5 Hair Dos And Hair Don'ts

In This Article:

You are better than that bad hair day. Stronger than that tangle. And cuter than every cowlick.

Hair Do: Use Product

Some people say product may damage your hair, but it is a risk we have to take. My favorite product to use is "Garnier Fructis Style Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk" which helps when I have too much volume. There is a thing of too much volume. All my thick hair friends, can I get an amen?

Hair Don't: Overheating

Twelve seconds max. No more, no less. Make sure to use your curlers and straighteners sparingly. Your ends will thank me later. We don't need to see smoke to know its working. No matter how hard it is to curl your hair.

Hair Do: Up Dos Are Always a Yes

Twist, twist, and swirl around. Whenever you are not feeling the day, grab a pony-tail holder and used that technique. Twist your hair, until it starts to roll around itself, then tie the band around it. Everyone has those days. (Yes, I did just have a "Hannah Montana" moment)

Hair Don't: Leaving the hair on the back of your head unstraightened. 

I am sorry. I can't. Straighten your whole head. None of this, "just the front," type of thing. No. Just no.

Get a friend, let them straighten the back. If you pull out that straightener, you keep going. All the way. I am putting my foot down on this.

Hair Do: Volume is a good thing. 

Yes, I said it. Volume is a good thing every once in a while. Even for me, a girl with some thick hair. I get it. We all want that straight edged sword hair like Kim Kardashian, but volume is nice to have. After you straightened your hair, grab some volume powder and pour a little in your roots. Plump up your hair just a little bit for that messy straight look for a night out. Notice I said, "After you straighten your hair." All the way. It will give you volume, and make sure that your pictures on Instagram on perfect.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
