i have a guy friend who wants me to dye his hair for him. i just don't know is it ok to just use one of those boxes that are like meant for girls? or are there specific dyes that you are supposed to use for guys hair? thanks! (link)
Well, they make hair dye for both men and women. Either one will work, so don't worry. Just choose whichever one you want, it won't hurt anything.


if i go to a cheap nail place, how much does it usually cost to get fake nails put on? and also around how long do they stay on? (link)
Well, just about anywhere you go to get your nails done. The first time, it's probably going to be about $25-$35. Then, it usually lowers down to about $10-$15 to get them polished, etc.

They should stay on for at least a month, or so. Then, when you see that they're starting to come off, or look dull. Go back to the place, and get them polished, etc.


13/f. well, i have been wearing makeup for about 3 years now and its the natual stuff so it doesn't clog my pores or look caked on or anything. well, i've been getting these little white splotche(?)spots on my face and i've tried using conceler, and bronzer and stuff, but it never works! help! i don't know what to do. thanks!

p.s. by the way, the type of makeup i use is bare minerals, if anyone needs to know to give my advice. thanks!

After you apply your foundation, apply concealer (CoverGirl Invisible Cream Concealer) on your belmish/spot. Roll your finger over it, rather than smearing it, etc. Then, apply powder.

For even more coverage, do this before and after you apply powder.


Is glue REALLY made of horses? D: (link)
I found this on Yahoo! Answers: "A hundred years ago, many old horses were killed and sent to the glue factory. But today, most glue is made from the bones and hooves of cattle, which thanks to the fast-food burger places, there are a lot of these by-products to be used. Although Elmer's firmly states their products are made from synthetic materials and are not derived from processing horses, cows or any other animals."


i was wondering where can i get the old ipod? because i dont want a nano and i dont really want to pay for the video ones

and are they worth it.. because ive heard good and bad from people



if you tell me ebay, google it, or yahoo it or anything along those lines you will be rated a 1! anyone can do that (link)
I have an iPod shuffle, and it's the best in my opinion. It's more affordable than the others, and it holds 120 songs. Here's more about the shuffle: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61574

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean by "old ipod." I hope I helped some, and good luck!


who sings the song "Roc Ya Body"?? I know you hate these questions but i cant find any results on google =) (link)
Justin Timberlake sings a song called "Rock Your Body."


what eye makeup makes your eyes appear larger and more open?? like wear should i put the eyeliner (botttom or top lid or both), and what color eyeshadow (brown hair blue eyes) and to make my eyes appear bigger do i put mascara on the top lashes, bottom, both or none? and does the smokey look make your eyes appear larger if so how do u do it?? (link)
I know the perfect thing for you-- white eyeliner! It opens your eyes and makes them *pop*. Aplly it only on the bottom. Use a volumizing mascara, or a thickening one. Either kind works great for opening eyes. The smokey eye is great, but it doesn't always open your eyes, it depends on how you do it. If you over do it, then you probably just end up making your eyes appear smaller.


Whenever I put my hair up [using a hair band] in something like a ponytail, it usually falls down soon after. How do you put your hair up and use your band to make it tight abnd sturdy, and so that it stay for a long period of time? (link)
Try using an elastic, and use hairspray on your hair once it's up. Works every time!


Yea i really want to look better in my homecoming dress which means a bit darker.
So i bought this Jergens glow stuff..
Will i streak or turn orange cuz that would be horrible.
I`m fairly tanned from going tanning but i want it to look better..
Homecoming is Oct 14th
(link)
No, not at all. I've used it, and it works great. I even seen results as quickly as the first day! Just make sure when you apply it, that you wait until it's dry, before you get dressed. Otherwise, it will get on your clothes.

Also, make sure to use it everyday, or you won't get the full results.
Have fun!


Well i have NO idea what i should be for Haloween & im going to a party. im 13/f if that helps. i want something really cute.
thanks =] (link)
Here are some costumes for teens: http://www.brandsonsale.com/teen-halloween-costumes.html

I think it would be really cool to go as Edie Sedgewick- "Choose a tunic dress, big earrings, opaque tights, and high boots to get the mod effect" You can go to seventeen.com/beautyschool to see how the makeup is done. It's really awesome!


How do you deleat an email address if your on an yahoo email account? (link)
How to delete your email address? I think you can go into your account settings, and change it.

How to delete someone else's email address from your address book? You would have to block them, you can do that by going into your options, and block them there.


oh my gosh i love this shirt....
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=86749925&imageID=1177350446

its obviously from abercrombie and fitch no doubt, but im wondering if they still sell that shirt there. i think they have almost the same one at hollister so if they sell it at hollister ill take it as well. sooo is that shirt still sold in stores? (link)
Well, just go to A & F and Hollister's websites, and look in their tops department. If they have it; it'll be there.

After I straighten my hair it goes wavy after like 10min. Then I straighten it again, and it gets better. Still I want it straight the first time, does anybody now any tips I could use?


*Thanks (link)
The key is to have a good shampoo, conditioner, and a styling product. Here are the products I recommend: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Ahead Shampoo, John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Ahead Conditioner, John Frieda Frizz-Ease Daily Nourishment Leave-In Fortifying Spray, and John Frieda Frizz-Ease Straight Answer Straightening Spray.

First, shampoo and condition. Then, use fortifying spray, and use the straightening spray before you straighten your hair. I would even use the fortifying spray after you're done straightening your hair, it will keep it in place and frizz-free. The fortifying spray is the best, you can use it anytime you want, and it is so good for your hair. I know, I use it!



I've decided to take up indoor tanning. I'm gonna start a membership at Hollywood tans this month. I was wondering, how many times should I go a week, and for how long (10 minutes, 15 minutes)? I want to build up a DARK tan. As dark as i can get. If it helps, I'm using HT60 tanning bed. Thanks alot! : ) (link)
I suggest self-tanners because indoor tanning, or any kind of tanning that involves any type of sun rays, causes skin cancer, wrinkles, etc.


i have itunes right now and im spending so much money

i wanted to download limewire instead...but im scared about getting a virus from it!
idk what to do

a really long time ago i downloaded something like limewire called KAAZA or something, and i got soo much spyware from that

any suggestions???? THANKS!! (link)
You should download Warez, it's a really good program to download music, and yes, it's legal and free. There's no spyware or pop-ups!

I have this beautiful dress for holloween but i dont know what to be. it is a floor length dress and it strapless on it is pink with a brown sash. i dont want to be anything scary either. (link)
You could go as Elle Woods, since it's pink and if you have blond hair. You could go as a chic model.


it seems to be that either if i wear a bra or don't wear a bra that my boobs always look...well...pointy! it looks really weird and i don't think they are supposed to look like that...ummm...can anyone tell me why this would be?
uh thanks =D

14/f
(link)
Hi! I'm fourteen too. I don't really think you're wearing the wrong bra. But I do think it's a good idea to go have a bra fitting. You can have a FREE one at Victoria's Secret. Then, you'll know your exact size, and they will look and feel much better then.

If they are tubilar, you may want to go see a doctor.


I get really REALLY bad cramps on the first day of my period. It's just so bad sometimes I don't know how I don't faint from pain. I've thrown up a couple of times when it's been really bad. I was wondering whether taking the Pill would stop these cramps? Or stop them happening so badly...Anyone with experience??? Thanks. (link)
Yes, unfortunatly, I have the same problem and I have that for the first three days. I have them really bad, but taking the pill is not a good idea. Because the side effects from the pills, are worse than what your period is.

I just take the pain, it runs in my family so it's normal for me. You could go to the doctor, and ask him if there's anything you can do to help with your period. Good luck!


hey i'm 14/f and 5'7" i really don't want to get any taller! my dad is like 6'1" maybe and my mom is 5'4". do you think i will get any taller? i got my period first in may.. thankss (link)
Well, it's really hard to tell because everyone's different, even though genetics to play into that. It still doesn't mean that because your dad is 6'1" you are going to be that tall.

Being as you just got your period in May, you'll probably grow some more, but I don't know that from any facts. It's just my opinion. I'm the same age, and pretty much the same height. I'm 5'8" and I think I'll get taller, and so does everyone around me, but it doesn't really bother me. I like being tall, plus, I want to be a model, so that will work good for me.

Sorry I can't help you more, but since everyone is so different, there's really no way I can tell you for sure if you will or won't get taller.


Hi, I'm Emily f/13 I am from Washington So heres my question to u, There is this guy in my math class he is so cute and nice so I had my friend Brittney ask him if he liked me and she said well I talked to him last night on the phone and he said he thinks your cute but he doesn't know if he gets to know then maybe he would like you. And I was the like no way and she said yep. So I was sooooo excited and told my best friend Shannon and she said Oh my gosh I am soo hooking you 2 up and I'm like Shannon no I don't know for sure yet if thats true. Well she talked to him anyways which made me sooo mad and this is what she asked him, So I heard you think Emily is cute and if you get to know her better you would go out with her and thats not what I told her at all! This is what he said, ya did you hear that from Brittney and she said yes. Then He said well ya I just told that to Brittney to be nice and I really don't think she's that cute and I probably wouldn't go out with her. Then I got really mad and thought Brittney lied to me and she said I didn't lie to you I swear. Then she called him the next night and they got in a fight beacause Brittney said why the heck did u tell Shannon that that Emily was ugly! He said he didn't say that and that I was now kinda cute but he just doesn't know me. I DON'T KNOW WHO DO BELIEVE OR WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME !
from, Em_advice_chick_77

WOW! He could have told Brittney that, and he just told Shannon otherwise, because he really does think you're cute and just doesn't want anyone else to know. He could be shy, and too afraid to really let anyone know that he thinks you're cute.

He could also be doing this because he really doesn't know you, so he doesn't want the word to get out to you that he does (even though it already has) think you're cute.

It's hard to tell, because it sounds very confusing. Which I'm sure, is how you feel--confused. I would actually go and talk to him myself, and ask him exactly what's going on, and if he likes you or not. I know, it's so easier said than done, but you could find out a lot easier that way, than going around in circles with your friends. Good luck!!!!!
