Q: Listening to someone requires focus and it’s difficult to focus when you have things that are also competing for your attention. Before the person starts speaking, take a moment to put away or shut off anything that might distract you. Some ways you can do this include:  Setting your phone to silent and stashing it in your pocket or bag. Switching off the TV, computer, or any other distracting electronics in the room. Choosing a quiet place to talk, such as an unoccupied corner of a café, your office, or a park bench. Making eye contact is an easy way to show someone that you are listening. Sit or stand so you are facing them, and look at them in the eyes. Keep your gaze relaxed, but avoid looking all around the room, checking your phone, or doing other things that continually pull your gaze away from them.  Don’t stare at the person without ever breaking your gaze as this will seem intense and a little odd. Allow yourself to look away now and then, such as when you reach for a drink of water or as you adjust yourself in your seat.  During one-on-one conversations, try to make 7-10 seconds of eye contact before looking away. and nod occasionally to show interest in what the person says. Smiling and nodding while someone is talking are easy ways to show that you are paying attention and that you are interested in what you’re hearing. Keep a natural, relaxed smile on your face while they are talking and nod your head once every few minutes.  Don’t overdo this! It’s not necessary to smile or nod constantly to show you’re interested. Just try to remember to smile and nod once every few minutes if the person has been talking for a while. Chiming in now and then by saying "uh huh," "I see!" and "yes" can also help to show you’re listening and move the conversation along. Make sure to consider what they’re saying. If they’re telling you something serious or sad, then a neutral expression may be more appropriate than a smile. Much of what a person says may come through in subtle ways. This may include the way they speak, or their facial expressions, hand gestures, or body position. Some things to note include:  The tone and quality of their voice, such as if it’s high-pitched, monotone, or trembling. A high pitched voice could mean anger or fear. A monotone voice may indicate sadness or boredom, while a trembling voice may indicate extreme emotional distress. Their facial expressions, such as if they’re smiling, frowning, or furrowing their brow. If they’re smiling, they’re likely happy, but if they’re frowning or furrowing their brow, they may be angry or frustrated. The position of their hands and arms, such as closed and crossed over their chest or open with their hands at their sides. A closed position can indicate frustration or anger, while an open position indicates receptiveness and cooperation. If you’re bored by what the person is saying—and sometimes even when you’re not—your mind may wander. If this happens, force yourself to focus on their words again. Keep doing this as often as needed during the conversation. With practice, you will get better at focusing, even if you are not particularly interested in what they have to say.
A: Put away anything that might distract you. Face the person and make eye contact with them. Smile Identify the emotions in words and body language. Refocus if your mind starts to wander.

Q: Sometimes the best way to get over feeling left out during a conversation or at an event, it to make others feel welcomed and included. Doing this helps to take the focus off of how uncomfortable or hurt you feel due to the situation, and gives you power to actively change your experience at the event. You can make others feel included by doing the following:  Smile and greet others Start conversations Ask questions about people and try to get to know them Be a good listener Be kind and thoughtful Show genuine interest in what others have to say If you think that part of being left out may be due to your own situation (for example, a heavy study schedule, long work hours, home responsibilities, hobby or sports commitments, etc.), then help your friends by making suggestions that fit in with your schedule. Your attempt to make plans and meet them halfway will be appreciated.  If your busy schedule has interfered with doing things with your friends, ask a friend to run errands with you or join you in something you do every day, such as going to the gym.  Do your best to make plans with your friends, but know when to stop asking. If your friends refuse your suggestions several times, then they might not want to continue the friendship. Don’t keep asking if your friends always say no or often back out at the last minute. In the case where you keep getting left out, you may have to accept that you can't count on these people as friends and have to make some new ones. Make a decision to find people who respect and care about you. While this may be hard, it's a much easier choice than sticking around with people who keep bringing you down and treating you like a doormat. You deserve much better than that. Consider volunteering, joining a club in your area for people who share your interests, and attending local events that interest you. Surrounding yourself with people who share your interests and passions will ensure that the people you meet will have some things in common with you, which can lead to new friendships.
A: Make others feel included. Arrange things to do with your friends. Decide if you need to make some new friends.

Q: If you're using synthetic hair extensions or a wig, read the product label to see if it can be heated. The label should tell you how much heat the synthetic hair can handle. If you're unsure if they can handle the heat or you want to curl your weave, test curl a tiny portion of your hair to see if it melts. If testing to see if the synthetic hair will melt, ensure that you choose a hair that is slightly hidden so that if it does melt, it won't be noticeable. Decide how large you'd like your curls to be and divide your hair into sections. If you'd like small curls, divide your hair into many sections. If you want big curls, divide the hair into a few sections. Use a clip to secure the hair to your head. Turn your curling iron on to the lowest setting which might just be a warming setting (or level "1"). If you'll be curling extensions or a wig, place or secure the hair to a mannequin head. You'll need to wet your hair so that each portion is completely wet, but not dripping with water. You can wet your hands and run your fingers through the hair or you can use a spray bottle to spritz the hair until it's completely wet. Wetting your synthetic hair can prevent it from melting and can help it hold the curl. Wrap the preheated curling iron around one wet portion of synthetic hair and curl it up. Hold the curling iron in place until the hair begins to feel warm. Gently slide the curling iron out of the curl. Continue curling the rest of your hair. If you want to get a tighter curl, pin the curl in place against your head until it cools completely. This will also help the curl hold its shape longer.
A:
Determine if you can curl the hair. Divide your hair and heat your curling iron. Spray your hair with water. Curl each portion of your hair.
