Article: Before you start curling, you want to make sure your hair is prepped and ready. Always use a heat protectant before using styling tools to keep your hair healthy and easy to work with. If you recently washed your hair, make sure it is completely dry before you start to curl. While you're prepping your hair, you want to let your curling iron heat up. A one-inch curling iron is a good, universal size for creating a wavy look. Use the low or medium setting for thin and fine hair. Only use a high setting on your curling iron if you have thick, coarse hair. Anything over 340 degrees Fahrenheit runs the risk of damaging your hair. For Serena's natural look, you'll want to give your hair a slight side part before you begin curling. This will help you curl your hair in a way that looks natural. Before you begin curling, clip up the top layer of your hair. This will make curling more manageable. If you have really thin hair, you might not need to curl the top and bottom layers of your hair separately. You want to start in the back of your head and work forwards. Since Serena has soft waves, you can curl relatively large sections of hair at a time. Curl your hair in a clockwise direction away from your face for the most natural look. Hold the curling iron with the end pointed down at the floor, and curl your hair around it. Instead of clipping the end of your hair in first, wind it around the barrel of the curling iron, and clip the end last. Don't hold your hair on the curling iron for too long. Two to three seconds for each curl should be plenty of time. Once you release a curl, don't touch it. This will give it time to set. After you finish the bottom section of your hair, unclip the top of your hair, and begin curling it. Once you've curled all the sections of your hair, spritz them with a texturizing hairspray. After you spray your hair, spray your hands with the same spray. Run your fingers through your curls to break them up, and create a looser, more natural look. . If you already have naturally wavy hair, you might only need a diffuser to create Serena's effortless-but-chic waves. A diffuser is simply an attachment for the end of your hair dryer. Dampen your hair, or wash it, and let it partially air dry. Apply a hair gel or mousse to enhance your natural hair texture. Don't forget to also work in some heat protectant. Turn your head over, and begin scrunching up the ends of your hair until it is completely dry. Then, flip your head back over, and run your fingers through your waves. Finish with a texturizing hair spray. Wavy hair is universally flattering, but if you have a long face, you should try to add a slightly more defined curl to the top layer of your hair for volume and roundness.

Article: " Before you start measuring rooms, ensure that the measurements you mark down are consistent. Pick one side of your home to represent your length, and its perpendicular side to be its width. Once you do, stick to this throughout your home, even if the shapes of individual rooms tempt you to switch it up. For example: Hallways tend to be long and narrow, so it seems obvious to denote the longest measurement as its length and the shortest as its width. But if a second hallway meets another at a 90 degree angle, do the opposite to express your measurements consistently from one end of your home to the other. Once you decide on which side of your house is the length and which is the width, measure each room in that order. Measure the length first with a tape measure and mark that number down on your diagram. Then do the same with the room's width. Measuring each room's dimensions in the same order will ensure that your notes remain consistent as you move from room to room. Say you're carpeting a bedroom and you want to include the closet. Anticipate the floor area in the closet to require a separate piece of carpeting for installation. Measure the length and width of the bedroom by itself, then repeat inside the closet. Expect perfectly square and rectangular rooms to be the easiest to measure, since you only need to take two measurements. However, other rooms may follow a different shape (or have permanent fixtures that take up floor space and create a new shape). In this case, break the room up into smaller areas and measure each individually. For instance, if you have an L-shaped room, break it into two areas. Start with the length of one area, and then measure its width. Then do the same with the remaining floor space. Now say two sets of cabinets face each other from opposite walls in a square room. This transforms the floor area a T- or H-shape. Measure the length and width of the floor space between the cabinets. Repeat with the remaining areas. Avoid mistakes. Double-check your work by measuring each room a second time before moving on to the next. If you find that you made a goof the first time around, correct your diagram if you already recorded the incorrect measurement. Always use a pencil to mark your diagram so you can erase mistakes. This will make your corrections easier to read. This in turn will minimize the risk of reading the wrong information when you tally up your totals. Don't worry about measuring your stairs, even if you plan on carpeting them. Expect the material needed for these to vary depending on a number of different factors. For now, just forget about them and worry about the rest of your house. Then, when you start fielding bids from installers, ask each for their own estimate regarding your stairs.
