What are good products to use to curl hair, and help maintain the same bouncy curl throughout the day. I'm looking for a product that does not make my hair look stiff and un-natural. Any ideas?

could you be a little more specific so we can all help you better?

do you mean scrunched? because i use this product all the time!

http://www.johnfrieda.com/products/products.asp?pid=60§ion=products&subSection=frizzEase&lineID=4

you just spray it on damp hair, scrunch, and go! and it doesn't leave your hair all gross and stiff!

when do you use the refill pads for eyelash curlers?

i don't know if there is a set time when to start using a new pad on an eyelash curler. i always just wait until the pad is all gross and black or especially when it starts sticking to your eyelashes because this could cause the curler to pull out some of your eyelashes with it!

if i tell my hair stylist to texturize my hair what will she do to it and like what does it do to my hair?

hey my hair is like that :]

she with give you lots of choppy layers. and then she will blow dry your hair giving you a lot of volume at your roots. then she will put this texturizing creme in your hair that will define and separate your layers.

it will look really cute! trust me :]

ok. im starting highschool. and i'm not sure what to wear for the first day /week. i dont think we can wear tank tops, so yeah.

these are things i have in my closet..
-skinny jeans [dark ones and light ones]
-polos. [navy blue ones and maroon ones. i dont wear polos much..]
-skirts.
-regular jeans.
-black and white polka dot baby doll top. [thats really cute.]
-white shorts
-plaid shorts
-regular tshirts that just say like abercrombie or has a gumball machine on it. and stuff.
-this other cute hollister shirt, it has like a bow and stuff. its cute.

i have alottt of other clothes too. like stuff that all matches that stuff. i'm pretty sure i wanna wear the skinny jeans. the light ones, i roll up. and then the darker ones i keep down. i'm thinking of wearing the darker jeans. i dont knowww. what do most people wear on the first day?

[my mom wont let me get clothes right away, because when i switched to a public school in junior high, i kept changing my taste in styles.]

i mean i know what i like. like im into that whole california look. and i shop at places like urban behavior, a little h+m, abercrombie & fitch, hollister, forever 21, aeropostale, amercian eagle[kinda] places like that.

so any ideas?

i think the first day you should wear your cutest out. because you want to walk into school and be like BAM! lol. you want people to notice you.

maybe try a pair of your skinny jeans with the polka dot baby doll top. whichever pair matches the best. but if you wear the light ones don't roll them.

then for the rest of the week go more casual, but still look cute. you have to make a good first impression.

like try wearing your plaid shorts with a simple shirt. and some of your regular tshirts with cute skirts.

just have fun with it :]

I have thin hair.
But it's curly/wavey.
I was thinking of getting a straightener.
I like the chi, but I want to get something different.

My hair is pretty easy to straighten.
It takes 15 minutes with my old straightener.
I want a straightener that makes my hair REALLY straight.
And the chi works great with my hair.
But does anyone have any other suggestions on straighteners?
Max price is $150.

try this site:
http://www.folica.com/appliances/straightener.htm

it lists the 10 best flat irons.

I really need a new straightener, because my old Conair straightener stopped working all of a sudden
a couple days ago.
My mom said she'd buy me a Chi straightener but I don't know if I want one.
I was thinking of getting this Bed Head straightener.
http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=2144454
Does anyone know for sure or has one, or has used one.
Does it work the same as a chi, better or less?
It seems that it's really good.
Please tell me ASAP.
I'm going to go get it Tuesday.
Which is better Chi or Bed Head?

like everybody else said, i'd go with the chi.

i used to use a conair straightener for like 2 years. and they would always break and i would constantly be buying new ones.

but then i got tired of it and bought a Chi 2" Turbo straightener and i LOVE it.

it straightens my hair A LOT faster than the coniar did, and it keeps it straigtht throughout the day.

so a Chi is a good investment :]

I have kind of wavy hair that is really long. I love the way it looks when I get out of the pool. Is there any specific spray that anyone has used that is cheap and makes hair wavy and beachy-looking? I've tried some stuff but nothing has really worked so great... I don't mean scrunching gel... is there some kind of spray/mousse/etc. that can do that?

i typed in "beach waves spray" on google and a lot of results came up with this same product:

http://www.thisnext.com/item/3FEE92D3/Frederic-Fekkai-Summer-Hair

i haven't personally tried it, but i guess you could try it since its purpose is to create beach waves.i've heard that sephora holds that product so you can try gettin git there.

or you could try this product:

I got my new pair of Converse Chucks shoes yesterday, but on the box it says size 4 mens, and size 6 womens. But on the receipt it says MENS! Is this a good/bad thing for a *girl* to have MENS shoes? Are Converse Chucks men's and women's shoes kinda made/are the same way? I don't know if it's me, but they really DO look like men's shoes and it's kinda embarrassing if anyone knew! On the website converse.com, if you look at a shoe and roll over sizes in US womens then size 6, it would say "your converse size is 4" So I was wondering if I could still buy them online. (I don't think size 4 men's//6 women's and size 4 women's//6 women's are the same so I'm really worried I can't buy them online.)

everybody else that has answered below is correct. a lot of shoes are unisex [meaning they are made for men AND women]. i own 3 pairs of vans slip on sneakers and they come in mens sizes.

nobody is going to think that you are wearing mens shoes, because they are made for men and women, and millions of girls wear converse's everyday.

hi i was just wondering if i should gey long layered hair or short layered hair!

well i guess it depends on your face shape.

i personally like long layered hair and think it works on most people. so i would go with keeping your hair long and getting a lot of layers put in. maybe get the shortest layer around ear length.

good luck :]

anyone know how to do this??? please give thorough instructions! Pictures would be wonderful. If not, that's ok

do you mean the hairstyle?

if you do then i think all she did was put it up in a ponytail and curl the ends of the ponytail. then she left her bangs out in the front.

it looks pretty simple, but since i can't see the back of her hair i can't really tell for sure how she has it.

sorry if this isn't what you were looking for, i did my best with what you provided :]

13/f. so i know the fashion for most girls, is kinda tight jeans around the thighs and then lose ins done on the knee down. well im really skinny, i wanted to know if any stores sold pants like custom made, or for skinnier girls, because i want to wear my pants like that. the only way is if i wear very very shot capri's which end up looking like tight shorts. please help me.

-a skinny teen

i'm tiny too so i buy my jeans from delias. they're jeans go down to a 00 :]

you can also order american eagle jeans online where they also have size 00 jeans.

i've also heard that abercrombie has small sizes, but i haven't personally shopped there before.


GOOD LUCK :]

Here's a picture of me: http://a315.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/88/m_44aea35bd4d6651369d25f4366f364aa.jpg

What kind of make-up should I use? I'm not a big fan of eyeliner, but I will wear it if necessary...

What kind of mascara, lip stick/gloss, eye shadow, concealer, .etc should I use?

Thanks! :D

well since my skintone, eyes & hair are kinda the same as yours i'll tell you what i love to use :]

for foundation i really like the maybelline dream matte mousse. i think that you would be in the light shades.
http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Face/Foundation/dream-matte-mousse-makeup.htm

the other day i got this really great mascara by maybelline. you should try it in black. what i do is i curl my lashes first and then apply this, it really defines your eyes (especially if you don't apply eyeliner).
http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Mascara/sky-high-curves-washable-mascara.htm

then i use this bronzer:
http://milanicosmetics.com/powderbronzer.htm

now i don't usually wear eyeshadow, but if you want to you should try using a brown eyeshadow. brown really makes blue eyes stand out.

as for lip gloss i LOVE all of the victorias secrets lip glosses. they last long, smell AMAZING, and aren't sticky :]

good luck & have fun with it :]

I want to "super layer" my hair!!! Almost like the razor look, but a little less intense!!! But shoulder legnth and parted to the side....Do you know the term for "super layered" and can you give me a picture I mean I can't find anything I like....Thanks in advanced!!! =]]

what i would tell the hair dresser is that I want a lot of layers. but you still want your hair to be shoulder length. then tell her that you are also planning to side part your hair so that she will cut it like that.

kind of like this?

http://upload.moldova.org/movie/actors/m/mandy_moore/thumbnails/tn2_mandy_moore_3.jpg

her hair is curly but you can tell that she has a lot of layers

or like this:

whats the difference between razored hair,layered hair, and that "scene" look? can anyone show me pictures of each? (say they all have side bangs) (NO celebrities,please :]) thanks!

ok i'll show you pictures :]

http://www.hairresources.com/images/sce/rachelmcadams906250.jpg

^notice how her hair is not all one length.

now for razored i can't give you a picture because for girls all it does is thin the hair. personally i LOVE it. I get my hair thinned by my hair dresser and it makes it amazingly thinner.

now i'm not so sure what kind of "scene" hair you are going for because there are many different types. but here is a cute hairstyle i found:

something like the length of those :]

[view]

how would you get your hair like this?
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6c7s3s5

i have curly hair, but i straighten it, and it's a little shorter than hers

to me it looks kinda like she krimped it. so you could try doing that or you could try putting A LOT of small braids in your hair when its damp and letting it dry like that.

sorry if this doesn't turn out right, but its all i could think of.

Hey

Im 16/f and I was watching a report on E! about clip-on bangs. They looked really cute and not fake or anything. I really wanna try them out, but I have no idea where to get them. I dont want to get them online cuz i want to try them on first. Does anyone know a store or have tried clip-on bangs and has more info on them?

Thankss ppl :)

i've never heard of this before, but you can try this website

http://store.baronunlimited.com/humanfillins.html

or this one:

Ok,so you know how people have those "frount" bangs? (where the bangs go across) well, most people have those bangs,and they can move them to be side-swept. my question is,how do i ask for bangs that can be both side-swept and across? do you think it will work? thankss.

yeah i know people that have gotten that. but what happens is that they get their bangs cut straight across, about just covering their eyebrows. then they can style them to the side. but when you do style them to the side it won't actually 'sweep" to the side, it will just go sideways.

when you get yours cut straight across get them cut like this:
http://bangs.hairresources.net/eyebrow_bangs.htm

definitely NOT like these, they are too short:
http://bangs.hairresources.net/straight_bangs.htm

and then you could probably style them like this:
http://bangs.hairresources.net/side_swept_bangs.htm

just when you go to get your hair cut say that you want straight across bangs, but you want to be able to also style them to the side.

GOOD LUCK :]
