to the trim, switches, and edges of the shower or tub. Make sure to apply painter’s tape wherever the wall meets the ceiling or the floor. Tape door frames and light switches too. The tape will protect these areas from the paint and help make cleanup easier.   You may want to cover the floor with a canvas drop cloth, as well. You can remove the switch plates around your light switches with a screwdriver to protect them from the paint. It’s damaging on the lungs to inhale paint fumes, so reduce your risk by making sure there is plenty of air flow. Open a window, and position a fan facing outside, so it will whisk away the paint fumes.  If your bathroom doesn’t have a window, wear a filtered respirator to keep your lungs safe. Check if your wall is plaster by inserting a pushpin. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. You don’t have to apply primer for drywall, unless it is a brand-new, never-been-painted wall. If the pushpin does not go in easily, you probably have a plaster wall. If you have a plaster wall, apply one coat of primer with a paint roller. Allow the primer to dry completely, usually overnight, before applying the base coat of paint. Use a low-gloss paint for the base coat. This will make sure that the shinier latex glaze of the top coat stands out. Make sure your base coat resists mildew. The bathroom has a lot of moisture, what with the shower and the sink, so a mildew-resistant paint is best. You can ask at the paint store for recommendations about which interior paints best resist mildew.  Make sure that your base color paint looks good with your top color. A simple way to do this is to pick 2 colors from the same color family (i.e. different shades of red). Alternatively, pick 2 colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, like green and blue. The base coat can either be lighter or darker than the top color.   If your base color is lighter than your top color, the 2 colors will look more blended. If your base color is darker, the top color will appear to be floating off of it. This is a lovely look but also shows flaws in the painting more clearly. The tray is wide enough to fit a roller and so will be useful when you roll the walls. Refill the paint tray as needed as you paint. Paint where the walls meet each other, the floor, the ceiling, and wood trim. Although you will apply most of the base color paint with a roller, the roller can’t get into the tight corners, so you have to get into those little spaces with a paintbrush. A flat-tipped, 2 in (5 cm) polyester paint brush should work great for getting into the small corners and along the trim. Hold the roller at an angle to the wall, and apply slight pressure. Roll up and down, from floor to ceiling. Move to the side about three-quarters of a roller width each time, so you’re always slightly overlapping the previous roll. Remember to only paint the regular walls of the bathroom. Do not paint any tile or concrete. Do not reload the roller with paint for this stage. Simply roll the roller up and down over the wall with very light pressure. This will smooth out any roller marks or paint build-up, leaving your base coat looking beautiful. Weather can affect drying time. If it’s humid, let your base coat dry for an extra day after the first night of drying.

If it's been a long time since you've had your hair cut, make sure that the sudden loss of body doesn't make your hair look limp and thin. Using treatments along with regular shampoo and conditioner will help to keep your hair strong and healthy. Try to use treatments that contain keratin which helps to strengthen and nourish your hair. If your hair is severely damaged, use double or triple concentrated keratin treatments. Comb your hair thoroughly and cut your hair damp. Straighten out curls or waves with a straightener tool or a brush and some hairspray or water. If the curls or waves are very loose, they will become straight when you get them wet. However, if you have tight curls, they will probably remain curled when wet so you may need to straighten your hair with a flat iron before you cut it.  The straighter, the easier. You can use curlers, rollers, or hair tools to restore the curls or waves once the hair is cut, unless you like the straight look. You may find it easier to cut your own hair dry. Do what works best for you. Hair shouldn't be cut with a ratty old pair of kitchen shears. Make sure that you're using sharp, clean scissors appropriate for cutting hair, so the job goes smoothly and your hair ends up looking great. A small pair of scissors will work best for cutting your own hair. Some people like to use razor combs to cut hair, but if your hair is very long, you need to do some cutting with regular scissors first. If you want to finish it with a razor comb, after you've layered, that's fine. If you haven't gotten your hair cut for a while, there's going to be a lot of it to collect. If you start with a ponytail, you'll be able to keep it all in one place relatively easily, but otherwise you're going to make a big mess. Take some steps to make sure that it'll be easy to clean up, if you're going to cut indoors.  Make sure you're somewhere with hard, laminated floors, like the kitchen or the bathroom. Clear out all bathmats, rugs, and other things that'll get in the way of your sweeping. Sweep up the hair immediately when you're finished, into a trash can. Alternatively, going outside can make clean up a whole lot easier. Set up a chair on a warm night in the backyard to cut your hair and don't worry about cleaning it up. Regardless of whether or not you or someone else will be doing the actual cutting, it's a good idea to have a couple of hand mirrors ready so that you can periodically check on the work and make sure you're not taking too much off the back. Mirrors allow you to see your head from all angles, making sure that you're not missing anything. Mirrors are great for checking your results. However, if you cannot see the area that you want to cut without using a mirror, then don't try to cut it.
