Q: my hair is like dead. i dyed my hair 3 times. the 2nd time it turned out wrong and went platinum blonde. (god was that horrible). but now my hair is golden blonde with dirty blonde/ light brown hair roots coming out. it is extremely ugly. the roots are about 3 inches long, i went to my hair dresser about 2 months ago to get it dyed, and she said she wouldn't dye it because if she did my hair might fall out so she said wait till my roots came in good. well i really want to dye it now, but how do i know its healthy enough without going back to her and asking her ? and i've been scrunching my hair more often for about 3 weeks now to make it more healthy, but what are more healthy ways to make my hair more healthy than deep conditioning ?

Try to avoid heat as much as you possibly can. Instead air dry your hair and allow it to flow naturally.

If you've been deep conditioning like a fiend and using no heat for a couple of months and your hair still doesn't feel any better, get a hair cut. Sometimes only a few inches is needed to make your hair look beautiful again.

Good hygiene is important for healthy hair. This includes brushing the hair properly and washing it with a mild shampoo.

Good nutrition (a well - balanced diet of fresh foods and lots of water) not only helps one to have beautiful - looking hair but also improves it's texture.

Give your hair a good brushing before bed. This should be done by bending forward from the waist, head down, brushing from the back to front. Brush at least fifty to one hundred strokes.

If you use alot of styling gels, hairsprays ect, you need to make sure you get all of those products out of your hair. You could use a clarifying shampoo once a week or you could just add a tsp. of baking soda to your regular shampoo.

Do not vigorously rub your hair dry, this may damage it. Instead blot your hair with the towel and let air dry.
Never brush soaking - wet hair, as the hair is quite elastic at this time and can be pulled and stretched to the breaking point.

Q: i have really thick hair but i hate my bangs because i have so much of them..i have side swept bangs but they're really annoying just because theyre thick...would it be possible to thin them out? would it look weird>? thanks

it is possible to thin them out but you have to be careful because if the hairdresser doesnt do it properly it won't look good. I have thick hair and very thick bangs and i got my friend to thin them out for me. but they grew back really quickly so i just pin some sections back with some bobbypins or i wear a nice head band.

Q: how do you tease your hair? like without it looking like naughty? wen i do it, it just looks like a huge knot and it doesnt look cute WHAT SO EVER. and my hair is jus so like flat. HELP

The way that I do it is,
I grab a section of my hair and lift it up on top of my head.
I use one of those combs with lots of little bristles and the long metal pole on the end that's used for separating hair, I think it's called a rats tooth comb.
Anyway, I get that section of hair and brush it downwards towards my head.
But I don't start from the roots, I start close to my head so it gives it more volume.
Once I have finished teasing it I spray that section of hair with a bit of hairspray and it usually holds for a long time.
hope this helps
