alright so i take back the fact that im done with this advice column. but im just letting everyone one here know that i do have a life, and advicenators is not it. however, im here to help. i just wont be on every single day.

advice

k so i have really thin hair. like if i don't brush it a ton it gets snarly and knotty and like stringy if you know what i mean. and plainly i'm just sick of it. so is there any like shampoo or any tips on how to make my hair look or even be thicker and how to keep it from getting stringy and stuff.thanks in advance

hey, well you cant make your hair thicker. your kinda just stuck with what your born with. however you can tease your hair with a pik to add volume. some people dont know what a pik is, so ill show you just incase.

even if your not scrunching your hair and your straightening your hair or whatever, youll still want to put volume gel in it. also you will still want to tease it with a pik. i recommend this volume gel.

Thanks!

Ever since I was little I've wanted to model. Being in front of a camera and having all the attention is what I love. The problem is, I have no idea how to get started. Does anyone know someone I could talk to or any website I could go to? Thanks a lot =]

P.S. I live in New York if that helps.

hey, well my friends does barbizon.

I'm moving soon, and want to have an office in the house. I'm a student, so I thought it would be a great thing for my school work and other things I have to work on. Can anyone recommend or suggest somethings that I really need to have in an office? Also, I have to sell this idea to my parents, I'm in high school.

hey, alright well make it your own. treat it like its your second room. some things that you dont want to put in there are: a radio, a television, and a phone. that will just give your parents the idea that you just want to have a hangout place and are using an office as an excuse. bring your cellphone in there incase anyone needs to contact you. put a desk, a bookshelf, a chair, a laptop, and some pens. just the basic stuff that you`ll need.

When you wear body spray, do you wear it before you put on your shirt or when your shirt is on? Because I spray it anytime before recess but then I was wondering if it would colour my clothes if I spray it too much and someone said you should spray it before you dress..which reminds me of the Axe body spray commercial where the guy sprayed it on his chest before he wore his shirt on.

hey, well what i do is spray it in the air and then walk through it. that way it gives an even amount of body spray throughout my whole body. i do it before i put clothes on and after.

I use Herbal Essences Volumizing Shampoo and Conitioner and volumizing mousse and blow dry my hair but no matter what I do it always lacks texture and volume. HELP!!!

hey, alright well i would scrunch your hair and then tease it. in order to tease it, you will need a pik like this.

to scrunch it, use volume gel like this.

My 16th birthday isnt until the end of August..but I really want to have one & start planning. I want to have a huge party (like on MTV) but the problem is - I dont know if I have that much money. I imagine those parties are like, 300,000 thousand dollars or MORE. I definitely dont have that. Any ideas for a good sweet 16? Themes? Ways to cut the cost down?

Also, how can my party stand out? Obviously, I want a band to come - like Copeland or Dashboard Confessional..but that really cant happen I dont think. I dont know, IS it possible?

hey, well i think that you could pull off an amazing party just not as big considering they have A LOT of money. well location is a big part. if you have this party in a basement or a hotel, people will think that its just another regular party. i know tons of people who do basement and hotel partys. there just too simple and normal. instead have the party at a hall. for the theme, just use colors. black, silver, and teal look gorgeous together. in order to get in your party, you could say you have to be wearing either black, silver, or teal. if you wanted to be wild, you could make your theme leopard. you couldnt do wear leopard to get in because i dont think that the guys would like that or even some of the girls, but the decorations could be leopard. i saw a togo party on the last season of sweet sixteen. that could be a good idea. also for your dresses, have one to come in, one to party in, and one to leave in. i would skip the band and go for a dj. have them play like your favorite songs by the bands that you were hoping to get. for your entrance and leaving, you could have some hot guys carry you out and in. have fun [=.

heres the thing, i was with t-mobile for a little bit when the sidekick came out, but I prefered my cingular plan, because it gave me more minutes with the plan i was getting for my sidekick. so, i've been looking at e-bay to see if i can purchase an unlocked sidekick so i can use it with my cingular card, and i can talk, but still use the features. i don't want to be carrying around a whole bunch of phones. but, the thing is sidekick II's seem to come unlocked where you can use the internet, even with your cingular sim card, but the sidekick 3 only allows you to make phone calls and text. but then what would be the point of getting a sidekick if you can't go online?? my question is if any of you know of where i can get a sidekick 3 wher i can still use cingular??

thank you

hey, go the to cingular store itself and ask them. they will probably be happy to answer you considering that your still sticking with there plan.

okay, so theres this guy, lets call him.. well, lets just call him boy. so last year, by friend really liked boy, and i thought he was adorable as well, cuz well, he`s the cutest thing ever, but i didnt know him. he was in high school, and me and my friend that liked him were in middle school. so my friend moved about half an hour away, so she goes to a different high school and doesnt talk to him. at the beginning of this year, we started talking and we hung out a bit. then he snuck me out, just the two of us, and he kissed me. but at this time, he liked another girl. like, really really liked this other girl, but that other girl went to a different school, so they didnt talk much besides online. the next day, after the kiss, i asked him what it was all about. he said it was just spur of the moment and stuff, but i really liked him. after that we kinda stopped talking. now hes trying to get over the other girl, and were talking again and stuff. today, when we were walking, he grabbed my hand and now im so confused and i dont know what to do.

hey, well its not fair to you for him to just lead you on like that. tell him that you need to know if he likes you or not and if he does that he likes only you and no one else. explain to him that you cant take his mixed signals.

okay so, here is my story...
i am a 14 year old boy and a couple weeks ago i was with my friends and they had pot and i had some. things had been going really bad that week so i thought i deserved it. my gf broke up with me and i lost my cell phone and i failed 2 tests. it was bad. so i was really high and so were all of my friends so i just camped out in the woods that night. when i woke up it was like 10 and i remembered all of the bad stuff and i got mad because i new i was in trouble and i smelled so badly of smoke. so i went home and luckily found that no one was there. so i felt like crap and i was deperessed so i got like bleech and clorox and windex and a whole bunch more chemicals and drank it in my room with the door sealed shut. i was trying to kill myself. when i woke up i was in the hospital. i finally got to go home and i cant go anywhere (because my parents dont trust me). so ive been locked up in hell for ever! i need help how to get my life back together.

hey, well at least you know that you did was wrong and unacceptable. you need to have a talk with your parents. ask them for a therapist. that way they will know your trying to improve your mistakes and be responsible. you will slowly get your life back to normal. dont worry.

Hello there. My hair is about down to my boobs, I get it streaked every once in awhile, but not usually. I have a really really bad dandruff problem and I don't know why. I shampoo and condition my hair everyday. I also use a type of shampoo that my hairdresser got for me that is suppose to help with my dandruff, but it really doesn't work. Please help I am so annoyed with going to school and having to put my hair up/ coming hair over the top of my head so I have this weird 80's flip thing going on. My best friend told me that I should condition it everyday, and I will start to do that but if there is something else that is going on PLEASE tell me.

Also, I straighten my hair one day, and then the next day curl it with gel and hairspray, and then the next day wear it straightened. I wash my hair every day before I switch hairstyles but I have to know- is this bad? I am a teenager, and teenagers play with their hair a lot, so I konw I'm not the only one. If I run my hand through my hair I can pull out like 3 strands each time like *that* (snapping for effect.) and I always shed all over the bathroom. This, I also know, is normal because my friends say it happens to them, too. But it can't be good right?! Someone please help me here. Thank you!

hey, use head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner. that is suppose to work really good. the reason why you hair may be falling out is from straightening your hair so much. if you straighten it every other day for 1-2 years that catches up. it will make your hair very unhealthy and cause sheding. your not alone. mine does that to but im working on stopping straightening so much. make sure you get trims frequently.

One thing that really bothers me, and I've been noticing a lot more lately, is that I have bags under my eyes all the time. No matter how much sleep I get, they're there! I'm 14, so what could that turn into in 20 years? I'm scared of that. Any ideas for a solution? I have kind of dark spots under my eyes too, so any suggestions for that as well would be appreciated. Thanks!

hey, sleeping more will solve that. even if you have to take naps during the day just do that. it wont turn into anything big tho. they will probably just stay the same no matter how old you are. people dont look at you like "ew, look at those bags under her eyes". there a normal thing. just sleep more.

EDITS: NO, THATS NOT RIGHT. YOU CAN GET BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES FROM BEING DEHYRATED. PUT SOME COVERUP ON THE BAGS TO BLEND THEM.

okay so there is this guy i like. oh i'm in 10th grade by the way. and i've liked him for a month or 2 now. and like we talked a lot over the summer. texting and such online. but we've kindaa lost touch now and i feel like it'd be weird to jjsut randomly IM him or text him. so i always try and find excuses to text him. like if he is with his friends.. i'll make up something that he has to ask one of them or something stupid. so yeah i just want him to notice me and become interested again and reach out to me by texting me or something. please someone tell me how i can get him to do this... thanks so much!

hey, well confidence is a big turn-on for guys. they can smell it a mile away and they love it. if you think you look good then chances are they do too. dont wait for him to text you or wait for some dumb idea to pop into your head of why you need to text/im him. just do it for the sake of saying hey and let him know that. say something like "oh, i miss talking with you, we should keep in touch". make sure hes alone tho. also do it in a flirty way. need flirting tips? go to http://www.links2love.com

He's one of my best friends and I love him so much. (as a friend) but ive secretly liked him the whole time and i can tell he's liked me back. =) but then today at school i heard from my friends that he was absent all week and it wasnt because he was sick. and he wasnt skipping either. he left. he left the school and transferred. i found out this morning and later today at recess i was crying so much i made a huge scene because i wont see him again. this happened with one of my other best friends. we lost touch because he left the school and nowhe just laughs at me and i dont wanna face that with someone i like even more. hes the SWEETEST guy ive ever met and he was always there for me. i need him by my side. i dont know what to do! i cant talk to him on the phone cuz i dont have his number, i cant IM him or email him cuz he doesnt have a computer, and i only RARELY see him at hockey games. he wont b able to sign my yearbook anymore. i cried 2day like 5 times about this and i cant stop! help! what can i do?

hey, well someone from your school must know his phone number or some way to contact him. ask around and see what you can get. also keep going to hockey games and chat him up there. make him feel like you like him and flirt a lot if you see him there. need flirting tips? try http://www.links2love.com
