Article: After you have sewn the elastic and ribbons on your shoes, you can begin exercises to further break in your new pointe shoes. Rise onto demi pointe and walk around.  Make sure you always use your pointe shoes on a proper studio floor so the shoes will last longer. Take a break from walking around on demi pointe and occasionally arch your foot. Standing in first position bend one knee and rise to full pointe on your foot.  Repeat this with both feet, rolling slowly back down. Heat and perspiration from your foot will continue to aid molding your shoe to your foot as you work at the barre. You can do plies or pony trots, making sure to work both feet equally.

Walk on demi pointe. Do roll-throughs. Work at the barre.
Article: To maintain your dread's shape, smooth out any frizz with your fingers. Work a thin layer of wax from the roots to the dread's tip, shaping it into your desired look.  Don't over-wax your hair to prevent buildup or weighing down your dreads. Dread wax is advocated by some hairstylists and rejected by others because it can prevent coarse hair from locking up. If you have thick hair, apply the wax sparingly or use a lighter hair gel instead. Murray’s beeswax is a common product used. Roll a dread gently between your hands to make rounded ends, smashing the tips against your palm to flatten and retighten them. The hairs will roll up into the dread and become firmer. Avoid retightening too often or yanking on your dreads, as too much can break your hairs at the scalp. If you want to trim your dreadlock's length, cut back 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of the tip or hire a hairstylist familiar with dreadlocks to cut them for you. Don't trim your dreads for at least 6-12 months after starting them to prevent them from unraveling. When you're ready to remove your dreads, you can cut them yourself or hire a hairstylist to professionally remove them. Dreads need to be cut off since you cannot bring them back down. Too much tossing and turning at night can tangle your dreadlocks together and cause frizzing. To prevent this from happening, put on a sleeping cap to secure your dreadlocks in place.  A silk cap is ideal for keeping your dreads moisturized and protect your scalp from friction.  Use a silk pillowcase if a scarf keeps coming off in the middle of the night.
