Problem: Article: If your hair is looking chunky and thick, consider taking some sections between your fingers and cutting very lightly into them while holding the scissors vertically pointing down towards your scalp. When doing this, don't cut the entire chunk of hair just a few snips into the section of hair that you hold between your fingers will be fine. If the back is still quite full, you can do what is called "channel cutting", which involves running the scissors through the hair at a diagonal angle as you cut. This can be particularly helpful at the back of your hair, particularly if you have trouble reaching back there, as you only need one hand for channel cutting (the one holding the scissors). Once you're happy with the top, move around the sides and back and make little adjustments as you see fit. One way to easily add some texture is to gently twist a chunk of hair and then, holding the scissors at a diagonal angle, gently running them against the hair twist to add some texture. Don't close the scissors completely over the twist, otherwise you'll just cut the chunk of hair off instead of giving it a pointy, razored look. To get the faux hawk look, move your hands through the center top part of your hair swiftly and in an upward motion. If the sides of your hair are still a bit long, you can use the styling product to tame them down a bit by pushing them forwards or backwards. A common tip from stylists when applying product is to start at the back of your hair. That way if you use too much product, your hair won't look overly greasy.
Summary: Thin it out (optional). Texturize the sides and back of your hair (optional). Rub a texturizing cream, mousse or wax between your hands and then apply it to your hair.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The focal length is represented by two numbers with a dash in between (i.e., 18-55). It marks the distance from the camera lens to the sensor. A wider range makes a camera better at taking photos from a distance. A shorter range means a camera will be better at shooting single scenes up close. For example, if you take a lot of photos of family events, you're taking mostly close-up shots of one scene. If choosing between a focal length of 18-55 and 18-35, go for the 18-35 lens. Image stabilization prevents blur by keeping the camera steady when taking photos. Pentax and Olympic cameras have photo stabilization built in with a camera's body, so you won't need a lens with this feature. If you have another brand of camera, however, look for a lens with image stabilization. Image stabilization is labeled differently between types of cameras. Canon simply uses Image Stabilization, or IS. Fujifilm, Panasonic, and Samsung us the term Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Nikon uses Vibration Reduction (VR). Sony uses Optical Steady Shot (OSS). Sigma uses Optical Stabilization (OS). Tamron uses Vibration Control (VC). Aperture refers to the amount of light a camera lens allows in and is represented by f-stop ratings (i.e., F4). Smaller numbers indicate a camera lets in more light. A smaller aperture works great for more creative photography, as they allow you to focus in on a close up of one specific object. However, a larger aperture works best if you're just photographing to capture events in your daily life. A larger aperture allows you to take photos indoors without flash and shoot without a lot of light. For example, if you use your camera to photograph family get togethers, an f-stop rating of F4 should be fine. However, if you use your camera to take creative photos for a photography class, go for a lower f-stop rating, such as F2. A prime lens is generally a solid choice, as it can be customized for a variety of photo types and is generally the most versatile. However, if you're taking very specific types of photos, pick a lens type that will provide the right zoom for your needs. Wide-angled lenses allow you to better photograph interiors of buildings and other structures. Macro lenses work great for extreme closeups, such as nature shots of leaves and flowers. Telephoto lenses can be helpful for long distance shots.

SUMMARY: Pick a focal length designed for the type of pictures you take. Check if you need image stabilization. Use the f-stop rating to select your aperture. Check how the lens type affects zoom capabilities.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Are you really still in love with him? If so, it might be worth trying to get him back, by showing him you still care and that you believe things will be better this time. Sometimes breaking up provides time for both people to realize that, more than anything, they just want to be together again. However, if you have any other reason for wanting your ex back, reexamine whether it's a good idea to try to rekindle the relationship. For example, if you want him back because you feel lonely without him, that's not a good enough reason to get back together. The lonely feeling will pass with time. Or if you want him back because you feel jealous thinking of him with someone else, think again before you decide to try to get back together. Post-breakup jealousy is normal, and this, too, will pass. If your ex boyfriend has started dating someone else, consider him off-limits. Don't become that person who won't leave her ex alone after he has moved on. If he's happy with someone else, you could end up hurting him, his new partner, and yourself by trying to interfere. It might feel temporarily lonely or even boring to be on your own after the end of a tumultuous relationship, but try to ride that feeling out instead of going back to your ex. On again, off again relationships tend to be based on unhealthy patterns that won't go away. Resist the temptation to jump right back in when you know you're better off without him.
Summary:
Make sure you want your ex boyfriend back for the right reasons. Think twice if he's already in another relationship. Stop trying to get your ex back if the relationship was toxic or abusive.
