Article: There are good ways to practice paying attention to the details so that your brain stays sharp and engaged. One of these ways is by using memory cards. You'll gather a group of pairs (start small, maybe 8-10 pairs) and place them face side down. Flip two over, look at them, and turn them face side down once more. Each time you find a pair, remove it from the game.  Your ability to remember where the cards are on the table will help you to pay attention to the details in all the different parts of your life. You can also play this game with a friend (especially once you're really good and you can show off your impressive skills!). These can be found in any children's magazine ever. The child-level ones are pretty easy, but you can easily find more difficult puzzles. The more you practice these puzzles the better you'll find that you are paying attention to other details. Mathematics is a subject that requires a lot of attention to detail (after all, if you get one number wrong the whole answer ends up being wrong) and are a great way to improve your attention to detail. Do things like balancing your budget by hand. Pay close attention to the numbers and make sure to double check your work. Look closely at a scene (you can do this anywhere: at work, on the bus, at a coffee shop) and close your eyes. Recall as many details about the scene as you possibly can. The more you practice the better and more attentive to the details you'll become.  Another easy way to do this is with an unfamiliar photograph. Look at it for a couple seconds and then flip the photograph over. Recall as many of the details as you can. Repeat this exercise with a different photograph each time. Memory sketches are similar to the memorizing an image exercise. Look at a scene for about a minute and then turn away. From memory, sketch what you saw in the scene, or make a list of the things you saw. When you've finished, compare what you saw with what was actually there. Meditation is something that is incredibly useful for a wide variety of things. It can help you with your physical health, your mental health, and it can help you with your memory and your attention to detail by calming your mind and by reducing your stress (it helps put your brain on more positive neuro-pathways).  Find somewhere quiet to sit for about 15 minutes each day (when you're more advanced at meditation you can do it anywhere: at your desk at work, on the bus, etc, but it's good to start somewhere without many distractions). Close your eyes and take deep breaths all the way down into your belly. Focus on your breathing. When you find distracting thoughts coming into your head, acknowledge them but do not focus on them. Return to your breathing by saying to yourself "Breathe in, breathe out."

Article: The ion technology behind these hair dryers allows them to dry your hair much faster with the least amount of damage. The negative ions the dryer emits cause your hair cuticle to lay flat, which smooths out frizz and coarseness, resulting in straighter, shinier hair.  Ionic blow dryers tend to be on the pricy side, but there are affordable versions out there. Be sure to get one that comes with a nozzle attachment. Look for one that is at least 1500 watts. Ceramic-plated flat irons straighten hair faster and more efficiently than other types of irons, and they are also the most gentle on hair. Look for one that's no wider than an inch and a half, since anything wider isn't ideal for straightening hair (the wider ones are better for styling hair).  Ceramic flat irons are the best choice for those who have fine to normal hair. If you have thick, curly hair, opt for a gold or titanium-plated flat iron.  Some companies make flat irons plated with a blend of ceramic and titanium – these are excellent choices for coarse hair. For general hair brushing (not blow drying), a boar bristle brush is the ideal choice because it's very gentle on your hair. Boar bristles also add shine and sleekness by redistributing the natural oil in your hair as you brush through it. Avoid hair brushes with nylon or plastic bristles for general hair brushing. These tend to cause breakage and hair damage. These are the ideal brushes to use on your hair when you're in the process of  blow drying it. Make sure you get one that has a combination of boar hair and nylon bristles, which will create a smooth, glossy sheen. Avoid using round metal brushes when drying your hair to prevent breakage and damage.
