the bangs if i get them is out. What should I do to spice my hair up? Should I try bangs and take the risk of damaging my hair with a perm? I would love to hear any advice you have.
Thanks for your help
Briana

Tyra,
I have read over many of the comments posted on this site and have seen many women complaining of thin or balding hair. I have been losing my hair since the age of 16 when a family friend over permed my hair causing it to fall out in clumps. Prior to that time my hair was extremely thick and full. I was not to concerned and found that it recovered and only was a bit thinner which at the time was fine with me...But now at 28 after two children and many visits to the doctor i find myself with extremely thin balding hair and no answers in sight. I would really appreciate if you would choose this as a topic to cover on your show. It seems that most doctors have no idea what to do and no treatments besides hair transplant or rogain. I know that this is an issue that many young women deal with and causes us great grief and would appreciate if you could research some solutions and air a show to this widespread but rarely talked about topic....

What is the best way to straighten your hair without killing it. I have long aubern hair down to my back and after I had my first daughter it went curly and frizzy. So I can do it both ways but i dont straighten it all the time because it makes it so dry and takes too long. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Tyra,
I'm from Singapore and just seen this episode a few days ago. I have frizzy hair and so went to rebond my hair. But ever since, my hair has been falling quite badly. The part on my forehead has since been very thin and everytime i go to the salon, i would request to cover them with short fringe and the extra hair from the back. I used to have very thick hair but now, i'm experiencing thinning of my hair and i have kept my hair at shoulder length. Recently, i went to this salon and the hair dresser suggested that i go for a hair extension, similar to straightening. I told her that i was afraid that this would further worsen my hair fall problem. However, she said that this technique is different and chemicals would not touch my hair scalp. She also mentioned that hair loss can be due to other factors like stress, the things i eat, or because i have a weak hair scalp. Hair extension would make it look like i had more hair and it would not look flat and keeps my hair neat. I would like to know if hair extensions would add more stress to my hair scalp and hence cause more hair to fall. I have read that hair extension is only a temporary method and might even worsen hair fall problem. My hair is still frizzy and i would like a neat and easy to manage hair. Should i go for the hair extension? What can i do to solve my hair fall problem?
Thank you.

Hi, Tyra
I was just reading through some of your comments on America's worst hair and I happened to read a comment I believe it was by Lisa. I know what she's going through I have a condition called alapecia ariata(not sure if i spelled it right) buts it where you get bald spots on your head and sometimes it can grow back fast but then other times it can take 6 months to grow back. I hate having it sometimes I get bald spots on the top of my hair or even worst my eyebrows fall out and even my eye lashes. But I have a suggestion for lisa is to use rogan the mens kind its the .5% and you put it on every day and it helps the hair grow back. It has helped me. Well i just wanted to post this and hope that it can help someone else who could have the samething I have.

Hello Tyra, Please do a show on the best Flatirons on the market. I stayed up one night to see an informercial on a flatiron that has 1000 little combs and built in steamer. It's all about my daughters hair. I love her curly top, you know the story "she hates it". It's a good thing she attends an all girl school, so monday thur friday she only irons out the bangs the rest goes in a bun or a ponytail. If she has a dance or special occasion, or Sunday mass, she will start the night before to iron out the hair. Help!!!! she will take up to three hours doing this. Having it professionally straighten is out of the question. We have looked into it. The quote was a little steep $400.00 to $1000.00. We watch your show twice a day. If anyone knows anything about hair it be you girl. Hugs always, Megan Mom.

Hi Tyra:
My story is unlike anyone you have heard before and I am sure that you have heard plenty.
I am a walking train wreck. I am not sure how I've made it this far w/o hair but I have. It's been three years since my hair started falling out. You know being a blk women, its a disaster. I have been wearing hair weaves until it grows bk but it keeps growing a little, giving me a little ray of hope and then falls out again.
I am almost bald. Some spots are bold. I might have some type of scalp condition but no one seems to know anything. My job is suffering and my relationship is going to end if I don't get help. I see myself as being a homeless mess in about a year if I don't get help. I can't focus, sleep or concentrate... What do I do? Where do I go? I need my hair bk...
Please help. Any suggestions will be cherished.
P.S. I truly don't have a lot of money so if the place you refer me to can take some type of payment plan that would be great.
Thanks so much.
Giving up!

Dear Tyra,
I have Americas' worst hair. For my birthday I had it dyed. Well, the color developed and it was GREEN, with brassy lowlights. I had it re done by the same woman four times. on the 3rd time she said I had to bleach it becuaes it wouldn't hold color. So its as white as paper. Then the manager says she'll fix it and gives me lowlights which actually would look good if my hair didn't feel like cotton. Well, that was back in December, and now its almost May. My hair still feels like cotton, and it breaks off in inches. I've tried everything to fix it ,I've even quit blow drying it and straighting it but still no luck. What should I do? I really don't want to pull a Brittany and shave my head.

I am so happy too e-mail you, even if this message isn't read by you personally. Here's hoping someone can give me a small ray of hope!!!! I have gray virgin hair, and I keep it in braids.(my edges are thinning) I live in Palm Coast,Fl. I'm a retired General Motors employee (from michigan) I keep myself busy by working as a HOME HELPER with seniors that have health issues. I live alone,when I'm outside of the house I wear a headband wig (I wrap the front with a scarf) when I'm at home I allow my hair too breath!!!!! Could someone help me please, I need some advice on what to do. Palm Coast is a very small city and they don't have much help for black women. The hair salons are not like the ones in Michigan. SOS please !!!!!!

Tyra,
I love your show and I always get good tips from it, but my hair is a mess. It's really damaged from dying and straightening it. I dont know what to do with it, should I just cut the damage off or is there some sort of special way of making it healthier? I wanna get it cut but my hair is too thick and frizzy to get it short...What should I do???? please please please help me!!!!
love always Christina

Dear Tyra,
I din't know where else to put this topic but since it had to do with hair I will put it here. I wish that you would do a show on hair weave techniques and the type of human hair you should buy or what you use yourself because you hair always looks flawless. I have tried different types of hair and different techniques but I have never been satisfied with the results. So if you can give some advise I would appreciate it and so would my hair. Thanks

Tyra, I want to say first of all that I just love you! You are such a wonderful person inside and out. I love both your shows and TIVO every showing. I haven't really told many people about my situation because I am ashamed. I have a scalp condition that is called Deep Folliculitis and I get pimples in any and every place that I have hair. It is being treated with antibiotics, but it takes my hair out. I am 27 and mostly all my hair is bald around the crown area. It has been this way for about 5 years. I wear tracks, but I can't seem to find the right stylist. My hair always seems to look crazy. Do you have any suggestions about what I can do with my hair?

hey Tyra!
I recently had a horrible hair disaster... I am German, 15 years old and my natural hair is blonde. I once dyed it red and after a few months made it blonde again, but it was a much lighter blonde than my natural hair color. So from then on every few months id go back and get highlights. One day i got fed up with dying my hair so i decided to get lowlights and naturally grow out the chemically damaged hair. The problem is i live in the philippines and asian hair is 3 times thicker than european. so many of the hair dresses are used to having to put more chemicals to color the hair. anyway i told my usual hair dresser wat i wanted and he turned it into black! i went back the next day because i didnt like the new look and he said he would remove all the chemicals and make it blonde again but he did the same thing again! so i told him to just put blonde highlights in it but because of the mix of light blonde and black it appeared grey. so a few days later i went back and told him to take all the dark hair and make it blonde.. but with a Golden blonde. Instead he made my hair white! you may ask why i kept going back to the same guy, but the truth is he always did a great job with my hair before and it didnt cost anything to go back. Of coarse after he turned it white we decided to change hair dressers. The new guy completely fixed my hair. although it is still very light and my hair is completely ruined from all the chemicals. Its been a month now and my hair has recovered very well. I plan on going back to the new guy in about a month to get it to become a nice golden blonde but before i do i need to get it much healthier. I know you where hair extensions but do you have any tips on making natural hair healthy again?

Dear Tyra,
I love your Top Model show and have been meaning to write to you since when you were doing the weaves on the girls. I also have a thyroid problem and very fine hair to make it wrose. Because of the thyroid making my hair fall out and my fine hair I look horrible. My sister that has the same problem tried putting a weave in my hair (she has no experience, at all) and made it so much wrose. I want to attempt putting in another weave. I was wondering what supplies I would need because I'm not sure where to go in my city.
I really believe that I really have the wrose hair. I can't use a curling iron or a flat iron because it won't work or last long anyway. Please let me know how I can make it better.
Love ya,
Shary...

Tyra, I have been looking over everyone's comments about their hair. I don't think I have the worst but I am closing in on first place. Over the last 3 years I have been losing my hair. I have thyroid problem which makes it come out every easily. I have a small bald spot on the top of my head and I just don't know what to do with it anymore. My hair is long, almost to the middle of my back and cutting it short worries me. I am over weight so finding a hair style to fit my face, personality, and keeping my husband happy, it is next to impossible. I know when you are over weight having your hair too long or too short makes you look worse. Any suggestions? Love both your shows and no matter what anyone says you always look great. Keep it up.

Dear Ms. Banks,
I am deathly afraid of hair stylists. I don't have hair problems, I have a problem of what to do with my hair. If go to a salon and ask for a cut that fits my face the stylist get upset with me because I don't know the cut I want. I'm 46 years old and the length hair is from 0 inches to 4 or 5 inches depending on where you measure it. I have broken most of it off because I wear a braid most of the time. I have gone natural for a few years and have relaxed it for the past three years. HELP! I'm starting to gray (just a strand or two, three...) and I'm tired of the braid. The shape of my face is a block, and my hair color is a dark sandy brown. HELP ME PPLLLLEEAASSEEEE.

I think you are absolutely beautiful. Your hair is beautiful, it looks really light though, what color is that? My hair does that too after a few flat iron runs. I can dye my hair darker and after a few runs with the iron, it is really light.
Your show is great, and americans next top model, wish I had the guts to be on that show.

I want my long hair back and you cant find a styliest that does what you want or say just a trim and you end up with no hair.I almost got extenions I hated it so much.Is there any 4-real make your hair go quik?????????

Hello Tyra! On one of your shows, you said that you feel most beautiful in without the hair weave. You know with your natural hair braided. Well if that's the case how come you never come on either of your shows in braids EVER? About a year ago I cut all my hair off down to 1/2 in. Previouslly I had been wearing a relaxer, but got tired of chemical burns and breakage. Now my hair has grow back to about five inches of virgin afro hair. When I am alone in my house I enjoy my hair and feel beautiful.Although when I go out into the world I begin to feel that my hair is ugly. Almost like in white america I have to hide my God-given hair to fit in. Is this the way you feel and the reason I only ever see you in weaves. Also you were unaware, many black women and starting to wear their hair relaxer free. Maybe if you wore you hair naturally sometimes it would help send out a positive message of acceptance for kinky, nappy, afrolistic natural afro hair. Black women struggle so much with hair issues.

Hi Tyra,
I have a show idea! How about helping women who have full natural hair used hair products to accent this beauty. I have experience that women of every race disliking their natural curly hair. Also too how this is sometimes a problem for African Americans to aquire employement if their hair is "too black". I would like to donated a Bella Twist to all of your audience members if you decided to use this idea. Take care Kimbrely www.bellatwist.com

Tyra,
Thanks for all that you are doing for all women, especially younger women who look up to you as a role model. I am a very young and fit 53 years old (which is ancient to most of your viewers I suppose), but still love most of your shows anyhow.
I found your show on "America's Worst Hair" to be interesting. All my life I've had exactly the opposite problem of all the women on the show. While I have no complaints about my natural blonde color, I hate the texture of my hair---thin, baby-fine, oily and lifeless. Most products for thin hair end up making it look even worse. On top of all of that, I don't have a good face shape for short or mid-length hair and I also don't want to look old before my time either. I also like having it long, because then when the humidity is 95% or it's really hopeless, I can at least tie it back. Perms and coloring have not helped, especially since they just grow out anyhow and damage my hair.
You did a program about one "extreme" in the world of hair. How about a show to help those of us at the other extreme who have non-existent hair because it's fine, thin and lifeless with no shape or form whatsoever? We're out there with very few options to improve the appearance of our hair. So many products in the store are for ladies with thick, curly hair and we feel left out of it all.
Thanks for your consideration.

I do not think that anyone could have hair worst than mine. It won't grow. I am so embarrassed by my hair that I cover it up ALL the time with wigs and weaves. I would really just like my own hair to grow or get a healthy weave or braided solution that looks good.

Hi Tyra. I'm 14 turning 15 in a few months. I just read this post and I decided to post a comment. A few months ago I had decided to get side bangs to accent my "round doll" face. People say that it's pretty. But they have absolutely no idea how it gets when it's time to wash it. My hair is extra silkier(from what my mom tells me) than most people, so it's very prone to get greasy if I use any type of hair product. My bangs have a tendency to split apart when they want to, and when I brush them, they separate again unless I hold them together with a hair clip. I don't think it's the most outrageous hair problem in the world, it's just, ugh!
^^
P.S-I watch ANTM a lot, and my favorite one was when you went to Japan. I'm a big fan of Japanese culture, and I totally loved how you looked in that kimono.

Hi Tyra. Until this past Friday (3.16.07), I did not have the worst hair but now, I feel I do. A girl, who's done my hair on and off for years, but in a different perm on Friday and caused gobs of my hair to come out. I was fortunate enough to have enough hair saved in the front that covered the really bad spot in the back. Before this, I have beautiful, thick hair. Now, I have thin hair that's going to require much work to return to it's thickness. What's worse is I'm not sure if this was an accident or done on purpose.

Hi Tyra. I am Sarah and I’m a 25 year old single mother of three and I have the worst hair of all because I am ashamed to go out in public with my real hair. I wear wigs to cover up what’s hiding underneath. I have worn wigs for since I was 19. My hair started to come out when I was 15 and I was nearly totally bald at 19. I cant afford a hair transplant or hair restoration. If you can please help me so that I can be more confident in myself. Please Tyra help me! I also want to be on top model so this will definitely help me to achieve that goal in my life. -your biggest fan

hi tyra!
Before i have alot of hair and is the perfect natural hair with alot of volume,texture to it and etc...but then one day stupid me i want to dyed my hair and then bleach it and then keep dying my hair killing my hair rather than cuttin it off..so later on i bleached my hair 3times and then re-dyed my hair i think about 6 more time so i keep killing my hair without giving my hair a break..but thats was not it..i decided to get a straight perm because after i ruin my hair so many times is not straight anymore...Now i don't really know what to do with my hair so i decided to dyed my hair so it looks like my natural hair ..but it takes forever for my hair to recover all the damaged i did to it...
now --part of my hair breaks apart when i got a perm and my dead hair's still there cause i don't want to cut it..if i do cut it it will be tooo short..everytime i wash my hair after the shower is either i have to blowdry it and put a lil mouse into it so it can have volume or straitghten it but that can only help a lil bit ,you can still see my dry and dead hair..well if i don't blowdry it or straighten it my hair would just flat out,and you can see right away my dryness hair and is the worst hair ever..
well my hair is growing out pretty long but i don't want to cut it cause the hair that breaks apart and got chop off is next to my bangs and my bangs is pretty short where i cannot tie it up only use a pin or a clipper..but then i still have the bottom hair which is long..so what you think i should do? how can i make my hair turn out healthier like before? how can i make my hair habe alot of volume and texture like before? which is the best conditioner for my hair?

Hi Tyra,
My name is Sherri and i've had the worst hair ever i think in the whole world. I just wish i could just have normal hair where i don't half to use products in it. I've been growning my hair for a while now because it use to be a short afro and i mean short. I'm a native women and usually you would think nice long stright black hair but no way not this native, my hair is long and corse worst then horse hair and its really curley. If i don't put any products in my hair i would look like a cave women....hahaha,for real. I don't know what happened but when i was younger my mother thought it would be a great idea to perm my hair because she thought it would make more curls but i already had enough and ever since then my hair has never been the same. It's too funny because everytime my friends and i watch a talk show and they say anything about do you have really frizzy hair? they all look at me....!.

Dear Tyra-
My daughter has the worst hair. She's always trying to save money, but the style and haircolor she's sporting now is HORRIBLE. She looks like she spilled a bottle of peroxide on it and then hacked at it with a pocket knife. I love my daughter, but her hair is truly in need of help. Being a mommy of two small children doesn't help because besides being damaged it's always pulled back in a ponytail. She used to have beautiful hair, but now it's just awful. So if you can please please please help my daughter with her problem hair.

My hair is uber bad, I have naturally thick dark hair, but over the past few years, I have self-colored it and straightened it so ofter, that it has turned a gross copper color and is dry and brittle and whenever I go outside and the temperature is more than 60 degrese, my hair poofs! It is aweful! It takes me an hour to do my hair, and then I have to sleep on it to get it more calm, and re-straighten it in the morning! Should I go to a salon and get my a japenese relaxing process thing done?!

Hi, I do hope you are the one reading this, I watch your show when I get the chance and I really do enjoy the topics you cover most of the time. I have a common problem that I share with many other women but it isn't talked about much. I have very thin hair and I have to wear a hairpiece, which I really hate, but I have no choice. I watch those ads about hair replacements for men and they do say it is good for some women but you just don't hear about women getting the help. I know it is very expensive but I can't afford anything like that so I live with my problem. I would really like to hear about help women can get that doesn't cost a fortune. I am presently unemployed, and when I work I live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to pay my bills, so there would be no way I could afford hair replacement, I am trying to save up to buy another hairpiece, but it will be awhile so I live with what I have. Do you have any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for a wonderful show, you are a very beautiful person.

Hey Tyra!
I will have to say i have the worst hair ever. I am a young African American woman. I am 18 years old and never had a date before or a boyfriend. My hair is very very short I am going bald already. I have huge bald patches in the middle of my head. I have huge pimples in my scalp also and very visible for others to see. It's very hard for me to do my hair. I have very low self-esteem about it. I never get asked out. All of my sisters have long hair and i dont and they always making fun of me and calling me outrageous names. I Only get Micro braids in my hair but that only makes me look halfway decent. Sometimes I go on phone pary lines just to get a guys attention, and so i can feel wanted. I met alot of guys off the party line and slept with all of them except one. I met about 13 guys on there. But i just need help!

Hey Tyra. I love your show and watch it everyday. My favorite episodes are the ones where you give people hair makeovers! And let me tell you I need a hair makeover. I have been struggling with out of control hair my whole life. I never wear my hair down because if I do it frizzes out everywhere! I have curly hair that I just cant figure out how to control it. I have even tried to have it straightend and controlled by professionals and they couldnt even do it. So I just continue to pull it back in a pony tail with lots and lots of hairspray and mouse! Please help me find a hair style and product to control my crazy frizzy hair! I would give anything just to wear my hair down for one day.

Hey Tayra I am responding to the show that aired as a repeat on Feb.28, the worst hair in the world I have to admit I was very disappointed with the results of the make overs. I have curly hair and when brushed out it looks just like the first girl that had the big hair. The answer to almost all of the hair repairs was to make it straight. I am 37 years old and have finally started to embrase my curls because for a working mom of 2 I just simply do not have the time to straighten it all the time...The message I got watching that show was not to work with what you have on a daily basis but to change it. And all of them where changed to straight hair. It’s confirming what I felt my whole life that straight hair is better and I am offended. After years of struggling to change how I grew up feeling the Tyra banks show just reinforced my suspicions after all these years which is change who you really are...I want to know how young girls with curls are supposed to feel and frankly I am not sure what message you are sending them you are so righteous about young girls and there self-esteem when today I feel like you went out of your way to make fun of people that didn’t have pin straight hair and to me it is inexcusable I think your people should make sure you are more sensitive to your entire audience we all don’t have personal hair stylist and make -up artist..Tyra be carful ..women and girls and there hair is a very touchy subject.
Thank you
Alexis

I have the worst hair in Canada. It's always been my bane. I'm late for work almost everyday because of it. I have mid-eastern hair and it is very dry and breaking off because I straighten it so much. I have to wash it almost everyday because I work out almost every night and it gets drenched from sweat. I have to chemically straighten it and flat iron it so it can hold up in humid weather. It cannot be worn naturally because it's just way too frizzy, and has no consistent pattern, it's consists of funky waves/curl/ and just pure frizz. Growing up my brothers would always call me "Captain Cave Man" from the cartoon. Straightening it makes me feel like I look normal (if that makes any sense). I spend alot of money on hair care products (protein treatments, heat protector, shampoo, conditioner, not too mention the $700+ to chemically straighten it). I'm getting married in the fall and my fiance has never seen my hair in it's natural state and I don't think he's suppportive of me cutting it short. I feel like I'm deceiving him and I'm worried he won't be attracted to me if he really knew what I looked like. I have a feeling we may argue alot too, because once we move in together we will be commuting downtown together and I cannot make him late as I always am now. And what's worse is that I'm starting to grow quite a few gray hairs and I can't even colour it because it's not strong enough. I am very open to suggestions on how to care for my hair that is not so damaging and time consuming and makes me look more like a beauty than a beast. I'm not even looking forward to my wedding day because I know my hair will look awful. I wish I could just throw on a wig. I don't think I've ever admitted all this to anyone...except to maybe my mother (since I took after her). I know there are people who are much more worse off in their lives, and I know it sounds silly and even vain, but the truth is it's hard to feel good about myself (no matter how hard I try in other aspects of my life) when I have to struggle everyday with something as simple as the hair on my head.

I feel I have terrible hair... I have been looking for ways to get a hair transplant because my hair wont grow, its falls out its just ugly. my husband makes fun of my no having hair. He has never really seen it though because i keep it braided and i never take it all out because i dont want to feel bad or more ugly. I told him one day maybe i should try for a short hair style he said no because he dont like girls with short hair..that hurt me so..because im not his girlfriend im his wife. i just hate my hair. :(

HEY TYRA!
Okay, first of all, I love you! You seem like an amazing person. Thanks for everything you've done.
My hair is SO weird. One, it's really thick. Two, it's really dry because I've died it so many times (and I've stopped, I swear!). Three, it takes the highest level on a hair straightener to finally get it straight. Four, whenever I get it cut, it always ends up looking funky.
I would totally trade my hair with someone else!
My uncle lives in Paris (now in Singapore), and when I went to visit him, he payed to get my hair cut at a French hair stylist. He also payed to get it chemically straightened! (Yes, my uncle is amazing.) I was so excited. But, now the chemicals are leaving, and it's back to the craziness!

Dear Tyra,
Hello, My name is Ashlie, Im almost 18 years old. All of my life I have been fighting with my hair problem. It is really hard dealing with it. My hair is really tightly curled. Horribly thick. I cant wear it down and dry when its curly because it is way out there like a fro. I have to wet it to put it up everyday. I wear my hair in a bun everyday. I go through a bottle of hair spray every month to a month in a half maybe even less than that. If I straiten my hair it takes 2 hours or more the longest was 4 hours because its extreamly curly and thick. It takes me forever to brush all of the tangles out. I have never had it dyed or highlighted. School was really hard for me elementary through high school I got the nicknames "poodle" and "Mop Top" I use to come home crying all of the time. I was on depression medicine for a while because I was so self conciouse. Tyra, I need advice or something done, can you please help??
Thank you so much,
*Ashlie*

Being that I never had money at the time to go to the shop and get it done or buy the proper hair products,my hair was completetly damage and short. I am 18 now and my hair still damage and short. I don't know how to get it to grow. Now I am buying all kind of hair growing products and nothing has changed.

Dear Tyra, my biggest self esteem problem is my hair. it is naturally dark with horrible grey coming in at the roots. I contribute this to having a full house hold of 5 kids ranging from 6 to 17, and i am only 35.
Anyway it's dyes black and i have been growing it for 3 years and it just stopped growing and started to bush.
i would die for extentions, that would make me feel so sexy! i can deal with being a bit chubby, but when i see those lucky girls with the flipping from side to side hair, i want to cry.
extetions here are out of my price range about 1,000 dollars for them.
if you ever need hair models, give me a shout out!LOL
love ya, Donna

Hi Tyra, Just 3 weeks ago one of "Your People" called me at my home and asked me about my 80s hair, I was so shocked that I "choked" and couldn't even talk, I'm sure I blew my chance to meet you and have your staff help me with my BIG hair. I'm in true need of your help and like I said when I finally did have a chance at getting help I got scared and I didn't answer the questions the correct way your person wanted me to. I also tried to call her back and I could never get threw, Tyra I beg could I please have one more chance to have you redo my hair, I'm in real need of your advice, in 3 weeks I'm moving back to Sarasota Florida and this year I want to go back into "doing hair" again, I need to look good so that others come to me to get there hair done, I feel they look at my hair and they think thats what I'm going to do to them, I'm really good at doing others hair but when it comes to doing mine I just can't, my hair is BIG and Long (down to my butt) please give me your help so I can look good enough to go back to doing what I love to do the most, being a hair designer is my hobbie I miss it so much. PLEASE give me one more chance PLEASE, I need my "real" life back, all I want to do is be a hair designer and I know the reason I'm not getting the customers to come to me is because they fear my hair.!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME. Please Call Me Back. (I promise not to mess up again when they ask me questions.) If you can't help me I promise to stop writting and bothering you (this is my 5th time begging you) I respect you and if you can't help I truly understand, I love everything about you. Your friend for life, Susan.

I have sufferd with the worlds worst hair since I was in middle school. When I decided to cut my hair off when I was in elementary school I have had to ware my hair cut and weaved up. It is hard, brittle, dry, very damaged, and unmanageble. Once when I was gettiing it done for my birthday I had put a black rinse on it the week before and then I went to the shop and I wanted it dyed blond, I forgot to tell my cosnmotolgist she started to bleach my hair and it turned money green all over. She had to put uncolor on it and wash it 10 before it finnally came out to a dirt brown. I was unhappy on my birthday and then at the end of the night by so may chemical be placed in my hair that day when i went out and started danceing and sweating my hair began to fall on the floor. I walked went home and cryed myself to sleep on my 18th birthday.

Dear Tyra,
I am a 30ish mother of 2 boys that say the song "1985" by Bowling for Soup, was written for me! I have very thick, poker straight natural hair. It is an ugly brown. So, I have colored it a mahogany with hi-lites. Then to eveyones shock, I got a perm! There is only one way I know how to style my hair with a perm: lots of mousse and tons of White Rain Mega-Hold hairspray!!!! My hair is so big that not only my kids think I fell straight from the 80's but so does my husband and the rest of our family! Please help me if you can! My family deserves to see me looking beautiful. They have been beside me thru health problems and so many accidents that I should not have lived thru and I would love to do something for them.
And just for you, I think that you are a beautiful, powerful role-model for todays youth. I wish that I had girls so that I could have them looking up to you for a hero.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi Tyra,
I have let me hair grow long at first because the boyfriend I was with said I look better this way.
Now there is no boyfriend and I do like my hair a little long. I have been coloring my hair to blonde. I would like to get a real blonde. Now my problem is that It is always dry and flys away.
I have a great job now that I have had for 3 years. I am looking into getting into manangement. But I want to look the part. My hair is a problem. It goes it own way. Not my way. I would like to have it styled nice and have it straight at times. But I really think that my hair has a mind of its own.
I hope that you can help me get out of the pony tail life. Into a management style.

Hi Tyra! For the past two years or so I have been dying my hair blonde. Natually, my hair is jet black. The issue that I am having and have always had is this: Every time I go to get my hair done, I tell the stylist that I want it blonde. How hard can that be right? Well, I've ended up with orange, yellow, white, red... Recently, I started doing it myself because I figured, well why pay someone so much money to screw it up, when I could probably do a better job myself. You should see my hair! I look pretty somedays and bad other days. I just give up. Your hair looks so beautiful and natural the color that it is now. I just wish for once!!! I could have my hair colored and have it look natural and beautiful. Thanks

I am begging you please do another hair episode and PLEASE help her!! Her hair is the talk of the town. Everyone is always asking will Kelly (often referred to as Mop Top) ever do anything with that hair? The problem is that she doesn't care at all. She wakes up every morning and heads straight for the gel! She could have such cute curly locks but she feels like she needs to weigh those beautiful curls down with almost a bottle of gel a day! It is so gross, anyone who ever touches her hair has to go wash the sticky goop off their hands! I wish show you a picture because words can't describe this disaster!!

Tyra-
I was so disappointed in some of these girls on the show. It was obvious the 'scene girl' and the one with the rainbow dreads were on myspace--they both scream of a bad myspace page, so I looked them both up and of course found them. I knew on the show the scene girl was not happy with the makeover. She was pretty ungrateful for a chance of a lifetime! But then I noticed the one with the dreads posted a blog saying she can't wait to get some money so she can get her dreads back. What the hell! There are plenty of people in need of hair makeovers over these ungrateful girls. The other ones who got makeovers seemed genuinely thankful and that's good, but next time you guys shouldn't waste your time and money on people who don't show appreciation.

Hey Ty!! I watched ur show today. There was no excuse for me to miss it because in CT we had a SNOW DAY!!!!YAY!! the first one all winter we havent had much snow this winter at all this was the very first time it really snowed. But I watched ur show and. I can't believe people actually put wool in their hair. That is just un-called for. I can't believe that girl didnt like her hair. She looked so pretty with her makeover. But u know what they say "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" She will end up going back to her bleached blonde drag queen mess...ha ha! You had some crazy hairstyles today yourself. That whole blonde track OMG Ty!! you are one brave women because I would never do that all by myself. I would need someone to join me.
You know Ty u should keep your hair a dark brown color or a red color because that blonde color that you have now does'nt look good on you. Your already light skinned and your hair is lighter it does not look right. Please dont take this personal but you should really trash that color. It doesn't flatter your face at all.
When are you going to do some kind of talented teen segment. I would really love to dance on your show. and SHAKE MY BODY!!!LOL

Dear Tyra,
I am truly stuck in the 80's with big, frizzy hair. I color it once in a while. I always used the box colors when I was younger but now have my daughter highlight it. The problem is no matter who styles my hair, I go home and blow it back to my same old style from the 80's. I am part black and part white so I have a lot of fine frizzy hair that looks full but is actually not. My hair changes texture with the weather. When I lived in Brooklyn, NY it was curly like a jerry curl in the summer and now I live in Arizona it is more without curl so then I have to blow dry it and put in curlers to get curl. Anyway, they say I have a pretty face but never wear my hair off my face. I just never really know how to do my hair so basically it stays the same. I would love for someone to give me some new ideas because I never have time for myself. I used to take more care of myself when I was younger (in my 40's) but let myself go. My daughter who is a stylist says there is no hope for me because I don't listen to her when she tries to change my hair. So, what do you think. Is there hope? P.S. - Luv your show and I think you look great!

hi tyra i just finished seeing the episode on americas worst hair. its ironic that i switched on my t.v. and their it was and i was just complaining to my parents about how drastically my hair texture has changed in the last 6 months. i used to have that average latina hair, dark black. and if you put mouse in it i had beautiful curls and if you blowdryed it i had beautiful straight hair.but i cant even recall the moment it began happening but i would come out of the shower and it was pin straight and so dry and burnt-like that it looks like a straight frizz ball and it tangles. if i blowdry my hair its ok but the ends feel burnt if i put mousse it doesnt curl anymore. but it falls off easily. my hairdresser cut it because she said it would solve the problem and i think she only made it worse because it hasnt grown since she cut it. tyra, id do anything to get the texture i had before. please help.
p.s. the same has been happening to my mom hair please please help!

Hey Tyra, I just watched the show about America's Worst Hair and I was curious about something. One of the ladies was pregnant and yet the stylist still colored her hair. I was always told that if you are pregnant you should not do that. Is that true?

Tyra,
I have dread locks and have had them since 1989. They are below my rear end. I try not to work in the corporate sector, but even in back office/mailroom jobs etc. people are brainwashed about the whole good hair/bad hair syndrome. Besides that, it seems that your views perpetuate the whole idea that crimpy or kinky hair is bad and should be straightened. So many people watch your show that when you do those shows on hair you make my life more difficult, especially among young people. It's already a problem that black girls think straightening and weaving are the only things that they should be doing with their hair. Since you're this fashion guru, you should do a show that promotes all the beautiful things that can be done with black peoples' hair without straightening. This other stuff is taking us backwards in the hair department and reinforcing self hate and low self esteem as far as beauty is concerned. And, as we all know, that spills off into all kinds of areas in our lives.

Hi Tyra i love your so soooooooo much. Okay well it's not just my mother, it's me too! My mothers hair is sooooo well you know wack. it's two different colors. My hair is okay i guess. It's a natuarl blonde and it has never been permed or primped. But the problem is it won't do anything! i even try to put it into a ponytail and it frizes and by the time i reach back to pull it up, the rubber band is half way down my hair! For me and my mom it's horrible when we're invited to lets say elegant parties, because our hair just falls down out of braids, ponytails, curls, everthing! Please Tyra, help me somehow. Tell me how to fix it or helps us pleeeease! i couldn't go another day with it doing this!

Hello Tyra
First i have to say that i love you ! you are insperational for woman of all ages you are my favorite celebrity because you are such a postivie example for women, it is especially important to me because i have a 5 yr old daughter and iam so worried about her influences these days.Anyway iam writting about my mom, she is recently seperated from her man of 12 yrs,she has been through so much in her life, and to top it all off she is totally clueless about her hair. she has beautiful curl and length but she has no idea how to care for it so it is frizzy and dead and just so bad. she cant afford to have her hair done professionally. when i sent her in to get it cut and dyed she looked so much worse after. Can you help my mom get some great hair she can do her self? I think it would really help her in alot of ways! I love my mom but she has some seriously bad hair!

hey tyra! i wouldn't say i have the ugliest hair cuz i know there are others who had it worst. I am 19 years old and asian.However i dont have that typical thick jet black asian hair..i envy their hair! I have the total opposite..THIN,soft and blk/brownish hair. I had thin hair ever since I was a child. it sucks. not only that I also have oily hair. i wash it once everyday. Thin and oily is the worst type of hair anyone can have..its looks WET and it looks even THINNER. I cant leave the house feeling good about my self unless it is washed which i dont have the time to do evey morning. i tried washing/blow dry my hair at night before going to bed, well that doesnt work it just turns oily as soon as i wake up. TYRA PLEASE HELP!!!
THANK YOU!
p.s. i also get extreme static winter hair, any tips? I love your show its different from all the other!!=)

Caught part of the show, I think women that show there own personailty is cool and great, we do that with many things in our lifes not just hair. Sometimes it is easier to just shave it and go bald due to many issues we all face. Maybe more power to the Bald is Beautiful?
To the comments from Barbra, Diana , try checking out support boards, heralopeica is a great learning and sharing site online and many many more great sites dealing with hairloss.
DeAsia, Its kind of you to ask help for your teacher ,because she probly needs help, She probly cant afford something better,or maybe she is like many and does not have the education to know any difference when it comes to haircovering.
To Kasey, Yes being bald has its perks, But taking it on and off day after day year after year takes its toll. Wigs are not a cure for baldness. You go ladies. Find your path there is hope and help.

The girl you had on your show today 02/14/07 that did not like her makeover was very attractive. After her makeover she was even more attractive. If you could let her know that I support her on her decision to go back, because you have to be comfortable with yourself but she looked better after rather than before.

I wish I had the help of your glam squad! I have highlighted and died my hair over 10 times in the past 3 months trying to achieve the color that YOU have!! I have your pictures hanging in my bathroom to match the color that you have or at least close and I can't get my hair to come even close! It's rediculous!! I can't afford to do it at a salon, so I do it at home in the comfort of my own bathroom. :-) Please tell me what to do Tyra. All I want is great color! That's it! I can handle the rest. LOL

OMG! PLEASE HELP my daughter, Alisia (A-lee-cee-a)! For ten long years she has been wearing weaves that she's been gluing onto her own hair. Every time she would replace the old weave with the new weave, the glue was taking out her hair; and she would add more glue to what little hair she had left! Well finally last month she decided not to wear weaves anymore, and her hair look like a HOT MESS! The ends of of hair are completely bald ... the top of her hair is long and uneven (vision Don King) ... the back on her hair is short (gotta get in that kitchen)! Her hair is so damaged that EVERYTIME she combs her hair, hair is EVERYWHERE! She refuses to get her hair treated because she is embarassed on how her hair looks. She also has the AUDACITY to put a flat iron on the top part of her hair! So for one month now, she's been walking around the house looking like Don King's Queen! Just a HOT MESS! My daughter needs tremendous help with her hair. She's got to go to somebody's beauty shop! Somebody PLEASE HELP Alisia's hair catastrophe! I can't take it any longer and neither can she!

I'm so lost in what to do so i usualy walk around in only two hair styles. Those are either pulling it up into a pony tail or wearing it down. Please help!

My hair well its a Srunchie or a clip day everyday. Havent had hair colored, cut or styled in about 6 years. If its colored its done by me but havent done that in long time due to got it all over the bathroom door and won't come off have to paint. My hair is Dark Brown almost Black. I cut my hair myself if needed. I bend my head over and chop chop to cut the length. My Grandma is a beutican for over 30 yrs and she always did my hair but i moved from Texas which is were im from in 1996. Every since ive been scared to let anyone do my hair for fear they will cut it short or mess it up worse than it is. I also have another embarrassing problem but he its you tyra i think i can let it go. I have been suffering from Dandruff for quit a few years and no matter what over the counter shampoo's i get it doesnt make it go away. We are not well off in fact we struggle just to keep afloat and do not have medical insurance. So can't afford a Dermatologist to check out what is going on with my scalp. You name any shampoo for dandruff ive tried it. All with these ingredients Salicic acid,coaltar, Pyrithione zinc, ive even tried Hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball applying it per the book Haircutting for Dummies. I know you can't get your hair done when you have this condition no one want's to do your hair they will refer you to a dermatologist so that is a big reason also haven't had hair done in long time its embarassing. It itches all the time to girl and then there go the flakes falling down likt snow. Please help me tyra im tired of living with this problem and tired of having no style i will have no problem coming on to the show and letting evertbody know i have this problem if you promist to help me get it fixed. Im deperate at this point. I sure hope you pick me. Love Angela

Dear tyra let me tell you about my teacher Mrs.Edwards who works at Tyrone Middle school. Those wigs that she wears are so played out! Then she makes it so obvious when it's long one day then short the next, and then it's long! Tyra you could go to any 8th grader at Tyrone Middle school and ask them what they think about her hair and they will tell you the same thing.... That those hairstyles got to go!!! please help her.

Tyra, I think you're beautiful,however, I do believe that your hair sleek straight and dyed that extremely light brown almost blonde does not suit you. My personal opinion, but I believe you should stick to a darker brown, with those awsome curls around your face. Love your show, Julie.

as a 13 year old girl with FRIZZY curly hair.. my life at school has been filled with torment. my hair has a life of its own and despite all the products i have tried on my hair to keep down the frizz and keep the curl, my hair just poofs up! people will call me the frizz monster or put there hands up around there head and walk around mimicking me. ive gone to tons of salons asking for hair help, but the products they suggest work for a day and then never again. my mom and i have spent so much money on my hair and now we are giving up. i know im not the only curly haired person going through this.. but it is hard going through school like this. anyways, i would just like to say i love your shows and ive tried everything you've said about beauty remedies and i just love you

hi tyra rite now i have the worst hair in the world typically because i chose to i had long relaxed hair and decided to go natural im in the transition process right now, when i saw this page on google i had to post a message because i knew i would find afro-ameriacn women on this page who cant accept who they are God gave you that hair and instead of turning yourself to another science experiment try and find natural products that work with your hair.
What really offended me and hurt me was the woman who wanted the wavy white hair like all the white girls, what is america becomin to theze days lookin as white as you can?
I find it absolutley disgustin if you call yourself black and find your hair to disguist you my view is please, get psycological help now i think they should offer some kind of therapy to black to accept who they are, think of the next generation are we going to raise generations of children cursed to being ulgy having frizzy hair, flat noses, big lips anymore, if thats the case we black people should not have children anymore and completley make our genes disapear from the earth completley, that way we wont have to keep altering our hideous features anymore.
Tyra i will be emotinally hurt if you hand these women another chemical, or straitghtener to correct this perfection of non straight hair, what happened to the afro power and black beauty,
I am only 16 years old i dont have the channek with your show on anymore so if u are haviing an episode on this i will not be able to see you, but keep it in mind every strand you shall straighten and evry scalp you are going to burn wit that lye - is scarring another little black girl out there making her realise how unatractive society views her and what she should do to correct herself, take you celebrities for example you and the media take part in makin us view ourselfa as being ugly.

Tyra,
its not me with the bad hair and look, its my mom. shes in her early 40's so she really shouldn't look as old as she does. her hair is just a wreck, i've tried so many times to help her do something with it but she just complains that she doesn't have the time or money. she has naturally curly hair but she doesn't flaunt it at all. its frizzy and dry looking and shes starting to get some grey. i just think that if my mom was able to do something great with her hair, she can start to look great and young again. also, she has THE worst taste in clothes, she wears the same thing almost everyday and wears my old sneakers that are beat up looking. PLEASE help my mom, it would really mean alot. she's so hardworking and doesn't even really care about herself, she does everything for her family and has no time for herself. it would mean the world if you could please help her.

Hey Tyra. I'm 14 and my hair is frizzy dry, and thick. My friends always complain about me wearing my hair in a ponytail. The reason why i wear it in one is because it frizzes up, and it looks like a nightmare if i let my hair down. So if you have any tips for me, thanks.

Hi Tyra, my name is Marlena and I have it bad. I mean my hair has it bad, so bad that stylist charge me extra once they have done my hair. It's not a cut, it's not even frizz, it's that my hair is very compact or thick. I have to have a relaxer at least once a month to comb my hair without breaking a comb.While I was pregnate with all the extra vitamins I got to the point where I had to relax my hair every week. It's so bad, can you HELP ME?
Posted by: Marlena | June 21, 2007 2:30 PM
Okay Tyra first of all im your biggest fan no joke but its not me who has the hair problem its my dads girlfriend Athena i consider her my 2nd mom and i really want to do something nice and HELPFUL for her see her hair is naturally blonde but she has dyed it red and her hair is really curly and frizzy and yucky actually her overall look is horrible she is really short shes a little twig and all her clothes are baggy on her because shes so little she shops in little girl clothes and her and my dad are having trouble paying bills because Athena can't get a job because she looks bad! and pretty soon they're going to need some extra money because Athena will be getting custody of her 2 sons and right now my little sis sierra is with them and my dads job doesn't pay much and Athena could really use a job everyone would appreciate it if she could have a makeover if we cant get her looking good they are going to be desperate for money tyra im only 12 but nobody else has thought of something like this please choose Athena

Tyra, my hair looks crazy. when you touch it, it feels like grass. After evry retouch, it is okey but come two-three weeks later, I just cannot keep it lookin the way it was. Even when I try to grow my hair, I always have to end up cutting it short. I know a woman's glory is her hair and my glory never shines, So Tyra please hook your African sister up.

Tyra!!! my name is samantha, im 17, bi-racial and have the cons of both white and black peoples hair. my hair is nappy and frizzy, dry yet oily at the same time, and falling out constantly! when i was younger i used to have super thick, dry, currly hair and i didnt know how to manage it. not knowing how to handle my hair only left it damaged and now thinner than ever from lossing so much hair. i do get relaxers to help tame my mess, but i cant keep up getting one evey 6-8 weeks! my mom tells me that im loosing too much hair and im going to be bald by the time im 20 but i dont know what else to do...please help tyra!
Posted by: Samantha | June 15, 2007 10:26 AM
HELP!!! My hair is bi-racial, some pieces are straight, some are nice spiral curls, and others our just out of control. I have tried so many different kinds of hair products, and none of them seem to work. They either make my hair look plastered to my head or they do absolutly nothing. My hair looks best when I straighten it, but I have 2 kids and usually can not find 2 hours of spare time to do it. I have been to the salon several time and had my hair relaxed and cut into a style that seems easily managable, but it never looks as good as when they do it. I live in Kansas City where the humidity is high and surprise rain storms are not uncommon. The weather can be torturous!! Tyra, I need your help finding the perfect style and product that I can easily duplicate on my own.

It just recently got back to it normal length.Its totaly damaged from all that. I also cut my hair really short and I'v been wanting to grow it out long and everything that I have tried did not work. I want my hair to grow out . Tyra is there anything afordable that i could use or do to make my hair grow and alos keep it from braking from all the strightening I have done???? I have always loved your hair. Tell me what you do to keep it looking the way it is.
MAHALO.

hey bud;
I have some pretty brutal hair. My natural hair was really poofy, frizy and it was curly, but you couldnt see the curls through the frizz. So I got my hair chemically straightened. It worked wonders the first time, but when I got it done the second time, it ruined my hair. My hair fell out along my main hairline going back, the very front, and underneath. Now, its grown back about 2 or 3 inches, so all the hair that fell out, it now extremly short. Now I have to straighten my hair everytime I wash it, because if i dont I have about 3 inches of crazy curly frizzy hair, then it just falls down straight. And since I straighten it so much, its so damaged, and the ends are really dead and split.
-Much Love;
Alana.*

Hey Tyra! HELP HELP! My daughter is mixed with Hispanic and African American.She is a beautiful little girl but her hair is a mess. And I know that she is self concious about it and it breaks my heart to see her like that at age 6. Her hair is long,curly,freezy, tangily, poofy,dry as the dessert, and course! I have tried and tried to style it the best way that I can, but I'm not doing a good job of it. She always wears pony tails or braids, and she would love it if I would leave her hair down sometimes like the "other girls" and I explain to her that her hair isn't like mine or the other little girls in school. I know she doesn't understand. I would love it if you could give me some pointers to help me manage her hair and make it look good. She has the prettiest curls when it's wet but it dries up so fast and starts to poof out. We both need your help. Please give us some advice. We will be very thankful with any advice that you have for us. Thanks a lot! I enjoy your show very much.

Dear Tyra,
Biracial hair has to be the worst! People can be biracial and have many diffrent hair types. I recently went on a website and they had many diffrent hair types up for biracial people. My hair was not there. It was not one of the 1-5 numbers, but "The exception". My hair is frizzy, poofy and down right out of control. I walk down the street and see all of the white girls with their perfect straight hair, or thick curly hair and I wish I had it too. I try using the straighting iron, but it becomes a hassle every morning because I dont have enough time before school to get up, take a shower, do my hair, get dressed, eat, check my homework and get in the car in one hour! I don't know what I'm going to do any more!

Mrs. Tyra,
As a women of color, it more than a pleasure to see an African American women, pushing her power around. I wanna not only praise you for the work you've done, but for whatever blessing yet to accomplish.
Tyra, I come to you not wanting to be America's Next Top Model, or sit and be a guest on the "TyraBanks Show." I am a 30 year old hoping to get some knowledge on Fashion dealing mostly with Hair and Makeup.
Since the age of 6, I've need some type of hair therapy. I come from a family where a relative has alopecia. Most relative has shoulder length hair, something I dream about. Of course my hair is coarse and looks similar to wool or cotton without a perm. At which I haven't had in about 5 years, because it makes my hair very, very thin. As a child a few of my auntie's tried whatever they could to help me. Beautyshops, braids, perms, weaves - no matter what my hair would never come out looking anything like it should. Tyra, I need help, hope, and prayer... Then I have to deal with Vitalgo on the left sideof my face, you know that mysterious diease that Michael Jackson has. I have had it for about 15 years, now. My self-esteem has went way out the window since Vitalgo, no matter how much a person could say I am pretty, or my boyfriend calling me sexy. Really I wish I had a picture just to show you, but of course I don't like taking them. I have used various makeup for coverage. Fashion Fair was the 90's now it's all about MAC. My problem may be quite easy to resolve, but I would like to be able to take a picture one day and feel pretty (normal). Without an uneven skin color tone in the picture. Am I applying too much? What is it? I guess my question to the Queen would be what am I doing wrong with my hair and makeup?
HELP!! THANK YOU

Hey Tyra! I have long, very thick, curly hair. Actually, my hair is curlier in the back then it is on the sides. I hate going to the salon because they complain about how thick my hair is and say it is too curly in the back. I can't wear my hair down because it frizzes...especially living in a high humidty place. I have tried straightening it and it turns my head into a pyramid. I have tried frizzing creams, tried gel. I don't blow dry my hair. I have to comb my hair in the shower with conditioner in it. Please help me find a style that won't give me a fro or bob!

Hi Tyra, well my problem isn't that my hair is to frizzy,curly, puffy or just everywhere. My problem is that it's falling out. I'm 18 years old and I have half the amount hair as I did when I was 16, thats when it started. I take a shower and it just comes out. Every week the drain gets clogged. My hair falls out on my pillow, I find it on my coat. My dad is partly bald and I dont want to look like that, I have a boyfriend I have dating for 2 years and I know he loves me for me but I want my hair back. So if there is anyway you could help I would be most greatful.
Thanks Tyra,

Tyra, I really enjoyed your show today with Janet Jackson. I think both of you are beautiful inside and out. I was especially interested in your question to Janet regarding weaves. And, I loved the curly hairdo you showed Janet where you were trying to copy her curly hairdo. My girlfriend and I have a birthday coming up on Aug. 24 and 22, respectively, and I would love it if you could have your hairstylist give us the curly weave style that you and Janet wore. I would sit for 24 hrs. to achieve the beauty of a weave like yours and Janet. This would be a dream come true for me as I will be going to Paris on Sept. 12 to attend my nephew's wedding and would like to have a hairstyle that would make me look and feel FABULOUS! Please get back to me to let me know if this dream can become a reality. If not, love you anyway and bless you for all you do, stand for and demonstrate on the Tyra Show.

I am an African American woman. I am able to straighten my hair, but when I do straighten it, it takes 10 minutes before it puffs up again. Do you know any prduct that I can put in my hair to help it stay straight. I would also like to protect my hair from breaking by making it strong. I straighten my hair before school, but when I get to school it's a lot puffier than when I left my house. I tried anti-frizz but it doesn't work. Please help me!!!

I have the worst hair, it's not curly and not straight, it is frizzy, especially on humid days, but not only on humid days. If I do not blowdry my hair smooth, it blows up into this ugly and weird frizzle. It feels hard, just like horse hair or straw. There is no way that my hair would not look funny if I washed it and left it to dry. People have commented on it too.
It's terrible and I am sure there is no cure.

Hey Tyra!
My hair is not America's worse, but it's pretty close! My hair is dirty blonde, naturally wavy, but EXTREMELY frizzy! It's so bad, that I have nicknames such as "fuzzhead" and "frizzy". Even though I know that the nicknames aren't meant to be mean, but they hurt me after being said hundreds of time-mostly by my sisters. I have tried straightening it-it helps a little, but I mostly rely on defrizzer products that get rid of about 1/2 of the frizz. I went to a salon, and she showed me how to use a diffuser, and gave me products to make my hair not frizzy (which work well, btw). But...they just make my hair HARD (like when you use way too much hair spray), and when I brush my hair out the next day-it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do so! Curling my hair with a curling iron makes my hair REALLY pretty-but the curls come out within 30 minutes, and my hair becomes it's usual poofy self. My hair is really damaged too, and a lot comes out when i wash my hair or comb it. I've tried everything-all I want is nice, healthy, shiny, smooth hair that I can run my fingers through. Please send advice Tyra!
Thanks so much!

Hey Tyra,
I'm 15 years old, and I've been struggling with difficult hair ever since I was in 3rd grade. I am half Hawaiian, so my hair has always been thick. I am also half British on my Mom's side. So I have that hair advantage usually as well. Here's my story, in the complete and honest truth. No exaggerations, etc. My hair was ok until I started hanging out with a girl who dyed her hair a lot, and got me into it. When I first dyed my hair my Mom was deeply against it and warned me it would make my hair frizzy. In which it did. That very same year in 3rd grade, there was a girl who kept calling me names like "fuzzy wuzzy was a bear" and she would not stop until my Mom had to contact the principle of the school. 4th grade was alright, I just pulled my hair back in a pony tail or braids. When I started 5th grade I dyed my hair again, yet again to my Mothers disapointment. Then through 6th, 7th, 8th, and this year when I was in 9th, I was figuring out how to tame my frizzy hair. My Mom isn't very rich, but she got me a hair straigtener last year, once again to her disaproval. She said in the most caring way ever "honey, I only bought this for you to make you happy, but I think you're going to fry your hair so please do not use it!" but I did. For the past two months I have been straightening my hair without any protection from the heat every three days. Then I noticed it was thinning my hair out. I am too afraid to tell my Mom what's going on and how depressed it's making me. I know she won't get mad or anything like that because she is the most caring Mother in the world and I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm just afraid to tell her because I don't want to worry her with my hair anymore than I already have. Plus, I was a very uncontrolable child as I was growing up (up until 6th grade is when I became very classy and loving to my Mother more than ever. I was always loving to her, but I was one of those kids who "if I don't get my way, it's the highway", and I've been nice and pleasant to be around to everyone) Anyway, I don't know what to do. I can't even tell my Mom what's going on with my hair. May 15th was my birthday, and the day after I was completely depressed. My Mom comes in and makes sure I'm tucked in at night and tells me "sweet dreams, I love you!" and I say it back to her, but I was crying so bad because of my hair situation I couldn't speak, so I just said "k.." very quitely. She then asked "are you ok?" and I said "yeah." but I wasn't. For the next two days I was very depressed, and my Mom took notice and tried comforting me, even though I would not tell her what was wrong. I am still very depressed over this, but I don't want to affect the people around me, so I've been acting happy and I am happy some of the time, but not always. I'd say it's 50/50 with my happiness and sadness. Then I was watching your show the other day with those women who deserved those make overs, and you said at the end you would do it again. This brought the first real smile to my face in the first 4 or 5 days. I think this is the only way I can tell my Mom what's happening to my hair without being in complete embarrassment. I also think that if you can help me, this is the only way I can boost my self esteem and happiness. So please, Tyra, help me. It would mean so much to me!

Hi, Tyra. I would love to see a show that glorifies all textures and types of hair. As an African American woman whois trying to go natural, I've spoken to many other girls like me, young and old and they all had something negative to say about the choice i was making. Another part in that is the self hate that african american girls undergo when they see women with strait or wavy hair on televison or in the high end magazines and the women they should be relating to have curly hair that looks nothing like theirs. Pleas do a show that lets girls like me feel good about their nappiness.

Dear Tyra, My hair is out of control! I have natrually Curly hair and i
straighten it all the time! Problem... It's frying my hair even thought
its a ceramic straightener. I have tried using that permming hair straight
stuff that you get from Wal-Mart, haha.. It doesnt do anything for my
hair... When i keep my hair curly.. Its all frizzy and doesnt look cute
cause they are very tight curls and my hair is VERY! thick. So i try to
pound gel and hairspray in it so there is no friz, but then it just looks
stupid and like i just got out of the shower. No matter what i do my hair
looks dead or goupy (spelling). I dont know what to do because it also
takes me an hour or so to straighten my hair and its a waste of time in
the summer because te hmidity just curlys my hair back up! I dont know
what to do, my hairs rediculous. I need your help ASAP. Please.

Dear Tyra,
I do enjoy your show.It's different to me for some reason. I was watching one of your programs and you mentioned you had this posting for bad hair days.
Well I think I've had one of the worst. I'm going to be 52 and still have alot of hair. It's naturally curly and thick. One day about 10 years ago My sister and I were going to work. It was very dark and there was no moon light. We had to deliver some product to a customer so my Sister Christine got off and I stayed in the car. When she came back she was laughing so hard, I asked her whats so funny she said " the woman inside asked me what kind of dog do you have in your car and I told her it's not a dog it's my sister!
I'm sure for the woman it must have been one of her most embarrasing moments. She apologized but was very embarrassed. For my sister and I it was very funny we laughed all the way to work. I was a little embarrased myself at first but after I just realized how blessed I was having all this hair. I see so many women with thinning hair and I feel so sorry for them, some almost look like they're going bald.
Thank you for letting me share my story

Dear Tyra,
i love my hair curly hair but it is TOO curly at times and can be hard to tame. i'm a mixture of korean and african american and there is absolutely no salon that can cut my hair the way i want it so i so far i've just let it grow really long. i need a product that can just go in my hair and call it a day. i always knew that i'd get up early in the morning to get all cute for school but it can take over hour to do my hair. what 16 year old wants to break up their sleep schedule..not me at least. i like just throwing it up in a bun but even then people ask me if i put it in two buns because i have so much hair. i mean even if i want to wear it in a ponytail it's a hassle. To tame my hair i have twirl every strand around my finger. After i put in my conditioner and it's soaking wet. then after i do all the twirling around my head i spray gallons and gallons of hairspray so that it will hold. if i don't...lets just say i look DON KING. honestly what girl wants that. but to spend so much time and effort can get old really fast especially when my parents are in a rush to go out. i love my hair but it is just do difficult. it just really frustrates me that i can't do different type of hairstyles other than bun, ponytail or half up half down if im luck. the bun fine but spraying that with tons of hairspray can't be GOOD. on top of things i also have tried to straighten my hair which every hairstylist i've been to is like why and how...well i thought you know if amerie's hair can be straight and look nice than mine could do since were from the same ethnic background. it just be really cool if a salon or some hairstylist could go passing through my town..whose up there and knows how to work with my hair. i have yet to find a salon even close to helping my needs. And my poor mom is at lost for words because she doesn't know what to do. when i was in elementary i had to chop off my hair too my shoulders because there was too much hair that it just was a huge big knot that i couldn't untangle so my mom CUT IT OFF and SAVED IT!!! as a reminder. and it hasn't evened out since then. know its to my waist but its like layerd...but in a BAD way. trust me one can't layer my type of curly hair which a hairstylist tried and just made it worse. i mean you can't tell unless i put it in a high ponytail...which is NEVER. i just don't know what to do anymore i even tried mixedchicks hair products that worked the first time but after that my hair seemed to say no way girlfriend, you can't tame me. i don't know it just likes to rebel against anything. i just need to tame it. sometimes it can even start to get in my way during track and on top of it if i want to try and fix...the more i touch my hair it gets frizy and nasty. and people want to touch my hair and play with my curls all the time...they say it reminds them of spring since you can pull it really far away and then it will spring back in place. but the more they touch it the more it becomes IRRITABLE you could say... and i'm not going to freak out on people. o if you could help me i would it would be greatly appreciated. im really at a lost. especially right now that its getting hot if feel like cutting it all off since it seems to attract heat. Please help!!!!

I've got Trichotillomania and I have short hair..I think it's getting noticable but I only pull hair from the back so it's hard for me to tell. The left side is growing back nicely but the right side is getting bad. I love short hair so Im probly going to just shave it as soon as school gets out. I change my hair styles a lot and I have a style I really want in mind but I dont think I'd be able to pull it off. So if you have any tips, I'd love to hear them.
My mom's been sick though so I wouldn't want to stress her by making her travel..
Help?
Please and Thank you

Dear Tyra,
I was born with VERY curly brunette hair. I loved my hair, it reminded me of Shurley Temple. But, now that im grown my hair has lost its 'very curliness'style. And yes, that is a good thing. Im trying to go for straight hair, but Im not doing to well with that since it takes me about an hour to straighten it in the morning, and I dont have that time! Some times, well most, I keep my hair curly, but when I comb it my hair turns really frizzy and wavy and.. just picture an afro! Im afraid to brush it now, since I dont want to go looking like the next "Foxy Cleo Patra". I put my hair in buns, but Im missing my hair when its down. I CANT STAND HAVING MY HAIR IN THE SAME STYLE EVERYDAY! And if I do want my hair down, it needs to be wet, no acception, but when it dries up, thats a big UH-OH. Thats when my afro comes in.. Tyra help me with my ultra-frizzy hair problem please!!

Dear Tyra, I have an eight year old daughter whose hair is out of control.
First thing, she is bi-racial, am I am white, therefore I have no idea how to deal with her hair type. It is soft, very, very, very thick and curly. I am open to any kind of help that you can offer. She is a beautiful little girl, she just gets really frustrated when it comes to her hair. All she wants to do is put it up in a ponytail everyday!!!
I would appreciate any kind of help you can offer.
Thank You,

Tyra,
I am 25 years old cacausian female and have struggled with my hair since adolescence. My hair is in between curly and straight. It is very coarse and brittle which causes it to break off before it can grow. I have tried all products offered by salons. I am even interested in using African American products because my hair type is closer to texture. Please help me.

Hey, this entry is for Brittany. I'm a bi-racial child too and i've found it really hard to find products and hair styles as well but just resenstly I found a product that i never in a million years thought would work. Basically it tames frizz and uncontrallable curls, but it doesnt take away the curl which is cool. Keep an open mind when i tell you the name, i never thought it would work either. It's called Garnier Fructis Style Brilliant Shine...i have the Extra Strong one.Give it a try if you want, hope it helps!

I am a beautiful natural redhead. But my hair is super thin and super fried. No matter what shampoo I use it stays the same. Not even people at the hair salon can give me advice. And I can't just blowdry my hair because it makes it all poofy and frizzy. I hate my hair so much but at the same time I just want it to be healthy so I can show off my lucious red locks. There's one thing though, I don't want to cut my hair because I like to keep it long. Please help me by any means.
Posted by: Kari | May 7, 2007 4:24 PM
hey tyra!
ok.. my hair is FRIED!!
whenever i take a shower and let it air dry.. it gets really curly and poofy and frizzy.. so i take showers at night and in the morning i blow dry and flat-iron it so it will be straight and non-frizzy, but thats why my hair is so dry. what can i do?

Tyra,
I usually work during the day, but try to catch your show always when I'm home sick or with a day off.
My name is Lisa, and I am 46 years old. I am a victim of tricholtillimania. I say "victim", because NO ONE would choose to do what I do to myself if they could control it. It is a form of OCD which causes you to pull your hair out by the roots, leaving large, embarrassing bald spots. I started this about the time I hit puberty, so it caused me alot of heartache growing up. I wore my hair either pulled over the top of my head to cover the baldness, or wore a hat. Boys teased me, and wouldn't dare to date me, and girls didn't want to be seen with me, so I had a few close friends. I did get married, and though I SWORE to myself that I wouldn't walk down the aisle bald...I did...then I swore I wouldn't be bald when I became a mother so that my kids wouldn't be embarrassed by me...I was...I'm sure they were at times, though they never said anything...My greatest wish is to find SOME way to put hair on my head, to look in a mirror and see what I would consider a "whole" person. To have my parents, who I'm sure felt my heartache and pain, see me with a full head of hair. To have a hair "style", instead of pulling it up in a top knot to cover the baldness. To not be buried bald..THAT is my greatest wish.

Tyra,
My hair is a mix of curly, wavy, and straight that definitely frizzes in summer weather. I have to straighten it every day, and then hope that the weather doesn't make it go CRAZY! I wonder what it would be like to be able to get in the shower without those that are waiting for me to moan and groan about how long they'll have to wait for me! I've heard about "thermal reconditioning" or "Japanese hair straightening," but it is SO expensive. Is this a good route to go to permanently straighten hair?? Are the results as great as they sound?? Also, I wonder about pricing and what it would cost. I don't want to make a mistake and I've never personally seen anyone that has had this treatment. What do you think?
Thank you,
Julianne
P.s. I love your show. I find a lot of self-confidence in your honesty and the reality of what we all go through!

Dear tyra,
According to these other posts i cant say i have the worst hair in the world, but i do have a problem. I'm 13 years old and i have like a heart shaped head. My hair comes a little pass my jawline and its permed and dark brown. Also, I have eczema in the back of my hair so it's really short in the back. I have a formal im going to in 3 weeks. I need a hairstyle thats going to look good with my dress. I usually do thick spiral curls but becuase my hair is so short in the back i dont do anymore. I need help. please
btw: I have the biggest 4head so i always have like a side- swooped bang
thnx

Dear Tyra,
Since I was a little girl (I'm 27 now) I've had the biggest problem with oily hair. I've tried every treatment from special shampoos to witch hazel. My mom used to say you could fry things in my hair. I hate it. I can wash my hair and halfway through the day (without excessive brushing or even touching it with my hands, I know that's a big NO-NO) it's an oil slick.... PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Love Always,
Amanda

Hey Tyra! I'm 15 my hair is so bad it frizzes like crazy and is also very greasy. I can't go without washing it for 1 day otherwise it looks really dirty. I always end up pulling my hair up into a messy bun but my brothers make fun of it. Do you have some other suggestions or styles that I could use on my hair instead of the "bun"? Do you have other hairstyles that are easy and will get my hair out of my face?
Thanks,
Tiffany

Hi Tyra,
My name is Angie and I have had diabetis since I was 8 years old, I am 24 now. My hair used to be a beautiful dark brown and very thick. Now it is very light and has thinned out a lot. It just hangs straight, I can't do anything with it, and it is a struggle every day. The diabetis has taken a tole on my hair and even other things that women and men consider beautiful. Is there any help or suggestions?

Hello,
You might want to talk about people who pull out their hair.
Ive been dealing with it for years and even though it bothers me I still continue to do it =(
Personally, I can't stand how the hair actually feels [course] so I pull on it. People always and still continue to compliment me on my hair, but if they only saw it the way I see it everyday
Just a thought.

Tyra,
I have been watching your show for so long and I believe and know that I have the best hair in the world! I am an eighteen year old black woman and I love my nappy hair! I know black women have to cope with the history that lives through our hair. Why do you relax your hair? Do you know that putting chemicals into your hair weakens it? That means when you are older, don't be surprised if you don't have any hair. In fact, I understand you want to be a role model for all women, but first you have to look at yourself. How do you expect young black girls think as famous black women as role models for their people while they have natural hair and you don't. You should do a show on the history of black hair. Black people from all walks of life have to deal the pain and struggle when it comes to their hair. Think about it.

Tyra girl. OMG,
I have HORRIBLE HAIR! and worse? I'm getting married in Key West, FL next April, and I'm kind of starting to freek out. Since I'm getting married on a cruise ship, i'm kind of stuck with who ever they have on board to do hair, either that OR I have to do it. It's mid back length and .. I'm as white as white can be... but girl let me tell you I have BLACK girl hair. It's frizy course, thick and curly, it's about as unruley as possible. I straight iron it every once and a while when i have 4 or 5 hours to do absolutly nothing. I haven't been to a solon in over 3 years, I can't find someone who knows what to do. I went in and the lady cut layers in my hair, and I looked like a pyrimid for 2 years. So, i have really bad split ends(i trim them myself) and I use expensive shampoo and conditioner. It sucks, when I'm picking out hair products, I get weird looks from african american women, like I'm buying the wrong stuff... but I know it's the only stuff that works for my hair. I think i have bought every frizz out product there ever was, and maybe a few twice, I have three flat irons, and 2 blow dryers, because I have to switch back and forth or they get tooo hot, and or burn out. I am terrified that for my wedding day I am going to have UGLY hair like every other day of my life. I can picture, the perfect dress, the perfect day, and everyone I love (70 of my closest friends and relatives) on a cruise ship, and me, walking down the Isle with BIG UGLY hair. It's my only fear about my wedding, i should be scared about loosing my luggage, and or my 5 year old son getting sick, or Grandma getting hurt, or all the other crazy things that can happen with desitiation weddings, but what am I scared of? Bad hair. I wish i could just show you, I can pull my pony tail out and my 26 inches of hair will stand straight out from my head. I have the ultimate white girl fro... and I NEED help...
I used to watch those "bad hair shows" and just want to laugh, I'm like GIrl flat iron, and some oil and our hair will be FINE! or Girl get a grip, your hair's not that bad...
I grew up with people asking me if I had black in me, or, if my great great grandfather slept with slaves, and I was ridiculed all though out school because I was the white girl with the black hair... and now, I'm 25 getting married and all those horrible thoughts are coming in to my mind, as I'm FREEKING out about my hair and the most important day of my life.

Dear Tyra,

It is all damaged because I try to fix it all the time and most of the time i am unsuccessful with even trying can you give me some tips on how to keep my hair looking beautiful.
Posted by: Aleena 6 | April 30, 2007 12:13 PM
Okay I have a problem with the people you have on your show that claim to have bad hair. That stuff just seems made up to me. Sorry:( However I feel that I have a real problem. Being a black woman with a few other nationalities in my blood I know what bad hair is because I used to have GOOD hair, but it was ruined by my mom when she put a relaxer in it. From then on I have had problematic hair. Its thin in the front which makes me look like I am going bald, and I just recently got fed up with it and got it cut and dyed by my sister. Now it seems like my hair is shedding more and its extremly dry. Now being a young mother I really don't have time for appearances but I should at least be able to have a decent hair doo. But I dont!!! Tyra if you can help please do if not I'll keep wearing hats and doo rags:)

Hey Tyra,
I have a huge Problem My hair is always freezy and it's naturually curly. Every other week I go and have it thinned out at a salon but It doesn't help calm down the curls and plus I straighten it alot. What should I do to make my curls look more like curls?

Dear Tyra,
My name is Briana and i have a hair problem. See my father is black and my mother is white, so black hair products are usually too strong and white ones not strong enough. I'm about to go into highschool and i'm ready for a change, because i've been wearing pretty much the same hair style for all of my 14 years (a pulled back ponytail, which could eventually lead to a receding hairline). But because my hair is curly I cant do bangs and my mom is afraid that a perm will ruin my hair so any option of straightening the bangs if i get them is out. What should I do to spice my hair up? Should I try bangs and take the risk of damaging my hair with a perm? I would love to hear any advice you have.
Thanks for your help
Briana

Tyra,
I have read over many of the comments posted on this site and have seen many women complaining of thin or balding hair. I have been losing my hair since the age of 16 when a family friend over permed my hair causing it to fall out in clumps. Prior to that time my hair was extremely thick and full. I was not to concerned and found that it recovered and only was a bit thinner which at the time was fine with me...But now at 28 after two children and many visits to the doctor i find myself with extremely thin balding hair and no answers in sight. I would really appreciate if you would choose this as a topic to cover on your show. It seems that most doctors have no idea what to do and no treatments besides hair transplant or rogain. I know that this is an issue that many young women deal with and causes us great grief and would appreciate if you could research some solutions and air a show to this widespread but rarely talked about topic....

What is the best way to straighten your hair without killing it. I have long aubern hair down to my back and after I had my first daughter it went curly and frizzy. So I can do it both ways but i dont straighten it all the time because it makes it so dry and takes too long. Do you have any suggestions?
Posted by: Ashley | April 26, 2007 10:38 AM
Hi Tyra,
I'm from Singapore and just seen this episode a few days ago. I have frizzy hair and so went to rebond my hair. But ever since, my hair has been falling quite badly. The part on my forehead has since been very thin and everytime i go to the salon, i would request to cover them with short fringe and the extra hair from the back. I used to have very thick hair but now, i'm experiencing thinning of my hair and i have kept my hair at shoulder length. Recently, i went to this salon and the hair dresser suggested that i go for a hair extension, similar to straightening. I told her that i was afraid that this would further worsen my hair fall problem. However, she said that this technique is different and chemicals would not touch my hair scalp. She also mentioned that hair loss can be due to other factors like stress, the things i eat, or because i have a weak hair scalp. Hair extension would make it look like i had more hair and it would not look flat and keeps my hair neat. I would like to know if hair extensions would add more stress to my hair scalp and hence cause more hair to fall. I have read that hair extension is only a temporary method and might even worsen hair fall problem. My hair is still frizzy and i would like a neat and easy to manage hair. Should i go for the hair extension? What can i do to solve my hair fall problem?
Thank you.

I have baby fine stright thin hair, it will not hold a curl or a wave, I have tried perms but they breaks my hair, I braid my hair every night just to get a little wave and have to use hair spray every day to try and keep the little wave I get.

Hi, Tyra
I was just reading through some of your comments on America's worst hair and I happened to read a comment I believe it was by Lisa. I know what she's going through I have a condition called alapecia ariata(not sure if i spelled it right) buts it where you get bald spots on your head and sometimes it can grow back fast but then other times it can take 6 months to grow back. I hate having it sometimes I get bald spots on the top of my hair or even worst my eyebrows fall out and even my eye lashes. But I have a suggestion for lisa is to use rogan the mens kind its the .5% and you put it on every day and it helps the hair grow back. It has helped me. Well i just wanted to post this and hope that it can help someone else who could have the samething I have.

Hello Tyra, Please do a show on the best Flatirons on the market. I stayed up one night to see an informercial on a flatiron that has 1000 little combs and built in steamer. It's all about my daughters hair. I love her curly top, you know the story "she hates it". It's a good thing she attends an all girl school, so monday thur friday she only irons out the bangs the rest goes in a bun or a ponytail. If she has a dance or special occasion, or Sunday mass, she will start the night before to iron out the hair. Help!!!! she will take up to three hours doing this. Having it professionally straighten is out of the question. We have looked into it. The quote was a little steep $400.00 to $1000.00. We watch your show twice a day. If anyone knows anything about hair it be you girl. Hugs always, Megan Mom.

Hi Tyra:
My story is unlike anyone you have heard before and I am sure that you have heard plenty.
I am a walking train wreck. I am not sure how I've made it this far w/o hair but I have. It's been three years since my hair started falling out. You know being a blk women, its a disaster. I have been wearing hair weaves until it grows bk but it keeps growing a little, giving me a little ray of hope and then falls out again.
I am almost bald. Some spots are bold. I might have some type of scalp condition but no one seems to know anything. My job is suffering and my relationship is going to end if I don't get help. I see myself as being a homeless mess in about a year if I don't get help. I can't focus, sleep or concentrate... What do I do? Where do I go? I need my hair bk...
Please help. Any suggestions will be cherished.
P.S. I truly don't have a lot of money so if the place you refer me to can take some type of payment plan that would be great.
Thanks so much.
Giving up!

Dear Tyra,
I have Americas' worst hair. For my birthday I had it dyed. Well, the color developed and it was GREEN, with brassy lowlights. I had it re done by the same woman four times. on the 3rd time she said I had to bleach it becuaes it wouldn't hold color. So its as white as paper. Then the manager says she'll fix it and gives me lowlights which actually would look good if my hair didn't feel like cotton. Well, that was back in December, and now its almost May. My hair still feels like cotton, and it breaks off in inches. I've tried everything to fix it ,I've even quit blow drying it and straighting it but still no luck. What should I do? I really don't want to pull a Brittany and shave my head.

Dear Tyra,
I din't know where else to put this topic but since it had to do with hair I will put it here. I wish that you would do a show on hair weave techniques and the type of human hair you should buy or what you use yourself because you hair always looks flawless. I have tried different types of hair and different techniques but I have never been satisfied with the results. So if you can give some advise I would appreciate it and so would my hair. Thanks

Tyra, I want to say first of all that I just love you! You are such a wonderful person inside and out. I love both your shows and TIVO every showing. I haven't really told many people about my situation because I am ashamed. I have a scalp condition that is called Deep Folliculitis and I get pimples in any and every place that I have hair. It is being treated with antibiotics, but it takes my hair out. I am 27 and mostly all my hair is bald around the crown area. It has been this way for about 5 years. I wear tracks, but I can't seem to find the right stylist. My hair always seems to look crazy. Do you have any suggestions about what I can do with my hair?
Posted by: Dee | April 20, 2007 10:53 AM
hey Tyra!
I recently had a horrible hair disaster... I am German, 15 years old and my natural hair is blonde. I once dyed it red and after a few months made it blonde again, but it was a much lighter blonde than my natural hair color. So from then on every few months id go back and get highlights. One day i got fed up with dying my hair so i decided to get lowlights and naturally grow out the chemically damaged hair. The problem is i live in the philippines and asian hair is 3 times thicker than european. so many of the hair dresses are used to having to put more chemicals to color the hair. anyway i told my usual hair dresser wat i wanted and he turned it into black! i went back the next day because i didnt like the new look and he said he would remove all the chemicals and make it blonde again but he did the same thing again! so i told him to just put blonde highlights in it but because of the mix of light blonde and black it appeared grey. so a few days later i went back and told him to take all the dark hair and make it blonde.. but with a Golden blonde. Instead he made my hair white! you may ask why i kept going back to the same guy, but the truth is he always did a great job with my hair before and it didnt cost anything to go back. Of coarse after he turned it white we decided to change hair dressers. The new guy completely fixed my hair. although it is still very light and my hair is completely ruined from all the chemicals. Its been a month now and my hair has recovered very well. I plan on going back to the new guy in about a month to get it to become a nice golden blonde but before i do i need to get it much healthier. I know you where hair extensions but do you have any tips on making natural hair healthy again?

Dear Tyra,
I love your Top Model show and have been meaning to write to you since when you were doing the weaves on the girls. I also have a thyroid problem and very fine hair to make it wrose. Because of the thyroid making my hair fall out and my fine hair I look horrible. My sister that has the same problem tried putting a weave in my hair (she has no experience, at all) and made it so much wrose. I want to attempt putting in another weave. I was wondering what supplies I would need because I'm not sure where to go in my city.
I really believe that I really have the wrose hair. I can't use a curling iron or a flat iron because it won't work or last long anyway. Please let me know how I can make it better.
Love ya,
Shary...

Tyra, I have been looking over everyone's comments about their hair. I don't think I have the worst but I am closing in on first place. Over the last 3 years I have been losing my hair. I have thyroid problem which makes it come out every easily. I have a small bald spot on the top of my head and I just don't know what to do with it anymore. My hair is long, almost to the middle of my back and cutting it short worries me. I am over weight so finding a hair style to fit my face, personality, and keeping my husband happy, it is next to impossible. I know when you are over weight having your hair too long or too short makes you look worse. Any suggestions? Love both your shows and no matter what anyone says you always look great. Keep it up.

Dear Ms. Banks,
I am deathly afraid of hair stylists. I don't have hair problems, I have a problem of what to do with my hair. If go to a salon and ask for a cut that fits my face the stylist get upset with me because I don't know the cut I want. I'm 46 years old and the length hair is from 0 inches to 4 or 5 inches depending on where you measure it. I have broken most of it off because I wear a braid most of the time. I have gone natural for a few years and have relaxed it for the past three years. HELP! I'm starting to gray (just a strand or two, three...) and I'm tired of the braid. The shape of my face is a block, and my hair color is a dark sandy brown. HELP ME PPLLLLEEAASSEEEE.

I think you are absolutely beautiful. Your hair is beautiful, it looks really light though, what color is that? My hair does that too after a few flat iron runs. I can dye my hair darker and after a few runs with the iron, it is really light.
Your show is great, and americans next top model, wish I had the guts to be on that show.

I think that you are the most beautiful person in the world, but your hair looks gray on TV. You look amazing in darker hair. It makes you look much older than you really are. Go darker!!

Hey Tyra
Well i really dont have the worst hair I can deal but it is hard.See I remember when I was a little girl and had pretty long hair.Im now 28 but still have the feel of a 21 yr. old. I want my long hair back and you cant find a styliest that does what you want or say just a trim and you end up with no hair.I almost got extenions I hated it so much.Is there any 4-real make your hair go quik?????????
Posted by: crystal | April 19, 2007 9:35 AM
Hello Tyra! On one of your shows, you said that you feel most beautiful in without the hair weave. You know with your natural hair braided. Well if that's the case how come you never come on either of your shows in braids EVER? About a year ago I cut all my hair off down to 1/2 in. Previouslly I had been wearing a relaxer, but got tired of chemical burns and breakage. Now my hair has grow back to about five inches of virgin afro hair. When I am alone in my house I enjoy my hair and feel beautiful.Although when I go out into the world I begin to feel that my hair is ugly. Almost like in white america I have to hide my God-given hair to fit in. Is this the way you feel and the reason I only ever see you in weaves. Also you were unaware, many black women and starting to wear their hair relaxer free. Maybe if you wore you hair naturally sometimes it would help send out a positive message of acceptance for kinky, nappy, afrolistic natural afro hair. Black women struggle so much with hair issues.

Hi Tyra,
I have a show idea! How about helping women who have full natural hair used hair products to accent this beauty. I have experience that women of every race disliking their natural curly hair. Also too how this is sometimes a problem for African Americans to aquire employement if their hair is "too black". I would like to donated a Bella Twist to all of your audience members if you decided to use this idea. Take care Kimbrely www.bellatwist.com

My name is Ashlee and i'm fifteen and have the WORST hair ever. I used to have very nice straight hair and now its all frizzy and curly. My curls though aren't cute. They are uneven and i have to straighten my hair every day and still it's not beautiful. I am used to get compliments on my hair all the time, now people are critisizing it. I can pull off the whole, messy bun thing but i like looking put together and now i can't.

I have course curly with a frizz hair and have to straighten my hair everyday and was wondering if there were any products for me to be able to keep my hair natural when i want to? Thanks!
Posted by: Narlene | April 6, 2007 6:22 PM
Tyra,
Thanks for all that you are doing for all women, especially younger women who look up to you as a role model. I am a very young and fit 53 years old (which is ancient to most of your viewers I suppose), but still love most of your shows anyhow.
I found your show on "America's Worst Hair" to be interesting. All my life I've had exactly the opposite problem of all the women on the show. While I have no complaints about my natural blonde color, I hate the texture of my hair---thin, baby-fine, oily and lifeless. Most products for thin hair end up making it look even worse. On top of all of that, I don't have a good face shape for short or mid-length hair and I also don't want to look old before my time either. I also like having it long, because then when the humidity is 95% or it's really hopeless, I can at least tie it back. Perms and coloring have not helped, especially since they just grow out anyhow and damage my hair.
You did a program about one "extreme" in the world of hair. How about a show to help those of us at the other extreme who have non-existent hair because it's fine, thin and lifeless with no shape or form whatsoever? We're out there with very few options to improve the appearance of our hair. So many products in the store are for ladies with thick, curly hair and we feel left out of it all.
Thanks for your consideration.

Hey Tyra,First of all thanks for sticking up for the fluffy girls.I'm not sure I have the worst hair but I am a clipaholic ever since the invented the twist and clip I've been clipping my hair up.day after day

Hello Tyra i am from Australia and i watch your show all of the time. I am in need of some help. I have thick long blonde hair with a really big forehead. I dont have a fringe as my hair is parted in the middle. I have a party coming up in a few weeks and i was hoping that you could give me some suggestions of what styles i can use when i have my hair up or down.
Thanks for you time
Regards

Hey Tyra,
I love your show, my hair is always a mess. Whenever I wash and dry it, it gets extremely frizzy. I have to put frizz cream in it,but it still gets frizzy. When I straighten it, my little baby hairs just won't stay down.
PLEEASE HELP ME...
Posted by: jenny | March 31, 2007 6:11 PM
I do not think that anyone could have hair worst than mine. It won't grow. I am so embarrassed by my hair that I cover it up ALL the time with wigs and weaves. I would really just like my own hair to grow or get a healthy weave or braided solution that looks good.
Posted by: Renni | March 31, 2007 3:53 PM
Hi Tyra. I'm 14 turning 15 in a few months. I just read this post and I decided to post a comment. A few months ago I had decided to get side bangs to accent my "round doll" face. People say that it's pretty. But they have absolutely no idea how it gets when it's time to wash it. My hair is extra silkier(from what my mom tells me) than most people, so it's very prone to get greasy if I use any type of hair product. My bangs have a tendency to split apart when they want to, and when I brush them, they separate again unless I hold them together with a hair clip. I don't think it's the most outrageous hair problem in the world, it's just, ugh!
^^
P.S-I watch ANTM a lot, and my favorite one was when you went to Japan. I'm a big fan of Japanese culture, and I totally loved how you looked in that kimono.

Hi Tyra. Until this past Friday (3.16.07), I did not have the worst hair but now, I feel I do. A girl, who's done my hair on and off for years, but in a different perm on Friday and caused gobs of my hair to come out. I was fortunate enough to have enough hair saved in the front that covered the really bad spot in the back. Before this, I have beautiful, thick hair. Now, I have thin hair that's going to require much work to return to it's thickness. What's worse is I'm not sure if this was an accident or done on purpose.

Hi Tyra. I am Sarah and I’m a 25 year old single mother of three and I have the worst hair of all because I am ashamed to go out in public with my real hair. I wear wigs to cover up what’s hiding underneath. I have worn wigs for since I was 19. My hair started to come out when I was 15 and I was nearly totally bald at 19. I cant afford a hair transplant or hair restoration. If you can please help me so that I can be more confident in myself. Please Tyra help me! I also want to be on top model so this will definitely help me to achieve that goal in my life. -your biggest fan

hi tyra!
Before i have alot of hair and is the perfect natural hair with alot of volume,texture to it and etc...but then one day stupid me i want to dyed my hair and then bleach it and then keep dying my hair killing my hair rather than cuttin it off..so later on i bleached my hair 3times and then re-dyed my hair i think about 6 more time so i keep killing my hair without giving my hair a break..but thats was not it..i decided to get a straight perm because after i ruin my hair so many times is not straight anymore...Now i don't really know what to do with my hair so i decided to dyed my hair so it looks like my natural hair ..but it takes forever for my hair to recover all the damaged i did to it...
now --part of my hair breaks apart when i got a perm and my dead hair's still there cause i don't want to cut it..if i do cut it it will be tooo short..everytime i wash my hair after the shower is either i have to blowdry it and put a lil mouse into it so it can have volume or straitghten it but that can only help a lil bit ,you can still see my dry and dead hair..well if i don't blowdry it or straighten it my hair would just flat out,and you can see right away my dryness hair and is the worst hair ever..
well my hair is growing out pretty long but i don't want to cut it cause the hair that breaks apart and got chop off is next to my bangs and my bangs is pretty short where i cannot tie it up only use a pin or a clipper..but then i still have the bottom hair which is long..so what you think i should do? how can i make my hair turn out healthier like before? how can i make my hair habe alot of volume and texture like before? which is the best conditioner for my hair?
Posted by: lena | March 15, 2007 10:20 PM

Hi Tyra,
My name is Sherri and i've had the worst hair ever i think in the whole world. I just wish i could just have normal hair where i don't half to use products in it. I've been growning my hair for a while now because it use to be a short afro and i mean short. I'm a native women and usually you would think nice long stright black hair but no way not this native, my hair is long and corse worst then horse hair and its really curley. If i don't put any products in my hair i would look like a cave women....hahaha,for real. I don't know what happened but when i was younger my mother thought it would be a great idea to perm my hair because she thought it would make more curls but i already had enough and ever since then my hair has never been the same. It's too funny because everytime my friends and i watch a talk show and they say anything about do you have really frizzy hair? they all look at me....!. I bet you, that you won't have anything that will fix this bee hive rats nest, But If you think you can or want to give it a try ...halla back at me and good luck!!!.

Dear Tyra-
My daughter has the worst hair. She's always trying to save money, but the style and haircolor she's sporting now is HORRIBLE. She looks like she spilled a bottle of peroxide on it and then hacked at it with a pocket knife. I love my daughter, but her hair is truly in need of help. Being a mommy of two small children doesn't help because besides being damaged it's always pulled back in a ponytail. She used to have beautiful hair, but now it's just awful. So if you can please please please help my daughter with her problem hair.

My hair is uber bad, I have naturally thick dark hair, but over the past few years, I have self-colored it and straightened it so ofter, that it has turned a gross copper color and is dry and brittle and whenever I go outside and the temperature is more than 60 degrese, my hair poofs! It is aweful! It takes me an hour to do my hair, and then I have to sleep on it to get it more calm, and re-straighten it in the morning! Should I go to a salon and get my a japenese relaxing process thing done?!

Hi, I do hope you are the one reading this, I watch your show when I get the chance and I really do enjoy the topics you cover most of the time. I have a common problem that I share with many other women but it isn't talked about much. I have very thin hair and I have to wear a hairpiece, which I really hate, but I have no choice. I watch those ads about hair replacements for men and they do say it is good for some women but you just don't hear about women getting the help. I know it is very expensive but I can't afford anything like that so I live with my problem. I would really like to hear about help women can get that doesn't cost a fortune. I am presently unemployed, and when I work I live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to pay my bills, so there would be no way I could afford hair replacement, I am trying to save up to buy another hairpiece, but it will be awhile so I live with what I have. Do you have any suggestions? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for a wonderful show, you are a very beautiful person.

Hey Tyra!
I will have to say i have the worst hair ever. I am a young African American woman. I am 18 years old and never had a date before or a boyfriend. My hair is very very short I am going bald already. I have huge bald patches in the middle of my head. I have huge pimples in my scalp also and very visible for others to see. It's very hard for me to do my hair. I have very low self-esteem about it. I never get asked out. All of my sisters have long hair and i dont and they always making fun of me and calling me outrageous names. I Only get Micro braids in my hair but that only makes me look halfway decent. Sometimes I go on phone pary lines just to get a guys attention, and so i can feel wanted. I met alot of guys off the party line and slept with all of them except one. I met about 13 guys on there. But i just need help!

Hey Tyra. I love your show and watch it everyday. My favorite episodes are the ones where you give people hair makeovers! And let me tell you I need a hair makeover. I have been struggling with out of control hair my whole life. I never wear my hair down because if I do it frizzes out everywhere! I have curly hair that I just cant figure out how to control it. I have even tried to have it straightend and controlled by professionals and they couldnt even do it. So I just continue to pull it back in a pony tail with lots and lots of hairspray and mouse! Please help me find a hair style and product to control my crazy frizzy hair! I would give anything just to wear my hair down for one day.

Hey Tayra I am responding to the show that aired as a repeat on Feb.28, the worst hair in the world I have to admit I was very disappointed with the results of the make overs. I have curly hair and when brushed out it looks just like the first girl that had the big hair. The answer to almost all of the hair repairs was to make it straight. I am 37 years old and have finally started to embrase my curls because for a working mom of 2 I just simply do not have the time to straighten it all the time...The message I got watching that show was not to work with what you have on a daily basis but to change it. And all of them where changed to straight hair. It’s confirming what I felt my whole life that straight hair is better and I am offended. After years of struggling to change how I grew up feeling the Tyra banks show just reinforced my suspicions after all these years which is change who you really are...I want to know how young girls with curls are supposed to feel and frankly I am not sure what message you are sending them you are so righteous about young girls and there self-esteem when today I feel like you went out of your way to make fun of people that didn’t have pin straight hair and to me it is inexcusable I think your people should make sure you are more sensitive to your entire audience we all don’t have personal hair stylist and make -up artist..Tyra be carful ..women and girls and there hair is a very touchy subject.
Thank you

Posted by: Verlandra | February 27, 2007 5:56 PM
I have the worst hair in Canada. It's always been my bane. I'm late for work almost everyday because of it. I have mid-eastern hair and it is very dry and breaking off because I straighten it so much. I have to wash it almost everyday because I work out almost every night and it gets drenched from sweat. I have to chemically straighten it and flat iron it so it can hold up in humid weather. It cannot be worn naturally because it's just way too frizzy, and has no consistent pattern, it's consists of funky waves/curl/ and just pure frizz. Growing up my brothers would always call me "Captain Cave Man" from the cartoon. Straightening it makes me feel like I look normal (if that makes any sense). I spend alot of money on hair care products (protein treatments, heat protector, shampoo, conditioner, not too mention the $700+ to chemically straighten it). I'm getting married in the fall and my fiance has never seen my hair in it's natural state and I don't think he's suppportive of me cutting it short. I feel like I'm deceiving him and I'm worried he won't be attracted to me if he really knew what I looked like. I have a feeling we may argue alot too, because once we move in together we will be commuting downtown together and I cannot make him late as I always am now. And what's worse is that I'm starting to grow quite a few gray hairs and I can't even colour it because it's not strong enough. I am very open to suggestions on how to care for my hair that is not so damaging and time consuming and makes me look more like a beauty than a beast. I'm not even looking forward to my wedding day because I know my hair will look awful. I wish I could just throw on a wig. I don't think I've ever admitted all this to anyone...except to maybe my mother (since I took after her). I know there are people who are much more worse off in their lives, and I know it sounds silly and even vain, but the truth is it's hard to feel good about myself (no matter how hard I try in other aspects of my life) when I have to struggle everyday with something as simple as the hair on my head.

I feel I have terrible hair... I have been looking for ways to get a hair transplant because my hair wont grow, its falls out its just ugly. my husband makes fun of my no having hair. He has never really seen it though because i keep it braided and i never take it all out because i dont want to feel bad or more ugly. I told him one day maybe i should try for a short hair style he said no because he dont like girls with short hair..that hurt me so..because im not his girlfriend im his wife. i just hate my hair. :(
Posted by: Sherie | February 27, 2007 12:03 PM
HEY TYRA!
Okay, first of all, I love you! You seem like an amazing person. Thanks for everything you've done.
My hair is SO weird. One, it's really thick. Two, it's really dry because I've died it so many times (and I've stopped, I swear!). Three, it takes the highest level on a hair straightener to finally get it straight. Four, whenever I get it cut, it always ends up looking funky.
I would totally trade my hair with someone else!
My uncle lives in Paris (now in Singapore), and when I went to visit him, he payed to get my hair cut at a French hair stylist. He also payed to get it chemically straightened! (Yes, my uncle is amazing.) I was so excited. But, now the chemicals are leaving, and it's back to the craziness!

Dear Tyra,
Hello, My name is Ashlie, Im almost 18 years old. All of my life I have been fighting with my hair problem. It is really hard dealing with it. My hair is really tightly curled. Horribly thick. I cant wear it down and dry when its curly because it is way out there like a fro. I have to wet it to put it up everyday. I wear my hair in a bun everyday. I go through a bottle of hair spray every month to a month in a half maybe even less than that. If I straiten my hair it takes 2 hours or more the longest was 4 hours because its extreamly curly and thick. It takes me forever to brush all of the tangles out. I have never had it dyed or highlighted. School was really hard for me elementary through high school I got the nicknames "poodle" and "Mop Top" I use to come home crying all of the time. I was on depression medicine for a while because I was so self conciouse. Tyra, I need advice or something done, can you please help??

Tyra, no one ever done my hair when I was in elementary and I have been trying to do my own hair since I was 11. Being that I never had money at the time to go to the shop and get it done or buy the proper hair products,my hair was completetly damage and short. I am 18 now and my hair still damage and short. I don't know how to get it to grow. Now I am buying all kind of hair growing products and nothing has changed.

Dear Tyra, my biggest self esteem problem is my hair. it is naturally dark with horrible grey coming in at the roots. I contribute this to having a full house hold of 5 kids ranging from 6 to 17, and i am only 35.
Anyway it's dyes black and i have been growing it for 3 years and it just stopped growing and started to bush.
i would die for extentions, that would make me feel so sexy! i can deal with being a bit chubby, but when i see those lucky girls with the flipping from side to side hair, i want to cry.
extetions here are out of my price range about 1,000 dollars for them.
if you ever need hair models, give me a shout out!LOL
love ya, Donna

Hi Tyra, Just 3 weeks ago one of "Your People" called me at my home and asked me about my 80s hair, I was so shocked that I "choked" and couldn't even talk, I'm sure I blew my chance to meet you and have your staff help me with my BIG hair. I'm in true need of your help and like I said when I finally did have a chance at getting help I got scared and I didn't answer the questions the correct way your person wanted me to. I also tried to call her back and I could never get threw, Tyra I beg could I please have one more chance to have you redo my hair, I'm in real need of your advice, in 3 weeks I'm moving back to Sarasota Florida and this year I want to go back into "doing hair" again, I need to look good so that others come to me to get there hair done, I feel they look at my hair and they think thats what I'm going to do to them, I'm really good at doing others hair but when it comes to doing mine I just can't, my hair is BIG and Long (down to my butt) please give me your help so I can look good enough to go back to doing what I love to do the most, being a hair designer is my hobbie I miss it so much. PLEASE give me one more chance PLEASE, I need my "real" life back, all I want to do is be a hair designer and I know the reason I'm not getting the customers to come to me is because they fear my hair.!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME. Please Call Me Back. (I promise not to mess up again when they ask me questions.) If you can't help me I promise to stop writting and bothering you (this is my 5th time begging you) I respect you and if you can't help I truly understand, I love everything about you. Your friend for life, Susan.

I have sufferd with the worlds worst hair since I was in middle school. When I decided to cut my hair off when I was in elementary school I have had to ware my hair cut and weaved up. It is hard, brittle, dry, very damaged, and unmanageble. Once when I was gettiing it done for my birthday I had put a black rinse on it the week before and then I went to the shop and I wanted it dyed blond, I forgot to tell my cosnmotolgist she started to bleach my hair and it turned money green all over. She had to put uncolor on it and wash it 10 before it finnally came out to a dirt brown. I was unhappy on my birthday and then at the end of the night by so may chemical be placed in my hair that day when i went out and started danceing and sweating my hair began to fall on the floor. I walked went home and cryed myself to sleep on my 18th birthday.

Dear Tyra,
I am a 30ish mother of 2 boys that say the song "1985" by Bowling for Soup, was written for me! I have very thick, poker straight natural hair. It is an ugly brown. So, I have colored it a mahogany with hi-lites. Then to eveyones shock, I got a perm! There is only one way I know how to style my hair with a perm: lots of mousse and tons of White Rain Mega-Hold hairspray!!!! My hair is so big that not only my kids think I fell straight from the 80's but so does my husband and the rest of our family! Please help me if you can! My family deserves to see me looking beautiful. They have been beside me thru health problems and so many accidents that I should not have lived thru and I would love to do something for them.
And just for you, I think that you are a beautiful, powerful role-model for todays youth. I wish that I had girls so that I could have them looking up to you for a hero.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi Tyra,
I have let me hair grow long at first because the boyfriend I was with said I look better this way.
Now there is no boyfriend and I do like my hair a little long. I have been coloring my hair to blonde. I would like to get a real blonde. Now my problem is that It is always dry and flys away.
I have a great job now that I have had for 3 years. I am looking into getting into manangement. But I want to look the part. My hair is a problem. It goes it own way. Not my way. I would like to have it styled nice and have it straight at times. But I really think that my hair has a mind of its own.
I hope that you can help me get out of the pony tail life. Into a management style.

Hi Tyra! For the past two years or so I have been dying my hair blonde. Natually, my hair is jet black. The issue that I am having and have always had is this: Every time I go to get my hair done, I tell the stylist that I want it blonde. How hard can that be right? Well, I've ended up with orange, yellow, white, red... Recently, I started doing it myself because I figured, well why pay someone so much money to screw it up, when I could probably do a better job myself. You should see my hair! I look pretty somedays and bad other days. I just give up. Your hair looks so beautiful and natural the color that it is now. I just wish for once!!! I could have my hair colored and have it look natural and beautiful. Thanks

I am begging you please do another hair episode and PLEASE help her!! Her hair is the talk of the town. Everyone is always asking will Kelly (often referred to as Mop Top) ever do anything with that hair? The problem is that she doesn't care at all. She wakes up every morning and heads straight for the gel! She could have such cute curly locks but she feels like she needs to weigh those beautiful curls down with almost a bottle of gel a day! It is so gross, anyone who ever touches her hair has to go wash the sticky goop off their hands! I wish show you a picture because words can't describe this disaster!! So Tyra I am begging you PLEASE HELP HER!!!

Posted by: Marcia | February 15, 2007 9:02 AM
here we go again,i'm so sick of these stupid makeover shows.You get mad when the tabloids call you fat,& you're always going on & on about sisterhood,yet,you feel the need to devote a whole show to america's worst hair,people should be able to wear their hair anyway they want.most ofthe people didn't look bad.we need more individuality in this world.more people who aren't afraid to have their OWN STYLE,whether in be hair or clothes.sometimes i look at the audiences on your show,so many of the women have similar hairstyles,the same jewelry,oh-so trendy clothes-BORING!
Posted by: ayanna | February 15, 2007 8:29 AM
Hi,Tyra I don't know a person who has a worst hair day. Me being 14 teen years old you is my hero, because you is the most beaituful person I ever seen. What I'am trying to say is that I love you and your show,and that I want to see you one day,because I have some question I want to ask about you and your career.
Posted by: Mariah | February 15, 2007 7:53 AM
Tyra-
I was so disappointed in some of these girls on the show. It was obvious the 'scene girl' and the one with the rainbow dreads were on myspace--they both scream of a bad myspace page, so I looked them both up and of course found them. I knew on the show the scene girl was not happy with the makeover. She was pretty ungrateful for a chance of a lifetime! But then I noticed the one with the dreads posted a blog saying she can't wait to get some money so she can get her dreads back. What the hell! There are plenty of people in need of hair makeovers over these ungrateful girls. The other ones who got makeovers seemed genuinely thankful and that's good, but next time you guys shouldn't waste your time and money on people who don't show appreciation.

Tyra,
As an African American women, what is the best hair weave brand/product within a reasonable price? I love to add length to my hair as well as fullness. Can you give a list of the top weave hair product lines?
Thanking you in advance,

Hi Tyra, saw your show today and I have a friend who is in definite of help. Her hair used to be naturally curly until a stylist tried straightening it and coloring it at the same time. Plus where we live, the minerals in the water damage one's hair as well. It is a nasty rat's nest.

Hey Ty!! I watched ur show today. There was no excuse for me to miss it because in CT we had a SNOW DAY!!!!YAY!! the first one all winter we havent had much snow this winter at all this was the very first time it really snowed. But I watched ur show and. I can't believe people actually put wool in their hair. That is just un-called for. I can't believe that girl didnt like her hair. She looked so pretty with her makeover. But u know what they say "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" She will end up going back to her bleached blonde drag queen mess...ha ha! You had some crazy hairstyles today yourself. That whole blonde track OMG Ty!! you are one brave women because I would never do that all by myself. I would need someone to join me.
You know Ty u should keep your hair a dark brown color or a red color because that blonde color that you have now does'nt look good on you. Your already light skinned and your hair is lighter it does not look right. Please dont take this personal but you should really trash that color. It doesn't flatter your face at all.
When are you going to do some kind of talented teen segment. I would really love to dance on your show. and SHAKE MY BODY!!!LOL
Much Love xoxo

Dear Tyra,
I am truly stuck in the 80's with big, frizzy hair. I color it once in a while. I always used the box colors when I was younger but now have my daughter highlight it. The problem is no matter who styles my hair, I go home and blow it back to my same old style from the 80's. I am part black and part white so I have a lot of fine frizzy hair that looks full but is actually not. My hair changes texture with the weather. When I lived in Brooklyn, NY it was curly like a jerry curl in the summer and now I live in Arizona it is more without curl so then I have to blow dry it and put in curlers to get curl. Anyway, they say I have a pretty face but never wear my hair off my face. I just never really know how to do my hair so basically it stays the same. I would love for someone to give me some new ideas because I never have time for myself. I used to take more care of myself when I was younger (in my 40's) but let myself go. My daughter who is a stylist says there is no hope for me because I don't listen to her when she tries to change my hair. So, what do you think. Is there hope? P.S. - Luv your show and I think you look great!

hi tyra i just finished seeing the episode on americas worst hair. its ironic that i switched on my t.v. and their it was and i was just complaining to my parents about how drastically my hair texture has changed in the last 6 months. i used to have that average latina hair, dark black. and if you put mouse in it i had beautiful curls and if you blowdryed it i had beautiful straight hair.but i cant even recall the moment it began happening but i would come out of the shower and it was pin straight and so dry and burnt-like that it looks like a straight frizz ball and it tangles. if i blowdry my hair its ok but the ends feel burnt if i put mousse it doesnt curl anymore. but it falls off easily. my hairdresser cut it because she said it would solve the problem and i think she only made it worse because it hasnt grown since she cut it. tyra, id do anything to get the texture i had before. please help.
p.s. the same has been happening to my mom hair please please help!

Hey Tyra, I just watched the show about America's Worst Hair and I was curious about something. One of the ladies was pregnant and yet the stylist still colored her hair. I was always told that if you are pregnant you should not do that. Is that true?

Tyra,
I have dread locks and have had them since 1989. They are below my rear end. I try not to work in the corporate sector, but even in back office/mailroom jobs etc. people are brainwashed about the whole good hair/bad hair syndrome. Besides that, it seems that your views perpetuate the whole idea that crimpy or kinky hair is bad and should be straightened. So many people watch your show that when you do those shows on hair you make my life more difficult, especially among young people. It's already a problem that black girls think straightening and weaving are the only things that they should be doing with their hair. Since you're this fashion guru, you should do a show that promotes all the beautiful things that can be done with black peoples' hair without straightening. This other stuff is taking us backwards in the hair department and reinforcing self hate and low self esteem as far as beauty is concerned. And, as we all know, that spills off into all kinds of areas in our lives.
Posted by: Veronica | February 14, 2007 2:33 PM
Hi Tyra
you are the most amazing woman ever and i just wanted to tell you that when i was watching the bad hair episode when you had that bad weave on it didnt even matter because you could still tell how beautiful you are. you have the most amazing smile and i look up to you very much!!

Hi Tyra i love your so soooooooo much. Okay well it's not just my mother, it's me too! My mothers hair is sooooo well you know wack. it's two different colors. My hair is okay i guess. It's a natuarl blonde and it has never been permed or primped. But the problem is it won't do anything! i even try to put it into a ponytail and it frizes and by the time i reach back to pull it up, the rubber band is half way down my hair! For me and my mom it's horrible when we're invited to lets say elegant parties, because our hair just falls down out of braids, ponytails, curls, everthing! Please Tyra, help me somehow. Tell me how to fix it or helps us pleeeease! i couldn't go another day with it doing this!

Hello Tyra
First i have to say that i love you ! you are insperational for woman of all ages you are my favorite celebrity because you are such a postivie example for women, it is especially important to me because i have a 5 yr old daughter and iam so worried about her influences these days.Anyway iam writting about my mom, she is recently seperated from her man of 12 yrs,she has been through so much in her life, and to top it all off she is totally clueless about her hair. she has beautiful curl and length but she has no idea how to care for it so it is frizzy and dead and just so bad. she cant afford to have her hair done professionally. when i sent her in to get it cut and dyed she looked so much worse after. Can you help my mom get some great hair she can do her self? I think it would really help her in alot of ways! I love my mom but she has some seriously bad hair!

hey tyra! i wouldn't say i have the ugliest hair cuz i know there are others who had it worst. I am 19 years old and asian.However i dont have that typical thick jet black asian hair..i envy their hair! I have the total opposite..THIN,soft and blk/brownish hair. I had thin hair ever since I was a child. it sucks. not only that I also have oily hair. i wash it once everyday. Thin and oily is the worst type of hair anyone can have..its looks WET and it looks even THINNER. I cant leave the house feeling good about my self unless it is washed which i dont have the time to do evey morning. i tried washing/blow dry my hair at night before going to bed, well that doesnt work it just turns oily as soon as i wake up. TYRA PLEASE HELP!!!
THANK YOU!
p.s. i also get extreme static winter hair, any tips? I love your show its different from all the other!!=)
Posted by: chou | February 14, 2007 12:03 PM
Caught part of the show, I think women that show there own personailty is cool and great, we do that with many things in our lifes not just hair. Sometimes it is easier to just shave it and go bald due to many issues we all face. Maybe more power to the Bald is Beautiful?
To the comments from Barbra, Diana , try checking out support boards, heralopeica is a great learning and sharing site online and many many more great sites dealing with hairloss.
DeAsia, Its kind of you to ask help for your teacher ,because she probly needs help, She probly cant afford something better,or maybe she is like many and does not have the education to know any difference when it comes to haircovering.
To Kasey, Yes being bald has its perks, But taking it on and off day after day year after year takes its toll. Wigs are not a cure for baldness. You go ladies. Find your path there is hope and help.

I just wanted to say that the chick with the RAINBOW BRIGHT hair, was OFF the HOOK!! I have never seen anything like that. Was it made out of yarn or was it REAL hair? It looked like it could have been Dread Locks too, I really couldn't tell, but it was a MESS!!

Hey Tyra, the girl you had on there today did not appreciate what a good job ya'll did today. BUT I think they did the unthankable with her hair good job!

The girl you had on your show today 02/14/07 that did not like her makeover was very attractive. After her makeover she was even more attractive. If you could let her know that I support her on her decision to go back, because you have to be comfortable with yourself but she looked better after rather than before.

Tyra, Tyra, Tyra!
I wish I had the help of your glam squad! I have highlighted and died my hair over 10 times in the past 3 months trying to achieve the color that YOU have!! I have your pictures hanging in my bathroom to match the color that you have or at least close and I can't get my hair to come even close! It's rediculous!! I can't afford to do it at a salon, so I do it at home in the comfort of my own bathroom. :-) Please tell me what to do Tyra. All I want is great color! That's it! I can handle the rest. LOL

OMG! PLEASE HELP my daughter, Alisia (A-lee-cee-a)! For ten long years she has been wearing weaves that she's been gluing onto her own hair. Every time she would replace the old weave with the new weave, the glue was taking out her hair; and she would add more glue to what little hair she had left! Well finally last month she decided not to wear weaves anymore, and her hair look like a HOT MESS! The ends of of hair are completely bald ... the top of her hair is long and uneven (vision Don King) ... the back on her hair is short (gotta get in that kitchen)! Her hair is so damaged that EVERYTIME she combs her hair, hair is EVERYWHERE! She refuses to get her hair treated because she is embarassed on how her hair looks. She also has the AUDACITY to put a flat iron on the top part of her hair! So for one month now, she's been walking around the house looking like Don King's Queen! Just a HOT MESS! My daughter needs tremendous help with her hair. She's got to go to somebody's beauty shop! Somebody PLEASE HELP Alisia's hair catastrophe! I can't take it any longer and neither can she!

It would be nice to see a show where thinning and balding hair is addressed. I am 60 years old and I know thinning hair is a part of growing old, but mine is excessive.

My hair is a mess!!! It is so thick that I can never get it to stay. I could try every hair product out there to get it to stay and it won't work. It also gets really poofy. I'm so lost in what to do so i usualy walk around in only two hair styles. Those are either pulling it up into a pony tail or wearing it down. Please help!

My hair well its a Srunchie or a clip day everyday. Havent had hair colored, cut or styled in about 6 years. If its colored its done by me but havent done that in long time due to got it all over the bathroom door and won't come off have to paint. My hair is Dark Brown almost Black. I cut my hair myself if needed. I bend my head over and chop chop to cut the length. My Grandma is a beutican for over 30 yrs and she always did my hair but i moved from Texas which is were im from in 1996. Every since ive been scared to let anyone do my hair for fear they will cut it short or mess it up worse than it is. I also have another embarrassing problem but he its you tyra i think i can let it go. I have been suffering from Dandruff for quit a few years and no matter what over the counter shampoo's i get it doesnt make it go away. We are not well off in fact we struggle just to keep afloat and do not have medical insurance. So can't afford a Dermatologist to check out what is going on with my scalp. You name any shampoo for dandruff ive tried it. All with these ingredients Salicic acid,coaltar, Pyrithione zinc, ive even tried Hydrogen peroxide with a cotton ball applying it per the book Haircutting for Dummies. I know you can't get your hair done when you have this condition no one want's to do your hair they will refer you to a dermatologist so that is a big reason also haven't had hair done in long time its embarassing. It itches all the time to girl and then there go the flakes falling down likt snow. Please help me tyra im tired of living with this problem and tired of having no style i will have no problem coming on to the show and letting evertbody know i have this problem if you promist to help me get it fixed. Im deperate at this point. I sure hope you pick me. Love Angela

Dear tyra let me tell you about my teacher Mrs.Edwards who works at Tyrone Middle school. Those wigs that she wears are so played out! Then she makes it so obvious when it's long one day then short the next, and then it's long! Tyra you could go to any 8th grader at Tyrone Middle school and ask them what they think about her hair and they will tell you the same thing.... That those hairstyles got to go!!! please help her.

Tyra, I think you're beautiful,however, I do believe that your hair sleek straight and dyed that extremely light brown almost blonde does not suit you. My personal opinion, but I believe you should stick to a darker brown, with those awsome curls around your face. Love your show, Julie.

My best friend and I both have curly super thick frizzy hair! Is so hard to control the friz!! especially her - she has kinky curls, a super lions mane!! There is no fun way to style out hair :-( its just up or down and curly!! My hair is dyed, dyed, dyed so much that even a hair stripper wont take the color out!!!! Such a disaster!
