Ed. Obsession Under $20: The 60-second secret to hallway-ready hair

Dry shampoos were pretty much the best thing that ever happened to me (er, my hair). I’m a firm believer that hair doesn’t need to be washed...

Dear MOD,
Okay, I have long, thick hair that is not color treated. I wash my hair everyday, but I don't know if it hurts my hair. I have asked my mom about dry shampoos and conditioners and being the pristine mom she is said it is gross not to wash my hair everyday. Even if I don't wash my hair Friday nights (I was my body) she says it is gross. I have tried (for 2 weeks) washing my hair every other day (no dry shampoo) and I didn't notice a difference between my hair when I didn't wash as much. What should I do about my hair? Is it safe to wash it every single day of the week?
MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD

 

 

Yes, Girl, It's safe to wash your hair every day. Some girls prefer to wash it every other day to preserve natural shine and texture. If your hair is dry, that might be a good idea, but if your hair is oily you would definitely want to wash it everyday. All in all, it should damage it if you skip a wash or wash it everyday.

i have REALLY thick hair and its sorta wavy at the ends. i want to straighten it with a iron but i dont know whats a good cheap iron to buy! i used have one but it broke Frown now i want to buy a different one cuz the old one wasnt very good on my hair (old brand: Ceramic Tools). also whats a good heat protectant thats cheap?? THANKS! Smile




Hey girlie,

Ceramic flat irons are great, so try picking a ceramic iron from a brand you trust. We love Revlon or CHI: http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod1460064 But browse Ulta's flat irons section to see what works for you! As for heat protectant, check out this one from Pantene for thick hair!

Hey girl! Mods are moderators, we answer all your questions! You can get cute collared shirts (chambray, if you can) and cute pants.  Also, try cool accessories (neons are super fun!).  xoxo

This website is always stating facts on how to style hair in braids, buns, or any other common styles worn by girls all over the country. What I would really like to know is how to wear something new, or possibly even something old and forgotten. For example, I for ages I have wanted to know how to style a beehive (the towering up-do that was popular in the sixties). I want to, as they say, "turn heads". So please, on behalf of the possibly many other girls who would also like to make a statement, include some new styles (such as the beehive). Smile

I have a couple things to ask Smile 1. My school has a dresscode (collar shirts and kahkis) so I was just wondering how could I get a cute fall look? I live in Texas so it doesn't get too cold so I guess nothing too heavy. 2. I really like this guy but he lives in Louisiana so I don't get to see him.. should I just move on? Thanks for all the help! - Claud

 

 

Hey girl! Def move on from the dude and find a new one at school.  Try different colored shirts and cool jewelry to get a cute fall look.  Flannel is in, so try plaid shirts (in lighter material, since you'll be in warmer weather!) xoxo

when i went to the hairdresser to trim my bangs, she trimed it too much and now its TOO short! do you know how long it will take for hair to grow about half an inch?? THANKS! Smile

 

Hey girl! Everyone's hair grows differently, so I'm not sure how long it will take you.  Sorry! I promise, after a week, you'll get used to the bangs the way they are. xoxo

I got dry shampoo but after reading the ingredients in it (and knowing what they are), you realize how damaging it is to the ozone layer and air. It's jsut chemicals. Opt for naturals (actual) shampoos an conditioners. It doesn't take that long to jump in the shower and rinse

I have heriditary under eye circles so theres
nothing i can do about them. How do i cover
them up and what brands of concealer do i use?

 

Hey girl!

You're just going to have to test out some different brands and shades to figure out which one you like best. If you go to a store like Ulta or Sephora, they can test them on you or give suggestions.

Hey girl!

Sally Hansen has a bunch of products that are meant to strengthen your nails. Try Nail Growth Miracle Salon Strength Treatment. It strengthens and lengthens your nails. You should also eat lots of fruits and vegetables!

My hair was thin, when it was, it was easier to comb and very light, so now my hair became a normal thickness but not too thick. It's still thin a bit but I want it to be fully thick, not just little bit, is there anything I can do to make my hair thicker??

 

Hey girl!

There are tons of volumizing hair products on the market. Try John Frieda Luxurious Volume Thickening Mousse, which you can buy at any grocery store or drug store. It's not a permanent way to make your hair thicker, but it helps each time you style your wet hair.

ok school starts on Aug.20 and i was asked if i wanted to got braids i said no bc i will hav 2 get weave or fake hair which wil make my ends look ragety should i still consider braids plus i am going to middle school so i dont want beads

 

Hey girl!

I totally get why you don't want beads in middle school; you want a little more of a grown up look. It sounds like you're a little skeptical of getting braids since you have to get a weave or fake hair. If you really don't want to do that, then you shouldn't! You want a style that's comfortable and makes you feel confident. Try and think of some other styles or ask a hair stylist to suggest some other options.

Hey girl!

It's all about accessories! You could pair a girly dress with tough boots to give it instant edge. Jewelry like chain necklaces or a spiky bracelet would be perfect too.

MOD! I've been told brushing with baking soda whitens your teeth, but what does that mean? Mixing your toothpaste with baking soda? Or just putting some on your toothbrush and brushing?

 

Hey girlie! Instead of brushing your teeth with toothpaste, get your toothbrush wet and dip it in baking soda.  Then brush your teeth like you normally do.  Rinse with mouthwash and floss! xoxo
