Hi =)
I'm Karma [I know, what a nice name eh? =P] anyways, im 13, going on 14 soon. I am a cheerleader and proud of it =D. I cannot live without music, I bring my Ipod everywhere I go, even if it's just down the road lol. Art and Photography are some of my absolute favorite things, therefore I love photoshop =), and there's to much more stuff to write down lol. I love giving and getting advice, and I will do my absolute best to help you in your time of need, Fashion, Love, School, Makeup, you name it, I will help you. Any questions just pop one in my Inbox =D

advice

I was thinking of getting a haircut soon. I have longg plain hair and it almost reaches to my belly button. I have side bangs, and black hair. I was thinking of getting layers, but idk... I'm into the emo hairstyles, but I don't wanna look like a "poser" .___. I don't want anything too extreme either. :P so basically my hair-related questions are:

1. What kind of hairstyles would you suggest? (pics would be great if you have any)
2. How can I get rid of my dandruff/flakes fast, if there's a fast way to. Also, how can I prevent myself from getting it? (It'll be weird while the hair stylist is styling my hair and stuff, and there's lil white stuff in my hair x.x ;[)
3. How can I get rid of pimples? They're on my forehead, and my sis says it's cause of the grease from my bangs that clog up my pores or something. I know I probably shouldn't be worried since everyone gets them once in a while, but I don't want my hair stylist to see it... Like, he/she might think "ew o.o"

Oh yea, and it would be great if your suggestions are under $100, or even $50-$60 :D THANKS!!! :]

1) I think that layers would look good, and maybe cut a bit shorter, and if you want an emo hairstyle, then go for it, because you already have black hair, so it won't seem poser-ish. Here's some pictures:
a)http://photobucket.com/image/girls%20scene%20hair/issagirl2/Girls/scene-hair.jpg?o=7
b)http://photobucket.com/image/scene%20hair/emileexcorpse/Scene/emoscenehair99.jpg?o=16
c)http://photobucket.com/image/scene%20hair/strubleFACE/cute.jpg?o=106

2)Getting rid of Dandruff and Flakes,,you can use:
-Head and Shoulders
-Nizarol
-Just basically any shampoo you find that says anti-dandruff on it.

3)Getting rid of pimples::
I use Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent (here's what it looks like) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CVX39SPHL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
and apply it every morning and before you go to bed.
Then after the Astringent, I put on Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer (here's what it looks like)
http://www.acne.org/images/products/clean&clear-dual-moisturizer-large.jpg
And that routine every morning and before I go to bed helps control my acne amazingly =)

P.S. The stylist will not say ew to your pimples, trust me lol, I once went in with greasy hair because I didn't have time for a shower, and I had some pimples, and they didn't say anything at all.
P.P.S. Everything here is very affordable, like the haircut could only be $30 or under, and the shampoo doesnt cost more than $20, and the two acne products together only cost about $10

Hope I Helped
&Good Luck =)

I want to get my hair cut but I don't know what hairstyle to get. I have long, really thick naturally curly hair that I usually straighten. I have an oval shaped face and a big forehead. I want to get bangs but I don't know what kind to get. I also wanted to have it layered, but since I have thick hair I don't know how long to get them or where to get them. What hairstyle should I get?

I think you would look good if you got your hair trimmed a bit, but not straight across, kind of like flimsy or un-neat, you know what I mean?
And then get some side bangs.
And then get lots of really short layers (starting from about the middle-top of your ear, and going down)
And then straighten it.
Something like this:
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee196/wildthaaang621/hair/l_cee263f7834967a6e08ac2fd0dba2fb9.jpg
[the actual hair on the one, not the bangs, but if you like the bangs like that then go ahead]

Hope I Helped!

Since its going into spring it couldnt be that cold so you might just want to try a stylish sweater, or a sweater with like faux fur lining or something.

Okay, I'm looking to get my hair cut, I've never really had my hair, seriously short, but I'm looking to cut a lot off of it. I have sort of a heart shaped face, if that helps anything.


My hair goes to my bra line, which really isnt that long, but its never been any shorter.
First I wanted to let it grow, then I realized it takes FOREVER! So I decided to cut it.

My hair is naturally curly. But I can straighten it without a problem.

I'm kind of looking for a sort of cute cut, nothing too drastic.

I want a lot of layers, short bangs, umm. nothing too major.






you can go to this website, you have to make an account but its free and so is the program :)

What do I wear on a first date to the movies?

No heels, since I'm about his height. Anything else is fine. Hair, makeup, whatever...help!

Clothes: Wear a cute pair of jeans and a nice v-cut shirt [try layering with tank tops etc] and if you want a light sweater
something along the lines of this:
http://garage.ca/productDetail.aspx?productId=6727&displayGroupId=2
http://garage.ca/productDetail.aspx?productId=6853&displayGroupId=1
http://garage.ca/productDetail.aspx?productId=7594&displayGroupId=5
http://garage.ca/productDetail.aspx?productId=7235&displayGroupId=6
for shoes you could just wear cute flats, skater shoes, or flip flops, whatever you like.

Hair: If you have layered hair you could straighten it and then take some sculpting wax [for hair lol]
and put only a little bit at the end of the layers and you get the piecy look.
You could also scrunch it
http://www.wikihow.com/Scrunch-Your-Hair-in-Ten-Minutes
or put it in a cute ponytail, braid, or put it half up.

Makeup: Guys dont like girls who have a whole bunch of makeup on, so to make a good impression, take some liquid eyeliner and carefully line your eye lids, then apply mascara. If you have any acne or under-eye bags you wish to cover, then put some concealer on those, and blend well.

Hope I Helped&Good Luck!

I was thinking about doing black on the bottom and then my normal highlights on the top, but my mom isn't too fond of that idea. What do you think? Pictures would be great!

I think it would suit you.
heres some pictures of black with various highlights

How do you get mascara off the skin? I am always making mistakes in the morning when I am doing my makeup and it always takes forever to get mascara off... is there any easy way to do this?

Get an oil free mascara remover, sometimes you can get them with the mascara
http://well.ca/products/maybelline-moisturizing-mascara_3732.html
just take a tissue and fold it, then put some remover on it and gently rub away.
If its a small spot and you dont want to smudge anything then dip a Q-Tip into the bottle, roll it in a tissue to remove excess, then gently dab at the spot to remove.

Hope I Helped:)

soo i got new bangs and changed up my look to look pretty but i have a mustache and a unibrow (no more unibrow shaved off) frizzy hair but my good points are that my eyes are pretty and stuff i want 2 impress someone wat can i do 2 look really pretty but nothing 2 drastic?

I hope some of these suggestions will help.
-For your unibrow:
DONT shave it! it will grow back faster, darker, and
thicker. Stick with plucking them - or if you want to get them professionally, then you can go to a spa and they will wax it for you (you will have to do this once a month), but the waxing will cost more money.
If you want to make it more fun, then go with a friend.

-For your mustache:
You could bleach it, but the roots will grow back,
go to a spa every month and get it waxed, or pluck the parts that look unbearable.

-For your frizzy hair:
When you are in the shower then use shampoo as normal, then put in conditioner (make sure its separate, not 2 in 1) and leave it in for 2-4 minutes. It helps if you take a brush in the shower with you and brush your hair while the conditioner is in. When you get out of the shower, then rub your hair dry with a towel, DONT bundle it up, that with make it frizzy, once it stops dripping, then put some anti-frizz serum or leave in conditioner in your hair (while its still damp)

http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/93462/200.jpg

http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/L10400296.jpg

(anyone of those)

then blow dry your hair, with a brush so it doesn't frizz out.

i hope those answers helped and good luck getting that someones attention!

i have bangs but theyre not pretty i wanna style them but they always split and get oily PEOPLE HELP!!! i dont wanna embarass myself at school all the time please write back!!!!♥♥

i have the same problem! but not to worry.
for the split bangs just get a clip, hold your bangs to the side and clip them up, then leave them for 3-5 days, depending on how well your hair adjusts.
for the oily thing...its most likely that you have an oily forehead. you can either wash your bangs every day, or in the morning put an oil free moisturizer on your forehead then apply cover-up...bring the cover-up to school to reapply at lunch and recess, and you should be ok.
hope i helped:)

I saw somebody wearing a pair of boots today that I really liked, but I couldn't tell where they were from. The logo was a little triangle with a round door shape cut out in it-- almost like a teepee or cave. Anybody have any idea what brand this is?

I'm also looking for any suggestions to where I can find boots-- they don't necessarily have to be practical. I want something maybe with buckles or laces, the kind of boots you can tuck into jeans. My budget is $100.

TIA

for your first question: yes they are airwalk

second question: here are some boots that are nice:
