OMG! I hate my new haircut!

I just got my hair cut for the new school year, and it looks awful! The stylist didn’t listen to me at all – it’s too short and looks nothing like what I wanted. What can I do to fix it?

Here’s the good news: Hair grows back! Although it’ll take some time, you’ll eventually get back your old ‘do, good as new. But until then, here are some smart solutions for fixing a horrible hair cut.
 
Pile on the pins
Yikes – unflattering fringe got you down? Grab fun pins or hair barrettes and sweep it over the top of your head, like a half up do. Secure it with bright clips, and no one will even bat an eye.

Gel Belle
Super short cut? Make like Emma Watson, and show off how chic a boy cut can be. Use a little gel to give your short strands some texture – it’s magic!
 

Pure Clean Gel, $5, ulta.com


Curly Girl
You used to have straight hair – but now that it’s short, it’s gone all curly! Don’t freak, it’s totally normal. Without the weight of your long locks, your hair springs into its natural shape. Either grab a straight iron or enjoy your gorgeous curls – try a product made specifically for curly hair to get more control.

Most of all, be patient! It’s not permanent, and it’s definitely not the end of the world. Own your new ‘do with confidence, and no one will even notice – except to compliment you on your fierce new haircut. Good luck!

For the next school dance I want to do something super cute with my hair. I thought of curling it up like taylor swift. My hair is naturally wavy but doesn't like to curl, any tips? Thanks!




Hey Girl,

A curling iron is your best bet for this one. To get tight curls like Taylor, you'll want to try a smaller iron (around half an inch). Hairspray is also something you'll want to use to keep your curls in place. Check out this post on how to get the perf curls!

mod mod mod, I am african american I have different hair than any other race. I have hair what they call relaxed (straightening chemicals) instead of all natural like any other race. I also have medium length hair and i want to cut it so I can be all natural. But it takes a lot of work and i dont know the right products to use on my hair, especially if i wanted it curly while i was transitioning, or just to make it curly without heat or rollers(ugh).




Hey girl, I'd suggest asking your hair stylist about that when you go in to get it cut. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with those products. I'd rely on an expert to recommend products for you.

My hair is super SUPER curly (think the diameter of Crayola marker) and really thick. When i straighten it (at most, 3 times a year) its to my elbows, but when i wear it naturally (a basic wash & go) it reaches only a couple inches past my collar bone! Everyone says "i love your hair!" or "I wish mine could do that!" and i really do love it a lot, but how can i get it to keep from shrinking so much without having to put heat on it?
Thanks so much! Hey advice girls!! You guys are utterly fabulous!! Please comment on my profile if you know of anything I can do! I would REALLYYYY appreciate it!!




Hey babe! 




One way you can keep your hair permanently straight is to ask your mom about getting a Keratin treatment - a hairstylist will put special proteins on your hair to keep it straight for a few months at a time. Since Keratin treatments can be pretty expensive, why don't you try growing your hair out and using a straightening shampoo to blow it out? Let me know how it goes! xoxo

I have 2 questions:
1: How do I do makeup like Dianna Agron?
2: How do I curl my hair before school without waking up really early?
Thank you!




Hey girl,

1. She does her makeup different ways depending on where she is (out and about, on Glee, at a red carpet event, etc.) Typically, she has nude lips (just go with a plain gloss or a very plain rosy pink) and her eyes are the focal point: a touch of eyeliner on the bottom, thick eyeliner on the top, and a couple coats of mascara should do the trick! Sometimes she opts for a smoky eye as well.

2. Unfortunately curling your hair naturally takes time - there's no shortcuts if you want it to look good! The only other option is to put your hair in curlers the night before, sleep in them, and take them out in the morning. Try this on a weekend to make sure you like the way it looks!
