Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spray perfume on your hair or brush. Use essential oils. Try scented hairsprays, serums, and dry shampoos. Use a deep conditioner about once every two weeks. Make your own shampoo.

Answer: You can buy a variety of perfumes designed especially for hair, and these are your best option. You can use regular perfume occasionally as well, but since it's not designed for hair, it can leave your hair oily or dry, so use it infrequently.  Don't spray perfume not meant for hair directly on your hair. It might ruin your hairstyle, weigh down your hair, or leave a shiny looking spot. Many are antimicrobial and can help you avoid scalp infections (which tend to lead to smelly hair). Tea tree oil, lavender oil, vanilla oil, and peppermint oil are all good options.  Add 2-3 drops to a cup of water, and massage the mixture into your scalp. Leave it in for about twenty minutes before you shampoo your hair.   Alternatively, you can add essential oils to your shampoo.  Use about two drops per ounce of shampoo. Particularly if you already use hair products, add a delicious smelling one into your routine.  Smells from these products won't necessarily last all day, so consider keeping small refresher bottles with you in a purse or bag.   Some brands even make hair refreshing sprays. Salt water sprays also work well for this purpose and won't weigh down strands. Deep conditioners are designed to keep your hair soft and prevent breakage, but they can also add delightful smells to your hair. Most brands recommend that you use them every couple of weeks, but check the directions to be sure.   For an extra deep clean, warm up your conditioner before using it. Place the closed container  in a sink full of hot water for about a minute before applying it to your hair. Alternate between a deep conditioner that is intended to moisturize (look for ingredients such as emollient butters and oils, glycerin, and aloe vera) and another that is intended to strengthen (look for hydrolyzed proteins, amino acids, keratin, and henna). Many beauty experts believe that store bought shampoos strip the natural oil out of your hair.  One advantage to making your own shampoo is that you can make it smell however you want! There are dozens of recipes out there, but here's one that doesn't call for too many hard-to-find ingredients. Mix together the following and use like regular shampoo:  1/2 cup distilled water 1/4 cup liquid castile soap (soap made of plant oils) 2 teaspoons avocado oil 1/8 teaspoon peppermint essential oil 1/8 teaspoon tea tree essential oil 10-15 drops of the essential oil of your choice


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Heat vinegar in the microwave. Coat the decal with vinegar. Let the vinegar set. Wipe the excess vinegar away. Reapply vinegar if necessary. Wash the area where the sticker was removed.

Answer: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of white distilled vinegar into a container. Put it in the microwave for 1 minute, or until it is hot. The heat will help remove the bathtub decal better than room temperature vinegar. Put the heated vinegar in a spray bottle or container.  Make sure the container you put the vinegar in is sturdy. A thin, plastic container may melt from the heat. The time to heat the vinegar may vary depending on your microwave. Heat it for 30 seconds at a time if you are worried about it getting too hot. Use a paper towel, paintbrush, or sponge. Vinegar has a strong smell, so use something you don’t mind retaining the smell for a while. Coat the decal lightly. The vinegar should soak through and around the sides of the decal. Allow the vinegar to soak into the decal for at least 5 minutes. Check the decal after 5 minutes, and let it soak longer if it still hasn’t loosened up. Allow it to set for up to 1 hour. Use a paper towel to wipe any wet vinegar off of the decal. Then, try to peel or scrape the decal off of the bathtub. Gently use a box cutter or razor blade on the decal if it does not easily peel off. Make sure not to use too much force, or you will leave marks on the bathtub. A plastic ice scraper is another choice to use for a scraper. It will not scratch the bathtub, but it may not work as effectively as a blade. A stubborn decal may not come off easily after the first application of vinegar. Repeat the heating, setting, and peeling/scraping process until all of the decal is removed from the bathtub. It should not take more than a few times of reapplying vinegar. Use water, a rag, and soap to wipe off the area where the decal was. There should not be any sticky substance left over, but the water and soap should remove it if there is. A strong smell of vinegar may last for a while, but it will go away.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand the limitations of natural remedies. Use garlic. Try turmeric. Drink wormwood tea.

Answer:
It is important to note that these alternative remedies are not backed by scientific evidence — evidence that they work is anecdotal, or based on personal experience and word of mouth. Without scientific studies to prove they are effective, there is no way to know if alternative treatments are helpful at all in treating pinworm. If you want to try an alternative method, talk to your doctor first. These alternative methods should still be undertaken in combination with medication from your doctor, and should not considered to be medical therapies by themselves. Garlic is thought to be a good home remedy to help get rid of pinworms. First, eat lots of fresh garlic. The garlic may help reduce and kill the pinworms when you have a bowel movement. You can also make a garlic paste to apply around the anal area. The garlic may kill the eggs and the oil will help soothe the itching.  To make the paste, crush two to three cloves of fresh garlic. Add a few teaspoons of castor oil or mineral oil. Make sure you add enough to get a paste-like consistency. You can also make a paste by adding garlic to petroleum jelly. Make sure to discuss home remedies with your doctor before using them. Turmeric has been shown in lab studies to kill parasites, though researchers are unsure if it kills parasites in humans; however, spicy foods, such as turmeric, are thought to be an effective cure against pinworms. Take 300 mg of turmeric in the form of a capsule three times a day.  You may also consider making a tea with turmeric. Steep one teaspoon of turmeric in one cup of hot water for five to 10 minutes. Drink two to four cups. Don't take turmeric if you use blood thinners because it increases the risk of bleeding. The wormwood herb has been traditionally used to help expel worms from the digestive tract. Add a three to four drops of wormwood tincture to a cup of warm water. Have your child drink one cup a day. Adults can drink two cups a day.  Talk to your doctor before using wormwood. Don't take wormwood if you take anti-seizure medication. If you are allergic to ragweed, you may also be allergic to wormwood.
