Answer 1

Ceramic flat irons will not damage your hair, you can also try to give yourself weekly deep conditioning treatments

Answer 2

Judging from your pics, you are already a pretty girl! I, too, have blue eyes and curly brown hair that gets poofy as it dries naturally, so I will share my tips with you:

Big blue eyes look best with minimal makeup that highlights the eyes without making them look cartoonish, I think. I always wear just a sheer, nude-colored shadow with a hint of shimmer. I line the top lids only with black eyeliner (a really thin line), and I put black mascara on the top lashes only.

For the rest of the makeup- you, like me, are rather fair-skinned, so you might want to go with a bronzer just maybe a shade or two darker thanyour own skin. If you swipe just a little on the apples of your cheeks (smile really wide-the apples are the parts that stick out the furthest), a very light stripe down your nose, and just a touch on your chin. These are the parts of your face that the sun naturally touches, so the bronzer will look very natural. Finish that off with a nice pink lip gloss.

For hair-I have had a lot of success with John Freida Frizz-Ease products. The shampoo called Straight Ahead straightens out naturally curly hair a little so if you do straighten it with a flat iron, you won't have to do it for as long and you can save your hair from some of the heat damage. Frizz-Ease also makes another shampoo called Curl Around, which will make your natural curls into soft ringlets with no frizz or poofiness. You should also pick up some Frizz-Ease hair serum. Put a dime-size amount in your hair right after you wash it, while it's still really wet. It will weigh down your hair and make it less prone to poofing out as it dries.

Have a great day!

Okay for your hair - first get it cut with long layers. This will enhance the curl and shape. Second - to handle wavy hair (mine is the same way) when you get out of the shower, use a pick (not a brush) to comb out your hair and immediately apply some gel or mousse. I would recommend you get something for curls though. After you comb that through you hair with your fingers to distribute good (and use a decent amount if your hair is thick) then flip your head over and scrunch with a dry towel and hold a few seconds each time. Then flip back up and scrunch some more. Keep doing this every few minutes between applying makeup or brushing teeth or whatever. Then you can apply a bit more mousse to your hand and scrunch that to give it that lock hold. Just let it dry naturally (it can be a pain until it's dry but it will look nice) Once it's mostly dry I'd flip my hair back over and put my fingers in and wiggle to loosen up any hair that's kind of glued together. That's what works for me - I finally figured this out after YEARS of wearing it in a bun because I couldn't do squate with it.

And if you're going out and want it to look real nice....do all the above except in addition to the towel use a difuser on your blowdryer every few minutes until mostly dry. this will give you major curl definition and great body and is VERY sexy. Don't worry about it being perfect in your eyes - curly (or wavy in our cases) hair is always kind of "messy" - but that's what makes it look so darn good!!!

Other than that - I'd say that's it. You're very naturally pretty - don't ruin it with gobs of makeup. Just some mascara, foundation if you need it for any cover up, lip gloss or lipstick and some light eyeshadow and you're good to go. Just try the hair idea for a change up on your hair - it make take a bit to get used to but you'd look gorgeous with it.

Don't feel ugly. :( You're not, I swear. You have nice skin and balanced features. Have confidence.

If yuo want to do makeup, I'd say put on some eyeliner to bring out those beautiful blue eyes! And a little chapstick for your lips. If you wore foundation or concealer your skin could break out.

For your hair, are you using a product to protect your hair? If you aren't, your hair will become damaged. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week if you do start to use a product. If you don't, your hair will get buildup on it, and lose shine and become sticky. Also, condition your hair. You could use a hot oil treatment on your hair, it will repair damage to an extent. It'll make your hair feel nice and soft, too.

Answer 5

wow your eyes are beautiful! i use to have the same problem except my hair was much worse, it was very curly and no matter what i did my hair was frizzy and then one day school pictures came up so i was like "ell i dont want to wear my hair up anymore, i should go get it cut and find some products that can help my hair" and the lady at the hair salon helped me find stuff for my hair and now my hair is pretty again! i also use aussie shampoo (three minute miracle and sydney smooth) and if i was my hair to be curly the next day i dont dry my hair after a shower but i put it in a pony tail and i secure my bangs in place with bobby pins and sleep with it in my hair that way. if i was it straight i do the same but instead i put redken straightener in my wet hair then blow dry : ]

Answer 6

You are beautiful, naturally beautiful! Maybe a new haircut would make you feel better? Layers and side bangs would look very cute =]! For makeup I would use gold tones or brown tones. Gold eyeshadow is very cute and brown eyeliner would look great! Don't worry about the braces. I had them and now I have straight teeth which is what I wanted. When you do get thm off get your teeth whitened that's what I did and they looked amazing! Good luck!

Answer 7

Whoahh -- you are totally NOT ugly.

I agree with the people who say you should layer your hair, I think it would look really beautiful if you also let grow out a few inches longer.

I like your hair colour, but if you feel like a change you might consider colouring it a shade or two darker.

Your eyes really nice -- you could use light makeup to enhance them even more !!

Answer 8

i thnk you should get a more dramatic haircut, and not part it down the middle firstly, because i personally just don't like middle parts, unless you're kate moss lol. if you don't like to straighten it, i suggest getting a good product that leaves your hair feeling nourished after straightening it. i suggest L'oreal paris's studio hot straight. it's heat activated and protects and improves your hair when you straighten it:]. i use it all the time, my hair feels nice and shiny.

for wavy hair, herbal essences mouse works really well. i also personally love got2be and bedhead, they work amazingly. maybe you should invest in a curling iron:].

hope it helped!

Answer 9

I don't think you are ugly at all, you have amazing eyes!! As for you hair, before you let it dry naturaly put in some Chi Silk Infusion, it works wonders. It gets rid of frizz and adds shine.
