If you are having trouble growing out your pixie cut, search online for hairstylists in your area, and schedule an appointment to get some assistance. Professional stylists can give you a great haircut as your hair grows out, and they can also offer tips and tricks to style your hair in between growth stages.  Growing out a pixie cut can be a frustrating process, and professional stylists totally understand your pain. They can keep you looking your best and offer support throughout the process! Opt for an undercut, so your hair is short around the back and sides but long in the top. This will let your hair grow into a bob naturally. Trimming your ends  keeps your hair healthy and prevents split ends from extending up your strands. Waiting awhile in between hair trims can cause your split ends to get worse, resulting in shorter hair cuts. To prevent this, trim your ends regularly so your hair grows as healthy as possible. You can get your ends trimmed at a salon. In addition, consider trimming your hair yourself. This will give you a unique, quirky look. If you are growing out your pixie cut and want to try something different, schedule a haircut for an asymmetrical style. With this style, the front of your hair is the longest, and your bangs are angled towards 1 side. This hairstyle is different yet flattering, and since your hair is longer in the front, you can easily grow this look out into a longer bob. This may require a bit of growth on top, but this makes a great, unique hair cut as you grow out your locks.

Summary: Find a hairstylist to help you as your hair grows out. Trim your split ends every 6-8 weeks to maintain great hair. Get an asymmetrical cut.


Be extremely polite to the person no matter what they say. If you engage, you're only making the problem worse. Plus, you could get into an argument with the person that gets you in trouble with your boss. One way to deal with any annoying thing in your life is to just ignore it if you can. Of course, sometimes that's not possible, as the problem impacts your life too much. However, everyone has little annoyances in your day, so try to come up with a way to ignore problems if you don't want to make waves with coworkers. For instance, if your coworker talks too loudly on the phone, maybe you can try putting in noise-cancelling headphones with some soft, instrumental music to drown him out. That is, if you need to stop talking to a colleague, blame it on the fact that you have a deadline. Similarly, if you need to ask a co-worker to turn down a song (or conversation!), you could blame it on the fact that you need to make a phone call. However, try to make the suggestion politely. For instance, you could say, "I hate to run, but I've got a deadline coming up at 5. Can I catch you later?" or "I enjoy having music on, but would you mind turning it down a little? I really need to make a phone call." If your main problem with a coworker is conflicting personalities, work on finding things you agree on or things you have in common. One way you can work on this step is to ask the person about her hobbies or what pets she has at home. Finding common ground can help alleviate some friction. You have pet peeves just like everyone else. However, sometimes you may take it a little far. Look at the situation, and see if what the other person is doing really justifies your anger. You may realize that it's really not that big of a deal, and you should find a way to work around it.

Summary: Take the high road. Ignore the problem. Avoid the problem through work. Find common ground. Make sure you're not the problem.


You can find the name of the bank on the check. You might need to know this information if there's any issue with the check going through. The name of the bank can appear in a variety of places on a check but is usually recognizable as a bank name. It may be the name of a major bank, like Chase or Bank of America, or a local credit union. Look for a name that is of a business or institution and not an individual. Banks usually have words like "bank" or "credit union" in the name. The payor signature is what authorizes you to deposit or cash the check. The signature should be written on a line in the lower right corner of the check. Most checks include information on the payor in the top left corner. This usually includes the payor's name and might include her address. If you want to make sure the signature matches the owner of the checks and bank account, you can look for payor information on the check.

Summary: Look for the name of the bank. Find the payor signature. Read the payor's information.


To give the brisket a delicious smoky flavor, you need to barbecue it with wood chips. Take 6 cups of hickory or mesquite chips, and soak them for an hour in enough cold water to cover the wood. When the hour is up, drain the water from the chips so they’re ready for the grill. If you’re using wood chunks in your grill, it isn’t necessary to soak them beforehand. In fact, soaking wood chunks can actually make it take longer to get them burning. When you’re ready to start your grill, place your charcoal in a chimney starter. Use an electric starter or lighter fluid to ignite the coal and allow the pieces to burn until they are red. Once the charcoal pieces are hot and red, add them to the bottom of the grill. However, make sure to create two piles, one on each side of the grill with the center area free of coal. Some grills have special baskets that are designed for holding the charcoal in piles on either side of the grill. If your model has them, you can place the coals in the baskets. Fat may cook off the brisket as you barbecue it, and you don’t want it to reach the charcoal. To catch any fat or other debris that may fall off the meat, place a drip pan between the two piles of coal in the center of the grill. An inexpensive foil pan works well as a drip pan for your grill. When the charcoal and drip pan are in place, toss ¾-cup (177 g) of the wood chips on each of the piles of coal, for a total of 1 ½ cups (354 g). Next, place the grate over the charcoal and wood chips to prepare for barbecuing.
Summary: Soak your wood chips. Light the charcoal in a chimney starter. Place the hot coals on either side of the grill. Set up a drip pan between the piles of coals. Add the wood chips and insert the grate.
