| How to Show a Girl You Like Her on Snapchat Posted: 07 Nov 2021 04:00 PM PST Snapchat is a great app for having a little fun, but how can you use it to show a girl you like her without seeming like a creep? This article lists lots of helpful strategies, starting with fun message ideas, moving on to advice on message frequency, and finishing with tips on asking her out when the time is right. So snap out of your worries and let that girl know how you feel! [Edit]Snap a picture with a cheesy joke caption. - This is a great Snapchat icebreaker, especially if you're a bit nervous. Take some of the pressure off yourself by making a joke that's deliberately lame! Take a pic from everyday life, add a punny or just plain silly caption, and snap it to her. Personalize the caption with a question or an "inside joke" element so she knows you made it with her in mind.[1]
- For example, you might combine a pic of a cat looking super frazzled with a caption like, "Me after chem lab today. You?"
- Or, you might snap a pic of a bowl of fruit with a caption like, "Orange you glad math class was canceled today?"
[Edit]Spell out a colorful, fun message with everyday props. - Add a flirtatious hint without being too forward at this point. Compare the following: typing "What's up?" as a caption, versus snapping a pic of "What's up?" spelled out on a bunch of colorful balloons. The second option shows you're taking the time to be more creative, which drops a big hint that you're interested. At the same time, though, it's more fun and playful so you don't seem pushy.[2]
- If you can use a prop that you know she likes, all the better! For instance, if you know Froot Loops is her favorite cereal, spell out your message with it.
[Edit]Cue up a song she likes in your snap. - Use it as background music to a video of you doing something fun. Just start the song, wait for the part you want to highlight, then capture your video snap. You might record yourself dancing to the music, playing with your super-cute dog, or doing something completely unrelated and a little wacky—use your imagination! Show off your fun side while also pointing out that you're paying attention to what she likes.[3]
- If you don't know what music she likes, use a song you like—it's still a good way to reveal your fun side.
[Edit]Pair a smoldering selfie with a silly caption. - Drop a big hint without making your move quite yet. Take some time to set up and execute your perfect selfie with the right lighting, background, filters, and your best "hey girl" look going.[4] Instead of worrying about coming up with the perfect caption right now, though, just add something funny and maybe completely random. She'll be able to read between the lines!
- You might, for instance, pair a "come hither" look with a goofy caption like, "I really like hashbrowns," "I can't see without my glasses," or "Hmm, what's that smell?"
[Edit]Send fun snaps every few days to build a connection. - Try an every-other-day schedule so you don't overwhelm her. It's always hard to tell whether you're being pushy by messaging her too much or playing it too cool and seeming uninterested. While you're building up a connection with the girl you like, sticking to an every-other-day frequency is a sensible middle-of-the-road approach. It's often enough that she won't forget about you, but not so often that she'll find you too aggressive or too desperate.[5]
- If you already have a relationship with this girl but want to turn it into something more, just stick to your current snapping frequency—so long as it's at least every-other-day. Don't start bombarding her with messages to try to show your romantic interest.
[Edit]Follow her lead when responding to her snaps. - Don't get overly flirtatious or seductive if she's keeping it casual. Snapchatting a girl, just like any form of communication, is all about reading her signals. If she snaps you silly comments or casual observations, stick to that arena while looking for subtle opportunities to be flirtatious. But, if she's the one getting flirtatious, make sure to keep up!
- Resist the urge to "play hard to get" by ignoring her messages. When she snaps you, snap her back—maybe not always immediately, but in a timely manner.
- At the same time, don't take a single snap from her as an invitation to send a barrage of snaps her way.[6]
[Edit]View her snap stories fairly quickly to show interest. - Keep up with what she's doing even if she's not snapping you directly. Unlike private messages, Snapchat stories are posted for all to see—but they vanish after 24 hours. She'll know whenever someone—like you—views her latest story, so be sure to check out each new posting before it disappears. But try not to view every story the second it's posted, or you may give off stalker vibes.[7]
- To further confirm your interest, snap her directly in response to some—but not all—of her story posts. Just make a funny little comment or a nice, quick compliment.
[Edit]Send her a message when she views one of your stories. - Make the most of this sign that she's interested in you. Just like she knows when you view her story posts, you'll know when she views yours. When this happens, wait maybe a few hours—again, don't act immediately like you're obsessed with her—and snap her a direct message. Let her know you're particularly glad that she saw what you posted.[8]
- You might snap a straightforward message like, "Was hoping you'd see that last post."
- Or, you might drop a bigger hint: "My stories aren't stories 'til you see them."
[Edit]Snap an event flyer and ask her to go with you. - Try this as a low-pressure way to ask for a date. Find a poster or flyer for a concert, art exhibit, flea market, sporting event, or something else that interests both of you. Snap a pic with a little caption like, "Saw this and thought of you...want to go together?" It all feels very spur-of-the-moment, even if you had it all planned out![9]
- This is a good option if you're not ready to straight-up ask her out on a date. If she gives anything other than a very clear "no," such as a "sorry, can't because…," you can keep working toward asking her out.
[Edit]Draw a stick figure of her with you as a date invite. - Show her that you're fun, creative, and thinking of her all at once. Get a pic of yourself doing something fun that both of you enjoy—it could be anything from shooting hoops to making crepes. Before snapping it her way, sketch in a little doodle—the more stick figure-ish the better in this case!—with a "you" label and a quick invite like "tomorrow?"[10]
- Don't try to make a super-accurate drawing or paste in a pic of her. You can go from "fun" to "creepy" territory quickly!
[Edit]Send a straightforward message asking her out. - It can be nerve-wracking, but the simplest option is often best. Yes, Snapchat gives you all kinds of ways to be funny, witty, and flirty, but it can't ask this girl out for you! When you're ready to make your move, cut back some on the fun features and snap her a date request. Keep it simple and straightforward: "Want to go out for dinner tomorrow nite?" or "Would you like to go to the concert with me on Friday?"[11]
- You might be nervous to go out on a limb and ask her out directly, but at least you'll know where you stand with this girl you like. And think of how awesome you'll feel if she says yes!

| How to Remove Buildup from Color Treated Hair Posted: 07 Nov 2021 08:00 AM PST There are so many products, hacks, and tricks out there for cleaning color-treated hair that it can be hard to know what works and what doesn't. The good news is that there a few tried-and-true methods you can start with to get those luscious locks looking and feeling great again. It can be challenging to remove buildup without stripping color, but we'll walk you through the gentler solutions before working up to the rougher stuff. Since buildup can strip color on its own, it's definitely worth addressing this. Here's everything you need to get that buildup out of your hair! [Edit]Stick with color-safe products. - From shampoo to styling gel, make sure the label mentions color. There are color-safe variations of basically every product out there, so if your goal is to preserve color, stick with brands and items designed specifically to protect color-treated hair. If you aren't sure which products are ideal for your hair texture and color, ask your stylist for recommendations![1]
- This is especially important when it comes to your shampoo and conditioner, since those are the two items you're probably using the most often.
[Edit]Wash with clarifying shampoo to cleanse buildup. - In the vast majority of cases, this will be enough to remove any buildup. Purchase a clarifying shampoo designed for color-treated hair and wash your hair according to the instructions on the label.[2] Once you've rinsed the clarifying shampoo out, condition your hair the same way you normally would.[3]
- This is hands down the best way to deal with buildup, regardless of what's causing it. Regular clarifying shampoo can strip color though, so make sure you use a color-safe version!
- So long as the impact on the color is minimal, you should be able to do this once a week. Avoid using clarifying shampoo more than that, though.[4]
[Edit]Try an apple cider vinegar wash for a natural option. - This is a riskier alternative to clarifying shampoo, but it may work. Some people have success with apple cider vinegar, while others find that it strips color in some cases. If you don't want to use clarifying shampoo, apple cider vinegar will remove buildup.[5] Hop in the shower, shampoo the same way you normally would, and then mix of apple cider vinegar with of water. Massage the mixture into your hair and leave it for 5 minutes before rinsing and conditioning.[6]
- Apple cider vinegar has the potential to irritate skin. If you feel a burning sensation on your scalp or you have any kind of reaction to the vinegar, rinse it out immediately.
[Edit]Rinse with club soda to remove buildup from tap water. - Tap water contains minerals that can lead to buildup, so rinse them out. Every time you wash your hair with tap water, the minerals from the tap get left behind in your hair (chlorine and magnesium are the big culprits here). To rinse those minerals out after showers and washes, bend over a sink and pour club soda through your hair. This will wash out any buildup before it has time to settle in your hair.[7]
- You may be able to use distilled water instead of club soda if you prefer.[8]
- Rinsing tap water out of your hair is especially important if your buildup is partially caused by hard water (tap water with a high mineral content).[9] If you notice crusty, white deposits around your sinks and drains, you probably have hard water where you live.[10]
[Edit]Try a baking soda scrub for a rougher option. - Baking soda will get buildup out, but it may strip some of that color. Baking soda is a strong cleanser, which makes it great if you're struggling to remove buildup. Due to its strength, this may strip some of your hair's color though, so beware. Use 1-part baking soda and 2-parts water to create a thick liquid. Work the watered-down baking soda into your hair, leave it in for a 10-20 minutes, and then rinse it out.[11]
- You can also add pure baking soda to your hair when it's dry and comb it out. This may be your best bet if the buildup is caused by oil.
[Edit]Use a micellar product to soften colors and remove buildup. - Micellar water-based buildup products work wonders, but they remove color. In the event that you either used too much dye or you are actively trying to soften the shade of your hair's color, grab a buildup breaking product that contains micellar water. Micellar water is super good when it comes to culling buildup, but it will definitely strip a shade or two out of your hair's color. Follow the instructions on the product's label to clean your hair.[12]
- Micellar water is a popular ingredient in the popular French-girl skincare routine, so make sure that the product you buy is designed for hair and not skin.
- Micellar water is basically super cleanser. It works by attracting and suffocating dirt and oil, which makes it perfect for removing product buildup in your hair.[13]
[Edit]Make sure all of your products are sulfate-free. - Hair products that contain sulfates will strip the color from your hair. It may be tempting to use shampoos or products that make your hair feel super clean, but sulfate-based products are going to remove all of that beautiful color you're trying to preserve! Always read the label before you purchase a product to ensure that you aren't buying something with sulfates in it.[14]
[Edit]Clean your hair brush to avoid reintroducing buildup. - All of that product and oil in your hair ends up in your brush. Keep the bristles clean to avoid reintroducing all the buildup you remove back into your hair. There are a variety of ways to do this, but the easiest way to clean your brush is to use a little warm water and shampoo to get the brush wet, and then use a toothbrush to scrub in between the bristles. Rinse the brush off and let it air dry when you're done.[15]
- If you have naturally oily hair, the buildup in your hair may be sebum—an oil your body naturally produces. Brushing regularly and keeping a clean hairbrush is one of the best ways to solve this particular type of buildup.[16]
- Doing this at least once a month should help keep your hair brush clean.
- A brush that has a mix of boar bristles and nylon fibers is going to be your best bet if you want to protect your hair color since those materials are the best at spreading natural oils out evenly along each hair's shaft.[17]
[Edit]Take cooler showers to preserve the color when washing. - Heat will strip color, but you have to wash to remove buildup. This is definitely one of those "round peg with a square hole" situations. However, you can circumvent this obstacle just by changing the temperature of the water. By using the coldest temp you can stand, you won't accidentally strip the color when you're removing buildup from your hair.[18]
- Generally speaking, heat of any kind is not going to be great for your hair—especially if it's dyed or color-treated. Cut back on the flatiron/curling iron usage, and always set your hair dryer to the lowest heat setting available.
- You can use heat protectant on your hair to keep the heat from damaging that, but the more products you put in your hair, the more buildup you'll run into.
[Edit]Add a dash of dye to your conditioner. - If you're washing to remove buildup regularly, the dye may fade. The solution here is simple. Add of your hair dye to your sulfate-free conditioner. If you got a professional color treatment, ask your stylist or colorist to do this for you. Every time you wash your hair with shampoo, follow it up with your tinted conditioner to refresh the color while you care for your hair.[19]
- You stylist may even recommend a pre-tinted conditioner for you. If you buy one of these conditioners, don't add any extra dye to it.
[Edit]See your stylist if you can't fix the problem. - If your hair could use some love, go see your stylist! Product buildup in color treated hair can be tricky to fix depending on what the buildup is composed of. If you accidentally strip some of the color, a stylist or colorist will be able to fix it. If you can't get the buildup out, your stylist will be able to identify the problem and fix it for you.[20]
- Color-treated hair often requires a follow-up appointment every now and then anyway, so it may simply be time for your regular touch up!
