Problem: Article: Irons require dry hair in order to work effectively and can burn if your hair is wet. You may also wish to apply a heat-protective spray to your hair before using the iron since it can be dangerous the first few times. These sprays can be found at any beauty store. Since heat is what makes the hair curl, it is important that the curling iron is very hot before you start to curl. It should be 200 degrees or above. Do not use a cheap iron. Invest in a more expensive, reliable iron which will provide consistent heat. Go at a consistent pace so that the iron does not have time to burn your hair. Be sure to avoid letting the iron sit in one place too long. Do not let the iron touch your skin since it is very hot. Leave the pin in for around 10-15 minutes. This will help hold the curl in and should increase the time the curls stay in your hair. Apply a liberal amount, maybe around 10-15 sprays. Hairspray is key to holding hair in place and will help curls stay for a long time. Let the hairspray sit in your hair for around 10-15 minutes. Your hair should now be in curls that will last for a long time. You can also then braid this hair before bed if you want to try an alternative method.
Summary: Be sure to dry your hair completely before starting this process. Plug in your curling iron and start to pre-heat it. Split your hair into fairly equal sections and run the curling iron from the base to the tip. After each curl, pin the curl to your head with a hairpin. Once your hair is all pinned up and curled, apply hairspray. Release the pins and your hair. Finished.

Problem: Article: If you want a solid pop of color, try filling a pot with just one type and color of a plant. This adds a bright spot to any area while keeping a clean and uniform look. You can also try filling a pot with one single plant, like a fern, which makes a statement without being over-the-top. Using a single type of plant is great in areas where you want to keep symmetry, like on the sides of a front door or along a fence or walkway. If you want some diversity in your pot while still maintaining the same shape and texture, putting in different colors of the same plant can help add variety. Some flowers like petunias, impatiens, or zinnias will even come in multipacks which makes mixing up colors easy. If you want to mix up your own arrangement, try choosing complementary colors like reds and purples, or blues and yellows. You can also choose similar colors like pinks and reds for a clean look. The most striking arrangements have a variety of each type of plant. For example, a tall plant like a dracaena, a bushy plant like a begonia, and a trailing plant like a morning glory. The most common way to put together this arrangement is to place the tall plant in the middle and surround it with both trailing and bushy plants that are similar in height and width. These arrangements usually contain one focal plant, which could include plants with striking foliage, like a coleus, or trailing plants like the ivy geranium. However, most focal plants should be the largest component in a pot and sit higher than the other plants. Once you've chosen your focal plant you can build the rest of the arrangement around it. When mixing up different kinds of plants for one pot, make sure you keep all the plants with similar watering/sunlight needs together. Don't just mix up the colors, but try to use a variety of foliage as well. Every plant has different leaves with an assortment of textures. Putting together plants with smooth leaves, rough leaves, or even the near artificial look and texture of a rubber plant adds a lot of exciting variation to an arrangement. You can also mix up the sizes of the leaves and the colors.
Summary: Use one type of plant. Try a variation of the same plant. Mix up a little bit of everything. Play with textures.

Problem: Article: Soak the beret in warm water. If your beret has a flash, keep it away from the water as much as possible. Note: Using hot water on the black rim will shrink the beret. If your beret is slightly too large, using hot water is a good idea. If your beret already fits your head snugly, be sure to avoid hot water. Get rid of all the extra water you can by gently wringing out the beret. It will still be damp, but make sure there is no more dripping water. Place the damp beret on your head. Pull the beret up to make it stand. If your organization uses the standard beret shape discussed in Method 1, pull all excess fabric down on the right side of your head by folding it with your hands. Repeat this action several times, making sure the fabric on top is completely smooth. Doing this will keep the beret from shrinking too much and will form the beret more closely to the exact shape of your head. If necessary, you may need to hold the fold down with one hand until it becomes secure. You may take the beret off if it's still slightly damp after a few hours.
Summary:
Wet the beret. Wring out the excess water. Shape the beret. Allow the beret to dry on your head.
