How to Go from Kinky to Straight Hair

Georgia Salon Gives Us Some Tips

You’ve mastered au naturel and curly hair. Another style for your bag of tricks: the straight look.

In this video, stylist Liz Owusu shows her method for going from kinky to straight — using all-natural products. It takes awhile, so we suggest watching a movie while you’re straightening. The bonus: It’s a major arm workout.

If you’re in New York City, visit Georgia at 89a East Houston Street, between Elizabeth Street and Bowery (646-827-2428 or georgiany.com).

When Should I Follow a Guy on Twitter?

Ask the Office Guy No. 47

You may remember our office guy, Dan (exceedingly handsome, answered burning relationship questions). Well, his dog, Puppy, was spotted by a talent agent, and they moved to Tinseltown.

So we embarked on a manhunt. Introducing the new and improved Ask the Office Guy series, in which we approach (adorable) men who work at our favorite companies and ask for their advice.

First up is Mashable’s editorial director, Matt Silverman. Today he tackles three hard-hitters: When should I follow a new guy on Twitter (above)? What are the red flags when dating online? And, finally, are you single?

We were so smitten with Silverman that we got him to film three more videos, which we’ll publish in our next installment.

After those, we’ll have guys from Foursquare, Yahoo, and who knows.

Maybe even a few from Hollywood.

Should I Date a Guy with a Rattail?

Ask the Office Guy No. 46

Looks aren’t everything. Tell that to the girl who just went on a first date with a great guy who has a rattail straight off the NKOTB Summer Magic Tour 1990.

This sounds like a dilemma for our token male editor and advice giver, Dan. In today’s Ask the Office Guy video, he decides whether she should cut it off (literally and figuratively) or learn to love the long, hairy tuft.

While Dan was at it, we got him to answer more whipsawed reader-submitted questions: What should I do if a guy I went out with tweeted “can’t wait to tap this broad” while we were on the date? How do I get my BF to stop talking incessantly while he drives? And, finally, would you, Dan, like to be five times larger to please her (a vague one submitted anonymously)?

As always, his answers are poignant and ridiculous. What can we say?

He’s got the right stuff.
