Question 1

will waxing make your hair stop growing back?

Accepted Answer

No, it won't: Waxing rips the hair from the skin (hair follicles) but the hair will grow back.  Laser treatment can usually remove hair permanently.

Question 2

can my hair grow back if i stop straightening it?

Accepted Answer

That : would depend on the amount of damage to the hair follicle.

Question 3

i am a girl with unwanted facial hair... what should i do to stop it from growing?

Accepted Answer

Hair: I would go see your doctor and ask about PCOS.  Facial hair in women can be a sign of PCOS/insulin resistance.  There are some labs that should be checked. THere are medications to help such as aldactone, (spironolactone) but PCOS has other potential consequences, so it is important to confirm the diagnosis.  Laser treatment can help as well for just the hair issue.

Question 4

ive been going through depression and all my hair has came out in the stop and its thin and i had long beautiful hair what's wrg will it grow back help?

Accepted Answer

May be low thyroid: Your best option now is to have a thorough evaluation from your family doctor as well as a Psychiatric consultation.  Your depression and hair loss could be caused by stress, low thyroid, medications, or clinical depression.  By seeing two qualified physicians who can accurately determine a correct diagnosis, you have the best chance of receiving proper treatment.

Question 5

i started having trichotillomania in the summer of 2020
i pulled out more than half my hair
in march 2021, i realized i had to stop when i pulled them out, the bulbs were black and fat
i wonder, will my hair grow back? nine months is a short time..?

Accepted Answer

: Hair follicle has three phases: 
Anagen- continues hair growth for 3-7 years one and half cm every month .
Catagen phase - hair loose blood supply, follicle shrinks, bulb does not produce pigment, hair will fall
Telegenic phase-resting periods before new hair follicle forms to continue hair growth. 
Yes they’ll come back if you stop pulling them. I hope it helps.

Question 8

i have trichotillomania, i pull and rub my right eyebrow area. the area has hair missing and i was wondering will it grow back eventually if i stop?

Accepted Answer

Hair pulling: is a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.  You need to be treated for this by someone who specializes in OCD.  Anti-depressant medications can be helpful through your doc or a psychiatrist even though you may not be depressed.  Hair is likely to grow back but you need to treat the root of the situation.  Peace and good health.  Symptoms are simply the branch.

Question 9

i use epilator for my amrpits. but why my they become very itchy when hair start growing back? and can you give any solution to stop itching?

Accepted Answer

Epilator: Any hair can become itchy when it grows back. Try a low dose hydrocortisone cream to help with the itching.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: You can wax or shave or pluck or laser. None of these will change the type of hairs or the growth.
