I have shoulder-length wavy hair. It’s majorly poofy. I can't even blow-dry it. Sometimes I straighten it, but it never really helps. I don't have enough money for a professional straightening job and I'm growing out my hair so I don't want a haircut either. There must be some way for me to fix this problem easily. Help!

Girl, you've got naturally gorgeous waves! Why in the world are you trying to straighten them? Go with what your mom and dad gave ya! It looks like straightening those tresses isn't doing anything for you anyway. Here's the steps you need to take to embrace those pretty strands.

1. Find a moisturizing, curl activating shampoo and conditioner. If you let your hair get dried out (your straightener is prob frying your locks!), it's going to be more likely to frizz or "poof. The curl activator will help give your hair a tamer look.

2. Comb through your hair while you're still in the shower. Use a wide-tooth comb. Just before you get out of the shower, rinse your hair with cold water. This will help seal in moisture and keep your hair from frizzing.


3. Gently towel dry your hair when you get out of the shower, squeezing hair and pushing upward slightly. Don't rub! It'll cause tangles and frizz.


4. Spray a leave-in conditioner generously over your hair.

I am in 8th grade and I'm going to be freshmen next year, but it's kinda give me that nervous feelings because i am not outgoing person and too shy all of the time.is there any way that i could be more confident and make my first day and year a better life? maybe my sis could help me out because she is going to be with me , she is will be in 12grade.




Hey Girl! We all get nervous but you just need to be confident in yourself! Maybe if you pick out a supercute outfit that you really feel comfortable in, then you can just radiate confidence. Just don't worry about it, be excited to start a new year!

MOD MOD MOD!
I had a really best friend several months ago, but i think we are just friends now, because the way she act up like. at first we had 3 ppl in our group and now a bunch, and I think because she had lots of friends so she act up like cruel, don't like to talk to me. i have her a gym and my other friends whose her too, she always talk to them , but not me, she don't even say hi to me. But then i care about her. she gets tired in gym everytime so i like to ask if she is ok and reply is not good, almost like "no don't talk to me."
So is there anyway that i can get her back without losing friends?




I would not try to get her back, revenge a lot of time causes more trouble. Just try and talk to her one day when she is alone and just let her know that you are hurt by her avoiding you.

I could use some help, MOD.
I've been wwanting to grow my hair out kinda long (think taylor swift, maybe a little longer), but last week i got it cut and now it's only a couple of inches below my shoulders! Is there any way to make it grow back before the end of summer?
thanks so much!
LOL
(lots of luv)

This is very helpful. My hair has this weird thing that it only has major waves for the last couple of inches. The rest is just plain old frizzy. I have it in a shoulder length, layered cut so the curls are more wide-spread, but I still have frizz and poof.
