Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)

heyy!! i have a problem with making my hair curly; no matter how hard i try it wont curl; i dont want like tight curls; just loose ones almost like yours.any tips or products i can use? your hair is amazing by the way :]] thanks.
hey! aaww well thanks for all the comliments! :)
ok, let's see as far as how to get tighter curls, it's all about the hold. you want to use products that will hold a tight curl right after you make it. the best thing to do is to scrunch your hair and get it curly, instead of using a curling iron.
wash your hair, and then squeeze out extra water. comb your hair, flip your head over and put a good amount of mousse all over your hair. work it and and start scrunching your hair. then add some gel, and work it all the way in by scrunching. with the blow drier on the low setting, start drying your hair while your head is still flipped over, and scrunch the whole time with the other hand.
do this for a few minutes, and then add more mousse and gel as necessary. i do this 2 to 3 times because of how long and thick my hair is... it needs a lot of product! in addition to gel (i use LA looks for curls... it's blue) and mousse (i use rave), i also use SPRUNCH spray by Aussie... just put it on after the other 2 products. keep scrunching and drying on low until your hair is 99% dry, then put in some hairspray and you should be good to go. the curls should hold with all that product! but then again, you don't want to over do it because then your hair will harden! don't worry after a few times of doing it you will know the exact amount you need to use! :) good luck! let me know if you need more help!
