Article: Make sure your shampoo is sulfate-free and silicone-free, because sulfates can dry out curly hair even more, and silicones can build-up on curly hair. Silicones are okay for your hair as long as you use a shampoo with Cocoamidopropyl Betaine or coco-betaine, and that the shampoo does not actually contain silicones. It is important to avoid overwashing your hair to preserve your hair's natural oils. When you do wash your hair:  Massage the shampoo into your scalp and let the suds run down to your ends. Put conditioner in at the midpoint of your locks and work it down to the ends. Comb it in with a wide-toothed comb, if necessary. Scrunch your hair to help define the curls. Rinse your hair with warm or cool water to keep it from drying out. Use a 100% cotton t-shirt, microfiber towel, or even paper towels to dry your hair. Avoid rubbing your wet hair with a towel. Then, apply a monthly hot oil treatment to give your locks a glossy shine. Brushing will break your hair cuticles and cause frizz. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to pull out tangles. Style your hair when it's wet and try not to touch or scrunch it while it air dries. Sprays that contain sea salt are great for defining curls, but make sure it also contains conditioning ingredients, as sea salt can dry your hair. If you have to, then braid or plait it in three or more sections. Also, sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or head scarf to minimize frizz.

Article: S-video cables connect a component (something that generates video, like a DVD player) with a screen (like your television). S-video input slots are circular with several small holes clustered around the middle of the port. Both your component and your TV must have S-video inputs for you to use S-video cables. This will determine which specific S video cable to buy and whether or not you will need an adapter.  S video inputs can be either 4, 7, or 9 pin. If your component S-video input has 7 holes (a 7-pin configuration) and your TV S-video input has 4 holes (a standard 4-pin configuration), for example, you'll need a 4-pin to 7-pin adapter. S-Video cables tend to be much cheaper than their high-definition counterparts.  A gold-plated connector won't oxidize over time (unlike a silver- or copper-plated connector), so while buying a more expensive cable won't affect your picture quality, it may make for longer cable life. High-quality cables are usually cheaper online than in a store. Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy are reputable online providers. If you have multiple components that need connecting, such as a VCR and a receiver, purchase an "S-video cable splitter" in addition to more S-video cables. Splitters should cost around $5.

Make sure your television and component support S-video. Count the small holes in your TV and component S-video slots. Purchase your S-video cable. Purchase any necessary adapters at the same time.
