Okay, so today, I went out and bought a CHI straightener. (I had a Hot Tools one, but it's too old. That's why the CHI was purchased.)

Well, I haven't used the CHI yet, and I only bought it because everyone raved about it. So, before buying it I went on amazon.com, and other websites, and looked at customer reviews for the CHI. More than half the reviews said that the CHI broke, and left damage to their hair. The ones that put the CHI down, recommended the 'Sedu' straightener.

I read the reviews for that one, and everyone RAVED over it, just LOVED it. So, I'm curious..did I make a mistake purchasing the CHI? Or does anyone have one..and have any complaints about it?

Does anyone have a Sedu? I just want to know about them both, thank you!

:) Britt

i have a CHI and so far it hasnt broken or damaged my hair....but i also use special shampoos and products to protect my hair..like Cat Walk's Fashionista Smooth and Shine Shampoo...and Biolage shampoo and conditioner every now and then to keep my hair healthy ( it is good to change your shanmpoos every now and then to keep your hair heathy )
The whole TIGI line is a great source for things like this....(TIGI makes Bed Head and Cat Walk)

but eventually ANY straightener is going to damage your hair.......so you have to give your hair a break every now and then from staightening your hair...as long as you protect your hair w/ the right shampoos and dont strighten your hair every day for like 5 years...then you hair should be fine..

>>>> i dont know any thing about the Sedu....but im sure you can type "Sedu reaviews" in Google..and find reveiews on that!! HOPE I HELPED AND GOOD LUCK!!

Hi! ok i'm a 13/f who's in a rut. i need help please! k here's my question: i like this guy but i don't know if he likes me back. he's nice to me but i don't know if he's being nice to be nice or b/c he likes me. i've dropped small hints, but i can't tell if he gets them or not. he's super cute and really nice and smart. please help me out! *THANK YOU SO MUCH, btw you give awesome advice!*

first of all..thanks for the complements!!

as for the guy thing......dont forget you should be looking for hints too.....maybe ask "who do you like" and then laugh like it was a joke or something....maybe he will answer truthfully........guys can act wierd around girls they like.......ask some of your friends if you think he likes you .....if it is meant to be then it will happen.......even if he dosnt liek you now....he could later......so keep close even if you think things are hopeless!!
GOOD LUCK

Okay well im 13 and my boyfriends 18. We have been dating for quiet some time now... about 3 years. We have sex about every other day, but PROTECTED! Hes AWESOME! but im ready to bring a baby into my life! and he says hes ready and comitted! what do you think im turning 14 in 5 days so its better than being 13 and having a baby! p.s. dont be a fool rap ur tool!

you are TOO YOUNG....even if you think your ready YOU ARE NOT....its not easy raising a baby..plus your parnet swoul dlike KILL you

i hate to tell you this but my friends cousin was like you...she had a baby and her guy left her and now she is at her parents trying to get throyugh life......
think sbout it...if you have a baby... you will never be able to go party in college and in high school.....staying up all night like every night for your baby...and you cannt do any thing bad or your baby will ollow your example....
i fyou really want a baby...wait ATLEAST until your 16 or 17!!!

Ok. Well me and my best friend have been best friend for over 8 years. We hung out every day until she met a girl in my grdae. She really changed over the summer like her attitude and stuff. We never hang out because she is always with that girl. I mean i am not jealous i just want to hnag out with my best friend like we used to. We both dont hang out with the same crowds because she says that i hang out with the "popular girls." I just want to hang out like we used to. How can i say that but not in a jealous or rude way?!

i would say..."i think we have grown apart...and i dont want us to be total strangers later on" " i know we sort of hang out with diffrent crowds....but we can still hang out to gether"" or some thing like that...
tell her how you feel and that you still want to be friends...as for the changing thing...i have a lot of friends that have CHANGED ALOT too....everyone changes and sometimes you have to learn to live with it :O)......GOOD LUCK

when do guys start getting perverted (like sex) because i have a little brother who is only 12 and he materbates! is this normal?

it is very normal for a guy to be "perverted" at an early age....i have a cousin that is only 8 and he thinks of making out ALLL THE TIME!
-------experts say that if you are 11 or 12 it is UNhealthy to NOT masterbate!

Everytime i eat something, i end up feeling really guilty, and wish i hadn't. im really not sure how to find the balance between eating healthy but letting myself have treats without feeling like i did something wrong. its been happening more lately, and i don't know how to convince myself that its ok, but yet still keep eating healthy...please help : /

this used to happen to me...what i did is the "treats" that you eat....turn your "treats" in to like yogert or yummy gronolia bars...that way your still eating healthy....maybe mke a sweet fruit smoothie with ice and oj...(oj,ice, a lil banana, and strwberries is REALLY GOOD) GOOD LUCK

Well I've known this guy for about 2 years over the internet. (I met him through a friend who met him 6 months before me) We've talked on the phone, sent letters, pictures, webcams, and all of that, also I've talked to his family and friends so that I know everything he says is true. I've told him that I love him, and he says the same to me. When he gets his liscence, he was going to come and visit me. We only live about 5 hours apart... Yeah, we've had our ups and downs but i still love him, even though we're not "going out" or anything. I know he's had sex once before with his ex girlfriend of a year. I would have sex with him, but I'm still a virgin and I think I'm too young. He's not pressuring me or anything, it's something I wanna do. (Please don't lecture me about it, I know, I also don't need inappropriate vulgar remarks thrown at me for this) He's 16 and I'm 14, but I'll be 15 by the time he gets to visit. I just need some help on what to do to make me feel more open with him. I guess I just feel intimidated because it's not his first time. (It's also not like I've never done anything sexual before, just not sex itself) Please help me out with this.

I think you need to have a couple of real live, face to face dates before having sex. Get to know him even more and be sure that he is THE ONE!! GOOD LUCK

Everybody at school thinks I'm some innocent girl like I've never done anything bad, I need help on how to show people who I really am. I'm tired of trying to act perfect all the time for my reputation. I don't know how to show people that I am a party animal and that I am so far from being a goody goody. Nobody knows the real me. How do I show them who I really am without losing all my close friends?

it sounds lke you have been living a dual life...all you can do is be yourself..**its better to be love for who you really are , then to be loved for some one you are not*** maybe there is a combination of personalities inside you..that way you can keep your old friends and make new ones....i know what you mean tho...a couple of years ago..i didnt know who i was...i felt like i was never my self ..like i was trying to climb this rope of perfectness that wasnt really me...but i kept climbing b/c i didnt know what else to do..then one day ...i let go of the rope...i showed who i really was inside....now things are better than ever...i still have some of my old friends but i have new friends too...no matter what age or what problems you have...you may grow distant from freinds and then be reunited later...all you can do is be you and hope for the best!! GOOD LUCK

ok well when im at school everybody seems to like me and all but there are always rumors going around of bad stuff about me and i dont know what i am doin? is it because everytime i get dumped i go out with another boy? people have been calling me a slut ever since ive been hanging out with the popular people i dont know what to do i bc im never mean to any1 but i dont know what im doing wrong? i know this question is hard to answer but i need help!!!!

well...i have a freind just like that..she is really sweet...but she has gone out with alot of guys (ALOT!!) maybe you should take a break from the whole dating seene....as for the people prblems....sometimes ppl arnt "secure" with them selves so all they have to do is call other ppl bad things to make them feel good and liked....maybe they are jelous of you...all you can do is be as sweet as possible to everyone..and try to ignore every bad thing that you hear! GOOD LUCK
