Q: Check your hair every couple of minutes using a mirror to watch the lightening process. Your hair will experience several color changes, going from orange to yellow to pale blonde when you have dark brown hair.  Bleach normally takes at least 30 minutes to work, but it will likely take more than 1 session to go from black to blonde. Bleaching black hair to pale blonde will take a lot longer than other hair colors. The amount of time that it takes for your hair to reach pale blonde will depend on your original hair color, and the type of bleach that you are using. The instructions for the bleach kit will give you an accurate length of time that the process will take. Once your hair has reached pale blonde, thoroughly rinse the bleach out straight away. Cold or lukewarm water works best. Make sure that the water is still cold or lukewarm, and wash your hair with shampoo and then conditioner. Natural or baby shampoos and conditioners are ideal because they are very gentle on your hair, which is necessary after bleaching.   Shampoo and conditioner which is natural and specifically designed to hydrate and moisturise your hair are also good choices. Cold or lukewarm water is best because it closes the pores and leaves your hair shiny when it’s dry. Bleach weakens your hair, so this will help to keep it protected while it’s drying. Never rub your hair with the towel, as this could weaken it further. Don’t comb your bleached hair until it is fully dry.
A: Monitor your hair until it has turned pale blonde. Rinse the bleach out of your hair. Shampoo and condition your hair. Dry your hair by wrapping it in a towel.

While being approachable and friendly may get your crush to notice you, they may be hesitant to be your friend, or let you be close if you're rude, cold, or stand-offish.  Try to overcome your shyness by at least having a short conversation.  Consider compliment your crush. Or talk about something that you both are doing. Consider saying things like, "I like your shirt," or "You play the guitar well." Be presentable by taking care of your body.  Have clean hair and nice clothes.

You may be sending the wrong message to more than just your crush. For girls, you don't need a ton of makeup or high fashion clothes.  But having a presentable and healthy appearance is good.  Consider wearing a mild perfume. For guys, avoid looking like you just rolled out of bed.  Make sure to have clean outfits. Consider wearing cologne. Your crush is likely someone you know, but aren't close friends with yet.  Like anyone new, it may lead to something close, or not.  Avoid idealizing your crush.  He or she is still a regular person, just like everyone else.   It takes time to develop a new friendship or relationship.  Your crush will not notice your overnight. Realize that your crush may not intentionally be ignoring you.  If it's a large class, school, or workplace, oftentimes you may not notice someone until you interact with them a few times one-on-one.

Q: If you don't know exactly what it was you did wrong or how you can rebuild a feeling of trust, getting your things back can be difficult.  Although it can be tough, talking with your parents about the problem can be the best way forward.  After you learn what the problem is by sharing your thoughts and feelings, you can take direct steps to rebuild trust and get your things back.  Don't be afraid to ask your parents why you are in trouble.  Say something like "I understand that I did something wrong, but I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with it." It's okay to share your side of things with your parents and honestly talk about how you feel. Having an honest and civil discussion with your parents can be a great first step to show maturity and rebuild trust. Even if your parents are mad, avoid yelling at them or speaking with any kind of sarcastic tone. Showing an understanding of what you did wrong and how it affected trust between you and your parents can be a good idea.  You could say something like "I know that sneaking out last night was wrong and dangerous.  I'm sorry for doing it and I want to help make things better." If you don't feel like there is a clear way forward, rebuilding trust can seem impossible.  Knowing exactly what you can expect from your good behavior can help you know how to act, what to do, and how you can get your stuff back.  Ask your parents for some details about when and how you can have your privileges back.  Ask your parents what behavior they expect from you in the future.  You might say  "I want make up for what I did.  What can I do to show that?" Ask your parents when you can expect your things or privileges restored.  Try asking something like "How long can I expect to wait before I get my things back?" It can be pretty obvious when you've done something to make your parents upset.  However, this doesn't always make it easier when you're trying to do what's right.  Asking your parents to let you know when your doing the right thing can help rebuild trust and demonstrate that you are trying to make things right. You could ask your parents something like "I want to do the right thing and apologize for what I did.  It would be nice to hear when I do the right thing.  I think this will help me focus on what to do next time." Restoring trust between you and your parents won't happen overnight.  Anytime trust is broken, it will take some time before it is restored.  Don't be in a rush to rebuild trust and get your stuff back faster.  For now, focus on doing the right thing in the future and avoid doing anything that might make the situation worse.
A:
Talk to your parents. Have your parents make their expectations clear. Ask for some positive feedback. Take your time.
