Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash and deep condition your hair as you normally would. Apply your usual hair oil and moisturizing cream. Blow dry your hair using a low to medium heat setting. Divide your hair into 8 sections to make it easier to work with. Divide 1 section into 1 in (2.5 cm) squares with a rat-tail comb.

Answer: Since this style will last about 4 to 6 weeks, it would be a good idea to wash your hair and scalp first with a clarifying shampoo to remove any build-up and product residue. Follow-up with a deep conditioner. Use the deep conditioner according to the instructions on the label. Most will need to sit in your hair for only 3 to 5 minutes, but some may need to sit for much longer. You can use professional, salon products, or you can use natural products, such as olive oil and shea butter. The cream will help keep your hair hydrated while the oil will lock that moisture in. It would be even better if you let your hair air dry about 75 to 90% first, then blow dry it. If your hair is prone to damage, then be sure to apply a heat protectant first.  Letting your hair air dry partway first reduces the overall drying time as well as frizz. Consider stretching your hair as you dry it. This will help reduce frizz and make it more manageable. You will eventually divide your hair up into even smaller sections, so don't worry. These initial 8 sections will simply make the smaller sections easier to create. Plan on doing 4 sections in the front and 4 sections in the back.  Twist each section into a bun or secure it with a hair clip. Use the handle of a rat-tail comb to make your sections neat and even. It would be a good idea to comb out each section before you twist it. This will save you work later on. Twist each section into a mini bun, or secure it with a mini hair clip as you go. The parts between the sections will be visible in the end, so make the sections neat and even.  Arrange the squares in a grid-like pattern, like a checkerboard. Don’t make them random, or they don’t look very neat. You may have to make some sections smaller or larger in order to accomodate all of your hair.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill the sink with warm water. Use cold water when washing delicate clothing. Pour in a color run remover product. Soak the clothing in water until the dye bleeds off. Rinse the clothing in warm water. Repeat cleaning for stubborn stains. Wash the clothing normally.

Answer: Add 4 gallons (15 L) to the sink, bathtub, or other container. For most types of fabric, 90 °F (32 °C) water is safe to use and will still encourage a dye stain to bleed out. You can use a thermometer to gauge the water temperature or wash the clothes in a washing machine instead of the sink. Delicates are soft fabrics such as silk and lace. Cold water at 80 °F (27 °C) or lower prevents damage to the fabric’s fibers. Cold water should also be used on dark, bright colors since they bleed a lot in warm water.  Check the clothing’s label or search the type of fabric online to find out the proper maximum temperature for the water. You may put the clothing through a washing machine cycle instead of washing by hand. Color run products are powder cleaners and can be found wherever laundry products are sold. Follow the directions on the back of the box. Typically you’ll need to pour a packet of cleaner into the water and wait for the powder to dissolve. Color remover products can take out too much dye, so be sure to read the directions. Make sure the product is diluted or dissolved in the water bath. Fully submerge the dyed clothing in the bath and stir the water on occasion. You might want to wear some gloves or use a kitchen utensil to avoid coloring your hands. Leave the clothing in the bath for up to a couple of hours. Make sure the original colors of aren’t coming off too. If you notice that they are, immediately remove the clothing from the water. The color remover will continue to work until you rinse it off. As soon as you take the clothing out of the water bath, get it under a faucet. Rinse off the entire fabric with 90 °F (32 °C) water. If you're treating delicates, use cold water instead. If your nice shirt is still looks like a tye-dye experiment, repeat the treatment. You can make another water bath with the color run remover. It may take multiple rounds of treatment to get rid of the dye. Stay alert so the normal color doesn’t bleed out while you do this. Treat the clothing like you would on any wash day. A washing machine with your normal detergent is safe to use. When finished, the stain should be gone, so the clothing will be safe to dry.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to the school nurse or an administrator. Be discrete. Go to the bathroom during class. Practice changing your diaper. Develop thick skin. Change your diaper quickly if you have an accident. Join a support group.

Answer: Both you and your parents should discuss your medical condition with people at your school. Letting an authority figure at school know that you wear diapers may allow you to have some special privileges.  You may be able to gain access to a private restroom where you can change your diapers.  They may also give you permission to come late to class or leave class early to change your diaper. Two more things are necessary if you want to have complete bowel and urinary protection - namely a pair of plastic pull up pants - clear is best so as to monitor adult diaper underneath; and a onesie or singlet for support of the diaper once it becomes heavier.   Lastly, Seni Quatro or Tena slip maxi are the kind of quiet briefs with cotton surface and velcro which attract no attention in a stall. Bring your extra diapers, lotions, and creams in a special pouch that you keep in your backpack or in a backpack diaper bag. Diaper backpacks have special compartments to store all of your supplies, but they look like a regular backpack. You should also pack plastic bags in your backpack.  You can put your dirty diaper in the plastic bag before you throw it away.  Throwing away a plastic bag is less embarrassing than throwing away a diaper. Plan to use the bathroom when other students are less likely to be there. You want to increase your chances of being in the bathroom alone. Diapers are noisy and changing in a public restroom may make you uncomfortable.  You should figure out the quietest and quickest way to change your diaper when you are at home.  This will help you feel more comfortable changing your diaper when you are at school. You may feel more comfortable just pulling down your wet or soiled brief rather than undoing noisy plastic tapes.  Since you won't be able to wrap it tight to throw away, bring a bag for sure. Some people may make fun of you for wearing diapers or ask you questions.  If you are being bullied, you need to let your parents, teachers and principal know.  You should also stand up for yourself if someone is teasing you. If someone politely asks you about wearing diapers, you should explain to them that you have a medical condition. A wet diaper is difficult to hide, and other people may notice.  Changing your diaper as soon as it is wet will prevent the diaper from sagging and showing through your clothes.  Soaked diapers will also smell if they are not changed quickly. Talking to other people who also wear diapers to school can be a source of comfort.  You can also get tips and ideas about how other people manage wearing diapers to school. Support groups can be online or in person. There are many  online support groups and discussion boards. The National Association for Continence also has a list of resources to help you connect with other people.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use honey. Drink licorice root tea. Try thyme tea. Enjoy a piece of hard candy. Try turmeric. Dissolve peppermint and ginger in lemon juice. Try essential oils. Make a bourbon-based cough syrup. Try a traditional Korean folk remedy. Gargle salt water. Try apple cider vinegar.

Answer:
Honey is an effective way to suppress a cough and soothe a sore throat. If you can, add ginger powder for quick relief. Several studies have found that honey is at least as effective at reducing cough than over-the-counter drugs, and is sometimes more effective. Honey helps coat and soothe mucous membranes. It can be very helpful right before going to bed if the cough is making it hard to sleep.  It's good for adults and children, but do not give honey to children under the age of 1 since it could increase the risk of infant botulism.  You can take the honey directly. Try 1 tablespoon every few hours while your cough persists. Another option is to add 1 tablespoon or more to a glass of warm tea with lemon. Some studies suggest that honey is as effective as a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan, an ingredient commonly used in many over-the-counter cough suppressants. Licorice root tea soothes your airways, helps ease inflammation, and loosens mucus. To make it, place 2 tablespoons of dried licorice root in a mug and pour 8 ounces of boiling water into the mug. Steep for 10-15 minutes. Drink twice daily.  Don't drink licorice root tea if you are on steroids or have kidney problems. The active ingredient, Glycyrrhiza, can cause negative side effects for some people, especially those with high blood pressure. Look for DGL, or deglycyrrhizinated licorice, at your health food or drug store. It is just as effective. Thyme is used in some countries, like Germany, for a variety of respiratory ailments. Thyme helps relax throat muscles and reduce inflammation. Boil water and place the water and 2 teaspoons of crushed thyme in a cup for 10 minutes. Strain before drinking.  Add honey and lemon for extra soothing properties. It may also help make the taste more pleasant. Do not use thyme oil internally. Use dried or fresh thyme. If you do not have any cough drops on hand or would prefer to stay away from medicated lozenges, you can usually soothe and stop a cough by sucking on a piece of hard candy.  A dry cough that produces no phlegm can be halted by nearly any piece of hard candy. Hard candy causes you to produce more saliva and to swallow more, thereby suppressing your cough. If you have a wet cough that does produce phlegm, lemon drops tend to work well.  Hard candy is an effective cough remedy for children ages 6 and older. Don't give hard candy or lozenges to children under 3, as they could choke. Turmeric is a traditional cough remedy that many people have found effective for coughs. Try mixing half a teaspoon of turmeric powder in a glass of warm milk. You can also try turmeric powder and a teaspoon of honey for dry cough. To make turmeric tea, add a tablespoon of turmeric powder into 4 cups of boiling water. Let it steep, then strain. Mix with some lemon and honey for additional cough-relieving properties. Ginger helps loosen mucus. Both ginger and peppermint can suppress the irritation in the back of your throat that triggers coughs. Add honey to this mixture for an even more effective remedy.  Add 3 tablespoons of chopped ginger and 1 tablespoon of dried peppermint to 4 cups of water. Boil the water, then reduce the heat. Simmer until it has been reduced, then strain. Let it cool for a few minutes, then add a cup of honey, stirring until completely dissolved. Take 1 tablespoon every few hours. This can be refrigerated up to 3 weeks.  You can drop a piece of peppermint candy into lemon juice. Heat it in a small saucepan until the candy dissolves. Try adding honey, too. Add 1 tablespoon 15 ml) honey to this mixture and stir to combine. Combining essential oils with steam can help you inhale the oils and reap the benefits. Try tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil, both of which are known to soothe airways and open passages. They also contain anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties which helps fight bacteria and viruses.  Boil water and place it in a bowl. Let it cool for about a minute. Add 3 drops of tea tree oil and 1-2 drops of eucalyptus oil. Stir. Lean over and cover your head with a towel to trap the steam. Breathe deeply for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times daily. Just make sure not to lean close enough to the water to burn your face on the steam.  Do not take tea tree oil internally. It is toxic when ingested. If you're interested in an effective cough syrup that is strictly for adults only, you can mix a little whiskey into your mug of warm lemon water. While the alcohol is not likely to have any effect on your cough, it can help you relax.  Mix 2 ounces (60 ml) of bourbon whiskey, 2 ounces (60 ml) of lemon juice, and 2 to 4 ounces (60 to 125 ml) of water in a microwave-safe mug. Heat in the microwave for 45 seconds. Whisk 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey into the mixture and microwave for another 45 seconds. If you have a cough caused by the cold or flu, you could try making a batch of this traditional Korean cold remedy. It combines dried jujubes with spices, honey, and several other beneficial ingredients.  Combine 25 dried jujubes (sliced), 1 large Asian pear (quartered and seeded), a 3-inch (7.6-cm) piece of ginger (sliced), 2 to 3 cinnamon sticks, and 3 quart (2.8 L) of water in a large saucepan. Cover and heat on medium-high until it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 1 hour. Strain the juice and discard the other ingredients. Add 1 to 2 tablespoon (15 to 30 ml) of honey to sweeten the tea. Enjoy a warm mug of this remedy to soothe your throat and stop your cough within minutes. One of the most simple things you can do is try to relax your body and take deep breaths. Salt water is used to help relieve sore throats, but can also help with coughs by helping the swelling go down and dislodge phlegm. Mix 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of warm water, dissolve completely, and then gargle for 15 seconds. Spit out the gargle, and repeat until all the water is gone. Apple cider vinegar is a good way to get rid of a cough without drugs.  You can heat it and drink it like tea with an added teaspoon of honey, or drink it cold with apple juice.
