Bored with your locks? Not anymore. We're dishing three hot ways to tame those tresses this weekend. Whether you're headed to a football game or on a date with your BF, our latest coif crushes have you covered.

Go for Sweetly Half Up
Psst: a half-up mane works on basically every girl and looks “fun and youthful,” says stylist Angelo David. Start with dry tresses. Use a comb to create a deep part (the arch of your eyebrow is a good point of reference). Grab a 1-inch section of hair and start twisting it along your hairline. Or, to re-create Lauren's look, try a braid instead. Ask your mom or BFF to hold the twisted section, while you repeat on the other side. Secure both parts together with a tiny elastic. Nix flyaways with some pomade.
 
Deck Out Your ’Do
We were psyched to uncover this line of pretty hair pins. Use them to sweep your bangs back out decorate a low-key updo. Such a great change from plain ol’ pins and adds a hit of color to your hair.
Native Print Bobby Pins, $12.17, freepeople.com

Get Smooth
Forget the frizz! Fall dates call for glamorous locks. When your hair is still damp, apply some anti-frizz serum. Then, blow locks out. Next, use a wide-barrel curling iron on dry hair to ensure you get a head full of bouncy curls. Hit with hairspray and quickly run a bristled brush over them. The result? Hair that looks like it belongs to a silver-screen siren. So pretty.

MODMODMOD! My hair is dark brown and wavy/frizzy when it dries by itself. I always straighten it for school and for hanging out, but its getting boring. I have to straighten it though, because of how wavy my hair is. My hair is about 5-6 inches below my shoulder, and my bangs are cut in a swept-like cut. I don't feel comfortable with them pulled out of my face either. Do you know other hairstyles I can use for this type of hair?

 

 

Hey chica! You could always straighten your bangs, then use a round brush to blow out the rest of your hair. Then, put it in hot rollers for a cute volumized do. Also, try some cute headbands. They always look fun with sideswept bangs Smile

I have an oval shaped face. And I want my hair to my collar bone but my mom won't let me. She makes me cut my hair short ( sometimes to my ear! ). And when I ask her if I can let my hair grow out she rufuses to let me do want I want with it! What do I do? Is she right?




Hey girlie,

Try to ask mom why she wants you to cut your hair so short. Is there a particular reason she wants it that way? Does she think it's more modest and appropriate to be shorter? Does she figure it'll save money on shampoo and styling products? Does she have a reason at all? Respect her decision and talk maturely with her about it - that way, you can try to get inside her head and understand where she's coming from. Afterwards, consider her reasons. If you still think letting your hair grow is the way you'd like to go with it, try to find a style you really like. Choose something simple and non-dramatic that you can show her - that way, she knows you're not thinking of going crazy with it - just that you'd like a change! It might be tough to change her mind but remember to stay calm and treat her with respect at all times. That means no yelling or stomping away in anger...that'll only hurt your cause Smile

MOD~
I have very wavy hair and have been trying to curl it for days. I put tons of hairspray in it, and when every I use my curling iron (1 1/4 inch), my hair just comes out as a wave at the bottom. Don't get me wrong it looks pretty, but only for an hour. It becomes stick straight after that. Am I using the iron wrong? Is there a way to get that "roller look" just with a curling iron? HELP!




Hey babe,

It's most likely not your hair - it's probably the way you're using the iron! Try separating your hair into thinner sections and make sure you roll it all the way up to the scalp. (Obviously don't touch your scalp though - ouch!) Spray the section of your hair with hair spray first, then roll it and hold it for at least 30 seconds. When you let it down, try to do it gently so you don't destroy the curl. Afterwards, spray with hair spray again. It might not last long (THAT will be due to your hair's texture) but, with practice, you'll get better at creating a perfect curl Smile

Mod I have super straight hair and when ever i try to curl it an hour later it comes out. I don't know what to do? I've tried to put hair spray but it still comes out an hour later.




Hey girlie, look for a super strength hair spray. You'll also get better curls if you use the thinnest curling iron you can find.

*modmodmodmod* I have wavy frizzy hair. Sometimes it looks good but 75% of the time it just looks so messy! What can I do to make it look pritty?

 

Hey chica! Check out this article about ways to tame your frizzy locks. I hope it helps! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/11/17/3-frizz-busting-tips.aspx
