In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are following a pattern, read the pattern's supply list to find out what color and width of Velcro you should buy. If you are not following a pattern, then use your best judgement in terms of size and color.  The smaller the garment, the thinner the Velcro should be. A doll's dress might use 1⁄4-in (0.64-cm) Velcro, but a backpack might use 1-in (2.5-cm) Velcro. Match the color of the Velcro to the color of the fabric when possible. If you can't find the matching color, use white Velcro for light colored fabric and black for dark. Adhesive Velcro may seem convenient, but the adhesive is not strong enough to be permanent. It can also gum up your needle and thread, and make sewing difficult. Unless your project specifies round Velcro dots (which are usually self-adhesive), stick with the regular, non-adhesive Velcro. Remember, you can always cut Velcro into squares or rectangles.  For best results, choose Velcro that has a soft, flexible strip. It will be easier to sew than stiff, heavy-duty Velcro.  Try to get Velcro that has seams on each side. This will make it easier to sew the Velcro on. When possible, match the thread color to the Velcro color. If the stitching will be visible from the front of the fabric, however, match the thread to the fabric instead. Polyester thread is the best choice because it is strong and durable. Avoid needles that are too thin, as they are more likely to snap or break as you are pulling them through the Velcro. For best results, use a general/universal needle in size 14 or 16 (90 or 100 in Europe). It would be a good idea to pick up a thimble as well; this will make it easier on your finger when pushing the needle through the Velcro.
Summary: Find out what type of Velcro your project needs. Buy good-quality, non-adhesive Velcro. Choose polyester thread that matches the color of the Velcro. Get a sharp, thick needle.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Running out of power when you are filming is all to common a problem that even effects professionals. Reduce the risk of running out of power by keeping at least 4 spare batteries and keeping a charger near to where you are filming (if this is possible). If you are working in a remote area power may be inconsistent, so make sure you have a backup to relying on power. Taking these steps reduces power used by camera:  Use viewfinder instead of LCD (this makes a huge difference). If its not possible to use viewfinder(DSLR), dim LCD. Keep batteries warm. Turn off auto focus. A poorly lit subject not only looks amateur, it is also distracting. To make sure you don't underexpose, use a simple tin foil reflector to light the subjects face and at night use a fast lens. if you cannot light the scene it is easier to recover a slightly underexposed shot  than an overexposed shot. Although there are distinct advantages in being a one man film crew, having others assist you saves both time and a lot of stress, as well as this they can help keep an eye out for your equipment. Poor sound is a common problem because it is overlooked, you should have someone assist you by recording sound on an external sound recorder, using headphones to monitor it. Make sure you get more than one angle of something, so you have more options when editing. This is most easily achieved by using a second camera. Follow a 30/1 ratio, so if you are making an hour long documentary film 30 hours. It helps to log your footage while you are shooting, so you can see what else you need. Heat and humidity can cause problems for your equipment. If you think this will be a problem have a backup camera. If you are shooting on tapes this is not a problem just make sure they are stored in a cool safe place. The basic principle of backing is you backup in three different locations.  Computer. External hard drive. To back footage onto. Consider a lacie rugged. Recently the Solid state drive, a very stable and fast storage system has come onto the market but it is still very expensive. Online backup. If you are near somewhere with a fast and cheap internet connection, this is a safe way of backing up footage. Beware even with a fast connection it still takes a long time so only back up top priority clips. When you start editing your documentary you may realise that you need to return to film more. If you are on a small budget this may be challenging, one way you could deal with this is create a trailer using the material you have and try to get more money through crowd funding.
Summary: Make sure you are well prepared of any potential power issues. Figure out the best lighting positions for the scene. No crew. Sound issues. Coverage. Heat/Humidity. Backup. Return.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Washing your hair every day can cause it to get dry and brittle. Each time you shampoo your hair, you wash away the protective oil that keeps it healthy and strong. When you're trying to grow your hair fast, it's best to wash your hair no more than once or twice a week.  In between washes, use dry shampoo to keep your roots from looking oily. When you wash your hair, handle it gently. Don't scrub it or wring it out. Rinse with lukewarm or cool water instead of hot. Air drying is really the healthiest choice when it comes to growing out your hair. Drying your hair with a hairdryer eventually weakens the hair shaft and leads to damage. The same goes for other heat styling tools like curling irons, flat irons and hot rollers.  After your shower, pat your hair dry with a towel. Don't roughly towel it dry. Comb it out with a wide tooth comb. Apply product, such as leave-in conditioner, then let it fully air dry. When your hair is wet, it stretches and breaks much more easily than when it is dry. That's why brushing your hair when it's wet is so damaging. It leads to breakage, frizz and split ends. Instead, use a wide tooth comb to gently detangle your hair. Begin near the tips and work your way up to the roots, rather than dragging the comb down through your hair to pull out tangles. Dyeing, bleaching, and chemically straightening your hair can cause a lot of damage. It's better to leave your hair in its natural state while you're trying to grow it out. You should also avoid hairstyles that can pull out the hair, like tight weaves or braids.  If you're determined to lighten or color your hair, use a natural method that doesn't cause damage. Try  lightening your hair with honey or dyeing it with henna. Learn to love your natural look. If your hair is curly or kinky, there's no natural method that will make it look perfectly straight. Fast-growing, free-flowing hair is beautiful. The sun, air pollution, and pool chlorine are among the environmental elements that can damage your hair. If your hair is particularly fragile, it's a good idea to protect it, just as you would your skin.  When you go out in strong sun, wear a hat to cover your hair. If you live in a place with high air pollution, cover your hair with a scarf or hat while you're out on the city streets. When you swim in pools, wear a swim cap to protect your hair from chlorine.
Summary:
Shampoo your hair less often. Don't use heat styling tools. Never brush your hair when it's wet. Avoid harsh hair treatments and styles. Protect it from the elements.
