INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you use a heated styling tool on your hair, apply a heat-protectant product, like mousse or serum. Put a small amount of the product on your fingers, then lightly coat each strand of hair with the product. Comb through the hair to distribute the heat protectant. Applying even heat throughout the curling process will give you the most consistent results. Make sure your iron is heated to the right temperature before you begin. The temperature you set it to will depend on your hair type: Fine, fragile, or damaged hair should be styled between 250 to 300F (121 to 149C). A temperature of 300 to 350F (149 to 177C) is best suited for hair of medium or average thickness. If you aren't sure where your hair falls, try this setting first. Very thick hair is best curled with a typical flat iron's "high" setting, which is usually between 350 to 400F (177 to 204C). Start by selecting a roughly 12 inch (1.3cm) strand of hair from your bangs. Bring your flat iron up and clamp the strand between the 2 plates. Start with a strand on either the far left or far right. Working in a single horizontal direction will make missing a stray lock less likely. Rotate your wrist outward and away from your face by one half turn so that your hair becomes wrapped around it. Hold the strand's tip with your free hand and gently pull the iron down towards it. Release the iron once you reach the bottom of your bangs. The entire process, from clamping the release, should take about 5 seconds. If you hold the iron in place too long, it may burn your hair or make indentations from the plates on your hair. Only hold the iron in place for 5 seconds. For a natural look, don't pick the same point to clamp down for each strand. Start each curl either slightly higher or lower than its neighbor. Try to make your curls all the same thickness by separating out similarly-sized strands. If you find doing this on the fly difficult, you can always portion out the strands before you start curling and hold them together with bobby pins. Once all of your bangs are in curls, run your fingers through your bangs while twisting your wrist a few times. Finish with a little texturizing spray instead of normal hairspray. If you have naturally straight hair, you probably know that it can be difficult to hold style and volume. Texturizing sprays are great for giving body to fine hair as they are lighter than traditional hairsprays, which can actually weigh curls down. If you're having extra difficulty getting a curl to hold, try ironing again, this time applying some heat-activated mousse to your bangs first.

SUMMARY: Apply a heat-protectant product. Preheat your iron. Clamp the flat iron near your roots. Twist your hair around the style iron to create a curl. Repeat the curl for each strand of hair in your bangs. Tousle and set your bangs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use an electric drill and a small drill bit to do this. You can drill as many or as few holes as you'd like, but try to space them evenly. Make sure that you are drilling all the way through the wood. Can't find any driftwood? Use a branch or a dowel instead. The best type of string to use would be nylon beading thread, fishing line, or beading wire. You will need one length of string for each hole that you made. The strings don't all have to be the same length. Use a tight, double knot, and don't trim off the tail end. For a stronger hold, slip a crimp bead over the knot, and pinch it shut with a pair of pliers. Don't have bells? Use anything else that will make noise when clinked together. Metal charms, shells, and keys would all work great! Make sure to push the first couple of beads through both strands of string so that the tail end from the knot doesn't stick out. You can string the beads randomly or use a pattern. Leave a few inches/centimeters at the other end of the string empty. Consider adding some metal and wood beads for an interesting effect. At this point, take a look at the chime, and decide whether or not you are happy with the length. If something is too long, pull a few beads off. You can make your wind chime look more interesting by varying the lengths. Make sure that the bead is large enough so that it doesn't slip through the hole in the wood. The bead will help keep the string in place. Thread it back through the last couple of beads on your chime, then cut off the excess. Tie the ends of the twine to itself with a knot to secure it. If you'd like something fancier, drill a hole into each end of the driftwood, then insert a small hook. Attach the hooks to a delicate chain.

SUMMARY: Drill some holes into a piece of driftwood. Decide how long you want your chimes to be, then cut your string twice as long. Tie a mini bell to the end of each string. Slip glass beads onto the string. Pull the string through the holes in the driftwood. Thread a large bead onto the string and tie the string around the bead in a tight knot. Pull the string back down the hole. Cut some twine, and wrap both ends around your chime to make the hanger.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll want to cook the entire dip in the oven once assembled to melt the cheese on top and ensure the flavors blend together. That said, the chicken needs to be pre-cooked, so this time in the oven is just to get everything hot. This simply makes it easier to blend into the other ingredients, preventing chunks of cream cheese in some parts of the dip and none in the others. Place it on the countertop 10-15 minutes before cooking to gently warm it. Using the microwave in 10-second bursts, melt the butter. Once you've got the butter in liquid form and well mixed with the hot sauce, move on to the next step. You don't want to cook the butter, just melt it. For less spicy buffalo dip, use only 1/2 cup of buffalo hot sauce. Make sure the chicken is well coated in your buffalo sauce. It is okay if there is extra liquid at the bottom -- this will help coat the cheese. If you are using frozen or cold chicken, mix the chicken and sauce together on the stovetop over medium heat. You only need to heat it until the chicken is warm again. Stir until they are blended together with the sauce. The cheeses should completely coat everything in the bowl. Sample the chicken and adjust the flavor how you see fit, adding more hot sauce to get to your desired heat level, Alternatively, spread the cream cheese into a layer on the bottom of the dish, and instead add 1 cup ranch dressing to the chicken to provide the moisture. This is why you need to save half the cheese, as it will melt into a gooey, delicious topping for your buffalo chicken dip. Everything in the dish is already cooked, so you don't have to worry about anything "finishing." Instead, remove the dish from the oven when it looks good to you. You can also lower the heat to keep the dip warm if you're not yet ready to serve it. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes, as this dip will be molten hot if you're not careful. You're done!.

SUMMARY:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Warm the 8-oz package cream cheese up to room temperature. In a large mixing bowl, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the 3/4 cup buffalo wing sauce. Stir in 2 cups of shredded chicken and toss to coat. Add the package of cream cheese, 1/4 cup bleu cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and stir. Spread the mixture evenly into an oven safe baking dish, then top with the rest of the shredded cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is gold-brown and bubbling. Remove from oven and serve after cooling.
