Wait. They sell olive oil at Bath and Body Works? My brain is skeptical

Or you could just take out the sea salt and use an intense amount of extract. Every time I smell something good, Im in a good mood. I want this feeling to last all day.

I used olive oil instead of scented oil. I'm still afraid to put it on my hair. I also used smaller portions 'cause the bottle's pocket sized. Is it safe? Please answer as soon as you can!

Even though I'll still make this, I'm not sure if this is a good look for me. I have brown hair with highlights, brown eyes, long lashes,glasses, and huge, bushy eyebrows. I think I have square shaped head. Would it look good? What else looks good?

Hey Crissi, using the right hair products will help you. Try Getting Dumb Blonde Smothing Stuff cream. I've read it's a cream that it silkens thick hair without making it greasy. Using anti-frizz shampoo may help tame your thickness. Try to wash you hair only a few times a week instead of everyday. Be sure you're trimming your ends every so often so your hair will continue growing. You can always throw a stylish headband on or put some clips in the front of your hair. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I have really, really, REALLY thick hair and no matter what I do to make it soft it gets thick again in like two hours and it's really frustrating. It's really short and it won't grow out. There is also like no way to style my hair because it's so short so I just have to let it hang down. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY HAIR? ;'-( What can I do to fix it? Help!
(Thanks in advance for the awesome tips!) Lynae P.

Through out the day my hair gets really stringy and it looks as if i haven't brushed it this morning. How can i stop this? My hair is very fine, and i think it takes too long to brush it after ever bell. Also, I dont want to have to carry a brush with me in classes. Thanks for your Help :3



Hey girl,

There's really no way to stop it completely, but there are quick fixes.  Try to stop touching it as much so that you don't get the oils from your hands in your hair.  And when you don't feel like brushing it, try flipping it or shaking it instead.  You could also invest in some dry shampoo or a sprinkle of baby powder in the morning to try and head it off.

hey can I use body spray in substitute for the oil? If not, would the oil be found in the hair section of a store or the perfume section? What would it be called? (just a random example)
thanks! Smile

 

Hey girl!

The contents in body spray, such as alcohol, can dry out your hair further along with the salt, so if you want a smoother finish and tresses that aren't too dry, go for oil. You could use any oil like olive oil. I'd say look for hair oils in the hair products section in stores. Smile

is there anything i can use instead of scented oil? like a household item? or can it be unscented? i really wanna try this tomorrow but i don't have scented oil! please answer! thanks!




Hey girlie,

You could use unscented essential oil, but it's best not to substitute with anything else - you won't get the right texture/spray if you use something else! <3

okay so I want to know if this really works, because if it does I will by some scented oil for $4, but I only want to spend my money on this if it will actually work. I have straight shoulder length hair. So will this be effective and cute? Thanks!

Hey girl,

It sounds like it should be cute, but I can't say for sure since I haven't tried it myself! $4 isn't too much, though, so it sounds like it would be worth a try!

My hair is pretty long and I am running out of some cool, easy, fast options to style it. I only set aside about 15 minutes a day for it. Any options?




Hey girl,

My hair is really long too (like almost past my chest), and I have a few standbys for quick styling! First, I love styling it straight and dressing it up with a sparkly beaded headband. It makes your look feel instantly girly and glam. You could also do a simple high ponytail, then spice it up by braiding your ponytail. That'll totally give you a funky girly vibe. I also love parting my hair on the side, then taking the smaller side and pulling it back with a colorful barrette. It's unexpected because it's not symmetrical, but it looks SO perfect!

Before you read this, I want you to know that I'm sincerely ashamed. I'm shaking as I write it.


 

 You don't have to feel gross or ashamed. This is just something that happened and you don't need to feel like a bad person. If it made you feel bad, just don't do it again. And you don't need to tell your parents or anyone for that matter. It is ok to be curious, you googled, you saw, you were not interested. That's fine. Just calm down a bit and don't feel so awful.

hi! From the time I get out of the shower to when I fall asleep, by hair dries out wavy, but when I wake up, it loses lots of its waviness and has an awkward slightly wavy but mostly straight look to it...how can I keep it completely wavy and not mess it up when I sleep? Thank you! Laughing



Try to shower in the mornings so when it air dries, it'll still have it's natural wave.  Or put it in a bun or braid at night when it's wet. Jordan S.

Oil is generally more natural and healthy on your hair, so I'd go with that!

Recently I've been putting on some weight and I'm really worried about it, and I feel uncomfortable in any kind of tight clothes. I'm worried I'm getting fat, and last week I began starving my self. I stopped before it was to late, but now I'm considering doing it again. I know I shouldn't but...



Don't ever starve yourself.  Believe it or not, that actually does much worse for your body than good.  When your body thinks it's starving, it stores more fat in your body as an emergency energy source.  So you'll actually be gaining more than you're losing.

Focus more on what you're eating and making sure that it's on the healthier side.

What drug stores specifically can you get the scented oils at. and do you have your favorite specific brand by any chance I can look for.
I also need new jeans I really wanted to get nice ones but not over 100$. I was thinking like A&F or Hollister but I don't know what ones to choose if i did get some. If you have any ideas or anything could you tell me your opinion? Also any other cute brands? I don't like flare jeans. I love boot cut super skinny and begging. But please tell me if the brands I mention are really tight or anything.
Thanks MODS!
xoxo Sarah



It's available at any of them!



Personally, my favorite store is Urban Outfitters.  But jeanwise, Hollister jeans always work wonders for me.

Have a chat with one or two of your friends that were going and have them order their tickets with you.  You don't need to make the whole group do it, just maybe your closest friends in it.  That way, there's no backing out on their part or your part.  You will need to get them ahead of time, the hype is huge!
