Why does my hair look oily…i just blew it dry!!!!?

my hair has been doing this for the past week and a half!!!
my roots look really oily and its the worst near my bangs.

i bought a new shampoo a couple weeks ago so i thought that was the problem but it wasnt.
(i've been using a different shampoo for the past few days...)
my hair is getting worse and worse every day!
the past 2 days i havent been putting conditioner in it
because i wasnt sure if that was the problelm.\
i know i am washing ALL of it out....

It seriously looks like i havent taken a shower in a week....I cant go to school tomorrow looking like this

what the heck is going on?
Is there like a vitamin that i'm deficient in that would be doing this?

and i dont eat meat
ok sorry i didnt put this but...

my hair LOOKS oily....it doesnt FEEL oily....it kinda feels like rubber

My bangs are dried and bent and straw like…?

I have tried leaving in moisturizers over night. I have stopped coloring my hair. I have been taking vitamins. I have stopped using styling products. But even the hairs that have never been treated are doing this too. I don't use a curling iron, only a hair dryer. This is embarrassing and I almost bought a wig yesterday, but they looked too wiggy. I hate my natural color and want to go back to highlighting my hair but I am afraid of damaging my bangs even more. Please help.

Preparing for the first day of school; tips?

Hello there, I am about to be a sophomore in high school, well in August. I recently got out of a relationship that caused me to waste my entire freshmen year. The guy is going to be a senior, I put so much time and energy into him it prevented me from making new friends, extending relationships, and really getting the high school experience. We decided to be friends now, but I want a little revenge, the sweet way. I want to look AMAZING in the fall. Guys already tell me I look good, but I also want change so I have a fresh new start, and I want particularly for the guy I mentioned to be kicking himself for what he lost. If it helps, I'm 5'5 pretty blonde, athletic figure, eyebrow pierced, and I'm mistaken for a college student like everyday of my life.

Anyways! I'm working on the new wardrobe ordering cute things from C1RCA (a skater brand) because I can get some adorable things that don't come out until Spring, and I can get them for base price because I worked with inventory. I also will shop at places like PacSun, Hollister for shorts, AE, and PINK. And I'm getting a Vera Bradley backpack. Do you have any tips about clothing like what I should get, etc?

For my hair, I'm taking prenatal vitamins and treating it like fine lace all Summer so it has major length in the Fall. It's a pain, but totally worth it. I plan on either getting more highlights to brighten it up, low lights because my hairdresser thinks dark hair would look hot on me, or going a redish-blonde color. I'm already pretty blonde. For the cut, I'll even out some layers and add blunt bangs. Any opinions on the hair? And make up tips please!

And, how should I ACT?! I am a kind person and I'm super chill about life, but I have an edge to me a little bit and I'm really happy with who I've become. But, how should I act towards the guy? And so can make friends I should have last year?

If it helps, I don't wanna take him back, I still wanna be friends but I want a fresh new start for myself and I just want him to realize what he lost. Even his family said I was the best he'd ever get, and random people tell me I'm better than him.

A few questions about hair-extensions/hair growth…?

So I've gone back and forth for a few weeks as far as getting this done.

Back in November I had to have my hair cut off very short in order to get it all to grow at an even length, but the problem is my hair doesn't grow quickly at all ( it took almost 3 years to get it from my shoulders to an inch or 2 above my breasts), hence the want for extensions until I can get it to my desired length.

I don't personally know anyone who has had them before so I wanted to ask here to get some feedback.

Right now, my hair is, at it's longest, 2-3 inches [in the back, my "bangs" fall to the middle of my cheeks].

Is this too short to have extensions put in?

What is the best method to use when getting them?

I'd prefer a method where my hair won't fall out or be damaged to the point I'd have to cut it off short again, completely defeating my purpose.

Also, how expensive do these usually run? Or is that something that varies from salon/stylist to salon/stylist?

Also will I be able to shampoo/condition, brush, style, etc. the extensions after (and if) I get them?

Or does anyone know of any shampoos/vitamins/etc that will help accelerate hair growth?

Any "experienced" input would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks :)

What causes hair growth?

I got my hair cut a few weeks ago, but i wanted to fix my bangs. So... I sort of cut my hair myself. It looks horrible. Is there any foods or vitamins that I can get from a health store, walmart, or meijer that can help hair grow back?

it won't grow long. what's wrong with my hair, and what should i do?

since i remodelled it six months ago, it hasn't grow back to its previous mid-back length from shoulder length. as long as i can feel there is no dead end, i do all suggestions to keep my hair healthy like exercising, using hair vitamins, no overtreating...everything. my hair is in the best condition ever... only it wouldn't grow long. the only part of my hair that grows so fast is only my bangs.

i have been noticing some hair falling oout. my mom is very concerned so i have a doctors appointment and im really really scared. i have been doing some research and the only thing that i could have is alopecia. but i know i dont cuz it says that alopecia causes smooth bald patches and i dont have them. the things i have been doing to my hair is washing it everyother day, straightnig the bangs and then teasing them and putting it in a ponytail and using hairspray. my friend says having low iron intake can cause hair falling. i have only been eating my vitamins everyday with out iron.plus i havent been eating more than i used to. (im not anorexic) what do you think? sould i be scared for tomarrow? do you think its alopecia, or just the things im doing to my hair? or the nutrition. i know this is long but im really scared. thanks
