My hair as a child was 2C. My mother didn't know how to take care of it so she'd kind of roughly brush it and wash it in the same way she did with her straight her and my sisters hair. I ended up straightening it a lot and I've also dyed it a lot. A while ago I tried to get my curly hair back but it ended up just looking greasy. How do I get it back?

Hi, I (17F) used to be a quite good singer and a few years ago I went selectively mute. I am no longer selectively mute but my voice is now absolutely ABYSMAL from misuse. I end up coughing everytime I try to sing. My boyfriend says I just need to practise and my voice will go back to how it was but I'm so self conscious now of how bad my voice is that I can't practise, especially since my sister is such a good singer :( any advice? 🧿

I'm a 17 year old girl and I think I may have a form of mild albinism. I've been sent to the eye hospital quite a few times because my glasses couldn't fully correct my vision, and the last time I was there,the optician muttered something about potential signs of albinism and shone a light into my eyes and said there didn't seem to be a overly noticeable difference in the structure of my eye. He then said I might have retinal dystrophy but since I'm so young I probably don't. I have very severe photophobia, an astigmatism in one eye, and very mild nystagmus. My pupils are unusually dilated but they always have been. My eyes are green so I do have some pigment in them.

I'm a 17 year old autistic girl and I've been struggling a lot recently. I used to be selectively mute and so extremely depressed that I would SH etc. I've gotten much better, I'm on sertraline and I'm back in school. I've got quite average grades which my parents aren't happy with because before I went into such a dark place a few years ago I was always one of the smartest in my classes. My dad yells at me for being a failure and for wanting to do the same thing everyday. I've also been told I talk patronisingly to my mother, which I didn't realise I did, because I'm not good with tone of voice. My mother and I are EXTREMELY different people so we can never agree on anything. In regards to that, does anyone have advice for me to spot that and not do it anymore? Also my father yells at me because I get unwell a lot, like for example today I had a very bad migraine last period and asked my mum if she could get me because I couldn't even think straight. My dad screamed at me for that. I've finally made a friend and I have a boyfriend and I went back to school and started talking but apparently I'm still a failure and I can't handle this 😭

I'm a 17 year old girl, and a while ago I was sent to the eye hospital because they were concerned. This has happened to me a few times. I got given glasses for the first time when I was 9 or 10. At the eye hospital, the optician brought up the possibility of a mild form of albinism. He shined a light into my eyes and said 'I don't see any obvious differences in retinal structure' and then he wondered if I had retinal dystrophy but said he wouldn't bother checking because I'm young so I'm probably fine. My vision can't be fully corrected with glasses, I have quite extreme photophobia, and very mild nystagmus that only occurs occasionally with an astigmatism in one eye. I had white blonde hair as a small child that darkened to like a weird honeyish shade of blonde, and I have very pale skin but I have a lot of moles and birth marks etc which shows pigmentation so idk and my eyes are very light but they're green so idk. They used to be blue and they turned green. My boyfriend told me that when he first saw me he thought I had albinism but I just am not sure. I know obviously that none of this necessarily means I have it and I'm obviously not asking for a diagnosis but I'm just wondering if it's crazy for me to think I might. My mother immediately dismissed the idea as ridiculous, I'm wondering if maybe it is ridiculous for me to even think I might. I really don't know.

My hair is naturally a honey blonde. I wanna dye my hair like Daenerys Targaryn blonde but I have long hair and I really don't wanna lose it. Is there a way?

I've heard so many people say and think that since Sia was diagnosed with autism, it changes the perspective of the movie 'music' that she made. That movie is awful and hurts the autistic community and it's a mockery. Idk. I find it extremely distressing because I feel mocked and like 'this is what people think of me'.

I think I have a blood blister under my navel piercing and I only just noticed it. I had it pierced like three months ago. I don't have experience with piercings because I'm 17 and my mother doesn't like them so I only have my ear lobes and my navel pierced. I'm worried because I don't know if the blood blister means infection and I don't know how to get rid of it help please :( edit: to clarify my mother knows I have the piercing, I asked her if I could get it and she said yes and she thinks it's pretty

My hair is below my ribcage but it won't grow any longer. My whole life I've had the dryest scalp and I'm wondering if that's why. I use dandruff shampoo, but it does practically nothing at all. It's so itchy all the time, and even makes a noise when I scratch. How can I get rid of my dry scalp and grow my hair longer?

I'm a witch and I have been for a while now, but I have a fear of using fire and most spells and rituals involve candles. I'm not exactly afraid of fire I just am very paranoid and clumsy and I don't trust myself to not knock candles over or get my long hair in them even if I put it up. What can I do to still do all the spells and rituals I want without lighting candles?

I'm a 5.1ft girl who's skinny, but I have a wide rib cage so a small hip to waist ratio. I really want an hour glass body by doing workouts but im wondering if it's even possible to snatch my waist in with workouts when I have a wide ribcage.
