Article: It is much easier to straighten your hair with a curling iron that has a larger barrel, at least 1 to 2 inches in diameter. A larger barrel will allow you to run the curling iron through sections of your hair more easily and much more quickly than a curling iron with a smaller barrel. If you only have access to a curling iron with a smaller barrel, .75 to 1 inch in diameter, you can still use it to straighten your hair. But it may take more time due to the smaller barrel size. Look for a curling iron that is made of ceramic and/or tourmaline. Ceramic irons are ideal because they help to disperse heat through your hair more evenly. Tourmaline irons are also good for controlling frizz and for locking moisture in your hair when you style it with heat. Many professional grade curling irons are made with ceramic or tourmaline. You may be able to get a more affordable curling iron that is only partly ceramic or tourmaline if you are on a budget. You should also check that the curling iron comes with several heat settings so you can control how much heat you are applying to your hair. This will ensure you do not burn or damage your hair when you use the curling iron. If you have fine hair or hair that is color treated, you should use a low heat setting of below 200 degrees. If you have curly, thick hair, you can use a higher heat setting of 200-300 degrees. Never go above 400 degrees as this can damage your hair, no matter what hair type you have. Make sure you pay attention to how your hair responds to the heat of the curling iron. If you notice a burning smell coming from your hair, the temperature may be too high. However, a burning smell can also indicate that your hair is dirty, wet, or even has too much product on it.

Article: You will need several colors of polymer clay, a toothpick, a pan that can go in the oven (that will only be used for polymer clay, not food), a piece of string, and a needle that can be threaded onto the string. Polymer clay is available at all craft supply stores and easily available online as well. Remember that the baking sheet you use will should not be used for baking food after it's used for baking polymer clay. Try to keep your beads all the same size, so that they look the same. Be sure to follow the directions carefully, as over baking or under baking your bead can damage them. No matter what brand it is, it will smell up your kitchen a bit while baking. These fumes are not good for you. Be sure to open us some windows or turn on a vent to get proper ventilation. The beads need to be completely cool before you touch them. When they are still warm they will not be totally hard, so touching them could damage the surface.

Article: You don't have to spend a fortune to dress like the stars. Accessories make the outfit complete but don't get carried away with too much bling. Keep it simple. Bling was once considered all things flashy, expensive and big but with changing styles comes a simpler way to accessorize with the minimalistic rings, belt buckles and watches. In women's Hip-Hop fashion an entire ensemble can be accessorized with simple hoop earrings and a petite chain. Gone are the days of massive necklaces with a huge clock face pendant. Many styles in hip hop are making a comeback and if you are someone that has a hard time throwing anything away then you may already have the clothing you need. Jersey's, Jordans, or even that pair of skinny jeans you held onto are all making their way back to the hip hop fashion scene. No matter the style you are attempting to achieve you should always feel confident in what you wear. Just like the perfect accessory, a fresh look goes a lot further with an attitude to match. Choose an outfit that fits well and let your personality do the rest.
