Q: hi, I want to get back to my natural hair color. I've highlighted it about three times. I found this website

http://www.ehow.com/how_2174200_dyed-hair-back-natural-hair.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art

and wonder if it would severely damaged my hair if I tried it? I don't think so, but I'm just wondering. Thanks!

hey =] im a cosmetologist, and i would recomend getting it professionaly done since you have highlights on your hair. not EVERYTHING is EXTREMLY damaging to your hair. highlighting your hair is actually worse then coloring it. & then just buy some deep conditioner from your local salon!

Q: for a girl, if you have sex, does your vagina stretch and stay that way, or do you have to have sex a lot. because ive heard my friends quote guys that say they get no pleasure of some girls because theyre so loose. is that true?

if a girl has sex alot it is possible to get loose but insanely loose. think of it this way, when a girl has a baby it streches alot but it doesnt stay that way. it will go back to almost normal!

Q: okay i KNOW tanning can cause cancer so don't bother telling me this because i know all the risks of tanning..i'm italian and i don't burn at all and i was wondering if i was to go tanning 6 days a week and go for 20 minute sessions how dark would i get? my natural skin color is like this ->http://media.photobucket.com/image/nikki%20reed/rafaelacarvalho/Twilight/MV5BMTIzMDM5MjY4NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTY.jpg?o=18

but i would like to be this color ->http://media.photobucket.com/image/adriana%20lima/adrianalima_2009/Adriana_Lima_08040004.jpg?o=24

how much and how long would i have to tan to get that color?

you should deffintily not go that offten. go like 3 or 4 times a week for maybe 13 min sessions. and use tanning lotion.

Q: so does shaving/plucking really let more hair grow back worse?

hey, im studying to be a cosmetologist and i JUST learned this! no that is just a myth the only reason its seems more with shaving is because the hair is all growing back at one length so it makes it seem fuller. but its just a myth =]

Q: My hair gets greasy quite easily. Its always gross by the time I get home from school, and its starting to become a huge pain.

I do wash my hair everyday (I've tried the every other day thing, but my hair gets to gross to even be in a pony tail)

Any products or home remedies to help me out?
I wanna get through a full day with clean hair!

hey, im studying to be a cosmetologist. try a clarying shampoo! they are made for product build up AND oily hair! honestly you shouldnt shampoo your hair with this everyday but dont buy a moistureing shampoo. & try not to touch your hair often the oils from your hands will just rub onto your hair. good luck!

Q: 17/f

Should I change my hair?

My hair is currently long and usually straight. It is light blonde (not quite platinum) with dark brown underneath and hot pink extensions. I have a cool skin tone (warm colors look awful on me).

I am considering:

- dark brown color all over
- long platinum streaks in the front underneath area
- hot pink extensions beside the platinum
- blunt bangs (straight across my forehead)

Would you suggest that? I am worried that I will regret the decision. I do not want to blend into the crowd or look tired/dull. I was naturally blonde for many years but my hair is now a dull, mousey brown.

that would look AWESOME!

Q: heyyy i didnt no were too put this question so i just put it anywere

ive got short hair lol and im i realy need my hair too grow in like 2months is there any thing i can use too soo my hair grows?

Hey, im studying to be a cosmetologist. there is nothing(expect for rogain) that is clinically proven to make your hair grow. average hair grows about 1/2 inch a month. Good Shampoo and conditioners will only help your hair from breaking. protien is good for you and MAY make your hair stronger & vitiams are a really good idea for hair and nails. try fish oil. good luck!

Q: So my hair is really curly and almost down to my elbows, and it's dark brown, with longer layers. I straighten my hair almost every day, otherwise it looks really bad. The problem is, I have really bad split ends. I just got my hair cut and asked for the dead ends to be cut off, but she didn't get all of them! So now my mom won't let me get my hair cut again for awhile. My hair gets really dull and still and dry when I'm out in the winter air, which makes it worse. The main products I have are:
-BedHead Light Me Up! Blow Dryer
http://img.nextag.com/image/Tigi-Hair-Care-TIGI/1/000/006/046/471/604647105.jpg
-BedHead Control Freak Shampoo and Conditioner
http://clipsncuts.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/Picture_503.220150757_std.jpg
-Forever... Her Styler Straightening Iron
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2BzEvtKDdL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
-Victoria's Secret So Sexy Straightening Balm
http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/tmblg3/V267847.jpg
-Coconut Milk Split Ends Mender
http://www.prweb.com/prfiles/2008/03/06/278767/OrganixCoconutSplitEndsMender.jpg
-And a couple other things like flexible hold hairspray, de-frizz serum, wide tooth comb, paddle brush, etc.
So can anyone tell me what I can do about my hair? Please, I really need some help! Thanks so much!

hey, im studying to be a cosmetologist. I'm the same way! Dont blow dry your hair everytime that you shampoo it & with that said DONT shampoo it everyday. try every other day. shampoo might be one reason why your hair is feeling so dry! & yes the oil thing does work, i use extra virgin olive oil once a month on my hair. You may also want to try some deep condtioners or recontructioners. for example, redken CAT protien spray or joico deep penatrating condtioner. Next time that you do get your hair try to get all your dead ends cut off and make sure that you go to someone who knows what they are doing. & im serious about the air drying and not shampoo everyday. honestly it will help. good luck!

Q: Okay sorry this is so long....

ight....my name is sarah,im white and im 15...i date this boy named brandon,hes black and hes 17 and i just turned 15 in march and hes about to turn 18 in may...well we been dateing since march 24th-2007 and when we were on the phone he said babe are you ready to fuck me and i told him no because im still a virgin and we only been goin out for 2 weeks.He said i better set a date or its over.So i told him ill be ready friday.Well we just started talking and he was like babe i got somethin to tell you but i wanna say it to your face but I LOVE YOU!!so i said i love you too.WEll he always tells me well be together forever no matter what.Well all my friends tell me were rushing but i never felt this way about a guy befor in my life.I just dont no what to do because my plan was to brake up with him thursday because im not ready to fuck him yet.Hes everything i ever wanted in a guy.The only thing is he wont wait until im ready.and everytime he says i love you and he blows kisses in the phone and always calls me baby...well when ever i hear his say that stuff to me its like i cry all over again and i just dont no what to do with him...
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if he really loved you he would wait until your ready. im sorry to this but it seems like hes using you.

Q: so.. basically.

im 13. turning 14. and i have been thinking alot about sex, but i dont want to yet.
and i tend to like guys alot older then me.

so.. [3] queations.
1) How old were you?
2) Do you regret it?
3) Did it hurt?

i was 13 when i lost mine. i was not going out with the boy but i thought i was in love, but i wasnt. i now have a wonderful boyfriend of 6 months who i am madly in love with & i wish i would have waited and lost my virginity to my boyfriend. it hurt alittle but no so bad. hope i helped =]

Q: where can i buy a chi straightener?

you can buy a chi at ulta. If you have a cosmotoligist lisence then you can buy one at ace bueaty supply for cheaper. thats were i got mine and it works wonders =]

Q: I have thought about having sex with my boyfriend!!! but then it seems like it would hurt really badly!!! so what can I do just to keep it from just being so painful!!!

Plz help me!!!
Signed Helpless!!!

my first time didnt hurt that bad because right before we had sex the guy fingered me so it wouldnt hurt as bad. tell your boy friend to go really slow and it wont hurt that bad. and remember, after like a minute it will feel great =]

Q: Is there a particular reason why Hebal Essence and Panteen bad for the hair?

yes. the cemicals in the shampoo's are damageing. they burn your hair. ive had professionals tell me. they said they have seen people who lost 25 precent of their hair using those shampoo's. oh and V05 is also VERY bad for your hair.

Q: my hair is a medium brown color. i have been trying to dye it medium blonde with very blonde highlights, but it either turns out a brassy dark red or stays the same. how on earth do i get my hair the blonde i want without using bleach which will dry out my hair wayyy toooo mucchchhh? should i get it professionally done?

YOU CAN NOT DIE IT FROM DARK TO LIGHT!!!! it just wont work. you have to decolorize it. beleive me ive had to do it before. i suggest you get it professionaly done if you dont want to mess your hair up more

Q: Ok,well today,i took a bath,shampoo'd and conditioned my hair,then put this serum that stops split ends.but recently (every once in a while) i've noticed my hair has been falling out.a couple of mintues ago,after my hair was dry (by the air) i put it to the side and combed through it with my fingers.i got about 10 strands of hair! i was so scared!!! my sister's hair fell out,but thats probably only because she dyed it so much.no one else in this family has had this happen!should i worry and go to the doctor,or is this normal?!

you are going to loose about 100 hairs a day. but it could also be the shampoo you are using. herbel essance and panteene are VERY bad for your hair. try using biosilk or tresemme for dry or damaged hair. and also wash your hair every other day because shampoo isnt too good for your hair.

Q: alright so im one of those girls who LOVES to always wear their hair up..well lately ive really been wanting to wear my hair down b.c i want to get this one guys attetion..but yah but when i put it down its always too wavy or curly!! how do i make it so it will look like normal down?! thanks!! i will rate!!

you can take gell and hair spray and like scrunch it and it will look curly or you can buy a straightening iron. at CVS they have to really good one by conair for only 25 dollors or if you want to go for the expensive ones get the chi its like 120$ but its amazing i use it and its ionic so it doesnt damage your hair as much. and go to a beauty place and get spray for protection of heat. i use " silk elements MEGA SILK" its only 6$ at "sallys"

Q: I am a guy 5'6 and in 7th grade 3rd marking period. Is that tall for my age? And does anyone know if I will stop growing or not? I heard guys stop in highschool( middle)

everyone is different. but must girls like me think tall guys are hot=]

Q: my guy friend..(not boyfriend) wants to finger me tonight..im nervous..i dont know how to prepare myself..any suggestions?
(my first time)
