Save your spirals! The curly girls guide to perfect hair--part 2


 
Got curls? No need to agonize over how to get your spirals perfectly springy or be totally envious of girls with stick-straight strands. With our fab hair face-off, you can pull a Taylor and rock it out either way whenever ya please. (Psst! Get the sleek 'n' straight guide HERE.)

 

Curly hair…quick!
Can’t start from scratch? Freshen up fab curls in time for a Friday-night fete.

1. Spritz your tresses with a curl refresher to boost body. Plain ‘ol water in a spray bottle works, too. Wait a few mins for hair to dry, then…

2. Curl any spirals that have lost their shape with small-barreled curling iron (3/4’’ to 1’’, depending on the tightness of your natural curls). Then, simply wrap a portion of hair around the barrel, hold for a few seconds, and release.

3. Finish with a shine spray to fight frizz and keep locks looking amazing.

 

Bedhead busters!

·    Preserve and protect those precious curls by sleeping on a satin pillowcase.

·    Before bed, sweep hair up into a super-high pony and keep it in place with a scrunchie to ensure your curls are gorge when ya wake up.

·    Freshen curls in the morning by spritzing with water in a spray bottle to reinvigorate your ringlets, and running fingers through the underside to detangle.

Okay so slight problem. I have this guy friend and we are super close. Today he told me that he had some news but my girlfriend would have to tell me. She told me and it turns out the he got a girl pregnant recently. I feel heart broken because I used to have feelings for him and still do less intense and he couldn't tell me himself. I have so many questions. Like why didn't he tell me himself? And what should I say to him because as of recently I have become very emotional about this and refuse to talk to him. Can you please touch all the bases and tell me what to do because I'm at a loss.

Hey girl,

I can only imagine what your friend must be going through and your hurt at finding out secondhand. If he doesn't know you had feelings for him and you never dated him, though, he might not realize that having her tell you hurt your feelings. He's probably just going through a lot right now and thought it would be easier for you to hear from a girl. Even though it hurt your feelings, your friend is probably really confused right now and could probably use the support of his friends, so try being supportive of him instead of refusing to talk to him. Just be there for him when he needs a friend. And please encourage him to speak with a trusted adult like a parent, guidance counselor, teacher or doctor about what he's going through. You can also refer him to this post on teen pregnancy resources to share with the girl. http://www.girlslife.com/post/2008/08/18/Teen-Pregnancy-Resources.aspx?cp=all

My hair doesn't curl! It's curly, but it can get straight spots every once in a while, and when it does, they're in the front and really obvious. The big problem is that they won't curl with a curling iron, they straighten even more. Because of this I have to take a shower every morning and wash my hair every morning. How can I get it to curl? (Hair spray doesn't help, trust me I know all the tricks)

Hey girlie,

If taking a shower helps your curls but washing every day is taking its toll on your hair, maybe you could just get your hair wet and then style it, even if you don't shampoo it. You could also try putting a curling product in it to help form its natural curls. Check out this post for more info on curl maintenance: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2012/10/29/Calling-all-curly-hair-cuties-Curl-care-101.aspx?cp=all
