Okay, I have long naturally straight hair and I really want to curl it but nothing seems to come out right
I've tried using curling tongs, plaiting it for waviness, scrunching it with mousse when it's wet .. but none of it really looks good.

The best one was the curling tongs but it takes so long, it's bad for my hair and at the end of it to be honest, my hair looks a bit messy.

Has anyone got any tips on how to curl it?

my friend was having the same problem you're having. she asked her hairdresser what to do and she said to not wash her hair the night before she wants it curly and to scrunch it and it will be wavier. give it a try

i make/embellish my own clothes.. and yes.. sometimes they look really cute!!! im afraid if i wear them people will make fun of me.. my quesion is should i wear them to school or not?
answer this question to get a 5!

yea u should totally wear them to skool, i do the same thing n its fun to wear that kind of stuff to school because you'll look a little different then everyone else

i was wondering if anyone new any good hair styles i could do for school besides the normal hair straight or scrunched and ponytails. i want something cute but like not over the top and doesnt take more than like 30 min to do. my hair is slightly past my shoulder. and i usually wear it straight

french braids might work

I'm tired of my super straight hair and since it's nasty outside it doesn't come out straight anyways so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what kind of scrunching gel or whatever works best and keeps the "wet" look even when you're hairs dry? And eliminates frizzyness too? I've heard of Pantene has one but i'm not sure. Thanks for all your help. I rate high.

i use BIO straight and sleek. you can get it at bath and body works

i am SO ugly. i know most people think they're ugly when they aren't, but i AM. i've been called ugly before, i've seen mirrors (unforunately), and they look horrible lol! how can i sort myself out so i can look pretty? my hair is kinda frizzy, i've tried SO many products on it; frizz ease, pantene pro-v, andy collinge, herbal essences, sun silk.. and loads more. anyway, none of them prevented frizz or 'flyaway' hair. i have straighteners that aren't really all that good, worth about 60 quid. i want some ghds but i'd have to wait until like august to get them, for my birthday (unless it's worth spending my bank account on them?). and then there's the fact that i don't wear make-up. i haven't got a clue how to put it on. i don't even wear stuff like lipgloss, i'd probably get it all over the place, and if i tried eyeliner/mascara i'd end up poking my eye out! lol! so anyway i'm clueless when it comes to make-up, any tips on how to use it/the best make up to buy would be so helpful! i've worn lipgloss before, but it just feels so.. greasy, and uncomfortable, it was from the body shop i think.. anyway, if you can help me look pretty instead of an ugly duckling, i'll be really grateful. thankyou!! xo

first of all STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR!!! you probly would look soo much prettier if you did!! plus you wouldnt have frizzy hair. get a new conair straightener if yours dont work. theyre like 25 dollars at CVS and other drug stores, trust me 25 dollars is not alot to pay for it. second of all get some black eyeliner, doesnt hafta cost that much maybe 2 or 3 dollars, and experiment with it! thats how i got to be good with makeup. just do different things with and dont worry about poking yourslef in the eye with it. if you just cant do it at all and you really need help get one of your friends who can do it to do it on you and to teach you to do it on yourself.dont try anything with mascara untill you get eyeliner nailed dowm perfect. third of all get lipstick that looks cute on you. lipgloss is sticky but with lipstick you cant tell your wearing it. hope i helped! if you have any questions for me about makeup and stuff please ask them!

I want to make my hair wavy. I already have natural waves, but they aren't that strong, and anyway they're frizzy. My friend uses mousse and scrunches up her hair, and she also uses tongs. I told my mum I wanted to make my hair wavy, but she keeps saying that the only way you can have waves in your hair is to get a perm. It's not, is it?? Because my mate says she's never had a perm. But whatever I say, my mum keeps saying that you can't have wavy hair unless you get a perm, my mum ALWAYS thinks she's right, I can't get through to her. Anyway, how do you make your hair wavy? Please tell me any products/tongs etc that are good, and if there are any sites that tell you how to get wavy hair then I'd appreciate it. I used to curl my hair with tongs, because I did Irish dance competitions. But the curls just fell out like 30 minutes later, so if you know how to actually keep the waves in place, that would be helpful too (I tried tresemme gel spray but that didn't work). Thanks! xo

get a wave iron thingy {i dont remember the actual name} those usually dont look natural but they work well to wavy your hair or get a curling iron and curl your hair. hope i helped!

AMy friend called me "emo" because I dressed like it one day and I like emo music. Theres nothing wrong with that, I think I am too but I want to know how to dress like it bc I didnt even know that I looked emo till they said something or how emo chicks look other then the whole pierceings thing.

i dont know what the hell an emo is but i suggest you not follow labels and just be yourself and not to give a shit if someone calls you an "emo"

I'm thinking of getting bangs. Like not the kind that goes all the way around and is in front. Side bangs I guess you could call them. I part my hair to the side. I have brown hair, and it's a little past my shoulders. It's straight too. Do you think that this is a good idea? I don't want them to be extremely long though or anything. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and if so does this sound like a good idea or do you think it will look good?

yea i think it would look really good on you!

When you put on eyeliner on your bottom eyelid,do you put it above or below your eyelashes? Also, what kind of eyeliner should i use? liquid or pencil? what brand?

thanks aton!

i personally like putting it below your eyelashes because it makes them look darker and its rlly rlly pretty. i prefer pencil to liquid and as brand i get jordana easyliner at drug stores that are retactable! its only 2.50 and it's easy to put on.

I don't have a lot of money and I'm very small, so where can I get nice kids clothes. (Pant size- 10 or 12. Shirt size 10/12 or 14/16.) Thanks a lot and please don't say K-mart :/.

you can go to ross or tj max or aj wright! they have really nice slothing but isnt expensive at all usually!

I just bought this really cute long sleeved, navy blue, button down shirt. It's adorable... but I do not know what pants to wear with it. I was thinking jeans, but then I thought that might be too much blue/ too dark. What would be the best color pants to wear with the shirt (I don't have khaki's). Thanks!

you can wear alot of different things with it. u could wear a plaid skirt that has blue in it or a white skirt but jeans wouldint be too dark n would look great with a navy blue skirt!
