Question:

Does anybody know a simple way to make synthetic dreads? Or just cute fake ones?

I need to know a way to do them, an understandable explanationEven if its yarn, hey, whatever worksOr where can I buy that fake hair? Craft stores? Somebody I know wants them for a photoshoot thingJust a quick explanationThanks!

Answer:

Either stop washing your hair for a long time, or twist your hair when its somewhat wet and use lots of hairspraydo little sections of hair and twist it tightly, and spray the hell out of it with hairsprayYou can get fake hair anywhereClaires, the mall, specialty shops, etc.
The rent cost of an apartment and a house may be on par but what is really going to get you in a house is utilitiesWhere do you live? If in the north expect $100 and up heating bills in the winter (in a house) and if in the south probably the same all summer (for cooling)Electricity, tooIn a house, you should expect utility bills which are going to exceed what you would pay in an apartment by as much as 4 times Another thing to consider is maintananceWhen you lease a house the property manager will probably want to charge you for lawn care/snow removalUnless you want to do these things yourself (a pain)Also, a house is alot to take care ofAn apartment might take a hour to clean while a house will take longer.
Renting a house generally costs moreOne of the reasons you've already mentioned: not having neighbors above or beside youOf course, unless it's a townhouse! Rarely will you find a 2 bedroom houseAgain, unless it's a townhouse or duplexThe owner of a house will expect you, likely, to pay any use of public utilities (water, sewer, trash pickup)Unless it's on well and septicThe apartment owner may offer free water or garbage (especially if they have a dumpster)For a person living alone, there is sometimes comfort in knowing that there are people next door if you have a crisisHowever, sometimes the neighbor IS the crisis! Their noise, their rodents, etcSince neither is tax deductible, get the cheapest apartment you can for one year so that most of your money is going toward saving for a home to own!
It depends on what is included in the rent, and this varies by locale or even by building/landlordFor example, your rent might or might not include utilitiesAnd on a house, you would have the other consideration of yard maintenance(Think of others, too, like security.) Now consider if you found the same rent on a house vsan apartment, both without utilitiesYou would then have to factor in the cost of the additional utilities on the house, so the house would end up costing you more(Houses have more area exposed to the weather, so they are costlier to heat and cool, for example.) So just make a list that includes all the expenses to make sure you have anticipated all the related housing costsThen if you find a house for which the TOTAL expenses fit your budget, go for it! A time-honored way to make your housing costs work better is to shareThat would be easier in a house, if roomier, than an apartmentI think if I had it to do over again, I would look to share and go for the bigger place(But with someone utterly reliable financiallyWhat happens if the housemate has a change of mind and you are the responsible party on the lease or rental agreement? Stuck!) Good luck to youThat move out from home is exciting and scary all at the same timeEnjoy it - you are building lifetime memories here.
In the long run renting is more expensive, but initially it would be cheaperFor instance, if you buy a home say on a 30 year loan, after about 5 years or less it will be cheaper than rentingIf your rent is $500 a month and the cost to purchase is $750 eventually renting will exceed the house payementCost of rent rises while your house payment stays the sameAnd to add on; your property value goes up tooI would only rent for short term needs, otherwise it's better to purchase.
