Article: This simple and practical style is perfect for work or hot days when you want your hair off your face and neck. Take advantage of your full curls to create a high, oversize bun. Make a high ponytail. Rather than using a brush, smooth curls and align any bumps with your fingers. Secure the ponytail with a hair elastic. Pull your ponytail through a hair donut so that the donut sits at the base of the ponytail. If you don't have a hair donut, you can use an old (clean) sock: cut the toes off and roll the sock in on itself to create a donut shape. The donut/sock pads out your bun for added fullness. Tilting your head forward, fan your ponytail around the donut and start twisting your hair around it. Make sure you've covered the donut completely. Tuck the ends of your ponytail into the donut and secure with a few bobby pins. Spritz with hairspray if you want a little extra hold. This pretty style is incredibly easy, yet pretty enough to wear to formal occasions. Place circular headband over your hair so that it sits about an inch (2.5 cm) behind your hairline. Tuck your hair into the band at the base of your head, rolling the band under a few times until the hair is secure. Add a few bobby pins to hold the style in place. If you're looking to put your curls in a fancier style, this look is elegant yet fast to create. The face is framed by a Dutch braid, created by crossing strands under each other (as opposed to the French braid, where strands go over each other). At the base of the head, your hair gathers into twists that are pinned into place. Create a deep side part. Grasp a 1 inch (2.5 cm) section of hair where the part begins and divide the section in three. Begin the braid by weaving the sections under each other (rather than over, as in a French braid). Work your way along the hairline (towards the ear farther from the part), adding small sections from your hairline to the braid as you go. Continue until you reach your ear. When you reach your ear, finish the braid without adding any more hair to it. Secure with an elastic (a clear one is preferable). Twist the braid into a bun behind your ear and secure with pins. Finally, twist sections of the remaining hair into knots around the braid bun, using pins to secure them. The sections should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) so that the resulting knots are all roughly the same size as the braid bun. Ponytails are a perfect fix when you need to get your hair off your face. That said, you might get tired of wearing the same style day in, day out. Try variations on the theme: Make a roll ponytail. With rolled-in sides, this is a graceful take on the classic. Create a french ponytail, a cascade of half-ponytails joined together. You can also try putting the whole ponytail into ringlets. Pull the hair back when still wet, divide the ponytail into 1 inch (2.5 cm) sections, and twist them around your finger. Add a small dollop of gel to shape and hold the ringlets. Let it dry naturally or use a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment. These are great for curly hair because they only require twisting, and the hair doesn't develop bumps or need to be separated as with a normal braid. Pigtails, a single braid, or a half-up style looks great.

Article: A dimmer switch allows you to control the brightness of a light fixture. Use a marker or colored tape to uniquely label each wire so you can tell them apart. Mark the wire connected to the brass screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the brass terminal as the "hot" wire. Mark the wire connected to the silver screw terminal or to the hole on the same side as the silver terminal as the "neutral" wire. Finally, mark the green or copper wire connected to the green screw terminal (on the other side of the switch from the brass and silver terminals) as the "grounding" wire. The switch may have either screw terminal connectors, which will be located along the side of the switch, or push-in connector holes, which will be located at the back of the switch. If the wires are connected to screw terminals, turn each screw counter-clockwise with a screwdriver to loosen and slide the wire out with a pair of needle-nose pliers. If the wires are connected to push-in connectors, the holes that the wires are pushed into will typically have a small slot beneath the hole. Insert a small screwdriver into the slot and push forward to release the wire. Most dimmer switches come with wires already attached. You will see two black lead wires and one green grounding wire. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each to expose the wire. Pair one of the black lead wires to the black hot wire in the switch box. Pair the other black lead wire to the white neutral wire in the switch box. Pair the green grounding wire with the bare or green grounding wire in the switch box. Wrap the ends of the paired wires together and secure with a wire nut. You should see the word "top" written on the switch indicating the side of the switch that should be vertically oriented toward the top. Do not over tighten the switch plate, since it may crack under too much pressure. Go back to the new switch and flip it on and off several times to ensure it's in working order.

Mark each wire in the switch box. Disconnect the wires from the old switch. Connect the wires to the new switch. Double-check that the switch is properly oriented. Carefully push the wires back into the box and then push the switch up against the edge of the box and tighten the mounting screws into place. Replace the switch plate and tighten the screws into place. Return to the breaker box and turn the power to the light switch back on.
