hey can anyone give me some advice on how to have my hair wavy without using a curling iron cuz they never seem to work and too long to do. thanks everyone! (link)
put some light gel or moosee in your hands and out a few drops of water on it to make it not sticky. rub your hands together and then run it through your hair evenly. squeeze your hair; its really called scrunching, starting from the ends. if your hair is thick dont scrunch close to your roots or that will make your hair too poofy!! also if you have no curl or wave whatsoever in your hair, like if it is STICK straight, then this probably wont work. you will have to use a curling iron for stick straight hair! sorry! if you do descide to scrunch it, wash your hair good to get rid of all traces of gel or moosee, if you descide to curl it with a curling iron, then use something, such as leave in conditioner, heat protector so you dont scorh your hair! hope i helped ya and good luck on your hair!


well im about to turn 14 and i have a low self esteem really low and i try to be all happy and wut not but its hard and i talked to my best friend about it and he was like totaly insoulting me and telling me im a idiot for thinking the way i do and wut not.and i dont like the way i look at all but imn thankful 4 wut i do have and im am really shy and i dont think i can go on with life like this cause all i practicly do is put myslef down and now its like part of me and im trying to lose that but its like im alwayz putting myself down for some reason and i feel like if im the worst person in the world and i dunno wut do anymore plz help! (link)
oh my gosh it sounds like you are depressed. i have depression. it can affect your whole like, it even makes you feel like to cry all the time for no reason and it makes you irritated alot and you are always sad no matter what usually. i went to my doctor and he gave me medicene for me. it compleyly changed my life around! im not neary as sad anymore and im not as tired and dont really get irriated anymore. depression sometimes makes you tired. i really think that you should go to the doctor. tell him about how you are feeling and that you think that you have depression. they treat depression with medicene, concealing, or both. and make sure that if he gived you medicene, tell him that you dont want something that is really strong, can make you dizzy, or has a ton of side effects. i use a low dose of zoloft and it works so good for me. your friend i think was just trying to tell you that it is really bad to think of your self that way even though you probably cannot help it. and if he is still being a jerk than dump him. you shouldnt stick around with him if he treats you like dirt and makes you unhappy. and i have one more tip: do something that makes you happy! also hang around with people that make you feel good about your self and who love you; dont hang around with people that make you feel miserable. if you need any more help just ask me! hope i helped you alot and i REALLY REALLY hope that you feel better!!!


oK.... so this isnt the hottest thing in the world...but my hair smells sometimes even though I wash it everyday. ne shampoos or ne thing that would help me out? thanx (link)
use a good smelling leave in condioner like thermasilk or herbal essences. the good smell stays in like the whole day because you dont wash it out as would would for shampoo and condiotioner. it also improves your hair and protects it from heat styling!


does anyone have any good ideas on how to make ur hair look shiny and be soft (link)
u should use thermasilk leave in conditioner! it smells so good, detangles, and it also is heat activated so that means that it protects your hair from heat and makes it shiny and soft and manigible when you heat style it.


I need help. I need to look for an article about something that's going on in the world (the war in iraq, etc) So I can write a summary and present it to my class. Thing is I just dont know what article to use. I was going to do Iraq, but I already know thats what everyone's gonna do. Do you guys know any good online articles maybe from CNN.com or something else that are intresting and have to do with a country besides the U.S.? Thanks! (oo and articles can be up to 3 months old) I rate:) (link)
you should go to msnbc.com. it is a really good website to find articles!


ok my friend jessica has a HORRIBLE problem! she never stops sweating. even shes sitting down shes sweating. People usually sweat when there hot or doing physical activity but she sweats when shes sitting on the couch and watching tv. she was too embarased to ask this question online so i told her that i would do it for her (ima good friend lol) shes tried ALL diff deoderants and NOTHING can stop it. its only under arm sweating and its gotten so bad. please help her! thanks!

signed..
trying to help a friend! (link)
ive tried every deordorent: i have that same prob only not as bad! i tried arm and hammer, secret platinum, and teen and none of those worked:(. lol. i finally found one that works so good even when i am doing hard work i never get sweat stains or nething. its called dri idea and you can get it almost anywhere i think and its about 3.50 i think. hope i helped your friend! and if that doesnt work then if its like REALLY bad its unormal than she should see a doctor. something could be wrong if she is sweating like really really really really really bad!


Um, like my period started today and it usually lasts 5 days which means its last day wil be on Tuesday... the first day of school!... so like I was wondering if you all knew anything that could shorten it by like just a day... for example things I could do n such. Thanks (link)
i dont think that you can really shorten it but going on birth control( you get it from your doctor) can stop your period!


I wanna b the student concil rep. for my class in seventh grade...how can i win soo peeps will vote for me.....(and i am shy around the popular kids) (link)
everyone likes a really nice person so go out of your way to make people feel good but dont sound to nice. also try to be outgoing! if you are going to b e shy than the people will think that you wont be good enough for the job! and remember to tell people to vote for you. im sure all your friends will!


Okay I have acne. Not that bad. And i would love to clear it up b4 school starts which is 8 days away. what can I do to clear the acne. Is there anything that actually works in 8 dayds or less. please I need to get rid of this acneee... (link)
well since you dont want it to be visble for the first day of school probably lol i dont think that you should use a mask. i mean masks are really good for your face its just that they bring all the zits out before they clear them up so its bad for right before school. for the bigger zits you should use neutrogena acne patchs. i recommened them to a lot of other people because they work so well and so fast. they reduce redness and size or make the zit go away in one night! after 3-5 nights it should be gone!! and for the littler zits make sure to use a good spot treatment( i like neutrogena on-the-spot treatment) 2 times a day if you have stubborn acne that never goes away like me! make sure you wash your face correctly with a gentle cleanser for your skin type. if you are wondering what correctly means: splash your face with warm but not hot water and then lather up your cleaner. genlty massage your cleaner into your face for about 10 seconds. rince with warm water for 4 splashs. if you were wearing foundation or powder or whatever that day then repeat. also make sure to drink 10 glasses of water!!! water washes out the toxins from your skin and also hydrates it. and whatever you do, dont try any home made remidies because you never know. you might be allergic to whatever is in it or it simply might just make your skin worse! i did hear though, that putting hydrogen peroxide on you face for a few minutes with a cotton swab really works because it is made to kill bacteria and thats what a pimple is basically. oh and i just remembered! neutrogena rapid clear acne eliminating gel says it reduces redness, size, or makes the zit go away in 8 hours! i think it would work because neutrogena is a very reliable brand and is also dermataogist recommened! i also use a lot of their products such as the rapid clear cleaner( works wonders for oily skin!) and their mask and stuff. im really really really sorry this is so long amd will take FOREVER to read its just that i want to try to help you as much as you can! if you want any more help just go to my advice colum!! good luck!!!!:)


whats a viborater and how do you use it? (link)
im really sorry but i dont know what a vibrator is!


i have lots of black heads on my nose..nd well i guess its like dry skin?...or maybe dry puss...nd wen the little white stuff sticks out from the skin in my nose...i pull it out wit tweazers!..nd well it leaves like wholes in my nose!..please help me!!..or if so..can u im me?!....princessmoe2o9 (link)
biore has a new line of things such as a blackhead clearing scrub and stuff. i really like the biore deep cleansing strips because the pull the blackheads right out. and the white stuff that is sticking out from your nose is probably a whitehead. dont pick it because that would spread bacteria and cause you to break out more! i also recommend the blackhead scrub or cleanser from neutrogena. i have had good luck with neutrogena and they have hight quality products. if you have sensitive skin though you shouldnt use a scrub because it might irritate your skin and cause you to get more blackheads. so this is what i think would be good:

neutrogena blackhead clearing scrub or cleaner
or
biore new blackhead scrub. (both work good just choose the brand that works best for you)
and
biore deep cleansing strips
those are a must for blackheads! lol! good luck and i really hopes that i helped you!


okay i like this guy and he likes me. well the other day he asked me out and i said yes but 2 days after, were already broken up ! he said he needs to get to know me better and i totally agree no hard feelings there but what i dont get is why cant we get to know each other by going out? i asked y he even bothered to ask me out if he felt like that nd he said "i wanted to at the time, but i think i wanna get to know you better" or does he not want to go out and thats why he said that, but like after that hes like i still like u but i jus wanna get to know u better maybe wen school starts. and the day after i seen him at the movies and i waved and smiled--so did he and i knew i liked him alot. do you think we eventually will go back out ? or do you think he jus doesnt like me even though he said he did .. (link)
yes i think he likes you. He was the one who asked you out in the first . he also waved and smiled at you at the movies. if he didnt like you he wouldnt do that. i think that he wants to get to know you boefore he goes out with you so he gets to be a better friend with you and then he will ask you out. i dont think that he wants to go out with a complete stranger to him because that would be uncomfortable. just wait. i really think that after he gets to know who you are he will ask you out! again!


I have almost clear skin, but I get really large zits ever so often, and i try so hard i use everything to get rid of them, i even have proactiv but sometimes it doesnt work too well. Is there anything, (ive tried the clean and clear stuff in the silver bottle) that works good for getting rid of somthing that big before it takes over my facee!!!=(


(link)
since you dont really have acne you just get a few really big zits then neutrogena acne patchs are perfect for you! ive recommened them to a lot of people on my advice colum because they work so well and fast on those people who only get big zits. you just put the patch on overnight and when you wake up its a lot less red, smaller or gone!


what is face astringent? (link)
astringent is this liquid that you put on a cotton ball or whatever that deep cleans your skin and gets rid of dirt and oil. you use it after you wash your face.


Ok i have Black heads... they are like HUGE pores... does anyone know how to get rid of black heads.. the thing i did was pop them... but there is to many! any suggestons..

i rate.. (link)
try biore strips. they pull the blackheads right out! also try neutrogena blackheads eliminating line. it works really good. they have a blackhead cleaner, astringent, and mask.


what r some ways to get rid of cramps (link)
1. take a pain reliever such as tylonal. it helps so much!
2. exercise! you probably think that i will make your cramps worse but after a few minutes it makes you feel so much better!
3. aviod salty foods
4. take a hot bath.
5. if your cramps are really really really bad then you should see your doctor. he might give you something stronger that will help.


Me and My boyfriend have been going out for awhile but we haven't seen eachother sence we started going out because I had cheerleading and he had football..we talk on the phone all the time but I wanna do something together with him..should I just ask him one day on the phone to do something or wait till he asks me? (link)
ask him... if you wait for him to ask you he might be shy and he might never ask. you have to go for it!


does anyone know of any good websites with aim icons that are cute...not the dolls or original gay ones but cute ones?? (link)
www.iconator.com is really cool. it doesnt just have dolls and it has a search thing. you can just type in what you want and they will most likely have it!
