Take the end of your comb and create a part down the middle from your forehead to the nape of your neck. Comb the sections out again. Then create 2 more parts from the crown of your head to behind your ears. If you like, you can clip the sections of hair you're not using right away to keep them out of your way while you curl 1 of the sections at a time. Starting with 1 of the front sections, take a section of hair in your fingers. It can be about 1in (2.5cm) thick, which will create a pretty tight curl, or you can make it thicker for a larger, looser curl. For very large, loose curls, don't separate a new section. Just take the whole front section of 1 side to roll up. Be sure that the section is still damp before you start to roll it. If it has dried out, apply more sea salt spray or water. Start at the very end of the section of hair you chose. Place a rag there horizontally, spread out to its full 2in (5.1cm) width. Roll your section of hair around the rag as far up as you would like the curl to go. To curl just the bottoms of your hair, stop rolling about halfway up the length of your hair. For curls that go all the way to the top, roll your hair around the rag until you reach your scalp. When you get to the point where you want the curl to stop, tie the ends of the rag around your hair to secure it in place. You can use a simple square knot to make it stay. Don't make the knot so tight that it will be difficult for you to untie in the morning. However, your knot should be tight enough that it doesn't come out and cause the rag to unwind. If you do happen to tie the knot too tightly, you may need to cut the rag to release your hair. This means you won't be able to reuse the rag in the future. Repeat the rolling steps until you've rolled up all of your hair in your rag strips. For even curls, make each section about the same thickness as your first one. If you don't mind a mixture of tight and loose curls, you can make some sections of hair thinner and others thicker as you roll them up. Check that each section of hair is still damp before you roll it up. If the section has dried, apply more sea salt spray or water before you roll it.

Summary: Part your hair in 4 even sections. Take a 1in (2.5cm) thick section of hair between your fingers. Roll the section of hair around 1 rag strip starting at the bottom. Tie the rag around your rolled-up hair in a secure knot. Roll up and tie all of your hair by sections.

You can find breed rescues by searching for them online, or by contacting your local humane society, dog officer, or vet's office. Many pet-related businesses will be able to provide information about local rescue organizations. Don't forget about talking to German Shepherd owners or visiting breed shows to meet more owners. Any puppy coming from a rescue should be fully checked by a veterinarian for basic health, parasites and vaccinations before they are adopted. Generally, they will be spayed or neutered before they go to their new homes, or you will sign a contract to do so in the near future. Beware of any rescue group who skips these steps. Many rescue groups have an extensive placement process. They will require an application, an interview, and a home visit to ensure a successful adoption. Some may even ask to consult your current veterinarian for information about you and previous pets. If you don't own your home, be prepared to provide a letter from your landlord stating that you are allowed to have a dog. If you already have another dog, that dog will need to be evaluated to make sure that the dogs will get along. While this may seem excessive, the rescue group just wants to place the dog with a family in a home that's prepared to handle the responsibility.
Summary: Contact breed rescues in your area. Make sure you're dealing with a legitimate rescue group. Go through the application process.
