im looking for a new job because i work at a drycleaners and its not worth what im being paid so was wondering:

1. where do you work?
2. how much does it pay?

Thanks! (link)
i work as a receptionist at a hair salon. i dont know how old you are, but they start hiring about 16. it is really fun, if your into that kind of stuff. i get $8.75 an hour, i dont know what minimum wage is in your state, but here it is about $8 i think. good luck finding a job!


alright so my hair was never like this before so its not like i was born with natural frizzy hair.. but like i started scrunching my hair with gel and now my hair is kinda frizzy and like.. i cant keep my hair down without putting something in it because it will get really frizzy.. what can/should i do to make my hair go back to being nice? (link)
you are probably casuing breakage in your hair when your scrunching it. try using a different scrunching gel (i like curls rocks by tigi) and to get rid of frizziness i would get a deep conditioning treatment, if you dont want to spend the money for one at a salon (about $30, depending on which salon) then you can buy a deep conditioner at a drug store. also you can buy anti frizz serums (i like after party by bed head) or pomades and waxes to smooth the frizz down


i want the died colour out of my hair, is there any way that I can get it out and keep my natural colour WITHOUT bleaching it?? If there is a product at a drugstore please dont say Walgreens as i live in Canada. Thanks:) (link)
dial soap will really help to strip the color out of your hair. just make sure you use a lot of conditioner afterwards.


when i straighten my hair they top always has a bunch of flyaways. is there any product to eliminate this frizzy stuff? (link)
I use bed heads "after party" its in a pink bottle, sold at salons, and most drugstores. i also use bed heads "manipulater" its a pomade wax kinda thing, you just need a little bit and it gives your hair texture too, also at salons and drugstores. also buy a straight balm (i use wio straight balm by framesi, you can only get it at certain salons or online) other products are Tigi S Factors "smoothing lusterizer" found at salons or online. It also might be cus your straightner is too hot and you are damaging you hair really bad, if thats the case, look into getting a new straightner, the nicer ones are more expensive, but worth it in the end:) sorry i work at a salon so im obsessed with hair stuff. the bed head stuff will be cheapest.


my hair has been greasy in the roots and uner-layers for a few months now.
it's making me mad because i now have to limilt the way i wear my hair so people don't see the grease.
it was never like that before.
i don't remember how i washed it before but now i wash it about 5-6 times a week and i scrub the shampoo on parts of my scalp, not my actual hair.
i don't know what to do !?

SO IM ASKING..

is their a proper way to wash your hair ?
where should you put the shampoo exactly ?
how long should you keep it in there for ?
what temperture of water should you use ?
how long should you rinse for ?
how long should the total shower take ?
should you put the shampoo on your actual hair or just the scalp ?
what shampoo should i use ?

haha, sorry i went a little over-board with the questions. you don't have to answer all of them. i am just curious to know how you wash your hair & what i should do.


THANKS !

Make sure your hair is completely wet before you put the shampoo in your hair, becuase it needs the water to get all of the shampoo bubbling and working, massage your scalp with the shampoo and make sure you get all of it rinsed out when your done. Dont put conditioner on your scalp, it only needs to go on the length of your hair and on focused on the tips of your hair. make sure all the conditioner is washed out too. Temperature of the water wont effect greasiness of your hair, but cold water is better for your hair. It should take about 5-7 minutues for your hair, how long the rest of the shower takes depends on you. it also depends on how long your hair is. I work at a hair salon and so i use the shampoo we use there. Its by a salon brand called Framesi, and its called shine in. You can only find framesi products in certain salons. Any salon should be able to give you advie on what shampoo to use. If you dont want to buy salon price shampoo, i would say use pantene pro v or dove. good luck:)


I have curly hair that is just at my shoulders when it's curly, and it is two inches past my shoulders when I straighten it.

I am really into big hair.I have very short layers in the back that i like to tease, but does anyone have any personal tips on how to make hair bigger at the top by teasing it?

Also, for when I wear my hair curly (i have loose wavy barrel curls), what are some ways to make it bigger, and more nice looking, not always messy. (link)
i work at a hair salon and i love big hair. i have tried many ways of trying to get my hair big, and the best way to do it is by teasing it. the way i do it is i brush my hair back about midway of my part, and ill take thin secitons of my hair at a time, spray it a little with some hairspray and backcomb using a teasing comb, so that till its as big as you want,m then lightly comb over it to make it look smooth, and spray some more on top, i like to put a thin headband in front of it. the best volumizing product that i have used is Queen for a day, Superstar (by bed head), and eufora volumizing spray. you can find the bed head stuff at most salons or drug stores, and the eufora stuff if only found at some salons, but its worth it if you can find it.


i know that in africa and places with little tribes girl marry young, like at 13yrs old, is this when they start having children too? just wondering i know its a totally random question. (link)
yeah, what ive heard is pretty much once they get their period they are ready to have babies, so they get married to have babies. but thats just what ive heard.


I have a problem, and my problem is my hair. It is WICKED frizzy, but when I tell people that they're like well mine's worse. HAHAHA I laugh at them because no one's hair is worse than mine. I can barely get a comb through it without tearing up and rip atleast 30 hairs out daily, unless I use my flat iron. My hair looks like someone electricuted me and then decided hell, let's give it another go. So I need help. Can anyone tell me what kinds of products they've tried that work really well (like creams and such) and also, what is the best flat iron out there (doesn't matter if it's $100-$800, let me know) I have a Vidal Sassoon one with the ceramic plates it works really good, but I want one that works even better. Thankyou guys so much, any advice that's given will be rewarded ;) (link)
used to have horrible frizzy hair. and everyone always told me not to brush it but i never belived them. but i finally tried just combing my hair through with my fingers instead of brushing it and it actraully makes a huge difference, and i barely have any frizz at all anymore. straightening your hair also makes it brake which could cuase more frizz. try using a ceramic one cus its less damaging. and try frizz ease hair serum that you could get at any drugstore. i hope i was able to help a little!


i don't get what pushup bras are. like i know they make your boobs look bigger, but when i saw a picture of them, they just looked like normal bras. i know there're like sports bras and normal bras, and they just looked like normal bras. are there two diff types of bras that look like normal bras, or are they the normal bras?? (link)
push up bras just push your boobs up to give you more clevage, but they're still just normal bras.


Me and my 2 friends are all 13, and were going to the mall on saturday alone, like without a parent or nething. We all are probbly going 2 go into JC Penney's and get push-up bras lol so i was wondering if stores alow young people (like minors) to buy push up bras without an adult or older person there. (link)
oh yeah definatly hah dont worry about it you'll be aloud to


Does anybody know of any good (and relatively cheap) hippy/indie/foreign/african/indian clothing stores or even street fairs in the Boston area? thanks. (link)
i dont know about the boston area cus im from seattle. but ive found that you can find them in street markets and stuff. and any kind of festival or parade they usually have vendors who sell stuff like that. also if you just search around they'rre everywhere. if not, theres a ton on the internet. theres the happy hippy website, and a lot of other ones too, just google it. or you could your own clothes, thats always fun too :]


17/f.

My friends birthday is on monday and she's turning 18. They all want to go to a hooka bar. She said you don't have to do it, its just fun going down and watching people do it.

I've never been to a hooka bar so I don't know much about it. I know what it is, but is it bad for you? Also, I don't know if my parents will be up for it so how do I tell them. If I go I probably won't do it anyways but my parents won't believe me probably. And anyways, I'm unsure about going. How old do you have to be to go? How old do you have to be to do it? Is it bad for you? What should I tell my parents? (link)
the age that your aloud to do it is differnet in all areas, here i think you only have to be 15 or 16. but its pretty much just flavored smoke and tobacco. smoking anything is never good for you, but its not bad for you like smoking a cigarette. try it only if you want to though, you shouldnt try something you think you'll regret later


People tell me I have a reasonabley good voice but I want to make it really good. What exercises can I do to make it stronger cos at the moment I hit a high note and my voice sort of totally disappears. It's real weird! (link)
just do lots of different warm ups, and go up the scale as far as possible, if you keep doing that, you'll be able to hit that high note without it dissapearing, its just cus your voice is not trained to be that high yet, but you can definatly hit it good with time and practice


Please answer only if you have experince in ballet or know someone who does...
I am a female, age 14, and I weigh 140lbs (about). Do you think I am too fat to do pointe work? Am I too fat to have a partner? What can I do to ensure that I will be able to start pointe in the fall? (I have to please my teacher and it is totally her choice wether or not I can take pointe) Do you think I need to loose weight for this? Thank you so much
(link)
no. i have danced for about 6 years now and i know people that weigh more then you that do pointe. you might want to lose a few pounds, but you're fine if you dont. the dancing itself will help you to lose weight also.


I just asked a question earlier today about my white & light brown chihuahua. Here are the two names I have chosen.

Is it more apropriate to tell a guy your home phnoe nummber or your cell phone number? (link)
definatly tell him your cell phone number, then when you guys get closer or get to know eachtoehr better then give him your home number


My friend is doing drugs a lot. She smokes weed every day and does ecstacy a few times a week. I have talked to her about it a lot, and she's not going to change. I don't know if I should tell her mom or do something else. So what should I do? (link)
if you tell her mom you could completely lose your friends trust, and the friendship would never be the same. if you think its in such a horrible possision that you have to then, then go ahead. weed wont kill her, but if shes doing ecstacy that much, it can be really bad, i know someone who got addictied and he has 3 holes in his brain now. ithink you need to seriosuly talk to her, and dont just tell her "you need to stop" but just hear what she has to say, and do whatever you think is right, sorry thats the best i can tell you

I've heard that if you get a sunburn, and you put sunscreen on wherever you got sunburned, it makes your sunburn turn into a tan. I've tried that before and it never worked.

My question is: is there any way to make a sunburn turn into a tan? Are there any special things to use? How long does it take to work?

Thank you! (link)
just put a lot of loation on. aloe vera lotion is good, and also thers a banana boat after sun loation you can get at the drug store and its ment to go on after your in the sun to make tan last longer and heal burns. but burn naturally turns to tan, just put loation on so it wont peal
