Hair

[Guest Catherine H]

The past couple of times I have been to get my haircut, the person cutting my hair has told me that it is really dry and that I need to use conditioner. I recently started using conditioner regularly, and my hair does feel softer, but how do I get my hair any more "feminine" without really alerting anyone? :/ I try to keep my hair pretty long, or at least, not short. I also have really thick hair, is that a good thing for me?

Catherine,

Without knowing your age group or seeing a picture of your hair, its hard to give good advice. Long hair can already be pretty feminine, so you may not need to do much else with it besides styling it. If you haven't already done so, you could get layers, which when styled right can look super girly. You could go for an edgy-goth look and get an A-line cut.... so many possibilities.

Thick hair is so much better. If you want it thinner, you can always have them thin it out. But if you have fine hair, its hard to add volume when you want it.

I'm 15. Here is a picture with my glasses:

(Note: I just took a shower, and haven't brushed my hair yet <.<)

Thanks

Hi Catherine,

What I would give for hair like yours! Your hair appears to be thick and full of body - there are lots of possibilities there!

I'm not sure how much you can get away with - letting it grow a few more inches in the back might be possible - enough to look feminine when you want and still not attract attention.

Good luck, and do take care of that hair - it's a treasure!

Love, Kat

Girl conditioner is not enough! Ok so im a self proclaimed teen hair addict LOL seeing as where the same age heres tips! Once a week apply deep conditioning treatmeant found at any beauty suppy store they range from uhh 8-100and above...I would stick to a 14$ one(:. Mkayy umm and use hair oil only on the tips because if u place it on the roots it will make your hair thin and fallout:)...we dont want that do we now? Mkay sooo also try and massage ur scalp daily in the shower for 3-5 minutes?(stimulates hair growth). OH AND coconut and almond oil is reallly cheap like 1$? Yeaah a really good deal! But dont use to much!! And well cut split ends! And ummmm thats about it if anyone needs makeup or hair tips? Let me know! im basically a pro hehe

Thanks! That means a lot to me My hair is kind of short right now because a couple weeks ago I had to get my haircut. Typically I just tell them to cut it however my dad won't get upset over (he is a total neat-freak, if you have one hair wrong, he will take you to get your haircut x.x), but this time I think I'll try to ask them to keep as much hair, but straighten it up. That should be a happy median

Adorable! Aly's advice is GREAT and I wish you luck. Just thought that if you do go for a more feminine styling the glasses will help detract from feminine features and facial structure versus without them (If you ever consider dabbling with passing ;D).

Biotin helps with nails and hair as well. Its an over the counter supplement and i've gotten compliments on how soft my hair is after taking it for a little while.

I would recamend using deep conditioner once a week , you can also use a leav- in cinditioner styling product and you could also flat iron you hair that would give it a little fem in your hair. And please I do not recamend spending money on over the counter cheap hampoo and conditioner I can not express this enough to any of my clients it cause it really not good for your hair as they claim to be. Supplement is not needed plus your young so you really don't needed any pills like that. I am a licsens Hair Stylist

If you are trying not to alert anyone you should be fine growing your hair out a bit, I have a male friend who had his hair down past his shoulders and nobody thinks twice about it, it is also really soft and quiet thick. I tried asking him how he keeps it looking nice but he claimed it just 'falls like that' after he gets up in the morning.

I use conditioner on my hair regularly to keep it soft, although i don't use it every time i wash my hair as I have heard that using to much can damage your hair. My hair looks to be about the same thickness as your but is longer, it reaches all the way down my face and it hasn't raised any suspicion within my family.

I would recommend brushing your hair after washing and drying it, this seem's to have made my hair softer since I started doing it. It also feels really good if you have had a stressful day.

Just having longer hair can often make it feel more feminine or if that doesn't work for you, you could look into styling it differently but more people would notice that you had a 'feminine' hair style and it could alert people before you are ready for them to know, if you have not told them.

Good luck ^^

Love <3

@Maria ...... conditioner dose not damages your hair it recondition your hair to it proper HP acidic level of 4.5. Shampoo is only a detergant that just cleans your hair with a little high acidic level to alkaline(high Ph level) which can be harsh that may damage hair with out the use of conditioner. With conditioner being rate with a low acidic HP level will reconditioner and balance the hair to its natural Ph level. Conditioner is a must after using shampoo.
