I'm really worried about my hair. It's become unevenly thick, super rough, and the texture is all bumpylike I can literally feel the bumps when I run my fingers through it. It used to be thick and healthy, and I haven't colored it or done anything drastic to it. This has been happening over the past few years and I just don't understand why. Do you have any idea what's causing this or maybe some natural treatments I could try?

Uneven hair thickness and rough texture can be frustrating. _Possible Reasons_ 1. *Protein imbalance*: Hair is made of protein, and an imbalance can cause uneven texture. 2. *Moisture deficiency*: Lack of moisture can lead to rough, brittle hair. 3. *Hair cuticle damage*: Damage to the hair cuticle can cause bumps and rough texture. 4. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals like biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids can affect hair health. 5. *Hormonal changes*: Hormonal fluctuations can lead to changes in hair texture. _Natural Solutions_ 1. *Coconut oil treatment*: Apply warm coconut oil to your hair, cover with a shower cap, and leave it on for 2-3 hours before washing. 2. *Banana and honey mask*: Mash ripe banana and mix with honey. Apply to your hair and leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. 3. *Apple cider vinegar rinse*: Mix equal parts water and apple cider vinegar as a final rinse after shampooing to balance your hair's pH. 4. *Biotin supplements*: Consult with your doctor before taking biotin supplements to support hair growth and health. 5. *Use a wide-tooth comb*: Gentle combing can help reduce breakage and tangles.

I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?
