The "beach" look is a popular way to wear your hair. The look means your hair is slightly curly or wavy like you just got home from the beach. If you don't live by a beach or it's too cold to go to the beach, you can get this look right at home.
Get the Beachy Look
Saltwater is the main ingredient in the "beachy" look. Saltwater, wind and sun made your hair look chic and naturally wavy. You can get that look right at home without the beach. Fill an empty spray bottle with water (about 8 oz). Add two, very large, tablespoonfuls of sea salt to the water. Shake the bottle to dissolve the salt into the water. If you need some added texture, mix a teaspoon of hair gel into the saltwater and shake the bottle well. Take a shower to wet your hair, but do not use shampoo. When you get out of the shower, towel dry your hair. Spritz the saltwater to hair. Apply it liberally to your head, combing your hair through with your fingers. Scrunch up your hair with your fingers to a super wavy look and allow your hair to air dry. The saltwater both nourishes and texturizes your hair for that off-the-beach look.

Instructions
1. Buy a high quality pair of thinning shears. The best place to buy good thinning shears is your local beauty supply store.

Create a barrette with ribbon flowers to give to any of your girl friends on a variety of occasions. Create ribbon flower barrettes for your bridesmaids to put in their hair at your wedding, or give a set to your niece or a friend at Christmas. You can make ribbon flower barrettes as simple or complex as you like; just make sure all your flowers will fit on the type of barrette you're using.
Instructions
1. Pull the wire gently out of the ribbon on one side of a 1-1/2 inch wide wire ribbon. This should cause the ribbon to ruffle. Continue pulling until all of the ribbon is ruffled.
2. Cut the excess wire away with a pair of wire cutters. Leave approximately 2 to 4 inches of wire at the end.
3. Fold the ribbon over itself, creating accordion type folds, on the pulled wire side. Stitch through the folds, once you've created 6 to 8 folds. Wrap the ribbon around the center folds, creating a spiral. Stitch back and forth through the bottom of the ribbon as you work to secure the ribbon together. A flower should begin to take shape. Continue doing this until you reach the end of the ribbon.
4. Fold and tuck the frayed end of the ribbon back into the flower, so you can't see it. Stitch through the ribbon on the ruffled wire side to secure the end in place.
5. Cut a small circle, approximately 1 to 2 inches in diameter, out of felt felt or fleece. Stitch it directly to the flower to secure it.
6. Stitch another wide piece of ribbon or a strip of felt to either side of the circle, creating a taut loop. Slide your hair barrette through the loop to hold the flower in place.
7. Apply a thin bead of glue or hot glue to either side of the barrette to secure the flower in place, if you do not plan to remove the flower from the barrette in the future.

Textured hair may be thicker and more course than other hair types. For this reason, extra care may be needed to keep the hair looking healthy. In addition, various processes such as straightening, coloring and relaxing can weaken the hair. More conditioning, along with the use of moisturizing products may help.
Instructions
1. Drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet and maintaining good health are vital steps to cultivate healthy hair and overall appearance.
2. Supplement. A multivitamin has benefits for the body, as well as the hair. Omega-3 capsules can be especially helpful for those with textured hair, as it will help with dryness that may typically occur. In addition, omega-3 is thought to stimulate growth and shine.
3. Wear a hat, or use shampoos and conditioners that contain sunscreen. Environmental protection is needed to guard against damage that can occur with sun exposure. Harsh UV rays can break down the keratin in hair, causing hair to fade and become brittle.
4. Shampoo regularly to help decrease build up on the hair. Textured hair may not require daily washing, however, cleansing is needed to remove products that may build up and cause the hair to appear dull.
5. Trim hair regularly to keep it healthy. The ends of the hair may become easily damaged and can travel up the hair shaft, spreading damage. Textured hair may need frequent trimming due to the use of flat irons or other damaging elements.
Planning a wedding can be time-consuming and stressful. Make wedding planning as simple as possible by creating a checklist for everything that needs to be done -- including the reception -- from months before the wedding until the actual wedding day. Having every task detailed will make it easier to figure out how much you have to do and how much you can put off until later so you can enjoy your engagement.
Instructions
1. Write a list about what you have to do immediately after getting engaged. If you have a long engagement, you can wait to start on this list - it should be accomplished at least one year before your wedding date. Include setting a wedding date, writing a guest list and determining your budget in this list. Remember, you'll need to write a guest list before setting a budget - the number of people you want at your wedding will determine your budget. Also, you may opt to have your engagement announcement printed in your local newspaper.
2. Create a checklist for everything that needs to be accomplished at least nine months before the wedding date. The following items should be included: booking vendors, including your photographer and videographer, caterer, florist and officiant; asking friends and family to be members of your bridal party; determining your wedding colors and choosing bridesmaid dresses; purchasing wedding rings; planning your honeymoon; and purchasing your wedding gown.
3. Write down everything that needs to be accomplished six months before the wedding. Included on the list should be choosing the music for your ceremony and reception, finalizing the prenuptial agreement, starting pre-marriage counseling, ordering invitations, signing up for a gift registry and sending your save-the-dates.
4. Make a checklist that includes everything that should be accomplished four months before your reception, including sending your wedding announcement to your local newspaper, ordering wedding programs, finding tuxedos for the groomsmen, booking transportation for the wedding day, securing blocks of hotel rooms, choosing a wedding cake and a groom's cake, planning the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and ordering wedding favors.
5. Breakdown the final three months of the wedding. Three months before the wedding, you should discuss the specifics of the ceremony with your officiant; make final changes to the guest list; purchase your toasting glasses, cake knife, garter and guest book as well as bridal party gifts; write your wedding vows and send invitations. Two months before the wedding, your checklist should include having a hair and makeup consultation, getting your wedding license, having a dress fitting, finalizing your plans with vendors, completing name change documents and booking your hotel room for the wedding night. One month before the wedding you'll want to finalize all of the wedding details as well as create a seating chart.
6. Detail exactly what you have to do during the hectic weeks before the wedding. You'll need to pick up your wedding gown, have the groomsmen attend a final tuxedo fitting, attend the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, get a manicure, arrange tip envelopes for your vendors and bring decorations to the reception hall. On the day of your wedding, you'll likely want to have your hair and makeup professionally done and schedule enough time to prepare for the ceremony and reception.

Using thinning shears on bangs is an inexpensive way to maintain your haircut. Thinning shears create the trendy, pieced look. Try using thinning shears to cut your own bangs and saving yourself money.
Instructions
1. Have an idea of what style you'd like to create beforehand. Look in magazines or online of bang styles that you like.
2. Wash and dry your hair. Dry hair gives you a better idea of how short you're cutting it. Wet hair is generally longer than short hair. It can give you an incorrect picture of how much you're cutting.
3. Part your hair where you would normally part it.
4. With a comb, measure halfway down your hair shaft. This is the best place to start.
5. With swift motions, used the thinning shears to snip the hair shaft. After a few cuts, step back and reassess.
6. For pieced bangs, only cut halfway down the shaft, moving up if you want them to be shorter. For longer, sleeker bangs, only cut near the very end of the shaft.

After the crown knob is screwed tight, the watch can be worn.
The Rolex Submariner watch can be worn underwater, and displays the current time and date. Once the watch is strapped to your wrist, you might experience problems setting the date.
Date Setting
If you have trouble setting the date, pull out the crown knob (on the right edge of the watch) to its first position. Twist the knob clockwise to advance the day until the current date is reached. Twisting the knob counterclockwise is ineffective. Push the knob back into the watch.
Date Roll Over
If the date rolls over at noon instead of midnight, pull the knob out to its last position. Note that the date rolls over at midnight and advance or roll the time back to the correct time. For example, if you want to set the clock for 2 p.m., twist the knob forward until the date changes to the correct date, advance the time forward 12 hours from 00:00 a.m. and set the time forward to 2 p.m. Push the knob in.
Final Position
If you set the date and worry that the watch isn't sealed properly, push the crown knob in completely and screw it tightly clockwise against the watch. This makes the watch pressure-proof for 330 feet.
