You can use a traditional curling iron to achieve this. For other methods, visit wikiHow to Curl Your Hair.   Try wrapping sections of your hair around the barrel of a hot curling iron. Do not use the clamp to hold your hair, this will cause crimping at the end of the curl. Instead hold it gently with your fingers.  Hold it. You should hold for 5-10 seconds depending on the thickness of your hair.  Release the curl. Spritz the curl lightly with hairspray.  Gather the curl and pin it. Create a perfect circle by lifting up the curl and compressing it gently. Using a bobby pin, pin the curl. Continue until all of your hair is pinned.   Spray your entire head with hairspray. Then remove all of the bobby pins. Your curls should be both tight and should hold well.  Gently shake the curls loose. Do not use a brush, instead use your fingers. Using a comb or a small teasing brush, gather the hair at the top of your head and gently tease the back of it. Using just your fingers (not a brush), gather your hair in a ponytail. Attempt to keep the crown of your head voluminous. The ponytail can be any height, depending on the look your want. Get the ponytail and wrap the hair around the elastic holding the ponytail together in order to create a bun. Using a second elastic, fasten the bun. Re-curl them, if desired.

SUMMARY: Blow dry your hair to give it body. Curl your hair. Tease the crown of your head. Create a ponytail. Gather the "tail" and wrap it. For a "piece-y" look, pull a few small strand of hair from the ponytail.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Open your mouth slightly and part your lips enough that you could comfortably get your tongue through them. Lightly run your tongue over his lower lip, then pull your tongue back. Slowly and softly dart your tongue in and out of his mouth, pulling back for a few moments each time. For example, you can touch his tongue with yours, then pull back. Circle your tongue around his, then pull back. If you don't pull back occasionally, the kiss might feel aggressive and drool will definitely become an issue! Pulling back also gives a chance to catch your breath. A light nibble on his lower lip might be okay every now and then, but definitely avoid biting him or getting your teeth involved in any other way. Gentle kisses on the jaw are great, but don't suction your mouth to his neck like a vacuum hose. Most people just aren't into hickeys! Plus, leaving behind visible traces of your make out session could get you both in hot water with your parents. Keep it low-key. If his kisses are more aggressive or faster than you'd like, don't suffer in silence! Pull back and whisper something like, "I like being kissed like this." Then, demonstrate exactly what you like. He'll appreciate the direction! Don't just let your hands sit there limply⁠—use them to make the kiss better! Pull him closer and try resting your hands on his shoulders, hips, chest, or the sides of his face.  You could also try tangling your fingers in his hair. If he seems uncomfortable with any of your touches, reel it in. As you get more comfortable, you can make the pressure more insistent or the kisses faster. You can also try changing up the intensity and speed. Avoid settling into one technique for too long! Ending the kiss before it gets boring is always ideal. If you stop while it's still fun, he'll instantly be looking forward to next time! Pull back, look into his eyes, and smile before you part ways.

SUMMARY: Try tongue-kissing if it's clear he wants to take things up a notch. Use your tongue sparingly. Avoid biting or giving him a hickey. Explain your preferences to him in a gentle way. Put your hands to good use while you're kissing. Experiment with different techniques to keep things interesting. Leave him wanting more.

To make a paste that's nourishing and easier to apply, mix half a cup (118 g) of beer with half an avocado and mash the two together into a paste. This recipe calls for lemon and chamomile, both of which can be used alone to lighten hair. To start, pour the juice from three lemons into a bowl. Make an eight-ounce cup of chamomile tea using two bags (four grams) of tea. When the tea has cooled, strain the leaves. Add the tea to the lemon juice and add one tablespoon (0.5 ounces) of almond oil. Stir to combine. Apple cider vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, like beer and lemon juice, can be sprayed onto your hair to help lighten it. Before applying vinegar or peroxide, mix with equal parts water.  When applying either of these as a highlighter, use a cotton ball to apply the liquids to sections of hair.  Keep an eye on the peroxide, as this may have to be washed out sooner (after 15 to 20 minutes even) than some of the other products. You can also use rhubarb in the same way to lighten hair. Dice a half cup (50 grams) of rhubarb root and boil it in a pot with four cups (one quart) of water for 20 minutes. When cool, strain and apply the liquid to your hair with a cotton ball. Henna is a dye that's extracted from plants, and that produces a reddish orange effect in the hair. To mix a henna paste, take three tablespoons (45 grams) of henna powder and mix in boiling water, just enough to form a thick paste. Set the paste aside in a cool, dark place for about 12 hours. Be sure to wear gloves when applying henna, as it will dye your skin and nails as well. In a small bowl, combine the juice from one lemon with three tablespoons (45 ml) of honey, one teaspoon (5 g) of cinnamon, and one teaspoon (four capsules) of vitamin C powder to make a highlighter that will bring out reddish tones in your hair.

SUMMARY:
Lighten your hair with beer. Brighten with a DIY conditioner. Add lighter hues with naturally acidic substances. Dye your hair with henna. Make a lightening hair mask.
