Go from Ugly Girl to Glamor Girl
Some days girls feel unattractive. Often the prettiest girl in the world will wake up, and say "Bleh, what happened to me?" Others are born unattractive, but have no fear. This guide is here!

Steps
- Have the look, the style and the attitude. Otherwise you could be pretty, behave nicely and still look like an unattractive person because of your clothing and makeup choices, or have great style, a great look, and still be unattractive because you are immature, rude or obnoxious.
- Get healthy. Many stars have bad bone structure, crooked features or an overlarge nose, and still manage to look like a reasonably attractive person because they are fit and glowing with health. If you are anorexic, bulimic, or exercising too much, you'll really look unhealthy and you won't have the look. If you're consuming 5,000 calories a day, never exercising, and/or letting yourself go, then you will be unhealthy and thereby unglamorous as well. Go on an ideal weight website, and calculate your ideal weight for you age and height. You should be within 12 pounds of this weight. If not, ask a doctor whether or not yours is a healthy weight.
- Consider losing a few pounds. If you are more than 9 pounds above your healthy weight, you may want to do something about it. The trick is not doing too much dieting or exercising excessively. Limit yourself to a maximum of two hours of exercise a day, but you probably only need around 15-60 minutes. Further, eat at least 1,300 calories a day if you don't play a sport or 1,700 if you do. Eat what you think is appropriate. Weight watchers is a good diet plan, but only your doctor can prescribe something that is 100% likely to work for you.
- Alternatively, consider adding some weight. If you are more than 9 pounds under your ideal weight, try consuming more healthy fats, like bananas and fat which is found in meats (not fast food meats or sausages; ham and chicken work). Try exercises that maintain flexibility rather than those designed to burn fat. If you play a sport, make sure to have enough protein and carbs.
- Get great skin by washing twice a day with a mild soap or cleanser. Remove all make up at night, drink at least 6 glasses of water a day and try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Moisturize nightly and apply sunscreen daily. If you have acne, try an acne medication and change your pillowcase every night so you don't re-expose yourself to bacteria.
- Get great hair by using both conditioner and shampoo. Don't let your hair get greasy. Wash at least 3 times a week. Get a haircut to cure split ends, and try something fun and flirty. If your hair is just shoulder length go for a cut short style. If it's longer, try rocking long hair! Don't flat iron or blow dry often. It's terrible for your hair and it creates frizz. If you hair is flat use a teasing comb. Too full, use a sleek and shine serum.
- Get great eyes by getting enough sleep. If you need glasses, try getting cute and chic frames or go with contacts.
- To be stylish, your clothes must suit you! If you're curvy, emphasize your curves and your waist. Cinch your waist. If you're not curvy, don't wear clothes that will bag up in those areas. You can rock almost anything if you are skinny and flat. If you're skinny with curves, you can rock anything at all. If you're plumper, and without curves wear clothes that cinch at the waist to give the illusion of curves. Don't be afraid to wear skirts. Wear tops that have ruffles along the bust. If you're plumper with curves, also look for clothes that cinch at the waist and try curvy cut jeans or skirts that cinch at the waist. If you a medium without curves, you can get away with wearing lots of clothes. Avoid very low cut tops and curvy cut jeans. Try straight leg or skinny jeans. Try ruffled tops, and belts at your hips.
- Wear timeless clothes and trendy accessories. If you have to chose between buying something classic or something trendy, go with classic. Don't have wild, all over the place outfits. Try not to layer to much. It looks sloppy. Wear clothes that are appropriate, and if you're skirt is slightly inappropriate, compensate by wearing an appropriate top or vice versa.
- Wear heels every once in a while, even to school, because as long as the rest of your outfit is appropriate, they'll make you look, tall, girly, and sophisticated. They also make you automatically curvier and skinnier.
- Accessories should not be extreme. If your outfit is wild, try for no accessories or only one. Chanel was wise to say, "Take off one piece before you leave the house." If you're only wearing a shirt, bottoms, and shoes, than you can discount this. The point is, if your wearing 4 accessories, lose the one that you least like or that clashes most. Try to go with at most, 2 accessories, apart from your handbag. This includes head bands and large scrunchies.
- Have several hairstyles that you can easily do, a plain ponytail isn't one of them. If you must have a ponytail, try a layered ponytail. First pull up the hair around your crown so that your hair is half up. Secure it with a hair band. Next, pull all you hair into one ponytail and secure it with a hairband. By first pulling half up, your ponytail is given a slightly different style, and more volume that will stay. Two braids, half up, and side parted are also some things to try. If your hair is short, try clips or a headband.
- Get the attitude. You should stay true to yourself, but you need to be calm at least 50% of the time. Calm doesn't mean bored or boring. It just means not hyper. You should be able to get excited sometimes, but not all the time. Always try to be friendly and if you don't like someone, at least be polite. Smile a lot, and make people believe that being around you is a fun thing.
- Have at least one talent, and another interest. If it gets too quiet, they can come in handy to talk about or show off. Make sure to also ask people about their talents or interests. Do something really out there like write a book or a movie or go sky-diving or go somewhere exotic, so you can keep people interested always.
- Be able to flirt with guys, but don't do it all the time, and don't flirt with one person so much that they think you like them unless you actually do.
- Always stay true to your friend, your family, your religious beliefs and your personal beliefs even if you now have the powers and beauty to be the next it-girl or mean girl at your school. Follow this guide, and trust me, you'll have no trouble getting the best of both worlds.
Tips
- Clean your room. It burns fat and provides you with a haven in which to get pretty.
- Remember a rule about clothes: just because it's more revealing, doesn't make it prettier. It may be a little sexier for going out, but otherwise, you'll just give yourself a bad image.
- Get motivated with inspirational music.
- When in doubt, smile, and carry yourself well. People will notice.
- Make sure you drink 6 glasses of water a day.
- Keep track of the food you consume.
- Personalize everything. Your lock or workspace, your purse, your room, and even your clothes.
- Remember, you'll always look best at a healthy natural weight no matter what that weight is. I've seen as many plus sized beauties as I have skinny runway girls.
- Stand proudly and confidently, and be happy with yourself.
- If you're in high school try to not overdo the make-up. Make it blend with a light coloured lipstick and mascara. Only wear makeup to school if you think you can get away with it. i.e. will you get detention? Are the teachers less strict on mufti days and the last day of term?
- Always stay true to who you are. Trust me.
Warnings
- Don't try to change in one day. People will be unpleasantly surprised, the results won't last, and you won't reach your full potential.
- Even if you can make 50 boys like you and tail you like a puppy dog, it's unkind, and tiring as well!
- Never act like a snob with your new found powers.
- You might run into jealousy from others. Handle it with pity, dignity, and graciousness.
