When i wash my hair the day after it gets really greesy! any ideas what i can do to make it not ask greesy or not at all?
thanks a bunch
will rate

If you use conditioner, make sure you don't use a lot and that you rinse all of it out. This usually causes hair to become greasy and oily. Do you use your conditioner throughout your hair? You aren't supposed to use conditioner near your roots so just use it from the middle of your hair and away from your roots and that will stop your hair from looking greasy. If that doesn't seem to help, then put some baby powder in your hair and that will get rid of the grease in your hair. Make sure you rub the powder in. You could also try using a different type of shampoo/conditioner.

I got my prom dress todaii and its strapless...do you think it would look better to have my hair in an updo or styled down?

If your prom dress its strapless, then it would look better if you had your hair styled down because if you styled your hair up, too much skin would show. But if you want to wear your hear up, then do so but I would wear a necklace of some sort so your whole look will look better.

How old do you think you should be when you lose your virginity?

It really depends on the person and when they are actually physically and mentally ready to lose their virginity. There is no age but most people lose their virginity to their boyfriend/girlfriend and when you love your partner and if you know you are ready, that's when you should lose your virginity. Anywhere older than the age of 16 is when you should lose your virginity but like I said, it depends on the person.

Does Mystic Tan actually work? How much does it cost? Tell me everything!! Thank you soo much!

Yes, mystic tanning does work and it takes about 60 seconds for the whole process to be completed. Every tanning salon is different but usually, it costs around $10.00 to get a mystic tan.

You are pretty!, well your eye lol. it looks really good, how do you get that? ive always had a hard time with eyeliner!

any sugestions?

Haha, thank you. Everyone compliments me on my eyes. That picture was taken during March but I only put black eyeliner on and a light purple for my eye shadow and then I put some of the eye shadow underneath my eyes.

It's easy to put eyeliner on, well for me it is. I suggest that you use pencil and not liquid eyeliner because it's easier to fix your mistakes. Just sharpen the eyeliner and then just put it underneath your eye. If you mess up, just take a q-tip, wet it, and fix your mistake.

Does anyone know where I can listen to songs from the movie "Chicago" without buying the actual movie?

If you go to http://cdzinc.com, click on Classic Listings, then click Soundtracks, and there will be a Chicago link that you can click and listen to all the songs from the movie.

Instead of doing that, I'll just give you the link to what I'm talking about: http://cdzinc.com/16K/soundtracks/A_L/chicago.html.

okay at skool the other day i leaked and it was all over my chair. i coverd my pants with my jackett. i was wearing a extreamly large pad. it went through. am i bleeding to much
this is my 3rd period

Your period flow is just very heavy and you are very lucky that no one actually noticed because this happened to one of my friends and she was really embarassed but this is normal, don't worry. You are bleeding to much because your flow is heavy, that's all.

You need to make the effort of changing your pad a few times when you're in school or this will happen to you again.

Since this is your third period, your flow will eventually become lighter.

I need a dress for my 8th grade graduation, but I have NO idea where to look. Its supposed to look nice, but not too dressy. I'm really really picky though. Any ideas where I can get a pretty cheap dress for it? Thanks!

My 8th grade graduation is coming up and I haven't gotten a dress yet either but you can find some cheap but cute dresses at Debs, Charlotte Russe, JcPenny's, Macy's, Filene's, and stores similar to these.

All of these stores have a variety of dresses so I'm sure you'll find one.

OKay my i need 2 get my g/f a pair of pants for her birthday. So I need to know how girl sizes go. Like 12,14,16_,_,_,_,_ ect. Thanks a bunch. P.S i rate high

The sizes for girls jeans/pants are 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 (these are sizes for little kids) and then it goes to junior sizes and they are 00, 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and so on. Then there are women sizes and they are 00, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and so on. Just ask your girlfriend what jeans she wears as in size wise (I'm guessing juniors) and then you can buy them any where.

I've been looking into several ways to remove hair from my legs and underarms. One of my friends suggested using Depillatory Cream. (Such as Nair, Veet, etc) My question is, does this really work? And is it safe for underarms? What brand or product do you suggest? And how long does the hair stay off?

Using depillatory cream will definitely work to remove hair from your legs and underarms. Nair and Veet are both great to remove hair from your legs and your legs stay hair free for about a week. There is a product that used to be on TV comercials and it's called Epil Stop and Spray or something like that and it had this deoderant type thing and when you rolled it under your armpits, it would remove the hair. The hair will grow back in less than a week. All of these products work and I suggest that you use them.

I have been looking for some shorts for summer. I like SHORT shorts. Does anyone know where I can find khaki or denim shorts that are short? (Lately, everyone has been selling the long, bermuda shorts)

You can find some short shorts that are denim or khaki at Hollister, American Eagle, or at Abercrombie & Fitch. But if you don't want to spend that much for them, then you can buy them at Kohls or at Aeropostale.

Im trying to upload my picture but it keeps saying it's greater that 15K.What does that mean?

When you get the error message that says your picture is greater than 15k, it means that your picture is simply too big. Everything that is on your computer takes up space and has a size and so on.

It's sort of confusing to explain this but that's the best I can do and if you want to resize your picture, then read on.

To make your picture smaller, you can open your picture to your Paint program and go to Image, then to Stretch/Skew, and keep on resizing it until it uploads onto your column; that will take many saves and uploads.

Or you can just upload your picture to http://www.tinypic.com and you will then get a URL for that picture. Copy and paste that URL into your Profile Settings where it says "URL of a picture of you" and that will upload your picture. Don't forget to save your work.

does anybody know of how to get pictures and other things into your advice column i will rate high for reasonable answers.

To put pictures and other things onto your column, you have to go to your Profile Settings to do all of that.

There are a few ways to put pictures on your column. You can save a picture to your computer, go to your Profile Settings, click on Browse where it says "Upload a picture of you", find your saved picture, and then upload your picture.

Or you can just put the URL of the picture that you want to put on your column in the "URL of a picture of you" section in your Profile Settings. To do that, right click on a picture, go to it's properties and copy the URL next to where it says "Address URL" and then just paste it into the section that I just mentioned.

If your picture is too big, go to http://www.tinypic.com, upload it to that site, and copy the new URL in to the "URL of a picture of you" section in your Profile Settings.

If you know HTML codes, you can put [img src="URL"] into the big box in your Profile Settings. Replace the [ and ] with < and > and where it says URL, just put the URL of the picture there (I mentioned how to find the URL of a picture in the beginning of my answer).

As for other things, you just need to find out the HTML code for that certain thing such as music, cursors, scrollbars, etc. and put it into the big box in your Profile Settings.

Don't forget to save your settings when you're done.

If you need any help, feel free to ask.

Hi! I need help! I know how to delete things out of the history folders on computers, but everything is also saved in my address bar. How can I delete the names of websites in the address bar? (I'm trying to be sneaking ordering my bro's b-day present this year. He's a snoop.)

To delete the addresses in the address bar, you need to go to Start, then to Settings, click on Taskbar & Start Menu, and then click "Clear" where it says Documents Menu and that should get rid of the addresses.

Or you can delete your Temporary Internet Files but that may ruin your computer when you want to go to certain websites. To do that, just go to Tools, then to Internet Option, and click on Delete Files.

well i've decided that im getting certain dri, because of my problem,if its obvious.i just dont know how to tell my mom, i know its not that hard and i shouldnt be embarrased but i just cant for some reason.can you please tell me a way to tell my mom?

I have Certain Dri too and when I wanted to go to the pharmacy to get one, I told my mom that there is a new over the counter deoderant that will stop me from sweating and that it will work. She said that she would bring me and she did. Or you can just ask her if she can bring you to the pharmacy to get you a deoderant and that will work too.

When I was little I used to be really tan, but now I'm really white, lol. I want to be darker but it's not to easy for me to get a tan. Our yard is covered with trees so there's really no sun in our yard, I can't go to the tanning bed, and I'm not to sure about that stuff you can buy that you put on that makes you tanner... I always heard it makes you look orange, lol. So what should I do? Does anyone have some suggestions? If you need to know my age I'm 15.

Most of those tanners that you can buy at stores usually do make you look fake and orange but there are a few that won't. If I knew any good ones, I would tell you them but I don't remember any at this moment, sorry.

Even though your yard is covered with trees, are there any other places that you can go to such as a friend's house? If there is no other option, then I suggest that you put baby oil over your body and that will make you tan faster and it works.

theres this guy who i used to like. and yesterday he asked if i liked him. i said no and then he ssaid he needs a hug and he picked me up. does he like me?

Well, we know that he is definitely interested in you but there isn't that much information that will tell if he likes you but he probably does, since he asked you if you liked him and that he hugged and picked you up yesturday. He could also just be curious, since you used to like him, and that he only wanted to know if you still did but he probably likes you.

ok, well i'm an 8th grade girl and i really like this 7th grade guy, and he asked me out and i said yes, but i'm wondering if that's weird or not.. idk, i'm just confused, please help me!
~mandy

There's nothing weird at all with going out with a guy who is a grade below you. If you like this guy and if he likes you, then that's what matters.
