INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your hair is flat and you’re trying to give it some volume and texture, don’t wash it prior to using the sea salt spray. Water will weigh your hair down and shampoo will strip the hair of essential oils, ultimately minimizing the effects of the spray. This technique is best on hair that hasn't been washed in 24 to 48 hours.

SUMMARY: Make sure your hair is dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look into details about your destination so that you'll know what to expect once you get there. For example, being aware of potential issues like poisonous snakes and spiders, local crime, and the safety of drinking water can help keep you safe and healthy when you're on the road. It's a good idea to get a physical before you travel, especially if you plan to be away for a while, so that you have peace of mind about your own health. If you're traveling to a place that requires vaccinations, make sure you get them before you depart.  Bring your vaccination paperwork with you, just in case. It's not a bad idea to carry hand sanitizer with you, especially in airports and other high-traffic areas. Medical assistance while abroad can be very expensive, difficult to find, of dubious quality — or all of the above. Purchasing travel insurance before you leave your home country can protect you if you should fall ill or have an accident while abroad.  Coverage amounts and deductibles will vary, but travel insurance can prevent financial catastrophe if something goes wrong. If you're traveling internationally and have Medicare, get supplemental insurance. Medicare doesn't provide coverage outside the Unites States. Prescription medications can be a red flag when you're flying, and can also make you a target to thieves. Keep your medications in bottles with your name, the doctor's name, and dosage information clearly marked to avoid any issues with flight security. Stash the bottles in a safe place.  If you plan to be away for a while, make sure you have enough medication to last, since getting refills in other countries can be difficult. If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared with an over-the-counter medication.
Summary: Research potential health concerns related to your destination. Get a checkup and any required vaccinations before you depart. Talk to your health insurance company about travel coverage. Bring your prescription medications in clearly marked bottles.

Begin with dry, clean hair. Carefully brush your hair until it is smooth. Pay particular attention to removing any snarls or knots in your long locks. Bend forward at your waist. Brush your hair forwards towards your forehead. Gather your hair into a ponytail at the base of your forehead. Secure it tightly with a rubber band. Imagine that you are transforming your hair into a unicorn’s horn. The ponytail should be located in the same place as a unicorn’s horn. Remain bent over at your waist. Slowly slide your rubber band towards the ends of your hair. Stop 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm)  from the ends of your hair. Adjust the rubber band to the desired length—remember, it is always better to cut a little bit off at a time! Position your non-dominant hand securely over the rubberband. As you stand up straight, try not to shift your hair or the position of your hand. Using a pair of sharp shears, cut just below the rubber band. Set down the hair you cut off, remove the ponytail holder, and assess your layered look. If you want to cut more hair off, repeat the process. After you remove the ponytail holder, make sure to check you layers for evenness. If you notice any areas that are uneven, use a pair of scissors to clean them up. Be sure to look in a mirror as you do this.

One-sentence summary -- Prep your hair. Brush your hair into a ponytail. Position the rubber band. Cut your hair.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Often, when something is wrong in a relationship, one or both partners can just "feel" that they are growing distant emotionally. Where two people once felt close and connected, they now feel like they hardly know each other. Where it was once easy to share emotions, cuddle, and talk about nothing, such interactions now feel forced and "cold". This sort of emotional distance can be a sign of a host of relationship problems, including infidelity. If your girlfriend seems cold and distant, press the issue with her — immediately talking with her to learn the root cause is better than languishing in unhappiness. Note, however, that prolonged emotional distance can be a sign of many relationship problems besides infidelity. The National Healthy Marriage Resource Center pinpoints family and cultural differences, situational conflict, and stress as just a few of many alternate causes. Sometimes, people who know they're doing something wrong can become super-sensitive to any sort of criticism or accusation. Because their misdeeds are fresh in their memory, any sort of innocent teasing or nit-picking can seem like a personal attack. If your girlfriend has surprised you recently with unnecessarily hostile responses to seemingly innocent questions, you may have a serious problem on your hands. Below are a few innocent sample questions that can spell trouble if they're met with anger or frustration:  "Hey, who was that you were talking to on the phone?" "So, what did you do last weekend? "What are your plans for next Friday?" "How are your friends?" "Who have you seen recently?" In one of the absolute worst-case scenarios for any relationship, one partner may become so enamored with someone else that she actively tries to sabotage the relationship she's already in. This can take the form of aggression, rudeness, frustration, insults, and more. In this case, your girlfriend is most likely trying to get you to break up with her so that she can pursue her new relationship free from guilt. If your relationship gets to this point, sadly, it may be best to give your girlfriend what she wants. The pain of a quick breakup is usually much less than the pain of staying in an unhappy relationship with someone who actively wants to ruin it. Normally, random acts of kindness can provide a spontaneous "spark" for a relationship. However, if one partner has been having serious thoughts about someone else, this sort of kindness may simply make her guilty. Almost no one likes receiving appreciation from someone they know they've wronged, so if your girlfriend seems unhappy to receive a gift or some other sort of show of kindness from you, be on the lookout for other warning signs. Below are a few of the sorts of things that normally go over well, but may not if your girlfriend is seriously thinking about someone else:  Gifts for any occasion (especially "just because") Fancy nights out Gourmet meals Surprise appearances at work Clearing your schedule "just for her" Paradoxically, while having feelings for another guy can cause your girlfriend to be unusually defensive or aggressive, it can sometimes cause her to be extremely "nice" or affectionate. If your girlfriend is worried that you may discover her secret, she may temporarily try to woo you by showering you with kisses, hugs, compliments, cuddling, and more. A girlfriend who suddenly seems intent on keeping you dizzy with constant positive attention for no discernible reason may be up to no good, so be wary — especially if the affection seems to increase whenever you question her activities or whereabouts. Of course, affection is usually a good thing within the context of a relationship, so don't be suspicious of ordinary, reasonable affection. Getting lots of kisses and a fancy dinner after getting graduating or getting promoted is fantastic, but receiving the same outcome after asking where your girlfriend has been for the past week should be troubling.

SUMMARY:
Feel for emotional distance. Look for extreme defensiveness. Watch out for sudden aggression. See whether she's uncomfortable receiving your kindness. Watch out for unprompted affection.
