Article: You should start with a small amount. You can always take off more if you still think it's too long. A good amount to start with, unless the boy has really long hair, is probably about an 1/8th of an inch. When using scissors you should go slowly and not cut off too much too fast. Make sure that the hair is dry when you cut it. Cutting wet hair is more challenging, and cutting with dry hair will ensure that you know exactly what it will look like while you're cutting it. This cut determines how long you want the rest of the hair to be. Comb the front most part of the boy's hair back, about enough to hold between two fingers, with the comb and then transfer the hair to between the index and middle fingers of your nondominant hand. Try to make the cut even, but you can always go back later and trim unruly hairs. This should leave the front-most section of the boy's hair a little bit shorter than the rest. Include a little bit of the guide cut to show you how much hair to cut. Continue this process, working back towards the back of the head. Always include a little bit of the cut you just did to guide you. You should be able to make your way all the way to the back of the head with this process. If you are cutting with scissors on the sides, too, use this same method. Start from the front and move backwards, using your guide cut. However, if you would rather make your guide cut in the back, you can also start in the back and gradually move to the front. Always grab a little bit of the cut you just did in your new cut so that you know how much you should cut off. Fold the right ear down (or have him hold it down for you) as you cut around the ear, as if you were tracing it. Repeat on the left side. This is an alternative to using the clippers.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Think about how much hair you want cut off from the boy's head. Choose your guide cut. Cut the hair straight across, parallel to your fingers. Pull back the section of hair right behind the front. Cut around the ears.

Problem: Article: It's important in this digital age to have a website for your band where record producers and fans can learn more about you and hear clips of your music. If possible, use your band's name as the url for your website. For example, if your band's name is Funky Blue Cats, you should make your website www.funkybluecats.com. It's a good idea to have your music for sale on your website. You can sell mp3 downloads or CDs to ship to fans. If your band's name is already being used as a website, consider changing your name so you can get the url with your band's name. Put your website on all promotional material to drive traffic to your site. The more unique visitors you get to your website, the higher up on search engines your site will be. In addition to a website, you should use social media and other websites to promote your band. This will give you an outlet to actively promote your band online and get information about your gigs out there. Your band should use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Soundcloud, Bandnation, Reverb, Spotify, and any other site where you can get your name and music out. Film recordings of songs or practice sessions to give people a taste of your music and the vibe of your band. People will be more likely to listen to the music online if they have something to watch, too. Consider doing a cover song and uploading it onto a well known site like YouTube to get lots of views. This will get your band's name out and then drive people to your other videos of original music. Keep a newsletter for your band. Post your newsletter on your website and then link to it on all of your social media accounts. The newsletter should talk about what your band is up to and give insight into every step of your career to create a long lasting relationship with the fans. A great way to get your band's name out there is to get people using and wearing items with your information on it. You should be using your own promo material as much as possible as well. Have t-shirts made with your band's name, logo, album art, website, or other contact information on it, and give the shirts to friends, family, and fans to wear. Give away promo material at all of your gigs. Stickers, pens, artwork such as small prints of your album cover, or magnets are great examples of items to hand out. Don't underestimate the old promotional technique of putting up flyers all over town. When you have a gig coming up, create a flyer telling everyone when and where your band will be performing. Put the flyers up all over the town you'll be performing in. Make sure you get permission to put the flyers up before you do so, otherwise they may be taken down. Ask stores to let you put flyers up in their windows or on their door. Put flyers in restroom stall doors. People will be forced to look at your flyer while they're in there. Think of your fanbase and put flyers up in places you think they'll visit frequently. Ask your fans for help with distributing the flyers. Upload the file of the flyer to your website for fans to download and print out. College radio or small market local stations are the best bet for trying to break into getting play time. Send a demo and follow up with the station by asking them if they will play your music on the air. Successful bands obviously know how to get noticed, and they may have great advice for your group. By associating your band with a more popular one, the exposure may gain you some fans and make industry professionals take notice. See bands similar to yours play on a regular basis. Especially when your band is just starting out, local bands with big followings can be a major asset. While there, strike up a conversation with your fellow musicians between sets. If you hit it off, mention your band and give them your contact info. Ask to open for bigger acts. Once you get to know other bands in your local scene, you can start asking to open for them. This tactic is great for when you're having trouble booking your own gigs. Opening for major touring artists usually comes down to local contacts. Before you open for a major band, you'll have to establish a solid local reputation and a respectable fanbase. Once that happens, start hitting up local industry contacts to find out who is putting together a show you're interested in opening for and simply ask to do so. Depending on circumstances, you can even try contacting the band directly. As you become better established, booking agents will likely begin to approach you with opportunities to open.
Summary: Get a website. Promote yourself online. Give away promotional material. Use flyers. Send your demo to radio stations. Get help from established bands.
