does that clearasil ultra clearer skin in three days stuff work? or natures cure? if not what does.

clearer skin in three days= it works
especially the treatment bottle

i haven't tried the pads though.

and clean & clear is good too!

Okay, 2 days ago I shaved "down there." Im a girl, by the way. And now it ITCHES so bad. I dont know what to do! What can I do to make it stop itching..I put lotion on, that didnt really help though.

I have always used allergy medicine. Like Benadryl?

And the itching went away.

Alright, I need some cute pet names! The ones I usually use are like "cutie, sweety, honey" you know, the norm.

if you guy could, it would help A LOT, just anything, and if its something a little...odd, explain please? lol. one day I called him stud muffin.. it was really funny, but he didnt like it :D

thanks a lot guys!

Bear?
Nerd? haha.

what can i do about my split ends?? like what kind of shampoos or anything ot make it straighter and healthier???

You could use hot oil treatments or get them trimmed.

You could alwys straightened the split ends to make it straighter BUT it would make it frizzy ..

Just get a trim and tell the person that you want your hair long.

how can i make my hair grow faster?

i can't get extensions, i need something that won't cost more than $40

home remedies would be great

anything else would be welcomed! i don't even know where to go or what to get but i want my hair very long as soon as possible.

thank you
=]

Sallys:

Has extensions ($30 i think) ~you can put in yourself.
You could either glue it in or attach it with extension clips.


Pills:

Biotin- makes hair, nails, skin healthier.

I have been taking it for 2 months.

Before: http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l181/teenyrawr/barelyonshoulders.jpg

2 weeks ago:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l181/teenyrawr/wavybutpastshoulders.jpg

It takes time but you could see the difference


Shampoos:

Herbal shampoos are good

Mane N Tail- originally for 'horses' BUT. people have been using it because of the proteins in it. It makes hair a bit thicker and softer. My hair looked longer when using this.

how do i cut bangs like that

Well it's really hard to explain it.

I know how to cut hair
but it's easier to get it cut by a professional then doing it yourself.

It looks like her hair is cut straight across [and it looks like it grew out]

and she rolled her bangs to get that bouncy look.

I went to the dermatolagist last year and got a product that worked. I ran out of it and now my acne is coming back all over agian and it seems to get worse each day even though I wash my face twice a day it doenst seem to help. Are there Any products that I can get cheap from the store that will help clear my acne fast. It's really embarrasing and I want to have clear skin for once. And my skin is also VERYYY senstive so I need a product that wont irrate my skin.

Can't you go back to the derm and get a refill?

Because I don't think any products you'll use will help your skin like what you got from the derm.


If you can't these products helped me:

Clean&Clear.

I've used this--
http://www.kostbutikken.dk/images/Clearasil%20Ultra%20Acne%20Treatment%20Cream,%20Vanishing.jpg

If you apply it about 2-3 times a day.. It will work.

The only bad side is.. it could dry your skin out or burn slightly. But it works really good. You just need a moisturizer or healing lotion and you are good to go.
My cysts [deep pore] went away in about 3-4 days!
And I have had those for 3 years [I tried every product- made it worse]

[view]


Should you use hot or cold water to wash your face. I heard one of them was better than the other.

Warm is good so you don't dry your face out.

Hot=open pores
Cold= closes pores

So cleanse when your pores are open.

Are piercings in or out right now? If so, what kinds? (Cartlidge, nose, lip, eyebrown, belly button, etc.)

Piercings don't make you goth.
Haha.

Ears? Cartilage is good! Wear those little hoops in 'em

I've seen nose & lip piercings a lot lately.

What is a laugh-out-loud funny (yet approiate) broadway type song for a girl to sing?

How do you tease hair?

You backcomb.

You pull some hair up and comb towards the scalp. (INSTEAD of the usual downwards, away from the scalp)

Does that make sense?

I'm not sure. Well you do it a few times and then you can spray it and pat or comb it down.

well they say that if you dont want to have pimples, buy makeup that are noncomedogenic & nonacnegenic. how do i know if my make up is like that? it doesnt say on the product. where do i find it? the ingredients? lol

Well it's supposed to say it on the front of the bottle or box or near the ingredients.

If it doesn't then look at a new brand or ask a friend?

Is the make up you're using now giving you pimples?

[view]


is it true that if you trimm your hair 4-8 wks. it gets longer? explain why . i always thought that 'oh yeah who cares if i have split ends, ill let my hair grow a lil longer and then when its long already just the way i like it, ill have them TRiMMED!" true or false. explain why please. thanks can anyone send me a good website for taking care of hair???? ll thanks

Um no :D If you cut your hair.. it doesn't magicially get longer. It will take twice as long to grow.Trimming can make it healthier but I never really cared.

I just did what you thought. I know hair grows even with split ends because... that's like my hair haha.

I'll wait when I have longer hair and then trim it a bit. It just looks healthier. I don't know why it still grows when there's split ends... but you could always use hair treatments to make it look healthier without the cut.

~

Avoid using hair styling products with alcohol which dries out hair.

Hot air can be damaging to your hair so when using a hair dryer use the cool setting

Hair is most fragile when it is wet so avoid brushing or combing when it's wet, or else it will cause breakage, wait until your hair is almost completely dry before brushing it.

Shower with warm water, hot water can dry and/or irritate the scalp.

Use a leave in conditioner, it'll hydrate and protect your hair.

if you are growing your hair out
then don't trim it.

it will take as twice as long.
because then you'll have to trim it
and then when it grows back "HEALTHLY"
you probably would have to trim it soon right after.

but just keep growing it
and when it's long as you want it
get a trim!

My hair is very damaged. I wash, dry, and straighten (with a CHI iron) my hair daily. I've dyed it numerous times professionally, but she didn't dye it right.
When she redyed it to touch it up, she didn't just put color on the roots then on the rest of the hair 15-20 minutes later. She put it all on at once.
I haven't dyed my hair since July and you can see where the damaged hair stops and the healthy hair starts. I know the only way to completely repair damaged hair is to cut it off but I'm looking for a product that will temporarily "fix" my hair and give it a healthy appearance.

Thanks=)

hot oil hair treatments.

Any treatment for you hair would be good. Try a hair mask!

http://www.drugstore.com/templates/stdplist/default.asp?catid=80576&trx=29985&trxp1=80576&trxp2=2

I used a couple of products in the same week and my hair felt soft and it looked good.

And my hair was damaged x44536 (I bleached it & dyed over it a million times then bleached it again, etc)

If you go to a salon, you'll come out with really soft hair if you ask for a hot oil hair treatment.

These work good:

You can repair hair without cutting it all off.
Maybe get a trim and try out some products before cutting it.

Maybe don't use your CHI so much. Put your hair up? Your hair needs a break from heat and dye before it gets fried badly and the hair starts to bend on the ends.

14/m
this isnt appropriate but i need to get this out.
i dont really have a large penis or even medium sized. every boy says theirs is at least 7 inches. mine is smaller. i dont have hair on my armpits but im just wondering if that has anything to do with it. i have a little bit of pubes though. i dont want to stay this small as i grow up and go into my dating years.

Pssh at least 7 inches?

I don't think so. They are just saying that because they are probably average sized.

Don't worry, you've got years to grow.

And soon you'll get hairy haha.

Which isn't all that attractive.

What matters is how you treat the girl
and if she's being an ass about the size of your penis
you don't need her.

I'm sure you are medium sized/ average. It's a lot better for girls too. We aren't made for monster dicks XP

my boyfriends parents are soo rude. it drives me insane. i just came back from a 3 day vacation with them, and aside from being with my boyfriend, it wasnt too pretty. there was a couple occasions that we went out to eat, and they'd get up from the table and say "alright get up and let's go", even though i was still in the middle of eating. they did the same thing if we were in a store, even if i was looking at stuff to actually buy. also, they talk about people very rudely. when we were leaving, we stopped at a gas station and because the gas price was high, when they got back in the car they were whining about it and said "that b*****d can go to hell" and sayin they hope he goes bankrupt and stuff. AND they cuss SOOO much. like whoah. and the worse stuff possible. my family cusses minimally, and certainly not every word. its quite rare that my family cusses. but with them, every sentence they say contains a cuss word. one time his mom dropped some change or something in the room and she decides to yell "f*** me with a limp d***!". !?!?! that is just unnacceptable to me. first of all, thats not something to shout just because you drop some change, secondly, theyve used language like that ever since ive been around, but you'd think they'd have a little more respect and class than to use that kind of vulgarity around just anyone. and they smoke.. and cigarrette smoke irritates me. it burns my eyes and makes my head hurt yet i swear they each smoke like a pack a day. i just dont know what to do. i cant whine to my boyfriend about his parents. he doesnt smoke but he does cuss, although he tries to tone it down around me because he knows that i DO NOT cuss. i just dont. ive never been in that habit. and dont say talk to his parents because honestly they are quite intimidating to me. i cant tell my mom because she'll stop lettin me hang around them and say i dont need to be around those types of people, but i go to see my boyfriend, NOT them. basically i just want to know how to deal. any ideas? thanks- 16/female.

Well maybe you shouldn't hang out with his parents anymore, even if it's a vacation type thing.

Just be on good terms with them.

You're with their son, not them .. so you don't need to see them or anything.

You certainly can't change his parents and talking to them is.. just hard. So just hang out at your house or somewhere else as much as possible. If you are at his house then stay away from them and be with your boyfriend.

I'm sure he's worried about your impression of them. Just don't say anything, he's used to it and it probably doesn't bother him. He probably doesn't want anyone saying bad things about his parents.

Some families are like his but they cover it up when there's company. But his.. they are just being themselves and they don't want to hide it.

So just go see your boyfriend. You don't have to do anything with them. Ask to hang out with him.

WASSUP??!?!?


Ok, this is a stupid question since I already know the answer...at least I think I do...I guess I'm just paranoid...w/e thats what this site is for

does diet cola....if drank in high quantities...I drink like 12 cans a day....

well if you do that...will it make you gain weight???

I don't think it can make you gain weight but the sugars in it will make you crave other foods..


I used to drink that much coke and I got off for a experiment.

My breath smelled so much better.
No headaches.
My teeth weren't so sentistive/stained
More energy
and When I drank something else (no sodas) it didn't make me crave for more.

Soda just makes you thristier.

ok. i should be on the period like RIGHT NOW. but i'm not. i haven't had sex or anything but it's late. can someone explain why. thanks.

You can be off balance, it's okay. It may come a few days late but sometimes you can skip it.. if you aren't regular.

If you're stressing out, you probably won't get it.

You should only worry if you haven't had it for several months.

Do guys hate kissing girls who have on lip gloss?
cause thats what my one friend said, but i was just wondering..thanks!

Apparently some do.
My ex said it was gross, when it's sticky.

And also the flavor can be gross to them too.

Chapstick or lip balm is the way to go.
