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.
 

TIGI Bed Head Foxy Curls Contour Cream, $14, target.com

 
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!

MOD MOD MOD MOD !! okay so im about to start 8th grade ina week and my hair is naturally straight and goes down to about the bottom of my bra strap. i like to take a shower at night so then when i wake up in the morning i can do my hair. i like to curl it and wave it and all that stuff but since i have sooooo much hair its takes me a little inder an hour to do my hair, and i have layers just a lot of them. is there any way i can cut my hair doing time in half ? and thing that can help do my hair faster ? im not talkin like 10 minutes but like 30 minutes ?

 

Hey girl, try looking for some products in the hair aisle at your local store. Try out a few sprays or cremes. If you find a good product you like, you can just put it in your hair and give it a quick blast with the hair dryer, or even let it air dry! It should take a lot of time off.

MOD MOD MOD MOD!!! I'm sorry if i asked too many questions.
I have naturally curly hair like really curly hispanic type of hair(u know what i mean?) and so when i get it straightened i like to curl it with a curling iron. i wanna know if there are any products like hairspray, thatll hold my curls when i curl it but it wont make it hard. And it cant be something really wet because then it will make my hair go back to its natural curl(not good!). So are there any products that arent pricey, that do that? and where can i get it?




hey! check this out: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/12/22/Quick-ways-to-get-party-perfect-curls.aspx

MOD PLEASE! Sorry for all the questions! 8th grade is starting next week and Im FREAKED! I was shopping today and I was looking for some hair gel thats makes your hair curly by scrunching it in. I bought this gel called like "Curl Activator Gold" er somethin'. It's a total rip-off! Do you recommend any curl activator stuff? I have long, straight brown hair a little past my shoulders. Just some gel to scrunch in. Thanks Smile BTW- love the magazine! Smile




Hey Sweetie, 

Check out this post for tips on how to tame curly hair: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/11/09/tame-curly-hairstyles.aspx and good luck in eighth grade!

So summer's almost over, and I look back and most of my time was spent on the computer! I currently live at my grandma's and she's really protective so I'm not allowed to go places by myself, (only like around the block) and I don't have any craft supplies to do things, and I'm not allowed to have friends over a lot! What should I do? I'm so bored and I have NOTHING to do, and I'm the only child here! Thanks SO much! Smile




Hey girl, as for what you can do, see if you can explore an eaby city or its museums. Check and see if there's any concerts going on in your community explicitly and keep your fingers craught.

xoxo
