In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A number of purple shampoos--literally, the shampoo is purple--are available at salons and drugstores, and they work to counteract brassiness in blonde hair.  ”Brassiness” is when blonde hair takes on an unflattering yellow or orange tone. It results when the blue molecules in hair begin to fade and leave the yellow and orange molecules to shine through more strongly. Purple shampoos work by restoring blue tones to the hair, helping to prevent brassiness. The minerals in tap water can contribute to changing blonde’s natural tone into a brassier color (from iron deposits) or into a greenish color (from the chlorine in the water). Installing a filter on your shower head will help prevent those color-changing minerals from being absorbed into your hair and will help keep your hair its natural shade. If your hair is taking on a brassy tone, make an appointment at the hair salon to have toner applied or buy toner at a drugstore and apply it yourself.  Toner increases the blue and purple tones in your hair and mutes the orange and yellow ones, counteracting brassiness. You can typically expect to pay about $40 or more for a toning treatment at a salon. A drugstore toner will typically cost around $10, but may not be as effective as a salon treatment. Spraying your hair down with tap or filtered water before going in the pool will help prevent it from soaking up chlorine in the pool water. Be sure the water you’re spraying your hair with isn’t already highly chlorinated, or it will defeat the purpose. If your hair begins to take on a greenish cast after swimming in a pool or because your shower water contains higher levels of copper or chlorine, you can help tone down the green by using an acidic hair rinse. An acidic hair rinse will remove the buildup left behind by styling products and mineral deposits that can cause changes in your hair color.  Mix 1/2 cup (for shorter hair) to 1 cup (for longer hair) of apple cider vinegar with 16 ounces of water. After shampooing, rinse your hair with the vinegar mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Rinse your hair again and style as usual. Dissolve 6-8 aspirin tablets in a glass of warm water and rinse your hair with the solution. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinse out the solution.
Summary: Use purple shampoo. Install a shower head filter. Use a toner. Get hair wet before going in the pool. Use an acidic hair rinse to counteract green tones.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Rune stones are usually sold in sets of 24-33 stones that are all the same size and shape. The stones are made of wood or stone and will have symbols printed on them. The stones should also come with a cloth bag that you can use during the reading and to store the stones when you are not using them.  Rune stones made of stone may be more expensive than stones made of wood, depending on where you buy them from. The material is more about your own personal preference, as either material will work well for the reading. Some rune sets are made of crystals, such as rose quartz or amethyst. You may choose a crystal set if you are drawn to a certain crystal or you feel a crystal speaks to you. Most rune sets will come with a book of instructions that includes the meaning of the symbols on the stones. You may opt for a set with 24-27 stones to start, especially if you are casting for the first time. You can then add more stones to the set as you do more readings. Get wood pieces that are the same size and shape. You can also use pebbles or small rocks as well as smooth pieces of crystal. Draw the rune symbols on each piece with a marker to make your own set. Making your own rune stones can be a fun project and make you feel more of a connection with the set.  You can find a list of the different types of rune symbols on The Rune Site: http://www.therunesite.com/section/rune-meanings/. Make sure the material you use is smooth and soft to the touch, as you do not want to cut yourself during the reading. Pick an area in your home or yard that is quiet and private. An area with lots of light can create a positive, bright spot for the reading. If possible, make sure you are facing north as this will place you in the direction of the gods of Norse mythology, which can strengthen the power of the reading. Some people prefer to do rune readings at night around midnight, as this is known as the witching hour. Pick a time of day that feels comfortable and calming for you so you are in a positive state when you do the reading. This will act as the rune reading sheet, where you will place the rune stones during the reading. Use a cloth that is big enough to hold several rune stones. Make sure the cloth lies flat on the table or the floor. A white cloth will make it easier for you to read the stones and prevent the stones from getting dirty. If you want to make reading runes a habit, you may invest in a rune reading cloth from an occult store or online. You can then only use this cloth for reading the rune stones.
Summary:
Buy a set of rune stones at a local occult shop or online. Make your own rune stones out of wood, rock, or crystal. Find a quiet, sunny spot that faces north. Place a clean, white cloth on a table or on the floor.
