drhousescock asked: about the hair bleaching post, what do you recommend for people with dark hair that want to go blonde?
For Blondes
Would you like your hair as white as this?
I CAN HELP.
The first rule of getting nice, platinum hair is to NEVER use box dye. ever. If you do, your hair will probably end up being a pee yellow.
What I use is
Paul Mitchell Cream Bleach. I use cream bleach because a lot of powder bleaches can burn your scalp and cream bleach is just easier for me.
I mix in a 30 volume cream developer with...

saraashouri asked: Hello! I saw the anon who asked about acne scars, usually if the scarring is heavy and deep there isn't much hope but possible laser treatments. If it is light/average scarring, they should go to a good aesthetician who can perform a glycolic peel on their skin. It will help!! :)

How to deal with oily skin:
- Use a gentle cleanser and try to avoid over-exfoliating (as this can irritate your skin and increase oil production)
- toners can help to dry up your oil!
- get a facial lotion that is oil-free
- aim for a matte foundation, then be sure to set it with a powder!
my favorite products that help to control oil:
clean & clear oil absorbing sheets (there are also a ton of different brands,...

Anonymous asked: okay, so this really isn't a DIY question but I saw Katy's post about how cheap shampoos and conditioners aren't good for your hair... which I guess I've kind of known about, like how alcohol is drying and how pantene just coats your hair. so my question is.. what hair products DO you like and how can I get them on the cheap? are aussie/treseme good brands are no?

Favorite drugstore products:
I am seriously the pickiest person ever when it comes to makeup and skin care products, I really lean more towards high end makeup and stuff but there are some drug store products that are WAY cheaper, and work just as well if not better in my opinion.
glycerin mixed with 75% water works as a very good overnight moisturizer for your face, you can get vegetable glycerin at whole foods for only a...

coddle asked: hey, Linnea, I just made that honey and sugar lip scrub and my lips feel absolutely incredible! :) I thought I'd ask though-I made a pretty decent sized batch and I was curious, should I refrigerate the leftover scrub for later (like, next week, not too much later) or should I just toss the ingredients and remake when I need it since it's pretty inexpensive to make?

How to grow hair long and healthy:
Although there is no way to make your hair “grow faster” you can take the steps to prevent breakage.
Whether you are trying to grow your hair out from a bad haircut or just dying it too much so its fried as shet, these things will definitely help.
1.)- STOP dying your hair! This causes SO much breakage and damage. You should ONLY be dying your hair at home if you are going DARKER!...

Olive oil
OKAY so I watch a lot of beauty videos and when people make their DIY face masks and stuff they usually use extra virgin olive oil….
Personally, I hate olive oil more than anything. I feel like it doesn’t moisturize it just sits on top of your skin and makes your pores look HUGE. It doesn’t clog your pores because the molecules are too big to get into them and actually clog it,...

Vanilla orange sugar scrub
What you’ll need:

-1/2 tsp of a good vanilla extract (one that doesn’t smell too alcohol-y / mexican vanilla extract is my favorite for the smell)
