that advice isn't bad but just to warn you bangs are a LOT of work. every day you have to take care of them for like 15 mins just to make them look nice. after all the work they are really cute tho, so it might be worth it. (\~~/) (='.'=) (")_(")

I wish my hair was long and straight. I mean, I love my curls, but it would be so much easier to manage! and whenever i straighten my hair, everyone says they like it better straight. i wont ever get a perm though.
milliebilly789 on 9/13/2008 11:44:08 AM
I have the same prob! I just got my haircut last week and LOVE it! I chose to get layers with side bangs. The layers start at my shoulders and get shorter up to my chin. All i have to do is blow dry it after my shower in the morning and it works! ( oh and depending on your hair color, maybe highlights too!) Hope this helps!
bananaz202 on 9/13/2008 12:27:01 PM
I u have a long forehead, try some side bangs and just blowdry them in the morning.
bananaz202 on 9/13/2008 12:28:45 PM

My forehead is teeny. I never get straight on bangs, only when I was younger.
MunkQoo on 9/13/2008 2:00:43 PM
Yeah, bangs r good. If you don't want to get full bangs, get side bangs.
ShopperSoccerGurl on 9/13/2008 2:43:03 PM
Side bangs. they are so cute and they can make your forhead seam smaller
EmmaGrace on 9/13/2008 2:45:51 PM

I want bangs, but they would look weird on me, and they're so much work. My friend had them last year, but let them grow out over the summer.

SportyBFF25 on 9/13/2008 4:45:00 PM
I have bangs and I love them! Mine are straight and kind of thick, cause everyone around here has side-bangs, which I don't really care for. They're really easy to take care of, too. Every once and a while, I'll wake up and they'll have dried weird, I just need to squirt them with water and comb them out.
smells like teen spirit on 9/13/2008 5:32:57 PM
uhll, hey girly i have the same prob!!!!! Ok... first things first buy a new straightner obviously the one you have isn't working too well but if its straight at first but then gets curly, it works fine you're just not doing it too well haha what i do is put my hair half way up with a hair comp or pony tail holder and straighten that part that makes it really super straight then i straighten the top layer and then i spray hairspray on a brush and run it through my hair sometimes when my hair is being really stubborn i use gel on a comb too but it helps to blow dry your hair with straightening gel or straightening balm before hand i totally heart the conair infinit hairdrier/straightener it doesn't get your hair totally straight but dries your hair fast and gets it pretty straight you just have to straighten the ends and under your hair if your hair is thick make sure the plates are big... if your hair is thin make sure they're smaller you can buy a big one for thin hair to make it go faster if you run out of time but that'll damage your hair pretty quick buy a heat protectant spray too and DON'T STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR ALL THE TIME that's what makes it HARDER to straighten cuz its damged and unruly so if your friend straigtens her hair everyday she's doing more harm then good your hair would look beautiful flowy and wavy or natural as long as its not frizzy really, i suffered from a straightening addiction and my hair was damgaged the whole summer i didn't straighten for probably half a year and then i did and it was so easy i didn't belive it CHI is a really good brand or FHI but they're super expensive you could also go to a salon and ask how too also yahoo has some good answers too

Sorry I have bean so busy with school I can't post tips every day but I will post them on the weekends. So here is today's tip. If you want to find the perfume that is perfect for you hang around a perfume counter at a place like Herbergers. My friend and I did that today. The lady that worked there was super helpful and gave us like 25 cards with different perfumes sprayed on it. My favorite scent was Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture. It was a nice sweet scent and it came in the cutest bottle! Thanks Bye!

i used to think my forehead was big, but its not at all.
love wanted on 9/14/2008 12:20:23 AM
i think that my forehead was big, and so i felt better by getting straight bangs (my hair is naturally straight and does the flippy thing at the end of my layers too) but the straight bang covers my forehead and not a whole lot of people have that kind of cut. i also asked my hairstylist if she could cut it kind of choppily, and now i love it. at night, i sleep with it off of my forehead so i don't get a whole lot of zits either. plus, they're long enough to pull back if you feel like showing some more face skin. p.s. mine hit past my eyebrows, and the bangs themselves don't flip out like my body hair.

When you all keep mentioning side bangs, what exactly do you mean? One on each side, a long one on one side, or sideswept bangs?

Mod: i have blonde, curly, and poofy hair. i also swim a lot so i never really have time to do anything with it except pull it up in a bun. do you know anything i could do with my hair that won't take me a lot of time?
chica <3 on 9/14/2008 2:50:51 PM
Dear Mod: I have a quick question. I just got my hair cut to about the length of my shoulders. I love it! But I have really thick straight hair and it's kinda frizzy, even when I brush it out or put some water on, it gets frizzy again. Do you have any suggestions on any kind of product I could use to keep the friz to a minimum? Thanks! ☺
AnimalLover17 on 9/14/2008 4:47:02 PM
I wish that I have naturally straight hair mine is really curly and everyday before school I have to straighten it. But I am the same way that you are. When i straighten my hair my hair does the same thing and I have a long forehead too! <3 Hailey

I wish my hair was straight. My hair is ok if i put it into a ponytail fte the shower at night and then taking it out in the morning at first, but no matter how much hairspray i use, it always poofs out!
nicole32 on 9/15/2008 4:18:26 PM
i think bangs might b good 4 a big forhead.
fitzgibbon_713 on 9/15/2008 5:16:48 PM
****MOD MOD MOD**** this is a really weird question but is there any way to wear your hair in a ponytail without the big crease in your hair when you take it out? (thanks!!!)
trackstar on 9/15/2008 9:34:47 PM
Hey girls! I found a great new way to dry your hair QUICKLY and HAVE FUN DOING IT! just turn on a fast-paced song and shake your head/hair up,down, and side to side, going with the beat. you can dance around and have fun too! when the song is over, brush out your hair because you will have a little bit of tangles. It is worth it though because your hair will be almost all the way dry! My favorite song to do this for is Disturbia by Rihanna. bum bum be dum bum bum be dum bum....
emmymonkey16 on 9/15/2008 10:10:37 PM
I ttly have the same hair as u! thats awwesome.
