i dont see why you would want to gain weight. i'm the same age and 5'7" and i'm 95 pounds. I think my hips are the right size for me. Getting a bigger butt will make you gain a lot of weight.

Should hair straightener be used on wet or dry hair or with gel or cream?

Asked by Koena Mitra in Beauty & Fashion at 6:43 PM on November 17, 2008

's Answer

A hair straightner should NEVER be used on wet hair, so only use this on dry hair. Always use hair product to protect your hair from the heat. Naturally dry your hair for twenty minutes, put in straightening/protecting product, and then blow-dry to allow the product to penetrate more deeply

If using a conditioner on a regular basis weighs your hair down what's a solution?

Asked by Koena Mitra in Beauty & Fashion at 6:48 PM on November 17, 2008

's Answer

I'd recommend buying a professional shampoo and conditioner from a salon. Most of the hair products you can buy at grocery stores have a waxy coating that will build up on your hair and weigh it down. A product I would recommend, as a stylist, is the Kenra platinum line's shampoo for fine/thing hair. It has a normal shampoo and then the conditioner is a really lightweight spray leave in that won't weigh your hair down at all.

What happens to red hair when it is in chlorinated water?

Asked by Koena Mitra in Beauty & Fashion at 6:48 PM on November 17, 2008

's Answer

From what I can find out natural or dyed red hair is resistant to colour change in chlorinated water. However as chlorine is a bleaching agent the colour will fade if you swim a lot with unprotected hair.

What is a no damage and long lasting way to straighten hair without the use of a flat iron?

Asked by Koena Mitra in Beauty & Fashion at 6:58 PM on November 17, 2008

's Answer

Use an iron that has a thermostat or temp-control. Turn it all the way down and try ironing a section. Increase the temp in small increments until it works well on your hair. NEVER use the iron on "HIGH" on a regular basis.

If you want to use a serum/oil, blow-dry with it or put it on AFTER ironing. There are a lot of stylists out there telling clients to put it on before ironing. Here's a question...how do you fry chicken? Oil+heat...you do the math.

There are many straightening sprays to use with the flat iron and help protect the hair. There are just as many that are to be used with the BLOW-DRYER. READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!!!

Finally, don't spray hairspray on right before ironing...sizzling and smoking generally aren't a good sign. Once in a while for a prom or something if you just have to, but the Hair's sake...not often.

Can you straighten your hair after getting a perm?

Asked by Koena Mitra in Beauty & Fashion at 6:43 PM on November 17, 2008

's Answer

You might also try waiting a week or so, often people don't like their perms because they are so different than the hair they are used to. Waiting will give the perm time to relax and give you time to get used to your new look.

How fast does human hair grow?

Asked by Koena Mitra in Beauty & Fashion at 6:30 PM on November 17, 2008

's Answer

It also helps to restore shine and helps to strengthen dry or damaged hair. After using all of these helpful hints your hair should grow about 7-8 inches within a year. Then again you may be one of the lucky few who need to do nothing and get the results of long beautiful shiny hair. Another tip is to take Biotene everyday.
