Q: One of the biggest mistakes people make is washing their hair too soon after dyeing their hair. After you wash the dye out from your hair for the first time, let your hair dry naturally, then leave it alone for 72 hours. If you wash your hair before then, you risk the dye fading. You can use clarifying shampoos before coloring your hair, not after. They strip color too. Just because something is labeled for color-treated hair does not necessarily mean that it is good for your hair. Sulfates are harsh cleaning agents that cause hair to turn dry and brittle. They can also cause dye to fade quickly from your hair. If you want to keep your hair healthy and vibrant, then any products that you use must be sulfate-free.  Most labels will state whether or not the product is sulfate-free. If the label does not say anything, check the ingredients for anything that contains the word "sulfate." If you dyed your hair blonde, choose a sulfate-free blue or purple shampoo to keep it from turning brassy. If you dye your hair an unnatural color, such as pink, blue, purple, or green, consider adding a few drops of your dye into your bottle of conditioner. Shake the bottle up so that the dye is distributed evenly. Each time you use your conditioner, you'll deposit a small amount of dye into your hair.  Don't let anyone else in your household use it—otherwise they'll end up with colored hair! Only use white conditioner, otherwise you may end up with a different hair color than you desire. For example, if you mix blue dye into yellow conditioner, it will turn green. Be aware that some of the dye may come off on your skin when you use it. Be sure to rinse your hair well afterwards so that you don't stain your towels. This may sound less than ideal, but there really is no need to wash your hair more often than that. Not only does frequent washing fade color faster, but it can also cause your hair to dry out.  If your hair tends to get oily, use a dry shampoo on your no-wash days to soak up excess grease. Wear a shower cap whenever you take a shower without washing your hair. This will keep your hair dry and preserve its color. Cold water would be the best, but you can use lukewarm water if you can't take the cold. Do not use hot water, however. Not only will this cause your color to fade faster, but it will also leave your cuticle open, causing the color to fade. This is especially important if you recently dyed your hair bright colors, such as blue, green, and purple. If you try to wash all your hair all at once, you risk the colors blending together. Separate the colors in your hair, then wash and rinse them individually to avoid color transfer.
A: Wait 72 hours after dyeing before you wash your hair again. Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners made for color-treated hair. Keep punk colors vibrant by adding some dye to white conditioner. Wash your hair no more than 2 or 3 times a week. Use cool to lukewarm water when you wash your hair. Wash and rinse each color separately if you have multicolored hair.

Q: Sure, you don't necessarily know the people in your audience or that new friend in your group, but they're nodding along with you and looking knowingly at you all the same. This means that they are connecting with you. So reward them with your acknowledgment! Use facial expressions consciously. Strive to reflect passion and generate listener empathy by using soft, gentle, aware facial expressions. Avoid negative facial expressions, such as frowns or raised eyebrows. What is or isn't negative depends on the context, particularly the cultural context, so be guided by your situation. Be quick to identify unexpected behavior that suggests a cross-culture collision, such as a clenched fist, a slouched posture, or even silence. If you don't know the culture intimately, ask questions about the communication challenges you might face before you start to speak with (or to) people in an unfamiliar cultural context. Eye contact builds rapport, helps to convince people that you're trustworthy, and displays interest. During a conversation or presentation, it is important to look into the other person's eyes if possible and maintain contact for a reasonable amount of time. Take care not to overdo it.– Use just as much eye contact as feels natural, about 2-4 seconds at a time.  Remember to take in all of your audience. If you're addressing a boardroom, look every member of the board in the eye. Neglecting any single person can easily be taken as a sign of offense and could lose you business, admission, success, or whatever it is you endeavor to achieve. If you're addressing an audience, pause and make eye contact with a member of audience for up to two seconds before breaking away and resuming your talk. This helps individual members of the audience feel personally valued. Be aware that eye contact is culturally ordained. In some cultures it is considered to be unsettling, or inappropriate. Ask about this in particular or do the research in advance. There is power in pausing. Simon Reynolds says that pausing causes an audience to lean in and listen. It helps you to emphasize your points and allow the listener time to digest what has been said. It also helps to make your communication come across as more compelling and it makes your speech easier to absorb and become comfortable with.  Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself before you begin communicating. Get into the habit of solid, regular breathing during a conversation, This will help you to keep a steady, calm voice and will also keep you more relaxed. Use pauses to take a breather from what you are saying. Use hand gestures carefully. Be conscious of what your hands are saying as you speak. Some hand gestures can be very effective in highlighting your points (open gestures), while others can be distracting or even offensive to some listeners, and tend to shut down the conversation or listening (closed gestures). It also helps to watch other speaker's hand gestures with an eye for how they come across to you. Emulate those you see that are effective and engaging. Notice that the most effective gestures are natural, slow, and emphatic. Be alert to your wandering eyes, your hands picking at fluff, your constant sniffling, shuffling, rocking, and the like. These small gestures add up and are all guaranteed to dampen the effectiveness of your message. Have someone record your talk, then take the time to view your speech delivery in fast forward. Any repetitive gesture or unconscious habit will stand out like a sore thumb and will be somewhat comical. Once you have targeted such a behavior, it will be easier to modify your unintended body language and monitor its reappearance.
A:
Recognize people. Be clear and unambiguous with your body language, too. Communicate eye-to-eye. Use breathing and pauses to your advantage. Consider how your gestures come across. Keep a check on your other body signals.
