Let's see, about me - I'm an educated (but lowly-degreed) 20-something woman living in South Florida. I am highly familiar with music, youth subcultures, and women's issues. I'm slightly familiar with American history, Electronics, Judaism, and India. I'm vaguely familar with...well...everything else. I love good food and drink, but indulge in it infrequently. Oh, and I'm Black (partial Jamaican heritage) for what it's worth. But most importantly, I'm pretty open-minded...so ask away!

I just have a lot a lot of hair and major split ends.

I also have an issue with split ends. Split ends can be triggered by heat styling; but I myself never straighten or use heat styling and they are still a problem. The key is to moisterize. I make my own hair spritz of water, jojoba & almond oil (not too much), vitamin E (I take the liquid gel caps and break them open) and some 911 brand leave-conditioner, and put that all in a spray bottle. I spritz on before and during styling.
You may also want to change hairstyles sometimes. Sleek ponytails and updos and large braids minimize exposure to the elements (think of a flag that is constantly being whipped around in the wind - eventually it frays!) Get regular trimmings. If the problem persists, you may want to consult a hair care professional.

Ihave been bleeding now for over a month.
I also bleed when i have sex?
I need some advice please? (link)

Well two questions immediately come to mind: 1)How old are you? and 2) Is the bleeding accompianed by pain?
The reason for the first question is that, believe it or not, it's pretty common for women under the age of 20 to experience irregular periods. Even though you might be all finished with puberty, there are still drastic changes in your hormone levels at this time due to a variety of factors. In fact, I've even heard some stories where the women really never got to be 'regular' until after their first child was born.
On the flip side though, you could have a condition called menorrhagia which means excessive uterine bleeding. It can be caused by a variety of factors; one of the most serious being uterine tumors (not as uncommon as you think...I've known two women under the age of 25 to have been diagnosed with them). The only way to be certain is to visit a gynocologist and tell them what's going on. In the meantime, you might want to check out this link here:

Oh, and on the sex thing...women will sometimes bleed a little after sex if their hymen hasn't fully been broken or if she wasn't lubricated well. Again, the only way to be certain is through a gynological exam.

I'm on my period and have really awful cramps. What's the best drug to take? Aspirin? Tylenol? I'm tempted to just take them all. (link)
|
The best over the counter drug to take in my experience is Motrin. Alleve is ok too. Then Advil (in that order of effectiveness).
Perhaps you should see your doctor about going on the pill though. That was the only thing that knocked my cramps out entirely. I hear that is the case with some other women as well.
