Problem: Article: Bunch up the dry paper and fit it into the shoe. Press the first piece all the way into the toe for maximum absorbency. A "shoe tree" is a branched object inserted into the shoe instead of newspaper, meant to maintain the shoe's shape while it dries. A shoe tree made of cedar is especially effective, since the wood will wick moisture out of the shoe. Rest the shoe on its side or prop it against a wall so the sole of the shoe is exposed to the air while drying. Dry in a warm room, but not next to any heat sources.
Summary: Stuff the shoes with newspaper. Use a cedar shoe tree if possible. Leave on its side at room temperature.

Problem: Article: Hold the weft against the U-shaped bottom part to measure how much you need. Curve it so that it lies against the part. The sides of the weft should land half an inch from your hairline on either side of your head. If the weft extends past your hairline it will be visible when you style your hair in an updo. Use a pair of scissors to cut the weft to size. Double check that the weft is the right length by measuring it against your part once you've cut it. The weft will naturally curl inward, and the glue should be applied to the inside of the curve. Apply it very carefully and slowly in a straight line across the edge of the weft. Take the time to make sure it's applied quite neatly. The glue will come out of the bottle quite thickly. Use a blow dryer to heat the glow and soften it until it's sticky to the touch. It shouldn't be runny or slimy, but when you touch it it should be tacky. Gently touch the glue along the edge of the weft to make sure the entire line of glue is sticky. If the glue is too runny, it could drip into your hair and cause damage. Make sure it's not wet, but just tacky enough to adhere to your hair.
Summary: Measure and cut the first weft extension. Apply binding glue to the weft. Soften the glue with a blow dryer.

Problem: Article: When you choose a song that you'd like to sing a cappella, you'll need to listen to it thoroughly to truly understand everything that's happening in it. Listen to it multiple times, getting a feel for the lyrics, rhythm, and different instruments that all make up the song. Starting with a simple song you know by heart will make it easier to arrange. Look online for the song without instruments by searching for the name of the song plus "vocals only." Most songs have long instrumental solos or parts that just don't work when you're singing it a cappella. Decide which parts of the song you're going to cut and which you're going to keep, making sure you string the sections together so that they flow smoothly. If you need help doing this, look up videos of other people's a cappella arrangements to see how they condensed the original song. It's helpful if you cut up the actual song using a computer system so that you're able to play it over and over again once it's condensed. This includes the solo and all the verses you'll be including in the song. If you're able to read and write music well, write out the notes for the bass as well as any other instruments you're hoping to include in the arrangement. You may need to experiment with several different versions of your arrangement until you discover one you like. If you can't write sheet music, use a computer system to split up the different levels of the song so you can arrange it that way. If you aren't experienced with arranging music, look online for an a cappella arrangement for the song you want to sing. Your sound is your main priority, but spend effort on other visual aspects such as facial expressions and choreography. Once you're satisfied with your singing, work on the movements you'll be doing onstage (if any) and on expressing the song through your facial expressions as well. All dancing should be well-practiced and fit the song's theme a quiet heartbreak song might do well with you standing still, while an upbeat song can have dance moves incorporated. Use your face to express the emotion in the song. If you have lots of energy and grin during a happy, upbeat song and look serious and sorrowful during a sad song, the crowd will take you much more seriously.
Summary:
Listen to the original song carefully beforehand. Condense the song to fit in a cappella format. Write out the lyrics and musical factors that make up the arrangement. Hone your performance.
