Article: Find an object with a sharp point, such as a needle or pen. Push the sharp end of the object carefully into the balloon until it creates a pop. Make sure the balloon is attached to a surface or is being held securely so that you stab the balloon and nothing else. Scissors, safety pins, and forks also work well to pop balloons. If you have access to a lighter or matches, a small flame is enough to pop a balloon. Hold the balloon in 1 hand and turn on a lighter with the other hand, putting the flame close to the balloon until it pops. Always be extra cautious when dealing with fire and make sure that you know how to use a lighter or matches safely before using them at all. If the balloon isn't already tied off, you can keep blowing air into the balloon until it eventually pops. Using a smaller balloon will make popping the balloon this way easier as the smaller balloon won't be able to expand as much. To have a little bit of fun while popping a balloon, choose a game-like activity. This could be playing balloon darts where the balloons are secured to a board and you throw darts at the balloons to pop them, or trying to pop a balloon between your legs. Other games include standing back-to-back with someone with the balloon in the middle of your backs as you both try to pop the balloon by pushing back against each other.

Article: . A layered haircut adds more shape to your haircut, and reduces weight that can drag your hair into a flat style. Flip through a book of layered cuts at a salon to find a style you enjoy.

Put your wet hair into rollers, or section into ponytails and wrap each one into a bun against your head. Leave them there for 3-6 hours or overnight. The resulting waves or curls add a great deal of volume compared to straight hair. For maximum volume, create large barrel curls, then loosen them with your fingers to create the desired shape. If you have relaxed, Afro-textured hair, try switching to a "texlax" style. This just means using your relaxer product for a shorter amount of time, or diluting it before use. The result is a semi-relaxed hairstyle that is looser than your natural hair, but still has plenty of texture and volume. . If you have thin, flat hair, extensions may be the easiest way to add volume and length. Clip-in hair extensions are easy to try out, so there's no need to make a big commitment.
