I'm looking for a product(shampoo) that tames poufy hair, makes your hair sleek and shiny, and helps to make your hair somewhat thinner. I've already tried the product Pantene Pro-v has. I think it's called sleek and shine. I've also tried Garnier Fructis's sleek and shine products. Many other brands don't have specific types made to make your hair thinner and sleeker. I don't want to buy Matrix products because I don't need to spend like 25 bucks on shampoo. If anyone has had good experiences with brands that aren't outrageously prced I would like to know!! I also would like you to give me the SPECIFIC name of the product...not just the brand!


Thanks in advance, i could use some help!

I know you've mentioned Pantene Pro-V but have you tried their treatments? I use Pantene's "Smoothing Comb-in: Smooth Start" treatment and it straightens and smooths my hair. It works wonders. John Frieda's new shampoo and conditioner will defrizz and smooth your hair also. There's also Biolage products, though they are quite expensive but they seem to work.

Some of my friends are smoking (cigarettes). I'm really worried but I don't think they'll listen to me if I ask them to stop. Should I stop hanging out with them or what? I'm afraid of being pressured by them.

You should stop hanging out with them, just because they smoke. If they pressure you into smoking, simply tell them that you don't like smoking, in general. They are your friends and they should understand.

When i got my belly button pierced they gave me a Captive Navel Ring. It looks like this

http://www.monstersteel.com/products/full/456.jpg

I've had it pierced for about 5 months now and everything looks good but i cant remove it. My mom wont take me to the place that I had it done because shes to lazy but i really want to change the ring.

Any help on how to remove it?

I RATE 5'S!

I used that same ring also, when I got my belly button pierced and I had trouble removing it also. The way I removed it was I turned the ball/connecting piece and pulled on the bar and it came off. If this doesn't work, they say you can take plyers and remove it but I've never tried that.

Does discharge mean your close to your period?

That doesn't necessarily means your going to get your period. You could discharge for weeks and not get your period. It depends, really.

Edit: You'll have discharge through out your life and it doesn't really go away.

What Happend to the Site News??? There hasnt been any in about 1 or 2 months!

Dangernerd hasn't had the time to update it for a few weeks. Usually, he'll update it every week but since he has so much to do, he hasn't for a while. The site news is still running, just go to this page: http://advicenators.com/news.php.

I'm thinking of going to a new school next year. I don't want to leave my friends. This new school has more opportunities for me, though. I can't decide. Please help!!!

If you do decide to go to this new school, that doesn't mean you still can't keep in touch with your friends. If this school has more opportunities, then you should go and you'll still have your old friends while making new ones at the same time.

Does anyone know a website where I can make my font on myspace like bold, bigger, smaller, hearts, and different fonts?

someone asked this question but it didnt help me. how to make your myspace private... i went to Privicy setting already..


1)Require email or last name to add me as a friend
2)Approve Comments before Posting
3)Hide Online Now
4)No Pic Forwarding
5)Friend Only Blog Comments
6)Block Friend Request From Bands
7)Friend Only Group Invites
8)Disable Band Songs From Automatically Starting


none of those say anything about making my whole myspace private to only my friends...which one to i click?

You click neither of them. If you set your age to over eighteen, then you don't have the option of setting your page to private. Change your age and the page privacy settings should show up, the next time you go to your privacy settings.

omg i think i like the same guy as my friend! i hate this, how do you stop having feelings for somebody? i can't control my feelings anymore and even though i know this is just an infatuation, i want him and at the same time i don't want my friend to be pissed at me! WHAT DO I DO???

You can't stop having feelings for a guy, just because your friend likes him too. Your friend shouldn't get mad if you two like the same person. Your friendship comes before this guy.

My very very good friends birthday is coming up. We just started being friends a month ago, when I met him & he's super cool. I've been thinking of getting him some presents, will you tell me if you think it's okay: Headphones [for his ipod because his are broken & they sound crappy] & the exorcist [original movie, he really wants to see it.] then i'm going to buy him a card & balloons, and also I wanted to make him a small cake. I'm really tight on money, so i was also wondering do you think he'd be okay w/ just me making him a cake and decorating it all pretty? instead of buying a cake? thanks so much.

Making the cake yourself is definitely better than buying one. He'll know that you to took the time and effort to make it. It doesn't have to be perfect either. If you're low on money, exclude buying The Exorcist from your list. He can always rent it for a couple of dollars. Your list of presents is perfect.

Can you get banned if you have multiple columns? I'm just wondering. Because i see this person and she has like tons of columns and i was just wondering. Thank you for your time.

It depends for what they are for. If they are each used to send personal messages to certain columnists, then yes. If you are banned and decide to make another account, then you can also be banned. If one of the columns is not used anymore, then your other column won't be banned. This page will explain it: http://www.advicenators.com/faq.php?f=96.

okay what would you do if this "friend" always ditches u for someone else and only hangs around you when she aint got nobody else? i mean we use to be really good friends but now she only wants to hang with this other friend and is beiong really mean? please help!!! thanks buh bye!!

You should talk to her and let her know what she's doing is wrong and that she shouldn't only hang out with you, when there's no one else. She shouldn't use you and she's clearly not a good friend, as she used to be. When she wants to hang out with you, don't and just go out with your other friends. Maybe then she'll understand how it feels to be used?

I'm having my birthday this weekend. I'm turing 14 so where would be a fun place to go??

Bowling, swimming, skating, & a house party because I've already done that and my mom said I shouldn't do it.

I was thinking about lazor tag, but it's in Illinois so I can't do that.

What would be fun & I'm planning to have just 5-6 people. Thanks!!

♥ Teza

If you have a Dave and Buster's near you, you could have your party there. Your mom could supply each person with a ten dollar power card and that would be fine. One of my friends had a party there a few years ago and I had a good time. If that's not an option, you could always ask one of your good friends and see where they think your party should be held. Lazor tag would be awesome, though you can't do that.
