Article: There is no reason to be rude simply because you're ignoring someone. In fact, being rude will only escalate the situation. When you have to talk to the person, do so with formality. Say things like, "Please," "Excuse me," and "Thank you." Show the person basic manners while maintaining a somewhat stiff demeanor. This will show the person you're not being hostile but you don't want a lot of interactions with them. Ignoring someone should not be an aggressive act. Do not make faces at the person, roll your eyes when they talk, or blatantly pretend not to hear them when they address you. You are now being annoying in return, which is not a good way of dealing. Never taunt someone while you're ignoring them. You cannot completely tune someone out, especially if you work with that person. When necessary, acknowledge their presence in a manner that's polite but not overtly friendly. For example, offer a brief wave or nod when you pass them in the hallway. Reply to their question of, "How are you?" with "I'm fine. Thanks." Whenever you speak to this person, keep your sentences short and to the point. This will prevent any awkward or uncomfortable chatter. Sometimes, people may not take the hint. If someone continues to annoy you, even when you've tried to subtly indicate you don't want to talk to them, it's okay to make an excuse and walk away. For example, a co-worker is being very critical about an aspect of your personal life. Even though you're giving non-comital responses, they keep at it. Say something like, "Okay, I appreciate the input, but I don't really need it and I have somewhere to be." Then, leave the situation.

Be formal with the person. Do not taunt the person. Acknowledge their presence when necessary. Walk away when necessary.
Article: Each section will form a loc. Start separating sections of hair on the back of your head first. Use a comb to separate the hair into a 34 inch (1.9cm) thick section. Use your free hand to hold the section of hair together. If you want fatter locs, you can separate a thicker section of hair. Use sections that are 1 inch by 1 inch (2.5 cm by 2.5 cm) square at the base for medium locs, or double the size for a large loc. Backcombing works best on hair that's 6 inches (15cm) or longer, but can work with hair as short as 3 inches (7.6cm). Backcombing an entire head of hair can take up to 4 hours to complete. Start by combing the section of hair 3 inches (7.6cm) from the roots, towards the direction of the scalp. Comb over the same section 5-10 times until the hair starts to bunch up towards the scalp, then slowly make your way down, towards the ends of the hair. Continue combing in 3 inches (7.6cm) sections until the entire portion of separated hair is backcombed. You can purchase a dread comb online or at a beauty supply store. Grip the hair between your index finger and thumb, a couple of inches (about 5 cm) away from the root. Hold the section of hair tightly and run the crochet needle in between your fingers, through the hair several times. Your hair will bunch up even further. Continue doing this down the length of the hair until the entire section is knotted and looped. After you use the comb and needle, the hair should resemble a dread. Use small rubber bands to secure it at the base of the loc and at the end of the section of hair. This will hold it in place and allow it to keep its form. If you plan to go out in public before you have finished dreadlocking your hair, you may wish to use rubber bands that are the same color as your hair to create a more natural appearance. Look for products like locking gel, lock and twist gel, or beeswax. Dread cream will prevent hair and scalp dryness and will promote the forming of dreads. Squeeze a generous portion into the palm of your hand, then apply it from the root to the end of the loc. Put the loc between the palms of your hands and roll it back and forth several times so that it forms into more of a rounded shape. Start from the root and work your way down to the end of the loc. This will help form the locs and make them look uniform. Continue dreading each section of hair in even sections until the entire head has been dreaded. Do not attempt to backcomb the sections again, or you'll have to restart the knotting process. Remove the rubber bands once you've dreaded all the hair.

Article: The flared leg looks very flattering with almost any kind of heel chunky sandals, clogs, wedges and platforms can all look very polished. Flares already tend to elongate the leg, and wearing heels with them emphasizes that even more. Make sure the bottom hems of your flares are not touching the ground, though, which can take this look from polished to sloppy pretty quickly. If you have to, hem your jeans or have them tailored for the shoes you plan to wear with them. Avoid wearing pointed-toe shoes with flares, which can look dated. High-waisted flares already do a lot to create a soft, feminine silhouette, but you can emphasize this quality even more by wearing them with a thin belt that cinches at the waist. The belt can accentuate your curves while the high waist looks polished and appropriate for almost any occasion. Tuck in a button-down dress shirt and add a thin patent leather belt for an office-ready look. Tuck a drapey, loose-fitting top into a pair of classic denim flares, then add a belt to create an easygoing vibe with a touch of glamour. Long trench coats that belt at the waist can also look great, and the longer silhouette provides more balance to your overall look. An eye-catching accessory can add a lot of flair to a neutral colored outfit. This technique also works great with a monotone outfit, like crisp white flares paired with a white button down, because the added scarf or bag really pops against the single-color backdrop. Add a pair of chunky heeled boots to finish off this look. A clutch with a sleek shape in a bright color like orange can add a lot of flair to a monotone outfit with very little effort.
