Question: Hi. I'm 17 and i do my own hair. I would really love to see it actually lay down when its pressed. When ever I get it pressed or I press it people have a hard time getting it to lay down.

Question: I really need help growing my hair! My hair is really short in the back. What can I do to make it all even? Answer: Many people have hair that varies in texture on their head.

I would pay close attention to how to you take care of your hair, especially in the back, and try to eliminate anything you think that could be causing damage to the hair at the back of your head. Avoid tight braids, extensions, harsh chemicals, excessive heat. Use moisturizing hair care products , and be really gentle with all of your hair, especially the hair at the nape of your neck, and it should grow back.
