In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You won't have many materials for braiding your hair, perhaps only a brush, some small hair ties, and maybe a few bobby pins. However, it's helpful to have all of these things near you and ready to go as you braid, so you can secure your hair as soon as you're finished braiding.  Often, someone will start a braid only to realize they don't have a tie or pin to secure it, and then they risk messing up their hair when they have to search for something to hold their braid. Consider keeping a hair tie on your wrist as you braid. That way, securing your braid when you're finished simply requires you to slip the tie off your wrist, rather than changing hands to pick up the hair tie and possibly letting go of the end of your braid. A waterfall braid with a side part helps add to the cascading waterfall appearance of your braid. By parting your hair in a deep side part, and flipping the parted hair over to the other side of your head, your hair is essentially taking on the nature of a waterfall. You can still braid a cascading waterfall braid on hair that is parted down the middle, however a deep side part adds a nice touch to the braid and enhances the cascading waterfall look by having your own hair "cascade" on the other side of your head. If you aren't going for a stylish messy look, a smoothing serum or leave in conditioner can help keep your hair smooth and manageable while braiding.  Damp hair can easily tangle, but leave in conditioner can smooth it so that it's easier to manage. If your hair is fine, has small, flyaway hairs, or is more than one length, consider applying a styling cream or smoothing serum. A smoothing serum can help tame unruly hairs, and keep stray, flyaway hairs from coming loose within the braid.
Summary: Gather your materials. Consider creating a side part. Consider applying a smoothing serum or leave in conditioner.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you know you're planning on getting fast food during the day, it's important to make sure you manage your hunger appropriately so you don't overdo it at the drive through.  If you skip meals or snacks or go into a meal too hungry, you're more likely to overeat and make poorer food choices.  This is dangerous if you know you're going to a fast food restaurant. If you need it, have a snack about 2 hours prior to hitting the drive through.  Keep it simple and small - just enough to prevent you from becoming overly hungry.  A piece of fruit, a small yogurt, a hard boiled egg or a protein bar are great options. Avoid trying to skip meals, snacks or under-eating to help save up calories for a higher calorie fast food meal. Pack meals and snacks at home. These will help to curb your hunger and reduce your urge to pick something up to eat from a fast food restaurant. To make sure you keep your fast food consumption in check, make sure you intentionally choose when and how often you're eating fast food meals.  If you're not planning for fast food, you're probably more likely to stop by on a whim or when you're overly hungry. Instead, plan to have fast food occasionally.  When you plan for it, you're preparing yourself in advance which may help you make healthier choices at the restaurant. Also, take a look at the menu you before you go.  Review what you might be interested in and what options are the healthiest.  Most fast food restaurants now offer their menus and nutritional information online. You may also want to compare a few places to see what restaurant will you offer you the healthiest and most enjoyable meal. Sometimes you might find yourself stopping for fast food meal on an overly busy day or evening.  Even if it's not something you planned on doing, you can still make the rest of your day healthy.  Don't feel that one "slip-up" or one not so healthy meal ruins your entire day.  You still have multiple food choices during the day to pick something nutritious for your body. If you were late for work and stopped by the drive through for breakfast, don't worry.  Make a healthy choice at lunch, your afternoon snack and dinner. Another way to keep yourself on track with a healthy lifestyle is by sticking with your workout plan.  Aim for about 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity cardio activities each week.  Activities like walking, jogging, swimming or dancing are great to add to your lifestyle to help maintain weight (even after the occasional fast food meal). If you ended up going to a fast food restaurant or weren't able to eat as healthy as you wanted to, do something positive by going for a walk or staying a the gym a little longer than normal. Although you generally cannot "work off" an entire fast food meal at the gym, doing something healthy and positive for yourself is a good habit to continue to practice. If you find yourself craving fast food frequently or really enjoy specific fast food meals, try making your favorites at home.  Studies have shown that if you cook most of your meals at home, you actually consume less calories overall.  This is because you can control what ingredients you use and how much you eat of certain foods. Think about your favorite fast food meals and see if you can recreate them at home with less calories and fat.  Consider researching recipes online or looking for cookbooks that have more nutritious versions of these foods. For example, instead of chicken nuggets from a restaurant, consider making baked chicken nuggets at home.  Or if you love burgers, consider baking turkey burgers at home on a whole wheat bun.
Summary: Manage your hunger. Plan to eat fast food. Make other food choices healthy. Be sure to get in a workout. Try making your favorite dishes at home.
