The longer the stems are, the easier the braiding. Daisies work wonderfully, but you can use any flower with a long, flexible stem and no thorns. Place three flowers in a row on a flat surface. Pinch the stems together, just below the blossoms. If any of these three stems break, you'll need to start over. If later stems break, you're probably okay. Once you're reaching the length you want, stop adding new flowers. Keep braiding until you've got about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of bare stem. Bring this back to the beginning of the braid. Gently pull apart a couple flowers near the beginning, and wrap the two ends together several times.

summary: Pick the tallest flowers you can find. Choose three flowers with strong stems. Finish with plain stems.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but you will need to wash your hair before blow drying. Use a smoothing shampoo and conditioner if your hair is thick or prone to frizz, or go for volumizing if your hair is thin or flat.  Only apply conditioner to the ends and mid-lengths of your hair. If you apply it to the roots, your hair will look flat and greasy. Use a wide-toothed comb to work out any tangles while the conditioner is in your hair. The conditioner will make it much easier and will minimize hair breakage. A good hairdryer is essential when you are trying to blow dry your hair straight. The more power and heat a hairdryer can provide, the easier and faster you can straighten your hair. If you need to invest in a new hairdryer, there are several things you should consider:  Wattage. The wattage of a hairdryer is an indication of how powerful an air flow it has. The higher the wattage you can get, the better. Most salon hairdryers have a wattage of around 1800, though a wattage of 2000 may be necessary for very thick or curly hair. Speed and Temperature Controls. Having a hairdryer with adjustable speeds and temperatures is a major bonus, as you will use different settings to achieve different styles. For example, a cool setting can be used to finish your hair with a blast of cold air, which helps to set the style while adding shine. Weight. The last thing you want is a heavy hairdryer which is going to tire out your arm when you're just halfway through a blow dry. Look for a hairdryer which weighs less than two pounds. The weight should be indicated on the box. Attachments. If you are using a hairdryer to blow dry your hair straight, you will definitely need a nozzle attachment which concentrates the airflow and prevents hair from frizzing. Check to see if a nozzle attachment is included with your hairdryer or if it needs to be purchased separately. Dividing your hair into sections before you finish blow drying is a good idea, as it will help you to focus on straightening one layer of hair at a time. Split your hair into three layers - one at the crown of your head, one at the middle sections and one at the nape of your neck. Use butterfly clips or hair ties to keep the top two layers out of the way for now. If you have bangs, leave them down and dry them first before you dry the bottom layer. This is because bangs will dry quickly and they will be harder to straighten once dry. The type of hairbrush you use while blow drying your hair will have an impact on how your hair turns out. If you want to add volume while you straighten, or add a slight curl or flick to the ends, use a thick round brush. But if you want poker-straight locks, a paddle-brush is your best option.

summary: Wash your hair. Use a good hairdryer. Divide your hair into sections. Use the right kind of hairbrush.

Your self-worth isn’t based on what other people think of you or the approval of others. It comes from you and nobody else. Surround yourself with positive people and recognize when you feel low about yourself. Listen to how you talk to yourself (like calling yourself unlikeable or a failure) and stop beating yourself up for your mistakes.  Learn from your mistakes and treat yourself the way you would treat your best friend. Be kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Note if you have people pleasing tendencies. This is often a sign of low self-esteem. Neglecting your needs can be a sign of a lack of self-love. Looking after yourself and taking care of your body isn’t selfish. If you tend to neglect taking care of yourself to take care of others, carve out some time each day for your health. Eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and do things that make your body feel good. Above all, make sure you get enough sleep each night and feel rested each day.  Aim to get 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep each night.  When you take care of yourself, you’re better able to help others. Taking good care of yourself will help you feel better and help you cope with stress. Spend time having fun with friends and family. Treat yourself with a little pampering now and then: get a massage, go to a spa, and do something that relaxes you. Do activities that you enjoy. Listen to music, journal, volunteer, or take a daily walk. The only approval you need is your own. No matter how hard you try, some people just cannot be pleased. You can’t change what people think or feel to make them like you or approve of you. It’s up to other people to make those decisions. If you’re trying to win the approval of a friend group or you want your grandmother to see what a good person you are, you may not be able to do this. Struggling with people pleasing can be difficult. If you’ve tried to change things yet it’s stayed the same or only gotten worse, it might be time to see a therapist. A therapist can help you enact new behaviors and stand up for yourself. Find a therapist by contacting your insurance provider or a local mental health clinic. You can also find a therapist by getting a recommendation from a friend or physician.
summary: Build your self-esteem. Practice healthy habits. Give yourself some care. Recognize that you cannot please everybody. Get professional help.
