Article: Before you begin filling out a college application, carefully review all directions. Most applications are similar in that they require the same basic information. However, there may be slight differences from one application to the next. For example, an application for Michigan State may ask you to include three letters or recommendation while an application for University of Michigan may request two. Also, pay attention to a school's preferences regarding online or print applications. While most schools prefer information be turned in online, some schools may still prefer paper applications or want certain parts of the application printed. You want to make sure you're following basic directions correctly before beginning an application. To start, the application will ask for basic contact information. While this is the easiest section to fill out, go slowly. You want to make sure you write everything down accurately. Include your full name, as written on your birth certificate. Nicknames should not be used. For example, if your name is Angelica but you go by "Angie," write Angelica in the name section. Include a phone number and e-mail address if you have one. You should include an e-mail address that sounds professional. For example, the e-mail address angelica.baker@gmail.com is a better choice than bellabear43@hotmail.com. You'll also need to add your social security number. If you do not have this information, ask your parents. If you have not already committed your social security number to memory, now is a good time to do so. You'll need it for a variety of applications and forms down the road. From here, you'll need to fill out some basic academic information. Once again, go slowly to make sure all information is accurate. You will need to include the following: ACT/SAT test scores Your expected graduation date The name of your high school, as well as its address Your current course list Some college applications want to know what your intended major is. If you're unsure what you plan on studying, do not worry. This section is usually designed to help guide the application board as they review your materials. For example, if you're thinking of studying English your science and math SAT section may be of less importance. You can write down a subject your'e considering studying or at least a field of interest. You may have the option to leave the field blank if you're completely unsure. You can also write down a subject you're considering studying. Remember, nothing is set in stone. You can always change your major later.

Read directions carefully. Fill out your basic contact information. Include some basic academic information. Add your intended major, if asked.
Article: Lace wigs will provide you with the most realistic looking results because they have a sheer cap. This allows portions of your scalp to show through the wig when the hair is parted. It also allows you to blend your natural hair with the wig hair. To sew in a wig, your hair will need to be in several tight braids against your head. You can braid your hair yourself, have a friend braid it for you, or get your hair professionally braided. Aim for something similar to cornrows or beehive braids. If your hair is long, then you might need to secure some of the braids using bobby pins so that they will not be visible outside of the wig. You may want to leave a thin strip of hair loose around the hairline to achieve a more natural appearance. However, the rest of your hair should be braided. Next, take your wig and put it on how you intend to wear it. Make sure to line up the edges of the wig with your natural hairline. Also, make sure that the wig is covering your braids. You do not need to use clips, but they can be helpful for ensuring that you are sewing the wig in the right position. They can also help to keep the wig hair out of the way as you sew, which may be necessary for a long hair wig. Place clips as needed to hold the wig and to keep the hair out of the way while you sew. With the wig on your head, it will be easier to see any spots where the lace extends too far past your natural hairline. Look for areas where the lace is extending beyond your natural hairline and then cut these areas. Make sure to cut the wig backing only and avoid cutting any hair that is attached to the wig in other areas. If you've left some of your own hair loose around your hairline, use your fingers or a crochet hook to pull pieces of hair through the holes in the lace. This may help you to achieve a more blended, natural-looking hairline. A hair weave needle is a curved and somewhat blunt needle. Weave thread is also thicker than regular sewing thread. Thread the weaving needle with about 18" (46 cm) of thread and tie a knot in the end of the thread. You can purchase a hair weave needle and thread at a beauty supply store.
