HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU? You wake up at around 5:00 am excited to try this new hairstyle you saw in a magazine last night. You have to be at school before 7:40 am, and as you are finishing the last part of the hairstyle, you think it looks HORRIBLE! Your hair is sooo unflattering that it makes you feel depressed and wanting to throw up! "But why?" You ask yourself. It looked SO good on that one girl! However you look TOTALLY different from her, from your facial shape to your hair texture! In this article you will unlock the secrets to the perfect hair style for you. You will discover what your hair type is and how to manage it to look your very best. If you are a guy who plans on having a girlfriend in the future, (or if you have one now) you’ll be able to give them a little help when they ask you for advice on their hair! Read on to find a SOLUTION to this very scary problem! You should always look your finest, and knowing what face shape and the type of hair you have will help you look it!
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT FACE SHAPES...RIGHT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR FACE SHAPE IS? IN CASE YOU DON'T I HOPE THE BELOW WILL BE OF SOME HELP.
Once you have figured out your face shape, you must decide what hair texture you have because everyone has different hair textures as well. There are all sorts of textures that include curly, straight, wavy, and etc. Do you know what your hair texture is?
HERE IS A CHART TO HELP DETERMINE WHICH HAIR TEXTURE YOU HAVE:
STRAIGHT HAIR (type 1): For straight hair, I personally believe you can do almost ANYTHING! I think the best thing to do is to just keep it natural or the ladies with this hair type. Also, if you want a specific style, girls with shoulder length hair, should try bobs. Girls with long straight hair should try getting some strategically placed layers because it can open up your face, can add movement, and can make the cut more interesting and modern!
WAVY HAIR (types 2a-2c): I have naturally wavy hair, and I want to shave it off! However, I don't want to look like Voldemort. It’s not so easy for me. I usually use the flat iron, or wand to curl and or/ straighten my hair. Alternatively, you might feel comfortable in your own hair. Long, graduated layers is a cut that is recommended for hair that falls below the shoulders, and is most flattering for that hair length. Long layers on this length allow the wave to release itself and give swing and movement to the hair. Wavy hair that’s shoulder length, just like long hair, looks best with long layers. Try face framing layers! On the other hand, remember you can always do what you feel comfy in.
CURLY HAIR (types 3a-4c): I think curly hair is the most difficult of all hair types! There are actually a lot of special products for curly hair management, and I recommend asking your hair stylist about them to make your life WAY easier! A good hairstyle for those with curly hair is to leave it natural, or straighten it! Although it might take long, I believe it will look amazing! A good haircut for curly hair (AKA types 3a-4c) is to have it blunt at the bottom, but your stylist should slice the outer layer to create movement and prevent it from looking triangular.
Now you have the key to looking your best by having that perfect haircut/hairstyle that is unique to your own physical traits. Guys who have made it this far can now impress their girlfriends because their girlfriends will feel special after "their man" gives them some good pointers on how to look fabulous.
It is always important for you to look your very best, and making your hair look good is just one out of all the elements to looking GREAT! We are all totally different from head to toe but that doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful! I really hope this article helped out with the everyday struggles of managing your hair and looking good! Now your friends and family won’t be the only ones complementing you on how you look, but strangers will too! You will no longer be getting the “what the heck happened to you today?” Instead, you’ll get nothing but jaw dropping and eye opening faces along with a handful of compliments!! Doesn’t that sound amazing? Knowing your face shape and hair will always help you bring out the best in them, and make you look gorgeous! Making your mark in this world is tough, but when you have the perfect hair do, it's just a little easier!

NIS BY THE NUMBERS AND NOTABLE QUOTES
I asked 50 girls from NIS, "What type of hair do you have and is it hard to manage?" Below are some of the interesting responses.
Jasmine Armenta: “ I have naturally curly hair, and it has a mind of its own. “
Midajah Meneses: “OMG YES UGH. I WANT TO SHAVE IT!”
Camille Hawley: “ I have super straight hair so it’s really easy to manage.”
Mia Chanphimam: “ I have extremely curly hair…SO HARD TO BRUSH!”
Emily Deyoung: “ I have curly, wavy, and straight- ANNOYING!”
Dannalla Olivarez: “I have naturaly straight hair, so I don’t have a problem.”
Arianna Myers: “ I have naturally wavy hair it is really thick and hard to manage.”
Half of the students surveyed felt their hair was hard to manage, and the other students are lying. Just kidding. Apparently the other half are blessed, and have no problems with their hair or they're bald. As you can see, A LOT of people dislike their hair because of how complicated it gets to manage, While others have a perfect time managing it! Whether it’s hard to manage or not, this article may have just helped you with any questions or concerns about your hair.

The classroom lights glimmered off Kenzie’s iridescent-orange, polished nails. Every time she wrote, they sparkled and shimmered. It looked like she just went to the salon, but surprisingly she did not. Some of the girls glanced down at their own nails and were disappointed in their nail polish. Chipped and dull, theirs were not smooth, shiny, and perfect like Kenzie’s nails. They wondered how could get their nails as perfect as Kenzie’s. Many people are disappointed when their favorite nail polish does not last long. However, people are discovering Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish because of its superior results.

Newspaper Nails

"OMG I've trained my whole life for this," said the NIS student who was doing her nails. "If I mess this up, I'm going to be, like, so depressed." Just then, the NIS student was bumped on the arm by her three foot, Tasmanian Devil brother, and it was a dark day in history. She messed up her China Glaze gray nail polish. "OMG my nails are ruined!" Newspaper nails just might be the solution to her nail catastrophe AND could save the life of her brother. Newspaper nails are cute, easy, inexpensive, and fun, but are also sophisticated. Newspaper nails are very easy to create by yourself.
Doing your nails is a great way to complete a nice outfit, express your self, and have fun. Newspaper nails offers a cost effective way to create a unique look without wasting your money.
These nails are perfect for any occasion and for any type of girl both young and old. They're cute for a party, hanging out with friends, or attending a nice dinner with your family. This nail design is perfect for anyone. Since they are appropriate for any occasion, you won't have to constantly change the design for the event you're going to. No one likes to take time out of their day just to remove nail polish, which sometimes can take a long time or be a little hard to do. NIS students are always working hard and don't always have time to waste nor do they like to waste their money. Newspaper nails are easy to remove if you really need to. I took a survey of 50 girls at Norco Intermediate School. Only 14% of the students surveyed said they don't like getting their nails done, for all sorts of reasons. Some of the most common reasons revolved around the high cost of getting their nails done, so it seems newspaper nails could solve their nail dilemma.
Newspaper nails are also really easy to create. Expensive nail tools aren't needed, and completing your newspaper nail look is quick. You only need a white or cream colored nail polish, some cut up newspaper, rubbing alcohol, and top coat clear nail polish. You are almost guaranteed to be satisfied with your nails, because the design is so easy. It would be very hard to mess up. As long as you have a somewhat steady hand, your nails will be perfect. Just paint your nails, let them dry, dip them in rubbing alcohol for about 7 seconds, place the newspaper on your nail and firmly hold it there, carefully remove it after about 20 seconds, and apply the top coat clear polish. Then you're done (see video below). Time to go be amazing. Enjoy your nails, Bobcats!
