In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many people hate roller coasters because they are afraid. Before going on a roller coaster, you should understand that there is a 1 in 1.5 million chance of being fatally injured on a roller coaster. There is a much larger risk of dying while driving a car, flying in an airplane, or have a piece of airplane fall from the sky and land on you. Understanding these statistics may help you endure a roller coaster even if you hate it. You can gear up to ride a roller coaster by going on smaller rides first. This will help you get used to the experience of moving fast, spinning, or even dropping from extreme heights, depending on the type of ride you choose. Waiting in line can be a nerve racking experience for people who hate roller coasters. Some lines can be over an hour long and your mind may try to convince you not to go on the roller coaster. Instead, try distracting yourself by talking with friends or playing a game on your phone. Not only will this help the time pass but it will also allow you to relax before getting on the roller coaster. While you are waiting in line to ride a roller coaster, avoid looking at the ride and try not to focus on the screams of other passengers. This may cause you to get more nervous and psych yourself out. The sheer size of the ride may cause your stomach to start doing flips. As a result, you should avoid looking at the ride. Similarly, don't watch any videos of people on ride on YouTube prior to heading to an amusement park. Although it is not a good idea to look closely at the ride because it may psych you out, you should familiarize yourself with the prominent features of the roller coaster. This way you will know what to expect before you get on. For example, you may want to know if the ride goes upside down or has major drips. Similarly, you may want to know the style of roller coaster. For example, there are inverted, floor-less, stand-up, and even lie down roller coasters. Before riding a roller coaster, get yourself excited by thinking positive thoughts. For example, tell yourself, “This is going to be a fun experience.” That way you can trick your mind into getting excited for the ride. If negative and fearful thoughts enter your head, replace them with fun and positive thoughts.
Summary: Look up the statistics on roller coaster accidents. Start with smaller rides. Distract yourself in line. Avoid focusing on the ride while in line. Familiarize yourself with the ride layout. Think positive thoughts.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold the durag in your hands. Tie the ends of the tails into a double knot, so that it doesn’t come undone very easily. The durag should now look like a loop with the head covering at one end, and the knot on the other end. You can cut the very tips of the ends off once you’ve tied the ends together. Many people prefer to place the seam facing up so that it doesn’t leave a mark in their hair. However, you can leave it facing down if you want the top to look very tidy. Pull the loop made from the tails back behind your head.Turn it over to twist it. This will make it naturally want to come back to the front of your head and wrap around your forehead.  With this technique, the tails will definitely roll up like ropes, rather than staying flat like strips of fabric. Since the ties are already tied, you don’t need to do anything else to the tails. Take the flap in one hand and use the other to tie it in a knot. It should almost look like a ponytail made from fabric. You can now tuck the flap and knot up under the durag itself. This technique should leave your durag fitting very comfortably, so that you can easily fit multiple fingers between the ties and the skull cap part of the durag. You may want to do this if you're just hanging out around the house or going to sleep. However, it will look unkempt and may get in the way while you sleep.
Summary: Tie the tails of the durag together. Place the durag on your head. Wrap the tails around your head. Tie the flap against your head. Unwrap ties if desired.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use synthetic hair, rather than human hair, for the box braids, as it will not frizz. Shorter, thinner box braids may require fewer packs of hair. Look for synthetic hair that is smooth and soft at your local beauty supply store or online. When in doubt, get more hair than you think you might need. You can then use any leftover hair for another style later or return it, if the retailer allows returns. Place the hair extensions between your fingers in a staggered line. Break the hair into 3 sections. Place 1 section of the hair extensions between your pointer and middle finger. Then, take the next section and place it between your middle finger and ring finger 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) below the first section. Hold the third section between your ring finger and pinkie 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) below the second section. Staggering the hair in a line will give the ends of the braids a feathered, rather than blunt, look, making the hair appear more natural. Set it aside, as you will not be using it to form the braid. You can use it later when you make new sections of hair for your braids. Take 1 section of hair and place it over the remaining section of hair so they interlock into each other to form a loop. Make sure 1 section has more hair than the other. The 2 pieces of hair should create a loose loop, where the smaller section hangs over the bigger section. You should now have 3 even sections of synthetic hair to work with.
Summary:
Get 6-8 packs of synthetic hair for long, thick braids. Take 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of synthetic hair. Remove ⅓ of the hair. Form a loop with the remaining hair.
