How can achieve the curly hair i want? My hair is naturaly wavy but has started becoming dull & straight from past straighteners i used. Geling my hair is completely out of the question (i think it makes hair look oily, messy, and just all around gross)! I tired a variety of mousses and shampoos but nothing seems to work! The only way i can "kind of" get my hair to look curly is if i sleep with braids (but that isn't the look i'm going for). So please help me, is there anyway i can get my hair to look nice, full, thick, and cury/wavy without it getting tangly and knotty! I don't have enough time to sit there and actually curl my hair with a curling iron but it you have a good iron to suggest please tell me or even other shampoos, conditioners, & secret tips! Thank-you so much :]

I would also suggest going to get a deep conditioning treatment, etc, etc.

But if you don't want to go to a salon then I would use Mane 'n Tail "Deep Moisturizing Conditioner."

To get curls:

LaCoupe "Perfect Curls Frizz-free Smoothing Mousse"
-Scrunch and leave to airdry or blowdry.

Or

John Frieda "Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Step 3"
-You can use this with the other products by John Frieda or alone.
-Again, Scrunch hair and leave to airdry or blowdry.

To get more of a wavy look:
John Frieda "Beach Blonde - Ocean Waves"
-Spray on hair and then twist into ropes.
-It smells good too!

Oh, and as the person said before, DO NOT BRUSH YOUR HAIR AFTER YOU SHOWER!

omg i love how some people pose on their pictures on myspace like some people only have half their face on the picture and some people like pose looking up like they were holding the camera above their head and they take a whole body picture that shows their shoes. They're really cute pics and i was wondering how some people do that. One of my friends on myspace has a picture of her hugging her legs or something like that and she's looking down on the camera. So did she put the camera on the floor and took the picture? I mean they're sooo cute and i wannt know how they took a picture with those poses. Thanks

Haha, that isn't called Photography, that's called crappy images that only show off half the girl's side so you can't see the HUGE blemish she has covering the other side of her face.

Don't worry though, all you need is a really bad quality digital camera or even a webcam. Then all you need to do is hold it high above your head and look dejected.

And to add an extra touch to those "photographs" make sure you sit on your dirty bathroom counter and add a mirror to your picture! Mirrors always add a nice effect so you cannot see what you really look like.

Okay I really need help. I am having my birthday in September and I can't think of anything fun. It needs to be cheap and fifteen girls are coming. Ideas please!

Well of course the usual bowling, swimmming, movies, etc. BUt I would suggest going to a RollerWorld (its like a rollerskating arena), if you have one in your area. It is fun and pretty cheap. Or you could go skating if you have an indoor arena. Another idea is you could go to get your hair and makeup done. You can get it done cheaply if you go to a Training college for hairstylists who are just learning. They actually do a pretty good job and at the end they are inspected by their teacher. Then after you could go to the mall and show off your hair and makeup. Since it is 15 girls, a sleepover is probably out of the question, but those are always fun!

i just found mary is cutting again after she promised her bf and i that she wouldnt do that anymore i think she is cutting because of me my family is screwed up right now and i just moved away and she really misses me we talk like once a day but we barely ever get to see eachother cuz i live and hour or so away should i tell her bf?i dont think she is doing to deep tho also if you tell me to tell her pearents it is a wate of time because it is not serious enough at this point

Cutting is always serious, but I wouldn't reccomend telling her parents yet. Sometimes parents don't understand and they will become angry and make matters worse. I'm not sure how you figured it out that she is cutting again, but if she told you she obviously still wants some help.

Telling her boyfriend would probably just cause them problems in their relationship, at this point, so you should let her tell him herself, when she gets the courage.

Ask Mary what you can do to help her, make sure that she has your support and let her know that you are there for her.

When you see Mary again, ask her if she would like to see a counselor or someone that could give her professional help. If she says yes then you should tell her parents. Although she might be mad at you at first, telling her parents is the best way to get help because they will hopefully be able to provide it and take her to a professional. If she says no, and she still isn't ready to get help, you shouldn't force her. If she feels like you are attacking her, she will just stop trusting you and then she won't confide in you anymore.

So suggest that you think the best idea would be to see a professional, but don't make her feel like she has to. She will make her own decision, and all you can do is help her. You can't force someone to recover from self injury, they have to be the ones to take control and stop it themselves.

I've tried doing my eye make up a lot of times but it just never looks right. I love this girls eye make up right here, and I'm wondering what she did to make it look so pretty and what she used. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k226/sexiigurl94/blahhhhh.jpg How do I get my eye make up like hers??

Okay well firstly if you have purple eyeliner (eyeshadow might work too) apply it under your eye, not on the inside of the lid, but right under. Then put a thin line of it on your top lids too, close to the eyelashes. It looks like she used blueish gray eyeshadow so apply that just to the lid of your eyes. After putting on the blue/gray eyeshadow I would probably take show purple and put just a little on the inner corner of your eyes and try to blend it into the blueish gray. I can't really tell what she did on the outer corner of her eyes, so whatever you think looks best. Then put a thin line of black eyeliner on the inner lid of your bottom eyes. (I know that isn't the best idea, but it looks like that's what she did.) Then mascara on the top eyelashes for sure, and if you want also on the bottom.

hi there. i'm a 15 year old girl, 5'2, with a 36DD bust. i also weigh 142lbs. the thing is though i dont think i look that heavy. i'm bigger framed than most of my friends i guess you could say, but i dont exactly have like..a HUGE stomach. i'm in proportion with my chest, haha. i was wondering if this weight was normal for my age. i've been to doctors and they all said i am overweight..but if i work out i'll gain more by building muscle. i want to get down to about 135lbs by october or sooner. so my questions are.

1. am i overweight? and by how much?
2. does anyone know of any good diets?


thank you all so much

Well your bmi (body mass indicator) says that you are overweight but not actually by that much.
Considering your bust size I think the weight you are at right now is perfectly fine. You said yourself you are in proportion with your chest so you probably look good the way you are right now. Although you do gain more when you build muscle, you actually look better because your body becomes toned. Weight isn't that big of a deal as long as you are healthy and arn't extremely over or underweight.

As for diets, I would just reccomend working out. It really does help make you look better. If possible join a sports team. Also if you can go for lots of jogs.

http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/Index.html

That site helps you keep track of your calorie intake and how many calories you are burning a day by activity. It will tell you if you are meeting the healthy requirements. So try that out, it can help regulate your diet.

I have a pimple like on my lip kind of, its right near the edge of it and i think part of it is on my lip. I've been trying to get rid of it. My question is how do I get rid of it? Any tips?

Well perhaps it is a cold sore? I know that they last for like 7 to 10 days. If it is a cold sore you should try not to touch it and it will heal faster.

please please help me. my hair has been horrible my whole life and i absolutely hate it. it is extremely thick frizzy wavy and coarse. i try straightning it and it gets straight but then it just gets frizzy. i think its damaged. i dont know. ive tried all kinds of frizz control and shampoo and conditioner that makes your hair smoother but it doesnt work.do you know of anything that will help my hair? i dont want to go to a hairdresser or anything but is there just really good hair products that you could get at like walmart or something? please help me. i really need your help.

I have curly, frizzy, thick hair.

If you want to keep your hair wavy, I would suggest using a mousse by LaCoupe called Perfect Curls. Or a hair serum by John Frieda called Frizz-Ease Hair Serum (Original Formula or Extra Strength, Step 3.)

If you want to straighten your hair, first use a straightening product so your hair doesn't get damaged. I would suggest L'oreal's Studio Line "Hot Straight" It is heat activated so it will improve the results when you straighten your hair and it will protect your hair.

If your hair is really damaged I would consider using a product by Mane 'n Tail called Deep Moisturizing Conditioner. You can also use the shampoo if needed.

theres a up coming tour called taste of chaos its kinda like warped tour but smaller..i really wanted to go and everything but i dont think mysparents will let me.i wanted to go with my friendand her parents let her go and they said as long as she finds a ride and someone to go with her..(its a hour away) but i really really want to go.can anyone give me something to work with and try and convince them to let me go?

p.s. my dad doesnt even let me go to the mall alone with my friends..ughh this is going to be hard

Taste of chaos is going to be great. Basically the first concert I went to was this year (I'm also 14.) Anyways my parents were fine with me going as long as it wasn't on the floor. Just convince them that nothing will happen to you and that it will be a relatively safe concert.

i have a knee problem - osgood schlatters. does anyone know anything that i could do to help it not hurt [as much]? i'm a runner and i have a knee brace and i ice it if it hurts a bunch but are there any stretches that i could do that might help? thanx :D

I have the same knee problem too. I could barely run after the first week I got it. It was very hard for me to do gymnastics which at the time i was doing 9 hours a week. Now I do 14 and my knee hardly ever bothers me because I didn't wear a knee brace and my muscles got stronger. Sorry if that didn't make a lot of sense. If you see a doctor they will usually tell you to live with it or quit the sport.

HeY..
This week it started getting freakin cold in texas *where i live*. And my skin freaked out, it has these spots where it's dry i guess but it looks like my skin's peeling. Ha ok it doesn't look as bad as that sounded, it's really not noticable but it is in my magnifying mirror! Ne ideas of what i can use to make it go away, or not show temporarily? Foundation just makes it look worse!

I live in Saskatchewan and it gets to about minus 40 here and you either have it to live with it or buy lotion. Lotion with scent is really bad for dry skin but the vitamin A and E enriched is good

hey dude,
you have issues, seriously. there is nothing wrong with religion. I'm caholic, and i love it. I've never been controlled by anyone else, everything is free willed. If you wanna learn more or have questions, my name on here is chizmasta, or go to this website, www.lifeteen.com

First of all I'm not a dude I'm a girl. Second of all you can not convert me religion is a way to have total control over your life and I would never want that. Third of all I may have issues but they don't have to do with religion.

I just met a girl named Lindsay this year we're not very close but we still talk. We went to the consession stand and she just bought a water. I told her she needs to eat..but she says she doesn't eat lunch. She told me that she hasn't eaten lunch or breakfast since the 6th grade and we're in the 9th now. She also told me that she takes diet and energy pills over the counter..which is really bad. She wants to be 100lbs and she's like 120 right now and she's about 5'3 or something..which is healthy I guess. She also told me her parents don't notice or care..but I don't beleive that. I'm afraid this might lead to anorexia or some other serious disorder..but she said she wouldn't..again I don't beleive that. I don't know what to do..every time I tell her to change she's like "What are you my mom!?". What should I do?

this website is boring but tell ur friend that she is weird and yell ANOREXIC at the top of your lungs in front of the whole school and then maybe she will eat

~Hey I have this cutting problem. I just always wish someone would take me away from this world. My parents just kicked me out...once for smoking pot and sex...and the other reason is becuz they didnt want me. Right before this happened I caught my almost husband in the bed with 2 otha gurls.I almost married him at 17!! I got a new bf though. That is the ONLY reason I am still her. I am living wit him for now. I tried commiting suicide once but my bf stopped me. Life just keeps getting worse. I cut myself to releave myself from deppresion, anger, and nething else. I want to stop cutting myself becuz my bf doesnt like me doing it. I was raped by my ex's friend(my ex set it all up)and my bf doesnt know yet. I am anirexic(food disorder). I am 5'6, 92lbs, blonde hair, blue eyes, white wit a tan. Pls help me stop cutting myself~

K well it think u shouldnt be all into the smoking pit and sex thing. Your parents love you and there just trying to have the best fro you but whenm you do things like that its hard for someone to love that person. And ive been in your parents position and its hard to deal with and sometimes you just have to lay your foot down even if it is getting kicked out of the house. But i have been in your postion too because ive cutt my wrists ind wished i wouild die but ya know how i got over it , i found something ..like a goal and set my mind to it and now im doin really good but i know alot of people like you and i treuy to talk them, out of it because i know they can do better things with there lives then smoking pot and getting married at 17!!!!! wel it was nice to tell someone who has a problem and try to help thewm..
