INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can rent a drum sander from any equipment rental facility. Consider renting a floor sander from a local hardware store; consider borrowing a sander from a friend or neighbor. Get the 180-grit pads (180 grits per inch), if you have a choice. If you are re-finishing old floors, start with the 80 grit pads, and be thorough. Gently lower it into contact with the floor once it's begun to spin. Start with 20- to 60-grit sandpaper. You will end the project with sandpaper between 80- and 120-grit. Practice sanding an area that won't be visible when the furniture is replaced. This will avoid making any noticeable errors. Sand along the grain of the wood, and overlap each pass by an inch (2.54cm) or two (5.08cm) so that you don't miss a spot. The grain is the natural flow of the wood the fibrous lines that hold the wood together. Planks are usually cut so that the grain lines flow down the length of the board. Sanding by machine requires that the machine sands with the grain of the wood. Sanding on the bias will destroy the wood's appearance, and you may find yourself shopping for carpet. Finish up the edges with a handheld power sander. Use a smaller, handheld sander to tidy up the areas that the electric sander might have missed--especially the edges of the room, or any part of the floor that's at all obstructed. Most hardwood floors can be sanded up to four times. Clean the floor thoroughly before beginning the next round of sanding: vacuum the dust, and wipe down the floor with a dry cloth. Vacuum the floor, then wipe it with a dry cloth. If you're going to stain your floor, you'll need to make sure that there's no remaining sawdust that can obstruct the stain.

SUMMARY: Use an electric drum sander to prepare the floor. Tilt the machine back when you start it. Begin sanding in the middle of the floor, working outward the edges. Repeat this whole process as many times as necessary, moving on through progressively finer grits of sandpaper. When you're done sanding, make sure that the wood is clean.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This method is great if you are transitioning from relaxed to natural hair as the curls will help conceal the difference between textures. It may also work on relaxed hair and micro box braids as well. For best results, start with stretched hair, like what you'd from a braid-out. If you have long hair, part it into 4 sections first: 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. Secure each section with a hair clip. Grab a 1in (2.5cm) section of hair from the top of your head. Apply just enough water to dampen it, but not so much to make it soaking wet. Smooth your hair down with a bristle brush. Don't get your hair wet if you are starting with micro or box braids. Instead, grab several braids and get ready for the next step. If you want tighter curls or ringlets, start with a 14 to 12in (0.64 to 1.27cm) section instead. Place the end of your hair section against the middle of a Flexi rod. Wrap your hair around the rod until you get to the roots, then fold the ends of the rod inward to secure it. If you are curling braids, stop when you are halfway up your braid. Don't go all the way to the roots. If you want tighter curls or ringlets, use a straw or smaller flexi rod instead. Slide a bobby pin through the straw and hair to secure it. Flexi rods come in different sizes. The thicker the rod, the larger the curl will be. Work around your head, section by section. If you plan on finishing with large, chunky curls, try to keep each strand a consistent size. This is not as important if you plan on separating the curls out into smaller ones, however. Again, if you are curling braids, only curl them halfway up to the roots. If you have to run a few errands or go to sleep, wrap a silk scarf around your head. Not only will this hide the rods with style, but it will also keep them in place while you sleep or run about. If you are in a hurry, you can speed the process up with a hood dryer or a hairdryer. Use a low-heat setting so as not to damage your hair. If you wrapped Flexi rods around braids, dip the wrapped braids into boiled water for 20 to 30 seconds first. Be careful not to burn yourself. Your hair must be completely dry before you take the rods out, otherwise the curls won't stay set. If your hair feels damp, wait longer or dry it with a hairdryer. Once you take the rods out, separate each curl into 2 or 3 individual curls with your fingers. This will give you voluminous hair with less frizz. If you want more volume, comb through your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. This is a great idea for relaxed hair; don't do it with braided hair, however. In most cases, this style is not permanent. If you want the style to go away, simply wash your hair. If you want to keep it, you should still wash your hair as you normally would, then repeat the whole process. If your hair is natural, the curls should maintain their shape until you wash them again. After that, you'll have to redefine them with flexi rods. If your hair is relaxed, the curls may start to lose their shape by the end of the day, just like naturally straight hair. You'll have to repeat the process to get the curls back. If you have braids, the style will be permanent. To straighten your braids, simply dip them in boiled water again, then let them hang straight and loose until they dry.

SUMMARY:
Start with dry, detangled hair. Mist a 1in (2.5cm) section of hair with water. Wrap the hair around a Flexi rod, then bend the ends inward. Repeat this process all over your head. Allow your hair to air-dry. Remove the rods once your hair is completely dry. Repeat the process the next time you wash your hair to maintain the style.
