A 16-year-old female asked:

This is just a curious question. is it normal to have more than one hair strand in a hair follicle? or is that now a condition to go get checked?

A normal variation: Having more than one hair in a follicle is not a disease. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
