I have graduation for middle school ceremony,and a lot of girls make it a big deal, and i guess it sorta is.I have a cute new dress and a jacket but i don't know what to do with my hair.I usually straighten it for school because it is super frizzy, but do u think i should do something more special? Sometimes i curl it with hot rollers and it looks really good but it usually takes a fair amount of hair spray.This would be fine except for the fact that the 8th grade is going swimming after the ceremony.Do you think curling it is pool party friendly?...do you think it will get really frizzy/messy even if i don't get it wet at the pool?...do you think hair spray is pool friendly??...ugg i just don't know what to do!...any suggestion??...maybe some way to spruce up my regular straightened hair???...im open to anything! Thanks for your help!




Hey babe,

I'd take the opportunity to step it up and be a little fancy with your hair.  After all, no matter what you do, it will all go to waste once it gets wet from the pool water.

I think the best sweat-proof makeup for summer is Clinique's Perfectly Real foundation.
