  • Question
    I want my hair to be a little more wavy without using heat products. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    Use non-heat curlers and sleep in them, then mess it up a lot and it should go into loose waves that will last throughout the day.
  • Question
    What if a bully tries to mess up my hair?
    Community Answer
    Make a tight ponytail by using multiple elastic bands so that if they try to pull it out the extra bands hold it in place. Also, I recommend that you tell a trusted adult about the bully.
  • Question
    What if I have thick, shoulder-length hair?
    Community Answer
    I have the same kind of hair, and some things that work for me is doing two pigtail buns on top of each side of my head, or even low pigtail buns. You can try half-up half-down styles, or even just one or two French braids. The next time you're in a salon, ask the stylist what would look best on you. You can ask your parents and friends, too.

    How would you do your hair to impress a boy?

    Honestly, most boys are not going to notice your hairstyle. Try something that makes you feel confident. A bouncy high ponytail or pinning one side back with a pretty barrette might do the trick.

  • Question
    Any ballet bun tricks up your sleeve?
    Community Answer
    The easiest and fastest way I know of is to use a bun donut. You put your hair in a ponytail, and stick the donut in that ponytail. Continue to turn until the hair is on the outside of the bun. Fasten with a hairband and you're done!

    My hair gets really tangled in the morning. What can I do?
    Aristai Sanchez
    Community Answer
    The night before, brush it with water and conditioner. (Not too much water, though, as it could damage the hair.) After you complete this, braid it. The next morning it will be a bit tangled, but once you undo the braid, the comb will easily pass through.

  • Question
    What if I always wear a ponytail, but want to try something new, but can't leave my hair down or do a braid because my hands don't reach far enough?
    Community Answer
    You could do 2 French braids, one on each side of the head, which can be easier to reach because the braid ends in front of you. You could try the half-up half-down hairstyle, which comes in a lot of different styles if you ever get bored with one of them. You could even just change your part, or, if you want to wear it down, try brushing it in front of you. If you don’t like the length of your hair, you can always get it cut.

    You can try a French braid, and you can smooth the front with a fine toothed comb and water. You can also try straightening then just curling the ends. It gives a formal look. You can also try a large alligator clip for a cute updo.
