In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Cute hair accessories serve an important function when it comes to growing out bangs. Use bobby pins and barrettes to pin back your bangs and incorporate them into your styled hair. With a little practice, no one will realize that you're dealing with the awkward grow-out stage.  Get bobby pins in color that matches your hair, so you'll be able to pin it back discreetly. Get cut hair barrettes that are tight enough to pull back your bangs without them springing loose. For a stylish look, braid or twist your bangs before you pin them to the side. When you don't have time for fussy styling and pinning, headbands will become your best friend. Get a variety of headbands so you'll be able to throw one on whenever you need to quickly deal with your bangs. To wear a headband properly, place it several inches back from your forehead, then push it forward slightly to create a pretty quiff.  You can use headbands with braids, ponytails and other updos as an alternative to bobby pins. Cloth headbands as well as stiff headbands are convenient to have on hand. Braiding your bangs and pinning them to the side to blend with your hair is a pretty way to hide short and long bangs during the growing-out stage. Sweep your bangs to one side and braid them until you reach the end. Pin the end of the braid under a lock of hair on the side of your head, so the hair hides the pin. These fun updos create the perfect way to hide bangs. Do a ponytail or bun on top of your head, then pin back your bangs right against the hairband so you don't see the bobby pin or the ends of your bangs. Sweep your bangs to one side of your forehead and use a bobby pin to pin them in place just above your ear. Layer some of your longer hair over the bobby pin to hide the ends of your bangs.  Remember to choose bobby pins that match your hair color so that they blend easily into your hair.
Summary: Arm yourself with bobby pins and hair barrettes. Use headbands. Do mini-braids. Wear high buns and ponytails. Do the side tuck.

People like to feel safe and comfortable with their friends, and always ready to have fun. You want to give off the vibe that you’re comfortable with goofing around and also letting others have a good time. So chill out and you'll make everyone else chilled out, too.  Give people a quick compliment. This will show them that you care and that you’re paying attention. Laugh a lot. Have open, relaxed, body language. Show people that you’re up for anything. Try to loosen up as much as possible. If you're tense, your friends will be too. Cut loose! Make eye contact, put away your phone, and make people around you feel important. If you look distracted and like you have a million other things on your mind, then people won’t be able to let loose and have fun around you. Look at people with approval. Don’t make them think you’re condescending or judging them, or they’ll be much less likely to open up around you. If you're unafraid of how silly or ridiculous you look, people will want to hang around you. Here are some ways you can be a total goofball:  Do your best (or worst) impression of someone you all know, whether it’s a teacher or a coworker. Dance like a complete fool, pretending like you think you’re the best dancer ever. Sing the words to your favorite embarrassing song. Wear a ridiculous outfit, or a graphic tee with a silly message. Don’t be afraid to tell a corny joke or make a silly pun. If you've never done something before, that's a good reason to try it! Be spontaneous and try something new instead of making excuses. If you're the one coming up with the fun ideas to try new things, your friends will think you're fun to be around.  Say "yes" more. Instead of saying, “No, because…” try to embrace new challenges and try new things. Check out the last section for some ideas about fun things to do with your friends. Though we all have our bad days, you should focus on talking about the good things in your life and the things you have to look forward to instead of the annoying little things that upset you. This sets a positive tone for your social interactions and makes people want to be around you more.  If you catch yourself saying something negative, try to counter your comment with two positive comments. If the people around you are bummed out, then you should work on trying to cheer them up instead of sinking down to their level. You don’t have to completely fake it and plaster a fake smile on your face if you had a terrible day. However, you should make an effort to be more positive if you’re just mildly annoyed or if you know that whatever is bothering you isn’t a big deal.  If you're having a really bad day, just mention it and move forward with a positive comment. Say, "Today's been rough, but I'm staying positive!" In a group, try to make sure that most people like each other or at least get to know each other. Be a uniter, making the people around you bond and become closer with each other, even if it’s at your expense.  Be subtle about it. If you’re with two people who feel like they have nothing in common, bring up a mutual interest that can help them bond. If you have two friends who don’t really get along, mention nice things about one person to the other that will make them more likely to get along. Help people bond by suggesting fun activities that everyone can agree on, such as bowling or playing Red Rover. The more fun the activity, the better.

One-sentence summary -- Relax. Pay attention to your friends. Crack lots of jokes. Go on adventures. Keep things positive. Bring your friends together.

Problem: Article: People with a genuinely positive attitude are seen as more attractive and charming by others. The more you can cultivate this outlook in your own life, the more most people will like you.  Don't worry if this doesn't come naturally to you — it is something you can learn through practice. Be conscious about smiling more. Accept compliments with gratitude and humility. When you find yourself thinking negative thoughts about situations or people, stop and try to think of a bright side or positive characteristic that can help you feel better about it. Accepting the fact that people are different from you, and that doesn't make them wrong, is part of having a positive attitude. Whether the difference is in terms of behavior, culture, or opinion, remember that these differences are not only okay, they make life more interesting. It's easy to think "Other people would be happier if they were more like me," but remember that most people are happy being who they are, and that all people aren't made happy by the same exact things. Spending time with friends might make you happy, while spending time alone might make a different person just as happy. Make a habit of trying to put yourself in other people's shoes, even (or especially) those who you find difficult to understand or relate to. Remember that there's at least two sides to every story. Make a genuine effort to see how other people have valid perspectives, even if they conflict with your own. Having an open mind will make nasty conflicts less likely. We all have "pet peeves," things that really bother us when other people do them. Think what yours are. Recognize that not everyone feels the same about these things.  Further, make plans to deal with these things when they come up. Does it drive you crazy when people whistle or drum their fingers? Having a practiced, polite response to these behaviors that lets others know you find it frustrating without being critical or combative can help you get along better with others. For example, you could say: "Excuse me, would it be okay if I asked you to stop whistling? No offense, but it really drives me crazy after a while!"
Summary:
Cultivate a positive outlook. Respect differences between people. Seek to understand other people's perspectives. Know your own triggers.
