Swoon-worthy ways to rock your locks

Whether you’re bored with your ’do or are battling unruly curls, we’ve got four crush-worthy new ways to wrangle your mane.

Add some girly flair
Perf for wavy hair
: Show the love this Valentine’s Day by pinning back your bangs with a cute clip. For the ultimate flirty look, add some curl to your locks by twisting them around your fingers while they’re still damp (a bit of mousse helps them stay put). Elegant and effortless.

Snip some bangs
Fab on super-straight strands: If you cut your strands before school started and haven’t touched ’em since, it’s time for an update. Right now, long brow-grazing bangs are h-o-t. They feel just a bit flirty (especially with natural eye makeup and plenty of mascara.)

Smooth out those curls
Gorgeous for girls with a pile of spirals: atural curls are soo pretty, why waste time trying to tame them? If you’ve got ringlets, use your fingers to part your hair when you get outta the shower. Then, apply some curl cream and let your hair air-dry. Stylist secret: If your hair is already dry, you can just dab on a bit of the cream to ensure your crowning glory is frizz-free.
 
Wish ya had curls? Here's a how-to.

If all else fails, sport a headband
They look good on anyone, work on down or up hair (or braids!) and are super feminine. Plus, they take two seconds to pop on.

I have wavy/curly hair, but I don't have bangs. All I have to do is slip on a headband, and I'm out! And I still won't be late for school!

i am getting my hair cut on Thursday and need some advice. I have thick wavy brown hair that can be straitened or curled. I also have a heart shaped face if that helps. What style would look best on me, also what type of bangs should I get? Thanks! Smile

 

Hey girlie. I think it would be pretty if you got some longer layers and then side bangs that fall just a bit over one of your eyes but are long enough to put behind your ears. This looks good with either straight or curly hair!

My hair is pretty long,naturally sort of wavy,and thick. I like how it looks when it's straightened, but in the winter, by the end of the day, it's nowhere near straight anymore. Lately. I've been trying to mix it up by trying new braids. updos, and wearing it natural (i don't really like it that way). Help! Thanks.
xoxo




Hey girlie,

Try blow-drying your hair with a flat brush first, then straightening with a flat iron. You can always incorporate products to help smooth your hair as well, like straight-hair conditioners or serums. Also, read these Smile

My hair is always straight, and I want something new. When I wear my hair curly, it is so tangly, and so hard to take care of. Any tips?




Hey girlie,

Read this article! The most important thing is to condition your hair beforehand to keep it smooth and frizz-free.

An awkward problem: i know what type of guy i like, and yes they exist, i know some at my school =). the thing is, none of those guys like me. which wouldn't be so much of a problem, if a bunch of other guys don't like me, that i know for sure i don't like. how can i get the ones i'm not interested in to leave me alone?




Hey girl, by just saying you're flattered but not looking for a boyfriend right now. Ignore their advances and let them down gently.

I have a mix between wavy and straight. My hair gets straight in the winter, beach waves in the summer and frizzy any other time. I usually wear it down, in pigtail braids, a fun barrette, or high ponytail!
