Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid tight hairstyles. Use a comb with widely spaced teeth. Be careful with heat.

Answer: Pulling on your hair, or styling it tightly, can cause hairs to be pulled out.  Styling or playing with your hair too often may also contribute to hair loss. Opt for loose hairstyles to lessen the strain and damage to your hair.  Avoid tight braids, using hair rollers, or tight hair clips and holders. Don't use hot oil treatments on your hair either, as they can be damaging to the hair and scalp. Avoid playing with your hair often, twisting or pulling on it. If your comb has tightly spaced teeth, it may pull on your hair more than a brush with wider teeth would.  This pulling can cause more hair loss.  Use a comb with widely spaced teeth for a gentler way to brush your hair.  When brushing your hair, always brush gently. Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair.  Be careful when combing or brushing wet hair and don't tug or pull on tangles. Using any heated tool on your hair can cause damage and increase hair loss.  Try to avoid using any device such as hair dryers or curling irons. If you must use a hair dryer, set it to the coolest setting possible.

Answer: Set your seed spreader to the recommended rate and fill it with half of your seeds. To ensure the best coverage, make the first pass in one direction over the entire lawn. Then, fill the spreader up with the remaining seed and cross over the initial direction. Think of making a crisscross pattern over the area. You may choose to cover the entire area again with an empty spreader to ensure good seed to soil contact. Once you've seeded the entire area, add some peat moss to your soil to set the seeds and help them hold moisture. Using a cage roller, apply a thin layer of peat moss to your seeds.  This layer of mulch will help keep your seeds moist during germination. It may also protect them from birds and limit their movement in the event of heavy rain.  You can also spread your top-dressing by tossing it lightly over the seeded area with a shovel. Use a rake with the tines facing up to smooth down the top-dressing and ensure that the seeds are well covered and in contact with the soil. Perhaps the best way to water is with an oscillating sprinkler. If you have access to multiple sprinklers set them up in various parts of your yard to wet the entire area.  For best results, water your seeds 2-3 times a day for about 5-10 minutes for the first 8-10 days. During this period it is critical that your seeds stay moist. You don't want to over water the seeds, but you do want to encourage germination. Water in the morning to decrease the chances of evaporation.  Don't use a strong spray when watering a newly seeded lawn. You run the risk of drowning your seeds or washing them away.  When watering your lawn, be aware of any potential rainfall in your area. Take the amount of rain into consideration when watering and aim for about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water a week.  If you live in an area prone to heavy rainfall, you could lose some seed. However, the rain must be heavy enough to move the soil before it can move the seed. When the grass reaches about 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) it's time to mow. Make sure the soil is dry when you mow; if it's wet you could pull the grass out of the ground.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a paint extension pole and roller that are compatible. Set up your tall ladder. Use spackling paste if the wall has holes or rough spots. Apply painter’s tape to edges of walls if desired. Put down a drop cloth to protect the floors. Prime your walls if necessary.

Answer:
Extension poles are the key to successfully painting tall walls. Purchase or rent an extension pole from your local hardware store or online, and find a paint roller that will screw into it. Extension poles cost anywhere from $15-$30 with longer poles being more expensive. Paint rollers cost around $10.  Borrowing an extension pole or roller from a friend is a good way to save money. For help figuring out which extension poles and rollers will work best together, ask an employee at a hardware store or do some research online. Place the bottom of the ladder firmly on the ground and position it against the wall carefully. How long the ladder needs to be will depend on how tall your walls are, but choosing an extension ladder is always a good idea. Make sure the ladder's safety features are working properly.  If you don’t have a tall ladder, ask friends, neighbors, or coworkers if they have one you can borrow.  You can also call your local hardware store and ask them if you can rent a ladder for the day. If your walls have nail holes or other small imperfections, apply a spackling compound to the hole. For tiny holes, apply a small amount of spackle to the hole and smooth it with your finger. For larger holes, level the spackle with a putty knife. After the paste dries, gently sand the spot so that it’s smooth.  Use a tall ladder to spackle spots that are out of your reach. Read the tube of spackling paste to know how long it will take to dry. After you’ve sanded it down, you can use a damp rag to wipe off the dust. If you don’t want to have to worry about painting in a straight line, put painter’s tape along the edges of the wall. Use a tall ladder to tape the very top edges. Be careful and tape slowly, making sure the tape is even and firmly pressed down. Paint brushes, rollers, and edgers can all be messy, especially when attached to an extension pole. To ensure primer or paint doesn't get on the floor, spread out a drop cloth. Make sure the cloth reaches all the way to the wall's edge. You can also use a drop cloth to cover any furniture in the room that isn't able to be moved. Primer is useful when painting over a dark color or damaged wall, as well as in many other situations. There are many different primers made for certain scenarios, so go online or ask an employee at a hardware store if your walls need a primer.  Attach your paint brush or roller to an extension pole to prime the tall parts of your wall. Let the primer dry before beginning the rest of the painting. Check your can of primer to see how long it will take to dry completely.
