Braiding for Dummies

I only learned how to braid literally like two weeks ago, the only time my hair gets braided is when one of my sisters do it for me. I remember checking online on how to braid hair and there weren't any images so I ended up getting extremely confused. It's actually pretty easy once you understand the pattern, you can master this in about a minute. Hopefully the visuals in this guide is clear enough for you braiding newbies!

STEP ONE: Grab a section of your hair and separate them into 3 equal parts. Label from left to right A, B, and C in your mind

---

STEP TWO: Place section C over section B or RIGHT over CENTER

---

STEP THREE: Place section A over section C or LEFT over CENTER

---

STEP FOUR: Pull on all three strands so that your braid tightens, label the endpoints of your hair A, B, and C from left to right

---

STEP FIVE: Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until no hair is left then secure it with a hair tie
TIP: While you are braiding, say the pattern out loud so it's easy to remember..


Right over Center > Left over Center 
Right over Center > Left over Center
Right over Center > Left over Center

And you're done! Now you've mastered the art of basic braiding. You can accent your hair whenever you want but don't braid your hair just to impress a guy. He won't notice anything different with you unless you shaved your head.

Get Tan Quicker for Summer!

Summer, the best time to head to the beach and relax under the sun.

...I personally hate the sun; it makes me sweat, and I get easily irritated when the heat is intense. Some people want to get tans but it takes too long for them to get so they end up purchasing tanning accelerators. Luckily for you, if you're short on cash, this guide will show you an inexpensive way to making your own tanning accelerator!

STEP ONE: Grab sunscreen, cola, an empty spray, and baby oil

---

STEP TWO: The most important step, wear sunscreen! It's very important to wear sunscreen not only to prevent you from getting sunburns but also the risk of getting skin cancer

TIP: SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. The duration of your sunscreen is your SPF value multiplied by 10. So if you apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15, it will last 150 minutes

---

STEP THREE: Combine cola and baby oil into the spray. Add more baby oil until you get the consistency to your liking

---

STEP FOUR: Spray your "new" tanning accelerator onto your skin

Cola can not only be used as a beverage, but also a sun tan lotion substitute! Just don't let anyone see you spraying yourself with cola, it looks weird.
