Alright, so school pictures are coming up this Friday and I was thinking about getting hair extentions. Please, only answer this if you've had extentions before, or if your a hairdresser or something and know what you're talking about. Anyway, about how much does it cost?, About how long does it take?, Is it bad for your hair?, How long do they usually stay in?, Can I straighten my hair?, Will they change the texture/poofiness/wavyness of my hair? And just tell me anything else you think I'll need to know.
It if helps, my hair is about 2 inches past my shoulder, I straighten it just about everyday, scrunch it occasionally, its kinda poofy and wavy, and I have layers but they're kinda long layers.

Thank you soo muchh!! Please help!

Hey! I have actually had hair extensions on and off for about 2 years! But anyways.. as for cost... it totally depends on the place! I have got mine for as cheap as $100.. but they can cost up to $1,000! your best bet.. look online for local salons that offer extensions and see! also... ask around.. maybe someone you know knows how to do them! (the braided kind!) extensions are becoming more and more popular... so more people are learning how to do them! i acutally have a friend who does mine now! it takes a long time! but depending on how thick and how long you want it! anywhere from 2-4 hours! it sucks.. and it hurts a little bit... but are ever so worth it! :) you can style, straighten, curl or do whatever you want to your hair.. as long as you buy the human hair ones... the synthetic ones look ratty anyways. the human hair ones are a little more spendy.. but look 100% authentic! as for staying in... again.. it depends on the kind you get... if you get them bonded ones (which are around 600) you can keep getting them tightned.. and they can last for months... but i usually change my extensions every 1.5/2 months... by that point.. they kinda start looking matted.. and look just gross! :p so yeah... hope i helped... let me know if you have any more questions hun! good luck!

Everyone says American Eagle is the best store, but personally I hate it. All of their t-shirts are basically the same things with different words and colors. A lot of their clothes are really bad quality. I bought a cami from there once and I only wore it once and a HUGE hole ripped and I wasn't even running around or anything. It may be a little cheaper then Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister, but atleast if you buy something from A&F or Hollister, you know the clothes are going to last. American Eagle's clothes arn't the most attractive things, and they look cheap. What do you think about AE?

shitty! their clothes are so boring and basic! even hollister's clothes are cheap and middle schoolish... abercrombie is the way to go!

Me and this guy have been seriously talking latley. We hang out, go to the movies, and flirt a ton. The thing is i am 17 and he is 32, and people seem to have a problem with that. We havent done ANYTHING that can get any of us in trouble, so whats the big deal? Besides, i will be 18 in 2 months.

older men are the hottest... plus he most likley has a job which = $$$! so he can spoil you! lOl! no seriosuly... if you like him.. then go for it.. i know most people will probbaly be like... dont do it... hes to old! but really age is just a number.. and that shouldnt get in the way of lOvE! ;) just be careful! bUt yEEAH! go for it! lOl! good lUck hUn!

i'm very open about sex. i mean i love it. i have had sex with a lot of guys. i'm clean i know i am i randomly get tested. but i'm in high school. senior year. i hang out with older guys that have seen girls do some crazy ass things. and i love doing crazy ass things. sex is like my life. i like trying new things and everything. but my problem is everyone that meets me or hears about me freaks calls me a slut and all that (the high school girls) i just blow it off and say there jealous bC there not brave enough to try all the new shit...but i've been thinking i talked to a close friend of mine last nighta bout this. i don't think i'm lesbian but i wanna try things with a girl just to try it and say i have. i told him that i wanted to eat a girl out just to see how it was. he says he has seen lots of girls do it..PROBLEM i'm in high school. shit like that gets around i'll be called gay. so my question is. what do you think i should do. go for it and try something with a girl or just wait till i graduate and not have to worry about roomers and bull crap??

well no one has to find out anything... if the girl and you don't even say anything! just tell her to keep her mouth shut... unless like you said you wanna do stuff with her just to say you have.... then why does it matter if people find out if your gonna tell people anyways... i am really confused on this question....?! i'm assuming your grad. is soon 2... so whateever.. your not gonna see alot of these people again ever anyways... sOOo yEEAH...

I don't think there's enough questions on advicenators that mention abortions. I assume there's more females on this site then males, so why does it seem like there are mainly pro-life supporters? We're women. Women with so many choices and laws that allow us those choices. I agree in having your own opinion, but never force it onto someone else. If someone is considering an abortion, why talk them out of it, bringing it up as a sin and disgusting? I'm proud to be pro-choice & you'd think nowadays more women would be. Why aren't you?

i agree.... women should have the right to choose! sorry... if anyone gets pissed at this... but if someone isnt ready for a baby.... i think they have a right to choose... i'm not saying its right... but people make mistakes and babys are alot of work, time and money.

How do you know if a XO handbag is fake/real?

well i think they are all real since they are pretty cheap anyways! usually an XO purse ranges from $30-$50 so why would they need to be fake?! they are suuper cheap anyways!

i picked this out to show a girl how much i care what do you think?

I'm not sure if you know or not
But I really do love you a lot.
You still hold a special place in my heart
And you did, right from the start.
But when he came along and took your breath away,
I was devastated and didn't know what to say.
I spend my nights crying, time after time,
I spent my days lying, saying I was fine.
Little did you know, my heart was crushed inside,
And on that day, a little of me died.
But with her, you look so in love
'Cause you are an angel from above.
I now have to teach my heart to move on,
For, you are now forever gone.
But about one thing I am unsure:
Why it can't be me, and not him?

oMG! guys dont rezalize how much girls like that kidn of stuff! you are such a sweetie! i wish more guys would do that! awww... its soOo adoRabLe!

I always worry when I'm home alone. Like I always think the worst. I don't know if there's something wrong with me or what but I am always thinking of what would happen if robbers broke in. I just know I would pass out. Because I know if I hear something in the house I will get real nervous and start to feel like I am gonna faint. Could their be something wrong with me? Or is it just all in my mind?

hey! oMg! i totally used to be the same way! i would convicne myslef... that since i was alone.. nobody could protect me.. and that there was somebody hiding in my basement! everybody gets scared! especailly when they are alone.. because you feel less protected and more vulnerable! when yor alone... just do things to distract you! talk on the phone, go on the computer and even if your not watching, have the tv on the whole time! leave all the lights on too! and also if you can... try inviting friends over! there is nothing wroing with you! you just get scared easliy like me! your thinking to much and thinking of the worst! good luck hUn!

Alright, so on New Years Eve, me and my boyfriend[of 3 years :)] were in the shower together, and he put his penis inside of me, but im not on birth control yet, and he wasn't wearing a condom. So, like he started thrusting, and like it wasn't a long time at all, probably not even 3 minutes, but he pulled out. But I'm not sure if he got sperm in me, and i'm really nervous that I am going to get pregnant. We have had sex before, but every time he uses a condom. Is there any way i could tell if i am pregnant other than a pregnancy test? And if i have to use a pregnancy test, how long should i wait to go buy one? Please everyone answer, I need all the help I can get. Thanks So Much! ♥

if your totally worried about being pregnent.. get the morning after pill! it is effective up to 72 hours after.. so i dont know if that still applies! um the most accurate way to test for pregnancy is to wait until after your period is due. All pregnancy tests on the market will pick show a positive result, a higher percentage of the time, if you wait until this point. also you should see a doctor!
