Thanks. My Dad suggested I give her messy hair... but thats a very advanced tutorial that requires a great deal of skill with the clone stamp, I don't think the average good-tutorials kid is going to be able to do it.

If you guys want me to do it, I'll try... but I don't know if I will or not lol. It will be a very long tutorial of me explaining everything.

cool tut, but instead of messing up her hair, maybe just dirty it and take some clumps out showing some mutilated scalp....
