Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Hold the axe tightly. Chop the wood in a cautious, controlled manner. Swing the axe to chop into the wood at a 45-degree angle. Alternate swinging the axe from the left and right sides of the target on the wood. Repeat this swing pattern until you have chopped through the wood.

Answer: Your body should be loose and relaxed, while your hands need to firmly grip the axe itself. Make sure your hands are a few inches apart on the axe handle before you start chopping.  Grab the axe by placing your non-dominant hand 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) above the end of the axe handle. Position your other hand approximately 25% down the handle below the blade of the axe. If you are right-handed, your right hand should be the one closest to the blade. If you are left-handed, the opposite is true. Accuracy is more important that power, so there’s no need to overswing. Glide the hand that is closest to the blade down towards the end of the handle as you swing the axe. The top hand should come down the handle and meet the bottom hand by the time you have finished the swing. To help with accuracy, make a chalk mark where you want to chop the wood. Stand directly over the wood as you do this. Always leave part of your axe blade exposed and not touching the wood. This will ensure that your axe does not get stuck. Aim your swing for the top, middle and bottom portion of each side of the spot where you are cutting the wood. Bring the axe up over your left and right shoulder, switching from one side to the other as you bring the axe down on each side of the target spot on the wood. Not only does this technique help you chop the wood faster, it puts less stress on both sides of your body and allows you to chop for longer periods of time. Stay consistent with the placement of your strokes. The more accurate you are, the quicker the job gets done!  It is smart to do all of your chopping either right or left-handed, whichever is your natural swing. In the long run, it is important to learn how to chop with both your right and left hand. This will make you a more efficient chopper and save lots of time.

Wrap a silk scarf around your puff or bun for a chic look. Try a fro-hawk for an edgy look. Pull Senegalese twists up into a half-up ponytail.

Answer: Start with medium-length natural hair. Use a hair pick to comb out your hair. Manipulate the hair so that it sticks out in all directions, like a halo. When you get to the back, comb the hair upwards rather than straight out to help reduce volume.  If you don't have a hair pick, use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers instead. If your hair is fairly short, keep it brushed back from your forehead so that you can see your hairline. However, if it’s long enough in front to reach your eyebrow level, you can let some of it hang down in front of your forehead. Use the previous step to create a medium-length, curly afro. Next, wrap a large hair elastic around your head like a headband to pull your hair back into a thick ponytail. Keep the elastic a hand's with from your hairline on all sides.  You can use a skinny elastic headband instead. For a chic look, wrap a skinny silk or chiffon scarf around your head like a headband, then tie the ends into a double-knot or a bow. Pull your hair up into a puff or twist it into a bun. Drape a large, silk scarf over the top of your head. Make sure that it is centered, then pull the ends towards your forehead. Twist them together to create a rope braid, then wrap the braid around the back of your head. When you reach the front again, tuck the end under the rest of the scarf.  To protect your hair further, wrap a thinner silk scarf around your head like a headband first. Tie the scarf tight enough so that it stays snug around your head, but not so tight that it squashes your puff. Comb the left and right sides of your hair up towards the top of your head and secure them with a generous number of bobby pins. Start at the front of your head and work your way towards the back. As you reach the back of your head, you should be brushing and bobby pinning the strands back, not up.  Keep your look sleek and under control by applying some hair gel or edge control along your hairline, focusing on the hair that you will be brushing and pinning up. Don't let the left and right sides of your hair touch in the middle. Leave a gap about the width of your hand. The sections that you are working with should be no wider than a bobby pin. Mix up your look by making bantu knots or twist out curls in the middle section of your hair instead of a fro. Gather your twists back into a half-up ponytail at about ear level. Take 2 twists, and wrap them 2 times around your ponytail to secure it (instead of using a hair tie). Secure the wrapped twists to the rest of your hair with a large bobby pin.  This style works the best on Senegalese twists, but it can also work with other styles, such as box braids or locs. Don't use a regular bobby pin; it's not strong enough.
