In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can create 1 or 2 French or Dutch braids. If you wish to create 2 braids, you will have to part your hair down the center first. Secure the braids with mini hair elastics. Standard hair ties will be too bulky.  You can end the braids at the nape of your neck, or continue with regular braids. Change up the style by creating an interesting part on either side of your head. Use your part as a guide, and braid at an angle, continuing the line as you braid down the hair. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail. Split it into 3 sections, like doing a braid, then secure the middle section with a hair tie. Cross the 2 side sections over the top of your ponytail, like tying a shoe. Hold the sections against the sides of your ponytail, and secure them with bobby pins. Use bobby pins that match your hair color. Be sure to tuck them inside your hair so that they are not visible. Part your hair at about eyebrow-level, then gather everything above your eyebrows into a ponytail. You can make the style fancier by doing a French braid or by twisting the ponytail into a bun. Create a center or side part, then gather a 1 in (2.5 cm) section from each side of the part, right at your forehead. Twist each section into a thin rope. Pull the ropes towards the back of your head, then cross the left one over the right one to make an X. Secure the ropes by crossing 2 bobby pins over the middle of the X. If your hair is straight, try curling it for a more voluminous look. If your hair is curly, straighten it for something sleeker. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to change your part from how you normally wear it: center, left, or right. When creating a side part, begin the part above your left or right eyebrow, then angle it towards the back-center of your crown.
Summary: French or Dutch Braid your hair. Create a knotted low ponytail. Keep things simple with a half-up, half-down ponytail. Twist 2 thin sections of hair into ropes and pin them back. Switch up your daily look by changing your hair texture or part.

An inventory control system should accomplish three key goals. Knowing these goals are helpful in letting you know if your current system is effective, if it can be improved, as well as how it can be improved.  Your system should let you know what is in your inventory at all times. Your system should have a means of detecting and updating changes in your inventory. Your system should involve a plan for how much inventory to order and keep, as well as when to re-order. The first step to inventory control is being deeply aware of how much inventory you have on hand at any given time, what type of inventory you have available, where the inventory is located, and how it changes over time. Today, there are plenty of software applications that can assist in this process.  Be sure to spend some time searching the software market. There are extensive online reviews and analysis on all the available packages, and these reviews can let you know if the software meets your specific needs. If you are just starting, getting inventory management software that is built into accounting software. This allows you to keep all your financial information in one program, as well as coordinate it. Consider using Quickbooks or Peachtree. These are accounting software programs, but they also have inventory management features that can help you keep track of your inventory, and they come with a central database that can make sure all staff have coordinated information. POS Maid is a free inventory management software program that can be very helpful for small retail businesses. Each item in your inventory should have an item number, a quantity, and a basic description which includes the vendor name and any other important details. This makes it easy to identify precisely what the item is. For example, if you order shirts in boxes that contain 12 shirts, the box should have a label that includes the item number for the shirt, the quantity (12), and a description.  This makes tracking easier by ensuring you know what each box contains and how much it contains. If you have extensive amounts of inventory, look into a barcode tracking system. This will allow you to place a barcode on each item, which allows staff to quickly scan, identify, and transfer inventory information into whatever software you are using. This is an alternative to manual labels. Even if you are using software, it is important to a physical inventory occasionally. This begins by performing an initial count of your inventory stock. You will want to begin by creating a spreadsheet that has each item number, followed by columns that indicate the quantity.  You will then simply count all the available items you have, as well as their quantities. If you are using software, you will want to add your starting inventory to the software. You will need to add the item number, purchase information, as well as vendor. This will add the item to the software, and when you purchase inventory from now on, the software will automatically update the inventory. It will deduct from the inventory when sales are made. Doing physical counts are important to ensure your software is accurate. A physical count also protects against unknown shrinkage and obsolescence. inventory should be counted regularly, but can rely on statistical process or counting those items that move the most or the most valuable.

Problem: Article: Invest in a basic knee-length pencil skirt. Look for one in a neutral color, and go with black for the most versatility. Buy dress slacks in a neutral color. Take your time in choosing a pair that flatters your legs. Purchase a few colorful knit tops. Choose colors that work well with your skin tone. Own a white, fitted button-down shirt. Keep a stock of fitted, short-sleeve t-shirts. Keep a stock of fitted tank tops and camisoles, as well. Look for a blazer. Choose one that matches the color and style of either your pencil skirt or dress pants. Pick out a cardigan sweater. Pick out a little black dress. A good little black dress can be dressed up for semi-formal occasions or dressed down for a night on the town. For best results, look for a dress in a classic cut. Have at least one pair of flattering jeans. Look for a timeless dark-wash denim and a classic style, such as boot cut or straight leg. Also own a pair of flattering khaki pants. For some occasions, jeans are too casual and dress slacks are too dressy. Khaki pants are good for bridging that gap. Purchase a fitted coat suitable for spring and fall weather. Think trench coats and pea coats. Own a heavier fitted coat capable of keeping you warm in the winter. Keep a few casual sundresses handy for warm spring and summer weather. Purchase capri pants for the warmer weather. Choose a length and cut—loose or fitted—that flatters your legs. Consider purchasing a fitted pea coat for autumn and winter. Look for a few heavy sweaters for the winter. Turtlenecks are considered classic, but many other styles also work well. Think black, gray, tan, dark brown, white, and cream. Neutral colors are the most versatile. Think primary and secondary colors. A few brights and variations will not hurt, but try to stick with colors that are always considered acceptable. Avoid colors that are only "in" for the season. Look for colors that coordinate well with your skin tone. Consider a blouse or dress with a small polka dot print. Search for pinstripe pants or shirts. Try on a subdued floral pattern. Look at muted, mellow plaid prints, especially for the fall and winter. Always choose clothing that fits your body properly. Ill-fitted pieces will prevent your style from looking classic, regardless of the pieces you have in your wardrobe.
Summary:
Select clothes that never go out of style and work with every season. Add in a few seasonal basics. Stock up on neutral colors. Search for classic shades and patterns. Check the fit.
