Well, I'm african-american and I have permed hair. Meaning, it's straight. I usually get my hair done professionally, but when I go swimming it's usually on a vacation and my stylist isn't there. After I blow-dry my hair and flat-iron it, it's straight, but still really thick. What products or techniques can I use to get it like when I get it done?

Please, only answer if you know about african-american hair.

Try using pressing oil as you straighten your hair with the flat-iron because that always helps my hair not to be too thick. The pressing oil kinda "locks in" the effects of the heat keeping your hair straigter for longer.

Hope this helps! :-)

Ok, so, i gave my mom the description of a certain way i wanted my hair to look, and she didnt care for the idea?

here is the discription i found: "EMO hair for boys: Hair - Rarely washed, if ever. Dyed black if not black naturally. Is normally cut very short with bangs cut straight across the front. If you prefer longer hair grow it to the length of about your eyes and never comb it."

How can I get my mom to allow me to style it that way?
Also, any crud I get about the hairstyle i want will get 1's

Tell her that it's your hair and should be able to style it anyway you want to. It's a way of expressing who you are and it makes you unique. Explain to her that she should accept and love you no matter how you do your hair and that she shouldn't make it into such a big deal.
Tell her this and maybe she'll get used to the idea.

Hope this helps! :-)

my name is Rachel and iam a 17 year old girl and my sister moved in with her 2 kids and it's getting really crowded right now becouse it's my mom my stepdad my sister her 2 kids and me that's 6 people living in 1 house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and iam currently sleeping on the couch which I think is unfair so I asked my cousin michelle who is 36,but is like a big sister to me if I could move in with her and she said I could,but I had to ask my mom first,but the problem is I know my mom won't go for it what should I do?my stepdad is getting really cranky please help me!

Just tell your mom that your beginning to feel crowded and that you need a bit more of your own space. Tell her that your cousin said it was alright and even get your cousin to talk to your mom aswell. Just basically explain to her all the advantages there would be if you were to move out. It's not just to give you more space it's also to give your sister and her kids some more space too. I'm sure your mom would be able to understand that it is for the best. But try not to get into an argument about because she won't want to listen properly to you then.

Hope this helps! :-)

okay so im 15/f 5'6 weigh 140 pounds.. im not fat but i do have extra weight around my legs.. im very muscular because im very athletic.. swimming and volleyball.. but i would like to know if anyone knew how to loose the extra weight on your legs..
im very self conciouse of them..
=/
thanks..

Try jogging and/or cycling and that should help tone them up pretty good. Keep up with your swimming (kicking your legs in the water tones them up) and volleyball (running around gets your heart pumping for a good "fat-burning" cardio session).

Hope this helps! :-)

OK so theres a guy, hes a year younger than me (im a sophomore, hes a freshman) and I like him. I really dont know him well at all. I dont have his sn, and ive asked ppl they dont have it either. I see and talk to him at church, so I can prob. get his sn from him. How soon is it to ask for a cell phone number? And what r some things I can do that could get him to like me .. i wanna be myself and im not a huge flirty person .. and im not especially pretty. idk what to do .. but i really want this guy to like me. pleaseee help.

Just continue talking to him, share your interests and see how much you two have in common, if he likes you (which he probably will) you'll soon become friends and exchange numbers and stuff.
These things take time, but the main thing is that you find out more about him. Because perhaps when you get to know his personality better, you may not like him as much or you may like him even more!

Hope this helps! :-)

I have a friend a best friend named daishawn and i liked him then i thoight i didnt but deep dow i new i still did today i told him that i used to like him on and off for years including this year and he was like i would have gone out with you y rare you tellin me now and do u still like me and i said it dont madder because you goout with kelsay and shes also one of my best friends and i dont know what to do pls help

I think it was cool of you to tell him that you once liked him at least now you know that he has some interest in you. But if you still like him now that I suggest that you tell him you still like him now.

Leave it up to him to decide what he wants to do. Since he is going out with your friend, however, I think you should put any ideas of you and him going out together on hold for a while. I mean you don't want to go and spoil a very good friendship that you may have over a boy.

Just see how it goes and if it looks like he's not interested or that things are going to get too complicated then just move on and focus your interest on someone else
After all there's plenty more fish in the sea!

what does rastafari mean?

It's the name given to Hallie Salasi the rastafarian king. His name was Ras Tafari meaning "king of kings and lord of lords". It is just used between Rastafarians to acknowlegde the Rastafarian religion. Sort of like a greeting like "wassup".

Hope this helps! :-)

the the other day she was meant to send her bf a txt and it appeard on my phone instead when his name is Kris and my name is Ste but K is nowere near S in the alaphbet is it? is she tryin to make me jelious r sumthin?

she says that the date we went on she will never 4get it was 1 of the best days she had and that when we kiss she went all funny but i still dont understand it? when we talk now we just end up arguing and bitchin bout each other then we say sorry 2 each other and that it wasnt nice but y does she still want me as a mate if we argue and then make up the other day she said she "hated me and that i had "blown it "( why had i blown it she says she dont like me anymre) and told me to "piss off" but then she txts back and says sorry bout bfore . but if she dont like me and i pissd her off why she wanna keep intouch with me she says I always make her happy and smile isn’t that wot a bf is for? But she told me the other day she had got rid of the photo?


I know I shound havnt done it thou but I made a fake email addy to talk 2 her “bf” and I was talking 2 him and he seems a nice guy but when I askd him are you single he said ye iam but iam just getting off with this girls thou. So I think she finks they are seein each other?then I askd her wot is she doin 2nite ( last nit) and she said iam goin out with kris and havin sumthin 2 eat at his,but when I was talking to him askd him wot was he up 2 2nit and he said “ just a quite nite in watchin the football and I was talking 2 him till bout 11 ( at nite)anyways y is she tryin 2 make me jelious? I thought you only made sum1 jelious when you likd them?
help me plzzzzzz

This girl seems to be confused about the way she feels. I mean girls can be so complicated sometimes, we just don't know when we have a good thing going.
Girls always keep photos and stuff to remind them of the good times they have, sometimes keeping a photo doesn't really mean anything it's just keeping a nice memory.

It's not not clear whether she's trying to make you jealous or not, I think this because you had already been on a date with her so she must know that you like her, so there's no need to make you jealous to get you to like her.
People argue all the time especially close friends and sometimes people say stuff that they don't men through their anger. So I don't think she's trying to be mean or anything and your arguements shouldn't really get you down too much.

By making a fake e-mail and trying to find out about this guy, perhaps that wasn't such a good idea because although you may think that your finding out about this guy, you really don't know what he's like. He may just tell you he's "watching the football" because he may be embarrassed about saying he's having a night in with his "gf". So I wouldn't go jumping to conclusions too quickly.

All I can say is that I think it's best for you to give this girl some space, because the more you "hassle" her then the more you will drive her away. It's best that you continue to remain friends with her and be there for her. Who knows in time she may tell you that she likes you or that the other guy is a jerk. But it seems that for now, there isn't much more you can do.

Hope this helps! :-)

why do girls try and make you jelious if the say they dont like you?? also do u think u can find love at such a young age like 15-16 and spend the rest of your life with them???

If a girl is trying to make you jealous, it's usually an indicator that she DOES like you. However, sometimes girls make guys jealous without them even knowing what they are doing, because it's the guy that likes the girl so he is becoming jealous of her actions (rather than her deliberately provoking him).

I think it's possible to find love at a young age, and possibly to spend the rest of your life with them. But when it comes to reality, it doesn't always work out like that. I mean, one day you may feel head over heels in love with someone and you feel as though you could spend the rest of your life with them, and another day everything could change, because people change, and feelings change.

Having said all of this, if you have a gut feeling that a person is "the one" then no one should be able to tell you otherwise. And sometimes it's better to follow your heart rather than you head.

Hope this helps! :-)

why do we cry as a form to express emotion?

this has really been a kicker for me lately and im really curious to see if any one knows why.

Here's some information about crying that I found out:

Three types of tears have been identified physiologically. Basal or continuous tears which lubricate the eye, reflex tears when chopping onions and emotional tears, which have psychological meaning. There is some evidence that the different types of tears have different chemical and hormonal compositions (Frey & Langseth 1985, Van Haeringen 1981). Crying follows a physiological pattern which often starts with a distressing thought, memory or experience and consists of distinct patterns of restricted breathing with tears building up to a crescendo, in which the sobbing is at its most rapid and intense and after which the person relaxes. The thoughts and memories cease to evoke an intense response. It is at this stage that people often report the feeling of relief conveyed by the expression 'having a good cry'. A very similar pattern is found in laughter, particular the infectious laughter of a group, again with tears but the starting stimulus involves humour rather than sadness or loss.

Whatever the process might involve, it would seem that tears are a special example of emotional processing. They share a stimulus input, an affective experience and behavioural expression as outlined in the emotional processing model.

okay i have recently asked a question to see if i was depressed. i told you how i felt and everyone who answered said that i was definetly depressed and that i should get help. but my question is, if your going through depression can you feel fine somedays but most of the time empty. so i guess what im trying to say is when going through depression do you still have some good days?

Whether your depressed or not, everybody has their good and bad days. So i'm sure you will have some good days depending on how you feel. If fact to stop you from being depressed sometimes its better the think about all of the good days you've had, trust me it'll make you feel better sometimes.

What songs are easy to start singing with? People tell me to sing whatever song I want but it's not helping, because I don't sound like the person and it makes me try harder[it messes up my voice]. So any suggestions?

I'm working with "My heart will go on"
Any more songs?

You don't have to sound like the person because singing the song, it's all about developing your own unique style of singing voice, so whatever song you choose don't worry about trying to sound like the person who sings it.

keep sticking to singing soft ballads like "my heart will go on" and you'll be fine.

Hope this helps! :-)

Does that acne treatment by neutrogena -actually- work? Because I've used it on my acne and it's making it worse and all dried out. It seems to be making my acne stay around LONGER. i've had acne in the same spots for MONTHS. i dont know how to get rid of it. there's some red spots on my skin, no bumps or whiteheads. i dont know how to get rid of it.

Something similar like that happened to me aswell. You can try using another product like Clearasil (that helped me) but also if it starts happening again, then don't use the product everyday as this dries out the skin more. Using it once every other day should clear up your face and stop the icthyness.
You should also try using a moisturing face cream after aswell just to reduce the risk of dryness even further.

Hope this helps! :-)

what are some effective ways to lose weight in a short amount of time? what are some fairly easy ways to lose weight? i'm really excited about my family's summer vacation, and i'd really love to get fit, and just drop a couple pounds.
tell me what would usually work for you, or just what you think would work.
thank you!

Eating healthly salads and low fat foods should help you cut down on some callories. Also I find doing some sit-ups every night/morning can really help you to tone up.

Hope this helps! :-)
