you could call the number on the bottle and ask them. my cousin used turpentine and it lightened it a tiny bit, but not much.

Q: Hey. Well, I was wondering where do people get those pins that they put on their bags because I want some. Also, I would like to know if they are expensive or not...how much do they cost? Thanks!

you can get them at walmart. they are about 3-4 dollars depending on which ones you get. they usually come in packs of four.

Q: I absolutely hate my hair. I have thick light brown hair with blonde highlights. When i say thick.. i mean really thick. I have anywhere from 5-10 minutes in the morning to do my hair. Besides the everyday ponytail... what can i do to my hair? I am taking coloring, cutting, and styling ideas.

if your hair is kind of curly take a high volumizing mousse and scrunch your hair. it would look great! If it is more on the straight side, wear it down or braid it into pigtail braids. Its fun and fast!

Q: okay i know this has been one of the questions on here but i was wondering what kind of hair gel do you girls use to scrunch your hair up to make it look curly/wavy cuz i have tried alot of stuff and my hair doesn't stay like it for awhile or it dries up a lil bit..i hate high

i use mousse in the brand that you can buy at sally's. my cousin uses aussie mousse.

bring lots of bathing suits and shorts. if you wear tankini suits you dont have to worry about bringing many tops because you can wear your swim suit under your shorts. flip-flops are a must!

Q: I have really long hair and I like to keep a defined hairline. When I was at a water park recently, I got a really bad sunburn on my head where it's parted. Any ideas on what I can do to make it feel better at least? I mean, how much can you do for a sunburn on your head?

you can use aloe vera on your scalp or use cooling shampoo.

Q: at my school we have to wear collared shirt, with only 2 buttons unbuttoned. we can wear jeans or skirts, but the skirts have to be longer than 2 inches above our knees. i like to dress originally, and cant stand the thought of going to school looking exactly like everyone else. also i live on an island, so whenever you buy a shirt someone else in your school probably bought it too... and with this collared shirt rule, like 9 or 10 people end up with the exact same shirt. does anyone have any suggestions for interesting ways to make my outfits less boring?

you could customize your shirts by having them airbrushed or u can stain thm to be a different color. if you really want to be different, try tie-dying them.

Q: Ok i am the same one who said she was raped and didnt know how to tell her parents because I was to scared...well see the thing is i am to scared to do that because the guy who raped me was my 18 year old cuzin and he said he would kill me if he found out I told anyone and well since hes my cuzin he will find out that people know very quickly even if he just finds out i told someone i was raped he will find a way to kill me...i really have no clue what to do and I am so freaked out...plz help

tell someone they dont have to be in your family. call the police or call an abuse hotline. he needs to be punished. they have an abuse thing on advicenators to report abuse. please report it.

Q: hey i just got a haircut today, and it's kind of short. i like it and all, i'm just afraid that it will go crazy on me because my hair is naturally curly (i straighten it). are there any products out there that will help keep it like it is when i first straighten it the morning?
thanks so much, and i rate high for good answers. =)

you could use a spray before you straighten your hair and it will tame it even after you straighten it.

Q: Ive heard you can dye your hair with lemon juice..is this true? does it work? does it look good? how do you do it? i mean do you just squeeze a lemon over your head? Does it work if you have dark hair?? like really dark..
and can you get it out??

you can dye your hair with lemon juice it is more like highlighting though. it works very well on brown hair. i did it to my hair one summer and i got a lot of compliments.

you can use lemon juice it a squeeze bottle. the best way to do it is to take strands of hair and cover them in lemon juice. then you let it dry. wash your hair after you are sure its dry.

it does work if you have dark hair you just hve to put more on it. it eventually fades out after a while or it goes away when you grow and cut your hair.

Q: Hey! I am interested in getting some fish. small ones. that can fit into a 1 and a half foot long by almost a foot wide tank. I have had fish before, when i was much younger, and I am interested in getting them again. What are some good fish, that arnt too incredibly expensive, and some that get along well with eachother. My brother has a male bata, so I am not interested in that. Also, i want to have anywhere from 1 to 12 or something like that. *I know the size of the fish I am looking for is confusing. I am thinking around the size of a goldfish, a small one. you all know those ones @ wal*mart for like 27 cents. a little bigger than that!* thanks so much!

I will do some searching for myself too, on fish! I would just like a little help! any tips would be much appreciated!

If it matters, I'll rate and leave feedback!

Thanks so much in advance!

some fish that are small and get along well are danios, guppies, and small goldfish. the problem with goldfish is that they grow. they have a wide selection of small fish at petsmart or feed stores.

you could babysit, pet sit, offer to run errands for your neighbors, or do little jobs around your neighborhood. you could check with hair salons if they need someone to sweep hair or pet grooming places need extra people to walk or clean up after dogs. hope i helped.
