Hey Tyra!

Omg I just did my bangs and they cut them too short, now i am afraid of ever cutting bangs.. but yours are great i love them.

My name is Ladunni and i have horrible hair.... it is soooooooooooooooooooooo tangled!!!i have been relaxing it for a year and the breakage isnt very bad at all but when i wash my hair i cannot comb through my hair without pulling my hair out!!!!! and i cant go swimming with my friends because when it gets wet it air dries puffy!!!! i wish it could airdry straight and detangled!!!! please please please help me!!! by the way i think that you are a wondeful role model for young girls like me and one of the most beautiful and inspirational women ever!

Dear Tyra,

I am sadden by the comments that I hear because this is a self-esteem issue that most minority women are dealing with. Unfortunately, from an early age, we are taught from our own families and society that thick hair is unattractive. Yes we are beginning to wear our hair natural but mostly in some type of braids or dreadlocks. Not many of us are wearing our hair "out" in it's natural healthy state. We are too ashamed and worry how other people will react to the "puffy hair". Look at black hair magazines. They tend to only show straight long weave hair and relaxed hair styles. When they do show a natural hair, they will show a women with biracial hair that has loose curls. I am proud of my thick tightly curled hair. I go out in public with my natural hair and I get mixed reactions.People, mostly other women, have talked about me and laughed. I find that men tend to embrace my natural hair. You have to be confident, know who you are and know that God made you in HIS image.

Hey Tyra. My name is Hermionne and I'm 17 years old. I have the worst hair anyone can possibly have. If I didn't look so terrible as a baldheaded person, I would probaly go bald. My hair has been through so much. It keeps falling out, its been 2-3 years now. I had thick medium length hair. Last April for my birthday I got a relaxer done by the Dominicans in Brooklyn, New York....the hairdresser left the relaxer in my hair for quite too long. I urged her to rinse it out. Everything seemed okay after, until a few days later the middle of my head wouldn't stop itching. I noticed that everytime I scratched it more and more hair would fall out. During gym class I patted my head and a large amount of hair was in my palms. It's really embarrassing. Overall, my hair is shortm but the middle of my head is like a boys'. Since my hair is alread short, its hard to cover it up and the sides of my head are just terrible. I've tried treating it professionally, but unfortunately that didn't work. So yes I'm always going to be the black girl with the thick short messy hair. This really affects me because I don't believe that I have good looks. I just wish something could be done. Maybe braids? Idk. Do you think there's any hope for my hair? Can there be a miracle? Please help me. I'm graduating in June and I already decided not to attend my prom.

I HAVE HORRIBLE HAIR EVERYTIME I STRAITEN IT IT GETS PUFFY AFTER 2 HOURS AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT AND IT SOMETIMES LOOKS NICE BUT ITS SO RARE I NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS MESSED UP DAMAGED UGLY HAIR AND I LOVE YOUR AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL SHOW IT ROCKS

Hi Tyra, I am a 34 year old black woman who has felt ugly and insecure for a long time. My family has the worst gene(I feel it's a disability) ever! There are 3 generations of women (including myself) with hair thinning/baldness. My grandmother, mother, cousin,and I are dealing with this issue. It is a very hard thing to live with. Me and my family live our lives hiding behind wigs, and hair weave (we have to use the bonding glue to make the hair stay in place). Who wants to wear wigs in their early 20's? (Unless it was a fashion statement). I have been on medication for depression, feeling no sense of self- worth. My favorite game was the blame game. I would blame my grandmother for passing the trait to my mother (both are completly bald in the crown area)and my mother for passing it to me. The older I get the more depressed I get because I don't want to look like them. I know that's not nice, but that's how I feel. I know how hard it is for my mother and the way she feel when she looks in the mirror. I'm her mini me, I feel the same way. When I'm in transition from taking one hair weave out to put another in I just cry and say that the person in the mirror is not me. The mirror is my worstest enemy. I'm always looking for different methods besides wigs to help my mother, myself, and my cousin. I feel even worser for my cousin because she's younger and have it just as worst as my mother and grandmother. I would always question god like why us? I don't have a life and neither do my cousin because of this. I 've went to school for different things but I didn't have the confidence I feel I needed to succeed in the work force/business world or any world( I still don't). People can be so mean making smart comments like we choose to look like this. I need help dealing with this problem. If not physical, at least mentally. I have 6 beautiful daughters, and if one of them have this problem in the future I need to be there to support them mentally. I didn't get that kind of support when this started happening to me because my mom was (and still is)trying to cope with the same issue herself. My grandma just tell us all to throw on a wig. That's because that's all she knew. For once we would like to feel normal, like going swimming with my kids, putting our hair in different styles (without seeing the tracks from the weave), ponytails, etc. If there is any help possible in the Illinois area we would love it if you could guide us in the most affordable direction besides Hair Restoration surgery places. Your information and help could save 3 possibly more generations of the same humiliation that I've had to deal with. Your help is greatly apreciated!
Thanks, yours truly
Denise R.

I lost my hair to Chemo...I also lost a breast to Cancer.I can live without the breast...My head feels like a eye magnet.There are babies with more hair than me.I feel like I do not appeal to a man because of my thin hair.Can you help?

Dear Tyra,

How are you today? I saw your show today and each time i watch your show, i just can't help but love everything about you especially your hair, it's so BEAUTIFUL... and you are such an amazing Angel.

I saw some hair-line ad and i got in touch with them cos i have thinning hair-line and i'm feedup of wearing bad weaves that does not look natural but as a stay at home Mom i can't afford it. So, Could you please recommend a weave that will look and feel natural and also affordable? I will appreciate your reply so PLEASE reply.

Have a nice day!

Maureen.

Tyra, I am 37 and been dealing with the forehead issue since I was a kid. What can I do to not make my forehead look so large and out there? I never wear my hair back off my face. I think you should do a show about people with large foreheads.

Dionne,

dear Tyra,
im 12 so im still in school and cant cover my hair its extremely thick but its short and poofy. i always see people staring at me when im walking and if i put it behind my ears it still will fall right out thats got to be the worst

Hey Tyra
I'm probably the most clueless person when it comes to hair; I have always wore my hair in braids, I'm 26 and ever so tired of looking like "Baby Girl" I have no idea what a weave or fusing is or for that fact getting extensions. I seen in a magazine that a cap is put onto the head and then hair is applied to the cap, is that what hair extensions are? Tyra I need help and a hair miracle fast!

I am Rebecca and I am 13yrs old, this isn't exactly for me but my step-sister has the WORST hair it is really long and frizzy, and she doesn't take care of her hair, but so it won't cost alot because we aren't the richest people. Help!

Tara, LOVE Your Show!

I was watching your show yesterday, and your hair color looked fantastic! I wanted my hair color to look like yours and decided to go out and buy hair color (permanent). What a mistake! In my crown, my hair color turned golden-orange. HELP! What color do you use? I am African American and my natural hair color is dark chocolate. If I decided to go to a professional, what color should I ask for?

`Dorcus`

Hey Tyra! I'm a white girl in need of help! I'm hair clueless. I've tried many styles over the years, the most recent of which has been a sling bob. Now, I am trying to grow it out for my wedding next year (August 2008). The problem is that I wish it was long again. I've been TRYING to read up on hair extensions and such but, I'm clueless. If the lingo doesn't get me, the prices do! Any tips or ideas for the hard working, underpaid woman that wants to look gorgeous for her wedding but needs to do it for less money?

DEAR TYRA ,
I ABSULUTELY LOVE YOUR SHOW ...... ANY WAYS I HAVE BRIGHT RED HAIR AND I ALWAYS GET COMMENTS ON IT GOOD AND BAD AND I JUST CANT DESIDE WEATHER TO KEEP DYING IT RED OR TO GO A DIFFERENT COLOR. WHAT DO YOU THINK....PLZ HELP !!!

LOVE JAMIE!

Okay Tyra I have a hair problem that no one on here has said. I have what they call Trichotillomania which is the urge to pull hair and on top of the it's frizzy and I can't do much with it because of that problem. I want help in the worst way to over come this. I want to be able to have a cute hair cut and professional hair coloring which I'm unable to do. This has been going on since I was in middle school and I'm 26 now. Help me please.

Hi Tyra,
I am 60 years old and I have been using big curlers to take the frizzy wave out of my hair for as long as I can remember. My hair is brown and medium long. I have had it cut in layers for a very long time because it use to be so thick. Now it is thinner and I am trying to let it all grow to one length. I have never had a really professional haircut. I need help. The only time I like it at all is when I go to Las Vegas where the humidity is so low that my hair goes straighter. I live close to the beach so you can guess what my hair is usually like.
On another topic, I think you are great. You seem to be a good and caring person, not to mention You're beautiful. Thanks for listening.

hey tyra i have really puffy and curly hair! sometimes it gets soooooo tangeld i take 2 hrs in the shower de-tangeling! i feel like i tried everything and it dosent work! the only way its manageble is if i go to the salon and flat iron it and blowdry it! and its still stays frizzy! help me tyra!

Hello Tyra,

I really like your hair. I know that it isn't a typical hair weave even though that is what you refer to it as. Can you please give a young African American girl a tip on how to have a natural look without having the natural equipment. Please tell me what type of weave you wearing. It looks similar to what a lot of celeb's are wearing these days.

Pls Help my address is kreed_9928@yahoo.com.

ps I am a fellow west losangelino from the wilshire district :).

Can't wait to hear from you

I have a friend named g. and she has horrible hair. Can u find some extra time to tell me some products for her hair. tanxz!!! love ur show!!!

Dear Tyra,
I'm a 15 african american girl and my hair is a mess.I have tried everything from singles to perms but it still won't grow.I was thinking about getting extensions to look like my hair is long and beautiful for high school. How is your hair always looking so cute on your show? Please share your secrets with me and what you think i should do.

39 yr old African American female, used to have healthy thick and beautiful hair until all the years of abuse / neglect/overprocessing/home perms caught up with me. Started wearing hair pieces and wigs for fun several years ago, now they're a necessity. Found this sight while looking for natural cures for baldness/alopecia (one slick and shiny bald spot at crown). I was just thinking today about cutting it all off and starting over. If you can help me with getting my hair on the healthy track again, I would be ever so grateful. Thank you.

hey tyra i was wondering
if you could help me
my hair is really frizzy
and if i don't flat iron it then it's puffy and i tried everything i can't seem to stop it from being frizzy or have less volume so what should i do?

chao chia

Worlds worst hair!Spaghetti has more body and style then my hair even if I perm it.

dear tyra hey gurl i have bad hair my family say`s i have caveman hair can u help me what should i do cuz my weave is busted

your hair is ugly

Hey Tyra-
I am almost 40 and have NEVER had a good hair day! I have read all of the comments on how thick,curly poofy hair is bothersome...Try having baby fine hair. I mean if you put it in a ponytail it is as big around as maybe a finger. I have tried
short,layered,permed,straight and it always looks mousy and flat.Sorry girls....Flat is what's WHACK!!!!!!!

Hey Tyra I dont know what to do with mt hair its so so dry and burned and I'm only 16. The texture and just by looking at it you can tell its really dry and just dead its completey fried. It's because I've been straighting alot because my hair is poofy. So Trya do you have any advice.

Tyra!

Just want to tell you first off that I love your show. Anywho, I am a biracial female (my mom is black and my dad is white). All my life I have been perming my hair and I recently decided to let it grow out naturally. Unfortunately, that involved a lot of breakage and what not. My hair has never been this damaged before in my life! I know its stupid but I can't stop hating my hair! I'm trying really hard to grow it out, because I want long hair as soon as possible. My sister has long hair and so does my mom so I guess that it runs in the family..but I don't understand why its taking me so long! I do everything that I'm supposed to, do you have any advice?

My hair is so poofy!The only thing I can do with my hair with out getting it wet is putting it in a ponytail.I used to have my hair down to my butt until I decided to cut it over a year ago. I used to think it was ugly but now when I see the pictures it was really pretty. Now it is so dry and ugly and no matter what shampoo/conditioner or any products I use, it always looks dry and I don't want to risk it getting more dry by straightening my curly hair. I need help and/or advice!!!

Hello Tyra, I'm a 39 year old woman who looks over the hill. My hair is really curly and dry. I've tried products to make my curls look nicer & healthier, and shinier, but nothing really works. In order for my hair to look presentable, I have to wash it first, (cause I can brush it unless it's wet), then press on it to make a ponyail. No one ever sees my hair unless I at home brushing it, and I have visitors. My hair is so bad that in order for me to make it look good, I'll try anything that can keep it from standing up or coming out of place. My hair looks puffy, and I find it disgusting.
Please help me Tyra. I'm not that old, and since I cut my hair a little over a year ago, it looks crapy. I wish it was long again. I hate short hair on me. I feel better with longer hair. Help me please!

Hi Tyra,
I noticed that the majority of the comments about bad hair come from girls with curly frizzy hair...I have very curly hair and the best advice i have gotten is to start taking hair vitamins..they do make your hair noticeably healthier but they also make my hair less dry and frizzy....also dont flat iron every day, it melts your hair and makes it very unhealthy.

Hi Tyra!!!
I watched your show a few times and the one I keep thinking about is the America's Worst Hair episode. I feel like I have terrible hair!!! I'm 14 and I'm going to high school this year and I wanna look cool. I got a relaxer in my naturally curly and thick hair in I think like the summer before I started 8th grade. It took away alot of the volume, but it broke the front of my hair!!! The front of my hair looks stupid. Its sorta like i have bangs that r like a little bit curly-ish and stick up. So I have to wear a headband or a bandana everyday to keep it down so no one sees it!!! I'm also a dancer and when I do competitions, I have to bobby pin my hair with like 4 bobby pins on each side. I'm gonna start to straighten my hair for high school, so I was wondering if u have any tips on how I can get it into a cute straight style. (I've had to straighten it before for my competitions because we have to have a low ponttail and my hair is too curly and thick for that... lol. so my "bangs" are I think like a centimeter above my eyebrows.) I'm getting a haircut for it, but I'm not sure what I should get to make it look good. If u have any pictures of any of your previous hairstyles with bangs or something like that, that would be very helpful. (I also need tips for when I have my hair curly. Because I'm not sure what to do about my "bangs" when its curly... except for wearing a headband or bandana... lol.) Thanks for your help!!!

Dear Tyra i have AMERICAS worst hair. I have been struggling with it since i was young because my mother is white and im mixed. Unfortunatly i inhereted my fathers texture or style of hair. It is short, very thick, dark brown goldish color (so it kinda blends with my face), and damaged. Im afriad to cut it shorter because it might not grow back. It might seem petty or insignificant to most people with out this problem. Since everyone in my family has beautiful long hair and also my friends i feel kinda like the ugly outsider, Tyra is there any way i can help my hair grow or even make it look nice short??????

Hey Tyra, i have to say i don't have the worst hair, but if i don't style it curly with my products or straighten it with that oil stuff i have the DRYEST hair ever, its so corse and dead, what can soffen it up?

Hi Trya,

HEPL!!! Your hair always looks nice and you always say that you have a weave. Sometimes the hair you wear looks like a wig. A high priced wig. The kind you would wear in a movie with a hair line and natural part. You can do anything you want with it like real hair. Is that true? If it is, do you have any that are off black that you donate? My hair has gotten thin around the edges and I don't have much of a hairline any more. I have been wearing a hair weave for long time and I always wear it in a mushroom (pageboy) style to hide everything. A while back a beautican caused some of my hair ro fall out and it has never been the same. I have gone to Bosley hair replacement (not that I could afford it) but they said they couldn't help me. I went to one of those places that makes the natural hair wigs, some say for the movies, but they were very expensive.
The one you had on when Donald Trump was on your show was nice.
I saw a movie with Sean Connery called Medicine Man. For a man that was a bomb wig. He could wear it in a ponytail and everything. It was slightly wavey. I have wished for a wig like that since I saw that movie. To have a hairline again would be a great felling. It would be a dream come true. I could give my hair a break from weaves and I would have a lot more confidence. They say a womens hair is her crowning glory. I haven't felt like glory since I was 30 years old, when I did have a hairline.
Thanks for listening
Rita

Hi Tyra,
I wish I had Americas worst hair, but unfortunalty I have a condition called alopecia where you lose your hair. I have hair...just very little. I have been dealing with this since Iwas about 13 (I'm 18 now) I LOVEEE your show and what you represent. You give me the strength and confidence I didn't have as a younger adult.
I know you wear weaves and I have had mine for about a year now. I'm not really sure if its a weave or a wig because they weave it into my own hair, however it covers my entire head like a wig. But I was just curious what types of weaves you get and how long you keep yours. I have to get a new one every year that costs about $1300. It definetly leaves a whole in my pocket as a young college student. I'm working my way towards being a young confident succesful woman just like you tyra. Thank you for being such an inspiration to young women.

Tyra,
I am 18 years old, and about to be a college freshman. I happen to be biracial; my mother is white and father is african american. All my life I have had WILD hair!!! Most biracial people that I know have "good hair" or at least hair that curls nicely and/or actually straightens when its needed. Mine barely does either. I have tried everything from creams and relaxers to ceramic straighteners and hot combs. It just wont cooperate. I would really just like to know of any products that might actually tame this hot mess of hair.

Hey Tyra,
My hair is the worst hair in the world. It's puffy, extra curly (it almost look like an afro), nappy, and super frizzy. When I tried to get it staightend it only lasts for a week. Then it turns back into the same poof monster all over again. My mother asked would I like to get a perm but I always say no because even though my hair is a big poofy mess i still love it. So if I get a perm and dont take care of it my hair could become seriously damaged or even fall out. I may only be 13 but I still have the worst hair in the world. Please Tyra help me I go to high school this year and I dont want to be remembered as the girl with poofy hair.

Truly yours,
*~*Yasmine*~*
*P.S. I love you show I watch it every day*

Hi Tyra,
Ashley here from Florida. I am 19 and my momma is in some desperate need of a "do"! I am an only child, raised by my father. My momma moved away out of state when I was a little girl for cancer treatment! Now, she moved back to be close to me and make up for lost time. We never shared cute hairstyles nor any other fashion tips...and thats really because we don't have any! :0) We try the latest styles but look ridicilous doing it! I am getting married April 26 2008 and my mothers goal from now until then is to find a good hairstyle. I made her promise to me that she would stop going to the salon bi-weekly, because everytime got worse. Please, Tyra help my deserving mother to find a hairstyle worth keeping!!

Tyra,
My hair is wavy but not curly and when i straighten it it looks really good for about 10 minutes and then the ends start to flip out and it gets really frizzy. Do you know any good products that will help keep my hair straightened and battle the frizz?

Hey Tyra!!! What's up girl?!?!?!?!?! Every time I get out of the shower, and dry my hair, my hair grows inches away from my head with frizz!!!!! It stays that way for two days!!! (whether I straighten it or not!!!!)
Dear Jesus help me!

Hey Tyra, I have naturally curly hair that is really thick. I have tried product after product to help control the frizz and puffy curls and nothing has worked. If you know of a product that won't weigh my hair down, make it look greasy, or make it crunchy I would be so happy. I love having curly hair I just wish it wasn't so out of control. Please help.

I've always wonder if your feet hurt when you wear your high heal shoes.

I am 16 my hair is naturally curly and thick, but it also gets so frizzy.Because it is so frizzy I get made fun of at school. So most of the time I just pull it back in a pony tail. SO my advice to others is to just love your hair the way it is. I have had to learn how to do that.

Tyra,

I am 13 and my hair is impossible. I used to straighten it, but it got frizzy so I stopped. Now I just scrunch my hair or put it in a bun. My hair is long and wavy. I cant just leave it alone because then it looks really thick, frizzy, and just plain bad. I feel bad when I am by popular girls, there hair is always perfectly perfect. Could you help me?

Hey Tyra,
Everyone who knows me knows that i am a very truthful person. i'm only 16 and already i'm concidered old by my peers because they say i'm so much more mature than my age. That's ok though because that's a compliment. Anyway word of advice to you concerning this, "Worst Hair" thing, Tyra, I really really don't like your hair when it's that ashy blonde color. It looks even worse when it's straight. You look way more beautiful with the settled chocolate brown color. It takes some years off of you since that's what everyone wants these days. Also i saw the show today about bloggers and concerning the girl who didn't like what you wear on the show, i have to agree that sometimes you do dress a little ,"frumpy" but still please "DO NOT" take that ladies advice on how to dress. Sorry Lady but what you choose for Tyra looked kind of trashy and hookerish. Yes Tyra you are sexy and sometimes you do need to get a second opinion on some things you wear, but still please don't go that route. Classy and seductive is always better than trashy and seductive because then it's just tired. Love Ya. Bye.

Hey Tyra. I just turned 16 and my Mom is a hair dresser and I think that she should be "up" on the hairstyles. Well she tends to poof her hair like back in the 80's and I HATE it. Yes she did grow up in the 80's but this is 2007 and I think she needs to do something trendy with it. I am going to Pioneer Career and Tech. Center for Cosmotology. Could you give me some advice on what I should tell her what to do with her hair? Oh and I don't like her hair color either. It's been blonde for a long time and I think she needs a change. She has a small figure and face and has a tan all year round. I just don't think the big hair looks right on her and I think she should change her hair color. Please help! Thanks.

Tyra, My sister and i both have terriable hair hers is soooo frizzy and mine is 4 or 5 different colors i am 16 when i was 12 or 13 i dyed it from beautiful blonde to black not realizing it was going to last forever so i dyed it blonde a couple of months later to lighten it up a little well it didnt work but my roots coming out did so it was blonde and black with red (red because i dyed it red with black streaks) so then i thought...hmmm something neutral a couple of months later i dyed it brown... lets just say i should have thought that threw more now its black blonde red and brown and i hate it i just want to be blonde again what should i do?

wow i love your show, and i do have some frizzy hair myself but i think it's hott!

I don’t think I have America’s worst hair, I know I do. In fact, my hair is so bad that you will have to place a warning on your show before anyone have an opportunity to see my hair. It’s just that shocking. I’m black, my hair is thick but it is very, VERY nappy. When it finally grows it will immediately break out in patches and I don’t know why. It is almost like my hair should never be long and my system aborts the hair growth all together. The short ends are very nappy and even if I perm my hair I cannot get it to relax. I love wigs and that is what I wear I don’t think I will ever wear my real hair again I am so done with my hair. 

My hair drives me crazy sometimes...I hate how frizy it is. And I take about an hour on it just to straighten it. So most of the time I just wear it up and I hate doing that also. What is the fast and easy way to straiten hair?? Please let me know...Thank you...

dear Tyra

Tyra, I can honestly say I have horrible hair. I used to have pretty, straight hair, and I was happy with it. But then the lice epidemic got me while young, and with all the shampoo and treatments, by hair was damaged beyond repair. Since then, my hair has become a nightmare. First of all, it is practically dead. It is extremely frizzy. It is so big, that if I were to take a picture with it down, my hair would literally be my background. I can't even do anything to it and I spend 30 minutes each day just trying to put into a ponytail. I break about 5 hair ties a day and it falls out like crazy. Just buying hairspray is crazy too, I bet I'm hugely responsible for the hole in the ozone layer. I just want to be able to control my hair instead of it controlling me. Please HELP ME Tyra!

i cant look at myself in the mirror, my nose is so hideous. please help me, please help me to love it. to not be afraid to have someone stand on my side. i just want to change it.

Hi Tyra, good day. My name is Ete Kwegang and i am from West Africa, Cameroon. I was born on July/24/1989. I came to America on dec/4/05. Ever since i was young, i had dreams of becoming a model. I never knew how i could accomplish my dreams being that young and thinking a little further. When i came to America and started watching your show "ANTM", i then knew, with determination i could draw one step closer to my passion. I look up to you. You weren't really skinny but you made it to the top and i know that was a break through for many people especially me. I am almost 150lbs which i believe is over weight trying to be a model. This has brought my spirit down, that maybe i wont get to the place where i long for because of my inner worries. I have tried many ways to loose weight but my weight fluctuates. When i watch your Tyra show and you talk about having dipples in your butt, i am very surprise because i have it too. i also fear because of that. i know when u started your career, you were skinny then and you didn't have any dipples i believe. Pls Miss Tyra, i need your help. How do i loose weight?, how do i get that your kind of courage?, and please, how do i get my way into modeling business?. Please Tyra i cry writing this mail. I really want to be a model. Please help me out, you are the only one i can look after in this business. I have watched every second of you in this career, how you strugled before going that far in modeling. You respect yourself which is what most yount womem celebrities lack and i admire the way you carry your mom high. May God keep blessing you sincerely from my heart. Please reply my mail back. Thanks for understanging

Hi Tyra. I was just wondering if you know of any affordable hair products for curly,frizzy hair. I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money on them, and I don't want several products that won't work. Please help!!!!

Hi,Ms.Banks, You are one of the classiest women on national T.V. I have ever seen.You are beautiful,smart,down to earth and thank you for representing women so well.You got me to thinking about my hair,appearance and to change it. I have had the same style of hair for 20years.I am 49 years old. I have no clue of style. I do not know how to pick clothes that would half look good on me. My hair is the worst, it is dry long multicolor mess oh and lets not forget frizzy, its bad. I have seen make over shows and you make models over but can you help ordinary me. I would treasure any of your ideas. Thank you. From far down south.

Hi Tyra your like my biggest fan I admire you and I also want model and travel the world with the best of the best like you Im 17teen years old im 5"4" and people always tell me im to short butI have faith in myself.I wanna attend your show contact me at my email and let me know how to get some tickets to your show.

I just want to say that I saw the way those women looked before tyra and her friendly hairstylists gave them the a complete look that they should have started out with.my mom used to be a hairstylist and when she does my hair she tells me the truth about whether or not I should have this or that in my hair and I just have a lot of respect for her for that!!!Ladies and as well men too you should always go to a trained and professional hairstylist no matter what never do your own hair or someone else's hair unless you have a license from beauty school saying that you are able or legible to do hair.trust me on this one now I may only be 12 and a half but a few years back now that I look back on it,I did a girl's hair and I mean I cut her bangs and everything I thought I did such a good job until her mom got home and came and talked to my mom about what I did to her daughter's head of hair.now of course I was grounded for a little while but that made me realize that I ruined that childs hair and she was younger than me,I felt so bad that I couldnt face that child or her mother for a week.

Hey Tyra, just saw the show on bad hair and even though its not too nice to say I have to make a comment on that bleached blonde that didn't know good hair from a cactus! PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO YOU CAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE A SKANK and not because that poodle on your head looks good and its obvious that killing your hair all over again will not help your self- esteem and if you were truly confident you wouldn't be finding approval from complete strangers that is very false and your fake hair won't make it better - just my 2 cents, thanks

Hey Tyra =). My first ever post ;) Seems like everybody wants to talk to you about their hair xD.
Turns out Im going to talk about mine, too.
You see, my hair is outrageously curly. In kindergarten, it was board straight. Later I cut it short, and it looked axactly like Merilyn Monroe's hair (my friends kept reminding me!). My mom and I have been testing out different products, and I think I have one that works.
Not only is it curly, it's frizzy! Any beuty tips would be MUCH appreciated!
Waiting with her fingers crossed and her hair standing on end (literally),
Jessy ^-^
P.S. Contact me anytime. Just.one.reason@hotmail.com I'll be waiting =D
P.P.S. W00T! It's the summer!

Dear Tyra,
I have extremely curly and thick hair. If I don't put gel in it I can't step out of my house because it's so poofy. Sometimes I wish I lived in the eighties because atleast then my big mop would have been accepted. In addition to the natural poof I live in Florida. The humidity and heat cause me to have to wear a bun daily. I have to wet my hair in order to regain my curls and then before it dries stiffen it up with gel and hairspray. Sometimes I wish I could feel more natural instead of slicking my hair back all the time. Please help me variate my look and hopefully gain some confidence. Stay fierce!! Elysse

Hi Tyra! I am 19 years old, I have a six month old daughter, and my hair has gone to the dogs. I am a recovered addict, but my hair still hasn't even come close to what it used to be. I also lost alot of hair after my pregnancy. I wouldn't mind having hair like that picture compared to mine! haha joking. Anyway, I'd really like to have a makeover, I watch your show everyday, and I would like to see you do a show where you makeover young mothers, and help our self-image, make me feel 19 again, not 30. Oh yeah! My hair! Pregnancy can make your hair long and thick, or thin and lifeless. I got the second one. HELP! Your show will be in NY? I have relatives in NJ, and would have a reason to be in the area soon! LOL Love, Lena
