Dear Dish-it: Help for Flat Hair

Dear Dish-it,


My hair is so flat and unmanageable. How can I make my hair have more volume and be more manageable, without spending hours in front of a mirror?

Dear delly belly,


There are a few tricks to making flat hair plump and voluminous - and still stick-straight. Hint: Ditch the flat iron!


Step 1

Start by shampooing and working a volumizing conditioner into your locks. I like Herbal Essences Body Envy Conditioner because it's affordable, smells great and works well, too!

Step 2

Once you’re out of the shower, prep your locks with a volumizing mousse. My fave is TRESemme Volumizing Mousse.

Step 3

Next, blow dry your hair, brushing it out with a round brush as you go. You’ll straighten and smooth your strands - but still get that extra oomph.

If you’re pulling your hair up, you can use a brush to lightly tease hair at the crown (close to your scalp). Or, wind your hair around hot rollers for dressy occasions. Use your fingers to loosen the curls and - viola - major lift!

On a scale from 1 to 10, how lenient are your parents?  1 being not lenient at all and 10 being unbelievably lenient. I would have to say about an 8! My parents are strict in some ways, but pretty much let me do what I wanna do, as long as they know where I'm at! They taught me to know what i s right and what is wrong!!

I agree, I'm a Christian but don't bother with girlfriends or boyfriends as I'm only 11 years old. Yet, some people are couples with these cute boys and pretty girls and yet they are only 11 too. Trust me people, don't bother with girlfriends or boyfriends as they will seriousy mess up your life!
