How to cut your curly hair

This tutorial is going to show you how to cut your own curly hair. This makes it lighter and brings more volume and curls to your hair. I dont think this tip is going to help you if you had your curls done at the hairdresser this is only for natural curly hair. This is a trick that my sisters hairdresser learnt her. For this tip you dont have to use an expensive professional hairdressing scissors - it dosnt have to be need or anything because of your curls. Before you begin, its a good idea to make your hair wet that makes it easier to control when cutting it. Start by section your hair so you can start by cutting the hair on your neck. Take a tuft of hair and twist it all the way down. Now you can make your scissors run down the twisted tuft of hair. Be sure to run your fingers down the tuft of hair after cutting it that way you remove all the lose hair. Now cut the middle section and continue cutting it. Finish out by taking the last section on top of your head. If you want to, you can also cut your bangs. Im doing this relativly often, so I only have to take a bit. That way I can always make it look like my hairdresser had it done. This tip cant replace your appointments with your hairdresser, but it can minimize them. This tip only brings volume and extra curls into your hair. I cut my hair every time it begins to be to heavy to curl and gets flat.

DIY Re-Upholstery

So you've just bought your dream house and after a lot of hard work and organization, you've gotten everything out of the boxes and moved your furniture into the new rooms. It's a great feeling to see everything in a fresh setting. Possessions take on new meaning and look slightly different in a new house. The lighting is different, the views are different, the way the rooms flow into one another is different. Furniture that faded in your previous home now shines.

When Tracy moved into her new home last spring this was the stage she loved best. "I've always been interested in interior design," says the 34 year old librarian. "So having a house full of empty rooms to decorate from scratch was a real thrill for me." Pulling the rooms together in her new two bedroom home was also challenging. "I work full time so decorating is more of a hobby than anything else. Plus, after we bought the house there wasn't much left in the budget for new furniture. I really had to get creative with what I had."

One of the things Tracy had to get creative with was an antique chair handed down to her from her grandmother in Iowa. "It's a really great chair,"she says, "the lines are perfect, but no matter where I put it in the house it looked ratty and wrong." She tried throwing blankets over it, angling it in corners, moving it from room to room. "It just wouldn't work," she says "I was almost ready to banish it to the basement when I got the idea to reupholster it to fit the room I wanted it in."

"I got a book on upholstery to see if it was something I could do. I was worried because I really can't sew. I'm all thumbs." What Tracy learned though was that with a staple gun and a bit of time she could get rid of the ugly without getting rid of the chair. "It took me all weekend, but it was worth it," she says beaming. "I get so many complements on it and the room now."

The chair did have one cushion that demanded sewing skills though. Tracy just took the cushion in to a local tailor with the fabric she'd chosen. "The tailor made me a perfect cushion with a zipper at the back, new padding and piped edges. I didn't even need to sew a stitch!" When all was said and done, she paid only a fraction of the cost it would have taken to either replace the antique chair or have a professional upholsterer do the job. "I can understand why they charge so much," says Tracy. "It's not necessarily difficult or expensive, but it's time consuming. You really have to love working with your hands."

The project was a great experience for her and something she plans to do more often. "I'm so glad to have this new skill," she says. "It's become a hobby for me." Tracy's next project will be the chairs in her dining room set.

If you're ready for a new hobby too, below are some of Tracy's re-upholstery tips. Best of luck!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

-A staple gun, hammer, pliers and scissors

- 4 to 7 yards of fabric you love as much as the ugly chair

- Strip nails or stud strips (from fabric store or hardware store) and upholstery tacks

- Cardboard strips or tacking strip

If you want to do a really thorough job, the first and most important step in the process will involve carefully taking the old upholstery off the chair. Using the claw part of a hammer, pliers and or a screwdriver, remove the pieces that can come off first, first. As you're doing this, take note of how they were attached to the frame and the order in which you removed each piece. That way, you can simply reverse the order when you're putting the new ones on. If you are not one to take notes, take photos instead. You can also use the original upholstery as a pattern for the new material.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE::

- Staple cardboard strips or tacking strip to rough edges to get a smooth under surface or fold fabric over them and nail down to get clean edges

- Use stud strips or upholstery tacks to fasten the outside edges of finishing pieces and get an easy decorative trim at the same time

- When choosing your fabric avoid lines, stripes or patterns that have to be matched. Choose medium weight fabric. Fabric that's too heavy will be difficult to work with and fabric that's too light will tear.

Dining room chairs and chairs with more frame than material on them are relatively easy. For dining room chairs, just remove the seat from the chair with a screwdriver, cover it with the fabric of your choice, neatly staple it down on the underside, and then screw the newly covered seat back down. This also works really well for vintage kitchen chairs with vinyl seats.

For extra help as you embark on your project, get support from your local library or bookstore. There are plenty of great books on the market that will take you through the process step by step. Of course if you just want to get started, just get started! Use your intuition as you tuck, staple and hammer down, you have nothing to lose but an ugly chair.

Blister Packages Ensures Safety to Your Products

When you buy an electronic device, you would find that the item is encased in a special way with a very hard plastic shell which forms a mould around the device. The plastic covering is so hard that most often you need to use heavy scissors or a very sharp knife to open it. Sometimes you may even injure yourself while attempting to open it. It is natural to wonder why the product is kept in such a setting. But once you come to know about the advantages of the special packing known as blister packaging or clamshell packaging, you would probably appreciate it.

Blister packaging generally refers to a type of pre-formed plastic packaging used for small consumer goods in which plastic and aluminum are used to protect the product from harsh climate changes. The product is enclosed in a cavity of sturdy plastic and sealed shut. Special glue is used to make the covering stick to the aluminum or cardboard which envelopes it. One of the most common forms of blister packaging, and also the most user-friendly, is found in single-dose strips of pharmaceutical tablets or capsules. The blister packs provide protection to the drugs and also it helps the consumer to make sure that they have taken the correct dosage. These blister packs open quite easily and are largely tamper resistant. The blister packaging can be very small or very large, depending upon the feature of the product.

There are several varieties of blister packaging and clamshell packaging is the best innovation which is generally used to cover small electronic goods, children's actions figures, and tools. The clamshell packaging tightly covers the items they contain as it is made up of hard and tough plastic exterior that is molded to fit perfectly the product. The main advantage of clamshell packaging is that it is airtight and thereby keeps moistures out of the interior and safeguarding the product from physical damage and from getting altered by atmospheric causes.

The blister packaging stands apart compared to other types of packaging like bubble wrap since it ensures damage protection of the product along with assuring proper hygiene storage. Moreover, the blister packaging has been a boon to the manufacturers too. Since the packaging is transparent, it offers high visibility of the product thereby motivating the point of purchase sales. In addition to this, the packaging is theft resistant. It makes it tough for the shop lifters to open small items and slip them into the pocket. The packaging also offers a hanging slot which increases the visible impact of the product. The reverse side of the package is generally made attractive with product description in detail along with colorful graphics.

Generally the blister packaging is done using machineries and it is a fast process. The manufacturers often find the method cost effective. Since the shapes of the packages are made in such a way that they can be loaded together, the delivery of large number of products can be done easily. The shape ensures safety as there wouldn't be any space for the product to move around and cause damages.

Much to consumers' delight, the manufactures have even introduced a device which enables the users to open clamshell packaging safely without causing injuries. With the introduction of this device, the consumers can easily open packages without cursing.

Professional Hair Shears and Your Perfect Cut

One of the most important things to remember before professional hair sheers touch your locks is that communication between you and your stylist is key to attaining the best possible results. After all, if you are unable to communicate the exact look and feel that you are looking for then your stylist is not going to be able to work with you to create the perfect cut. Your stylist can be incredibly talented and armed with the highest quality hair styling tools, but if you are unable to convey your thoughts and concerns then they can only do so much to make you happy.

Before you even get ready to go in to your salon to get your hair cut, take the time to look through a series of pictures to see exactly what you want. Once you find a style that you are fond of, you may want to look at the type of cut on different hair types. What may look great on one person with a certain hair type may not look as good on another person with a different hair type once the professional hair shears are finished working their magic. After you have researched hair styles, you will have a better understanding of the type of look that you would like to discuss with your stylist before you begin.

When it comes time for your appointment, be sure that you have a picture or a series of pictures with you so that you are able to give your hair stylist a decent visual of the look that you are hoping for. Talk with your stylist about the cut itself, the types of products you may want to use to style it when you get home or even ask him or her if this is a style that is going to be easy or fairly difficult to maintain. After all, a hair style that is hard to keep up will usually leave you feeling disheartened with the cut once you are at home and trying to style it on a daily basis.

Sitting in the chair at the salon and having your stylist work their magic with a pair of professional hair shears never guarantees you that you will end up with the perfect cut. If you choose a style that doesn't necessarily work well with the shape of your face, then the chances are very good that you will end up disappointed. When you find yourself second-guessing any cut that you have in mind, it is always a good idea to get an honest opinion from your stylist. At the same time, this is when it is important that you work with a stylist that you trust to give you an honest opinion on whether or not a certain cut will look right on you.

In the end, you can arm yourself with all of the professional hair styling tools on the market today, but if you do not have the right cut to go along with it then you are never going to be happy with your hairstyle.
