INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid shampoos with surfactants or sulfates; if you can, use a product designed for dry and damaged hair. While applying shampoo and conditioner, avoid rubbing your hair together as this can cause breakage and frizz. Apply a leave-in conditioner or natural oil to wet hair, distributing evenly from root to tip. Comb through your hair with a wide-toothed comb. Use a tail comb to separate sections of hair. Place a large roller on the section of hair near the ends and wrap the ends up and over the roller. Roll the hair toward the scalp. Use the largest rollers you can find. Velcro and mesh rollers often come in very large sizes. Although, if you plan to sleep in the rollers overnight, you may prefer to use soft foam rollers. Use bobby pins or plastic clips to secure the roller. The weight of the roller hanging slightly from your head will help to straighten the hair at the base of your scalp, which will prevent too much body at your crown. You can blow dry your hair if you’re in a hurry, but use the low setting to help prevent damage. Air drying the hair will allow the tension of rolling to gradually pull the hair straighter.  If you plan to sleep in the rollers overnight, wrap your head in a smooth scarf, ideally silk. This will help prevent friction between your hair and the pillow, which will lead to frizz and may dislodge the curlers. Do not go to bed with your hair covered by a shower cap. Shower caps are made of plastic and are designed to prevent moisture going in or out. This will prevent your hair from drying overnight. Do not pull the rollers out of your hair, as this may cause damage; gently unroll them and allow them to drop from your hair. Avoid using a bristled brush, as it may cause your hair to frizz or fluff up. A detangling comb is a great option for this step. You may need a little more or less depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Smooth the coconut oil across your hair. This will help seal the hair cuticle and keep it smooth and shiny.

SUMMARY: Shampoo and condition your hair. Use a towel to gently press the excess water from your hair. Work in 2 in (5.1 cm) sections. Secure the roller at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the scalp. Let your hair air dry. Remove rollers once hair is completely dry. Comb through with a wide-toothed comb. Rub a pea or dime-sized amount of coconut oil between your palms.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Protein helps your body build and repair muscle cells and connective tissue. You also need protein to help transport nutrients throughout your body. Not getting enough protein can lead to your muscles breaking down over time, resulting in lower strength and energy.  Elite endurance athletes should be consuming 1.3 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. Resistance athletes should be consuming between 1.0 and 1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. Remember that pounds are approximately double the weight in kilograms. For example, a 150-pound (68-kilogram) endurance athlete should be eating about 92 to 108 grams of protein each day. Some foods contain more protein than others. How much protein-rich food you eat will depend on your dietary needs and the foods you choose to eat.  To get 10 grams of protein from animal foods, you would need to eat either two eggs, 1.5 slices of cheese, one cup (250 milliliters) of milk, 40 grams of lean chicken, 50 grams of fish, or 200 grams of yogurt. To get 10 grams of protein from plant sources, you would need to eat either four slices of wholemeal bread, three cups of whole grain cereal, two cups of pasta, three cups of rice, 120 grams of tofu, 100 grams of soy "meat," or 3/4 cup lentils. In addition to getting enough protein, you should ensure that you're consuming protein at the optimal times. You need protein throughout the day, but you should also boost your protein intake after training or competing.  Ingesting large amounts of protein immediately after exercising helps your body take up and retain more amino acids. This, in turn, will help your body recover from exercise and repair muscle as needed. Make sure you continue to eat enough protein throughout the rest of the day. The increased uptake and retention of amino acids from protein consumed right after exercise will continue for up to 24 hours. This means that your protein source for breakfast will be used as rapidly as the protein you ate after a workout last night.
Summary: Check how much protein you're getting. Choose protein-rich foods. Use protein to recover after workouts.

Q: Some of the chemical compounds in garlic help to counteract infections of the lymphatic system. Get 2-3 cloves of garlic and crush them. Spread this mixture on top of a piece of bread and eat it. Repeat this process daily and watch for the swelling to improve. Get a full glass of tap water and mix in 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of apple cider vinegar. Drink this mixture 2 times a day until you feel better. The acetic acid in the vinegar will help to rid your body of harmful bacteria that can abscess inside swollen nodes. If you are vitamin C deficient, then your body will not be able to fight off infection effectively. You can get additional vitamin C by taking a supplement or by eating the right foods, such as oranges and strawberries. If you decide to take a supplement, make sure to clear it with your doctor. Mix together 2-3 drops tea tree essential oil with 2-3 drops coconut oil. Use a cotton swab to apply this mixture on to the irritated nodes. Repeat this process a maximum of twice daily to avoid irritating your skin.
A: Eat raw garlic cloves. Drink an apple cider vinegar and water mixture. Get enough vitamin C. Rub tea tree oil into the swollen skin.
