Problem: Article: Regular paper will work for most books, but if you want something fancier, consider handmade paper, sketchbook paper, or even watercolor paper. Your paper needs to be the height you want your pages to be, and twice the width. If it's too long, cut it. You will be folding your paper in half. Decide how many pages you want, then use half that number. Run your fingernail or a boning knife along the folded edge to sharpen the crease. Now your paper should be the exact height and width you want the pages to be. Fold the pages one at a time. Pick one sheet to use as your guide. Using a pencil, make small marks along the folded edge where you want the stitches to be. The first and last marks should be inch (1.27 centimeters) from the top and bottom. The rest of the marks should be 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) apart. Make sure that you make an even number of marks, otherwise the stitching won't work out. Plan on using 4 to 6 pages per bundle. The more pages you cut, the bigger your bundles can be. Avoid using more than 6, however, or the book will warp. Gather all of your bundles into a stack, with the marked sheet on top. Make sure that all of the folded edges are lined up, then use a pencil to draw lines across the folded edges. Use the marks on the first page as a guide. Thanks to the lines you drew in the last step, each of the folded edges should now have marks on them. Unfold the bundles and flatten them on a foam pad. Use an awl to punch a hole over each mark.
Summary: Choose your paper, then cut it if needed. Fold your paper in half widthwise. Make an even number of marks along the edge of your first sheet for the stitching. Tuck the pages inside one another to create bundles. Stack the papers, then extend the marks down the other folded edges. Use an awl to punch the paper.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner as flat-ironing hair may cause damage to your hair. Shampooing and conditioning will remove unwanted oil and product build-up from your hair. Look for shampoo and conditioner products that are sulfate-free and jam packed with glycerin. Glycerin helps reduce frizz as it penetrates hair follicles, hydrating hair from the inside out. The closer glycerin is to the front of the ingredients list, the more it contains. Use a gentle shampoo and a smoothing conditioner. Straightening can be damaging to hair, even if your hair is thick and curly, so gentle products are important. When leaving in the conditioner in the shower, use a paddle brush to comb through your hair. This will help with the smoothening process while in the shower. Co-washing means washing your hair with only conditioner. Hair that's thick or curly is prone to more dryness than average hair. If your hair is very dry and frizzy, you should try co-washing your hair before straightening it. Your hair may benefit from being co-washed a few times a week. Shampoo can remove a lot of the natural moisture from hair. Using conditioner may reduce your hair's dryness. As straightening your hair can cause it to dry out, co-washing may be very helpful for someone with thick or curly hair. To co-wash your hair, saturate your hair with water. Then, massage in your chosen conditioner. Give your hair three to five minutes to absorb the conditioner and then wash it out. Do not rub! Wet hair is very weak and prone to damage. Blot the hair gently, and lightly wring the ends to soak-up moisture. Dry until it is slightly damp. Pat the hair downwards to promote straightening. Towel-drying in different directions enhances curls. Allow your hair to dry 90% of the way before you blow-dry. Concentrated hot air can frizz your hair. If you don't have either, use a small amount of the conditioner or a dime-sized amount of olive oil. These coat your hair to prevent the intense heat from causing split ends. Don't overdo it. Too much leave-in conditioner can make your hair limp instead of straight. Wash your hair with only conditioner twice a week to keep from washing away natural hair oils. Use argan oil for thick hair.
Summary:
Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner to rinse away the dirt. Co-wash if your hair is particularly dry. Gently pat your hair dry with a towel to reduce friction. Apply a leave-in conditioner or hydrating formula to prevent damage to your hair.
