I have kind of wavy hair that is really long. I love the way it looks when I get out of the pool. Is there any specific spray that anyone has used that is cheap and makes hair wavy and beachy-looking? I've tried some stuff but nothing has really worked so great... I don't mean scrunching gel... is there some kind of spray/mousse/etc. that can do that?

I don't think there's a specific spray.. You just have to find the technique that works for you. Everyone's hair is different so what works for someone.. will probably not work out for you. You could go to a salon and ask them how to do it.

there's a certain technique you could use with a flatiron to get those waves. but it's rather hard i guess.

I get beachy looking hair by starting off with wet hair. I do have a wave in my hair so I tend to put in whatever gel I have or some pomade serum stuff. I scrunch my hair sometimes. I blowdry my hair a little so my hair doesn't drip. I twist my hair around to make a messy bun.. So in about an hour or so, the hair dries all messy and wavy.

You can take it out and put more gel on it.

Or you can try putting in some of

TIGI's Catwalk Curls Rock Curl Amplifier.
It made my hair have little spiral curls/waves throughout my hair. Depends on how much you use though.

You know how people say lol, and lolz? Well there are other words I don't know. What do these mean? Lawl(z), zomg, and homg. -_-;;;

Lawl is the same thing as "lol". It's just another way to say it. It's like saying Lolli. Lawl-e

zomg is a variant of oh my god.

i think the Z was a mistake though. you try to hit the shift key with the left hand to type OMG and accidentally hit Z.

now it's just used in a sarcastic manner.


Homg is the same thing as above. People usually say it like "Ho em ge"

I'm going to be bleaching my hair in a couple of days, and I need some names of some good, but cheap, bleaching kits.

I have natural jet black hair. And I'm going for an almost-white blonde.

http://www.style-hair-magazine.com/image-files/largeblondehaircolor1.jpg

^color that i want. (didn't putit into link, because didn't know if links were blocked on advicen.)

Hah, also, if you can tell me a brand that I can get from walmart/k-mart, lol, those kind of stores, than that would be fantastic.

"Raw White-Out Bleach Kit" for $13
This bleaching kit is from hot topic. It works pretty good.

Something I've seen in walmart:

Loreal's bleaching kit.

http://www.shopinprivate.com/lorsupblonha.html


I'm not sure if you have bleached your hair before..
But yeah don't try to get it white blonde in one day? Try bleaching it once and give your hair a rest for almost 4-7 days. Because I tried it all in a few days and well, bad move. Make sure you buy a purple toner and shampoo fitted to damaged hair. Or go out and buy shimmer lights, I heard that really works to keep the yellow out of blonde hair.

I totally LOVE your eyebrows.

I know, pretty random, but i always have wanted my eyebrows to look like yours.

My eyebrows have a little arch to it, but i have always wanted a more visable one.

Is there anyway i can make my arch more higher? I can not wax it or thread it higher because no hair grows on top of my arch.

Heres a picture of what it looks like basically:

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/ap/5dab2197-86f9-4e60-b840-0c0dd2e912fa.widec.jpg

Thank you! (14/f)




You do? Well, thanks. I'll kill for your brows though.


My eyebrows were really thick in the beginning and I overplucked a lot. The only way to get your arch a bit higher is to grow your eyebrows out... which take forever.

Do you have a picture of yourself though? Your eyebrows probably flatter your face more than the ones you want. I went through different eyebrow shapes/arches. Having a higher arch might make you you look too surprised.

There's a few options you can do.

When I was growing out my eyebrows, I used Ardell's Brow & Lash Accelerator

http://www.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/25/9/AAAAAjHuFe0AAAAAACWYJA.jpg

It's about $4, it looks like a mascara brush. You can put it on your eyebrows to restore plucked eyebrows and weak eyelashes. I had some hair grow on top of my brows.


Also, you could go to a salon and see what they can do. They probably no more about this than I do. But I've heard some salons dyeing the light hairs above the eyebrows.. to create fuller eyebrows.


You could always fill in your eyebrows with a liner and a eyeshadow. I know there's some stencils of eyebrow arches at drugstores. If you get some eyeshadow the shade, you could create a higher arch and pluck the hairs to make it a bit thinner.

I just plucked the ends of my brow to make it really thin... My eyebrows are kind of low so I wanted an arch to make it appear a bit upwards. You could try making the end thin and if you don't like it, fill it in with a liner or something and smudge it.

what is a water proof mascara
that lasts a long time?
thank you very muchhhh. (:

I'll have to say

Maybelline's Lash Stylist.

http://www.superdrug.com/content/ebiz/superdrug/invt/261092/261092_l.jpg

It looks really good when you curl your eyelashes. After a whole day of wearing it, I tried washing it off and it didn't do a thing. So I consider it to be a really good product.

when you give a guy head, how would you prevent his penis from rubbing against your teeth? and if it did, but wouldnt have pressure put on it, would it hurt him? haha sorry for such an awkward question! and thanks

You have to open your mouth wide enough. Try opening your mouth in a big O without your teeth showing. Just like how you suck on your finger, your teeth are out of the way. When you do it, just remember that you are using your lips and tongue[if you want].
Yes teeth will hurt him, it's very sensitive so I wouldn't use any teeth or biting/nibbling. So if you give head, it's best to take it slow so your jaw doesn't hurt or anything.

Just move your lips when you do it, if your mouth is open.. your teeth will be pushed back and out of the way.

im about to go pick up some of that "mane and tail" shampoo and conditioner. Ive heard it strengthens hair if used over a long period of time... im just wondering any experience with it? is it just a myth or is there some truth to it?

I used that for many months. My hair was fried. It did strengthen my hair just by using the shampoo then I got some conditioner. It really makes your hair softer and shinier.

So yeah, if your hair is damaged then you'll see or feel a difference.


Over time, your hair gets thick(er) and full.

Sometimes when my boyfriend gives me hickeys, they turn people at first, right? Then they turn a yellowish color.. Is that normal? Why is it turning that color?

A fresh bruise turns red and changes to purple or blue. You know when the bruise is healing once it changes to yellow. So yes it's normal.

"It is the hemoglobin in the red blood cells and the breakdown products of the hemoglobin that cause the coloration seen in bruises as they age."

Hello I wanted to ask you a qucik question, I am so scared to get my wisdom teeth pulled, I am crying about it right now just thinking about it, I'm not scared for the segery I am scared for them to put me asleep. Also do they have to put an iv in you and if they do why? I hate needles is there a way around that? any advice would be great thank you so much

I was like that too. But don't worry, its best to be asleep than have the laughing gas. I wouldn't want to see what they were doing. Yes there has to be an IV put into you. There's no way around the needle, I asked because I hate needles too. But don't worry about it, it will be okay. The needle felt like a tiny prick. Just don't look at it. It's a really small needle and in a few seconds, you'll be knocked out. For me it was smaller than a sewing needle! Once you wake up, the needle is out and everything.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. :]

15/f my boyfriend talks to other girls i got on his myspace and a lot of them were telling him they liked him and stuff.


"and he said i have a girlfriend friendships are a lot better anyways. and they last longer.=]"


what do i do?

it made me sad..

Of course he's going to talk to other girls.. But if he's flirting back, then that's a problem.

I think you took it the wrong way.
He's not going to cheat on you or anything.. if he said he had a girlfriend. He sounds faithful to me. He said friendships are a lot better to those girls, because a friend is what they will always be to him.
To me, you're his girlfriend and he doesn't want to be with them.. so that's why he said a friendship will last longer for THEM.

A couple of girls always flirt with my boyfriend and he always mentions that he has a girlfriend. You can't stop girls from liking him or talking to him. You don't want to seem jealous. He should be able to talk to other girls, just like how you talk to other guys. It's just your friends. They should know their boundaries.

I need to get a lot of clothes in the next month, by the time I start school. Where can I get nice clothes that aren't too expensive, so I can get more of them?

Thank you!

-Styles for Less

-Ross Dress For Less
I got many cute shirts from there and they were about $5-10 each.

-Thrift Stores are the best in my opinion. If you don't like something, you could always fix it by cutting it and making it into your own thing. Sometimes they even have sales so I got many dresses +shirts for about $50.

-Dollar stores for cute socks.

Go to your mall and look into the sale, clearance items!

i just need a vote. which do you think is more popular, or do you like more?


straight or curly


thankss :D

I think straight is popular because of layered, choppy, fashion mullet looks.

But really, CURLY is beautiful :D Even wavy looks amazing rather than pin straight.

what's the difference between track & cross country?

Track is usually called track and field.
It's just events the include running, throwing and jumping.
There's usually sprints, long distance runs, hurdling, relays, etc

Cross country is just about running. Usually a team has to complete a whole course together.

My hair is starting to grow out after dying it & it looks awful, so I was thinking about trying extensions once it grows out to a certain length.
If you get the clip-on hair extensions, is it easy for them to fall out? Any certain brand that you would recommend? Thanks in advance!

It's not easy for them to fall out. But make sure no one pulls on them.

Sally Beauty Supply has some good human hair ones. Don't get cheap ones. Sometimes those get so itchy. Synthetic types are not good because it's like the hair you see on hairties and you can't dye those or curl those. Human ones you can bleach, dye and curl. :]
It's about $30 for each track. I heard from my friends that it lasts a lot longer than other types.

to lighten the color of your eyebrows without going to a salon? im getting my hair highlited and my eyebrows are already darker than my hair for some weird reason.

Boxdye doesn't really work. I would go to a salon and ask if they could lighten your eyebrows. I would get your hair highlighted first so they would pick a good shade to lightened it.

I've tried boxdye and it did nothing. If you have dark hair, your eyebrows should be a shade or two lighter.. to soften up your face. If you light hair, then dark eyebrows are okay.

The only way to lighten your eyebrows is by bleach and that's not wise to do by yourself. You don't want that stuff to get into your eyes. You also don't want your eyebrows to get lightened too much and it could actually fry your hair or burn your skin. Going to a salon is the best thing because it's safe when professionals are doing it.

I would also try lemon juice. It's a natural bleach so I guess if you dab some on your eyebrows before you go out in the sun, it will make it lighter slightly. You won't come out with great results though.

But I think you'll be okay with highlighted hair and dark eyebrows. If it bothers you that much, maybe you can thin out your eyebrows or shade them in with some eyeshadow or eyeliner.
