advice

My hair is naturally very wavy and frizzy and gross. I straighten it everyday. If i DOnt straighten it everyday it gets greecy,if i scrucnh it ,it just looks bad and basiclly anything that dosent burn my hair dosent work. I put heat protective spray in my hair which also doesn't do to well consdiering my hair is very dammaged from the iron. My mom won't letme get it japanessed straightend because she thinks it will ruin my hair more and is so mcuh money. THey repair shampoo and conditioner dosen't work either. Any ideas of what i can do? thank you so much:D

If you want it to continue to straighten everyday, i'd first get a trim.
then use LOREAL Natures Therapy Hot Oil Botanical Treatment for Dry, Brittle, or Chemically Treated Hair every few days, maybe like 2-3 times a week. it works wonders.

also, id say every week or two use LOREAL Ineral Hair Fixer

what if your frend likes a guy that you like

Does she know you like him? I'd see if there is a way to hint that your kind of into him as well, maybe she'll back off a little bit or maybe she wont. But if you feel out the situation and see how she reacts so that you can tell if it would be okay to go for him. If she seems pissed off it may not be worth ruining your firendship. If she seems like she wouldnt care then slowley see what happens.

okay. well my friend(lets say her name is becky) well becky and (lets say his name bob) bob used to like eachother. and becky is one of my good friends. they didnt go out or anything. they just liked eachother. but all that time i liked bob. now bob likes me and told becky he doesnt like her anymore. i dont know if i should like him and hurt my friend and juss let her get over him or not like him and be her friend. but do know, i really do like him.

Well, i would just talk with both your friends. Bring up the subject of your guy friend not liking her anymore, ask how she feels about it. If shes emotionally attached still, then it might be too sensitive to get involved in. Now this doesn't mean it wont ever happen between you and him, but u may have to wait. Also, talk with this guy. See how he feels about the situation. Would he be willing to talk to your friend, let her know how he feels about you? See her response. In the end if it seems like shes going to be really upset, then it might not be a good thing to do, unless your willing to choose the boy over the girl. But your friend may be mature about it, and let you do what you want.

i have this 4 year old horse who i luv alot but i carnt do the stuff my friends r doin well most of it.she dosnt even canter jet but i no if i stick wid her she will b amazng but that could take more than a year but i only have her 4 a year and a bit so when i do train her up her owners r goin 2 take her away.

if i got a new share i proble wouldnt have stuch a good deal money wise butii would b able 2 do stuff and injoy the new horse .plz help

I think the best thing to do is start working with this hoarse while u look for a good deal. Try working it both ways and see if something better works out. Maybe you'll find a good deal for another horse in a few weeks, and maybe you wont. Either way i say keep riding the 4 year old and see if she gets better or you can find a better horse. Either way theres no need to waste time contemplating.

i wasnt sure what category this should go in...

so i have fair skin and of course it would always burn if i ever spent a long time in the sun without sunscreen. well i went to greece a few weeks ago and got the worst sunburn in my life except only on my nose and hands. i used sunscreen but it did not help.
eventually it healed but then i went back out in the sun, wearing suncreen and now i always seem to get burned. i want to go to this beach party that is being held but my nose is already extremely burned and i dont want to make it worse. sunscreen is NOT helping at all. what should i do? i was told to wear a hat but all hats seen really dorky and i want to look cute.

Apply an oil free moisturizer with added SPF at night time and during the day even if your in the house only. It can be a small amount like 15, but they usually sell them saying "Daily Moisturizer with SPF protection" If you apply this daily it will make a HUGE difference to your skin. Once you have started doing that daily, you can add Nutragena SPF 70 (to be safe) or anything above 45-50. I think you will defintiely be pleased with results (my sister is a pale red head so she has the same exact problem.)

Ok so i have had freckles on my face ever since i can remember. They have never really bothered me before, but now that i'm getting older i really don't want them. Are there any home remedies to completely get rid of my freckles?? Thanks in advance.

I don't know what the girl below me is talking about, but if its freckles that you've had all your life you can't make them go away. There genetic. It would be like scrubbing away your skin color. i suggest just a coverup formula. I know mac has a really really good set. Get the natural foundation, and mix it in a sponge with another foundation of your choice. Apply it to the areas and give it five minutes. Then apply the powder cover up and you should be good to go. You can't get rid of what you have but you can make it seem invisible.

ok my best friend is dateing my outher guy best friend and i just met her this year but i have know him since kindergarden and she said that i could not c him or talk to him but i could not let that ruen me and my guy friend relashinship so i met up with him at the mall and we talked he than texted her and said that we wher hanging out and that she should not have told me i could not c him or chat so no she is saying all this stupet stuff about me and telling me that i am fat and every thing i have no idea what to do i am 14 and

okay so, your friend is just jelous, and insecure. And its really not your fault at all, its all on her. What you need to do is just call her up and be like look, i have no intention of trying to get with your boyfirend, and he does not see me as more than a firend. Tell her you understand that shes conscerned about her boyfriend hanging out with other girls(who wouldnt) but that she can trust you. I think you should try to hang out with both of them together for awhile. As in, You, your best friend, and her boyfirend. That way she can see that its only a firend thing for herself. As for her boyfirend, he really just needs to sit down with her and let her know how he feels. If he genuienly likes her, and has no feelings towards you, he needs to voice that. He should reassure her by saying that he likes to hang with you as a firend, but would never like you in that way. No matter what she needs to feel secure otherwise she will resent you for hanging with her boyfirend, and therefore will probably try and hurt your feelings to make herself feel better. i wouldnt continue to see him without her knowing, doing thing behind your firends back is only going to make it worst. You just need to be honest and gain her trust.

Oh and shes a bitch for saying things about you. Clearly shes just jelous, so don't let it get to you.

*let me know how everything goes

i met this guy last year and he was in all my classes and we got to know each other and started going out but awhile later i found out he was abit obsesive...he found my house on google earth and wanted to know what i was doing when i wasnt with him. I broke up with him earlier this year but i felt really bad so we started going out again because he's really sweet and nice but since then i just cant kiss him.. and then i feel bad if i say no. i still love hugging him and cuddling him but im just so confused right now p.s sorry about any spelling mistakes i've made

My honest advice is to break up with him. Sometimes when boys are too obsessive its a major turn off, its totally understandable, and thats probably why u don't want to kiss him. If you are no longer attracted to him, and are turned off then i say definitely break it off with him. Find someone who you are always attracted, and comfortable with, its so worth it. I've been in a similar situation so if you have anymore specific questions please let me know girl.

i was wondering, are rain boots in style, or going to be in style? thanks (:

yes. depending on the type of boot i'd say they definietly are coming in style, i suggest the coach ones, or any other cool pair. I wear them a lot wtih skinny white, or regular jeans and a cute sweater or shirt. I think the only way they can be worn (i've only ever seen them worn this way) is tucking them into pants. Never skirts. I love them, give them a try.

is the song, Relax, Take It Easy supposed to sad or happy? i know it's a song for disco, but i'm still can't tell.

i think its supposed to be uplifting, a song about being in a sad place but becoming happy, and like relaxed? you know? The lady at the end of the song is the old maid that used to work in my house. The story is about how she lost her eye, but today shes a happy and joyful person, i love her to death. Her story of the one eyed lebaneese woman is true, and she didnt let it effect her. The song uses her story to inspire others.

They must be getting ready for there fall stuff, thats anoying, i dont really no all that much about hollister, but i heard its similar to like, abercrombie and fitch, and american eagle, so you can check these out i just searched these websites.

http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category1_10051_10901_13057_-1_12203

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/category_feature_item.jsp?catId=cat1320034
