Problem: Article: Hair mascara is just what is sounds like: mascara, but for your hair! Applying it is easy; you just pull out a thin section of hair, then comb the mascara wand through it using light strokes. Hair mascara comes in both natural and non-natural colors. It is opaque, so it will appear even on dark-colored hair. If you can't find the right shade to touch up your roots with, go to the next, closest shade. A darker shade will look more natural than a lighter one. Hair mascara will last for 1 to 2 shampoos. Dampen the hair strand you want to dye, then rub your hair chalk across itmake sure that you get both the upper and undersides. Repeat this process as many times as you want to color your hair. Let your hair dry, then comb it out. Heat-set the chalk with a curling iron or flat iron, or set it with a holding spray. If you can't get hair chalk, you can try using chalk pastel or eyeshadow. It typically comes in non-natural colors. Most hair dye is translucent, but hair chalk is opaque, making it a great choice for dark hair. This method is best for creating streaks, but you may be able to use it to mimic a full-color. Be aware that it may rub off on clothing. Hair chalk will last for about 2 to 4 shampoos, but it may stain light-colored hair. Apply the hairspray to thin strands of dry hair. Let the hairspray dry, then brush your hair to break up any clumps. Be aware that there may still be some stiffness afterwards. Colored hairspray comes in a variety of non-natural colors, but you can find it in natural colors as well. Because it's opaque, it's great for dark hair. This will last for about 2 to 4 shampoos, but it may permanently stain light-colored hair. Hair gel makes your hair stiff and is best used to create spikes and other extreme styles. Colored hair gel is no different, except that it is colored. Simply apply the gel to your hair like you would normal gel. It typically comes in non-natural shades, but you may be able to find it in natural colors. It is opaque, making it a great option for darker hair colors. The gel should come out in 1 to 2 shampoos. Be aware that it may stain lighter hair colors. Part your hair where you want the extension to go. Snap open the comb on the extension, and slide it into your hair, just below the part. Snap the comb shut, then let your hair down. Use a full set of extensions to create an ombre look, or individual extensions to create a streaked look. You can get extensions in just about any color, both natural and non-natural. Full-sets typically come in natural colors, while individual clips come in non-natural colors. For the most realistic look, choose extensions made from human hair. If this is just for fun, however, synthetic extensions will do just fine. You can style natural, human hair extensions with curling irons, flat irons, bleach and dye. You can't style synthetic extensions.
Summary: Try hair mascara if you want to add streaks or touch up your roots. Use hair chalk to get bright colors. Use colored hairspray as an alternative to chalk. Try colored hair gel for wilder styles. Use clip-in extensions if you don't want to use any product at all.

Problem: Article: To perform this simple trick, you will need a few props to give the illusion that you are levitating a spinning card. This will trick will require: A playing card Clear tape Clear elastic/fishing line (a few feet in length) You will need to attach the line to the back of your playing card with your clear tape for this illusion. For it to work best, try to make it so that the line threads up and away from the center of the back of your card. For you to be able to execute this trick quickly and without raising suspicions, you should make a loop, or a simple adjustable knot, at the loose end of the line. This can be slipped over a button on your shirt, attached to your belt buckle, or attached somewhere else on your body, like up your sleeve. Take time to work out the best length for this trick. You will need enough line so that you can launch the card from your hand, leaving it hanging beneath and spinning. Depending on your hand, there might be a better way of hiding your fishing line from view, but you may want to try running the line through your pointer and middle finger, along the back of your hand parallel to the crease between your thumb and pointer finger, and then to your shirt button or belt. Taking care to make sure you don't get tangled in your invisible line, shuffle a deck of cards until you are ready to make your card float. Then, raising your hand with your fingers splayed, catch your invisible thread between your pointer and middle fingers. Hold your deck of cards loosely as you do this, and as you raise your hand, the card will be raised, as though it is floating, on your invisible thread. Alternately, you can shuffle until you are ready, take your trick card in hand, and launch it in a gesture similar to that of throwing a Frisbee. This will cause your card to spin rapidly and hang in the air. Try not to use excessive force! If your card moves too much, your audience might realize the pivot point from which it is hanging.
Summary: Gather your materials. Construct your illusion. Loop the fishing line. Find your optimal line route. Practice levitating your card.

Problem: Article: The rules and information provided in this article will not teach you everything you need to know about English grammar. This article is intended to serve as a starting point in your studies. The actual subject of English grammar is much more complex, and you will need to devote a lot of time and effort if you really want to learn it. If you are learning English as a second language, compare the rules of English grammar to the grammar rules of your native language. Some aspects will be similar while others will differ. When the rules are the same, rely on the knowledge you have of your native grammar to help you with English grammar. When the rules differ, devote more time and concentration on practicing those aspects of English grammar as you study. People who do a lot of reading tend to be more proficient with English grammar in their own writing and speech. This does not refer to grammar books. Grammar books are helpful, of course, but the principle of this step is a different one. Read books, magazines, or other materials written in English that you enjoy. The more often you read, the more familiar you will naturally become with the way that grammar is used in word, sentence, and paragraph levels. Learning the rules of English grammar is an important step, but you will be able to put those rules into practice better if you are actually used to seeing proper grammar. If you are currently in school, look for a special elective class that focuses on grammar or a tutoring opportunity provided through your school. If you are no longer in school, consider taking a grammar class at a community college, community center, or library. You could also look for a class online. For non-native English speakers, look for classes specifically designed for students who are learning English as a secondary language. These classes are usually labeled as ESL (English as a Second Language), ENL (English as a New Language), or ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes. If formal classes do not help, find a mentor who can review grammar rules with you one-on-one. This mentor could be a teacher, professor, or professional tutor. On the other hand, it could also be a parent, sibling, friend, or other relative who has a strong grasp of the English language and is willing to help out. Go to a bookstore and purchase an English grammar workbook, or hop online and access some free grammar resources through the Internet. As a general rule, look for Internet sources that come from educational (.edu) websites. Examples include: The Guide to Grammar and Writing by Capital Community College Foundation (http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/) Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/1/5/) Above all else, practice makes perfect. The more you can practice English grammar, the better you'll get with it.
Summary:
Understand that this is just the beginning. Compare grammar rules. Do a lot of reading. Take a class. Find a mentor. Look for additional information on your own. Practice.
