In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are not cleaning the wound or removing the piercing, don’t touch your ear. Avoid using clothing or devices too close to your infected ear as well.  Don't wear headphones until your infection heals. Avoid using a phone on the infected side of your head. If both ears are infected, put the phone on speakerphone to use it. If you have long hair, keep your hair up in a bun or ponytail so that it doesn’t hang by your ears. Avoid sleeping on the infected ear if possible. Keep your bed sheets and pillow cases clean to avoid spreading the infection. Generally, you should not swim for 6 weeks after getting your piercing. If your piercing has become infected, wait until the infection has healed completely and the piercing itself has healed. In some cases, your doctor may diagnose you with a nickel allergy instead of an infection. In this case, start wearing earrings made out of sterling silver, gold, surgical steel, or another nickel-free material. These are less likely to cause a reaction.  Allergies may appear as dry, red, or itchy skin around the site of the piercing. Continuing to wear nickel jewelry if you have an allergy can increase your risk of reinfection.
Summary: Stop touching the ear or piercing unless necessary. Avoid swimming until both the piercing and the infection heal. Wear hypoallergenic jewelry if you have a nickel sensitivity.

To keep split ends under control and to keep your hair feeling silky, it's a good idea to get it cut regularly. Even little trims help to keep your hair strong, and help it grow more evenly. It's also a good idea to consult with a hair care specialist who can diagnose your issues, recommend products and further techniques if you want to keep your hair feeling silky year round. Extremely short hair is hard to make feel silky in any way, while longer hair comes with a host of care and cleanliness issues. If you want to have silky hair, growing it out to somewhere between one and three inches will give you enough length to be able to run your fingers through it and style in a multitude of ways, but it won't be so long as to be unwieldy. Coloring gray hair is one of the quickest ways to fry it out and burn it. Using coloring treatments destroys the natural oils in the hair and makes it very difficult for it to stay strong and healthy. The health of a head of hair is much more important to all around looks anyway, than the color, so embrace the suave sophistication of those gray hairs and roll with it. Sunlight will bleach your hair, dry it out, and leave it feeling coarse. If you want silky hair, you want hair that's well cared for and not left out to fry in the sun. Take care to avoid excess exposure and to treat your hair well with natural oils after being out for too long. Wear a hat with a wide brim if you know you're going to be out in the sun for very long. Protect yourself from harmful UV rays by keeping your hair tucked up in a hat and away form the sun. It's important that you have essential nutrients and vitamins as a part of your healthy diet to keep all parts of your body, hair included, healthy. Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Biotin, Iron, and Zinc are all directly related to the texture and health of your hair. Eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals, and take supplementary vitamins if necessary.  Foods like almonds, carrots, bananas, dark chocolate, pumpkin seeds, and bean sprouts are all excellent foods to integrate into a hair-health diet, rich in right right combinations of vitamins and essential nutrients. Eating 100 grams or so of red meat can help enhance the production of Keratin, a protein which keeps your hair and nails healthy and shiny. Fish is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which help to keep hair lustrous.

Problem: Article: Where you buy the flowers and greenery from depends on your budget and preference. You can buy them wholesale, online, or a florist. Because the arch will be kept outdoors, you need to get the timing just right: obtain the flowers the day before or the day of the wedding. Cut some greenery as well. Ferns are a classic choice, but you can use other types of greenery as well, such as eucalyptus or succulents. Fill two buckets with water, and place the flowers in one and the greenery in the other. You can also arrange the flowers based on color, shape, or size to make it easier for you to place them on the arch later. Make sure that the water is cool, and that the buckets are in a shaded area. The buckets need to be large enough to hold your flowers comfortably. If you find yourself pushing the flowers into the bucket to get them to fit, get another bucket. Make sure you keep some leaves on your flowers, to make your decoration look full and green. However, remove the leaves from the bottom 2/3 of the stem to make arranging the flowers easier. You can pull the leaves off by hand or use scissors. Oasis blocks are squares or rectangles made out of soft, green foam used in floral arrangements to keep the flowers hydrated. Soak them in water first, then secure them to the arch with cable ties. You will need a block on top of each pole, and another in the middle of the cross bar. You can buy oasis blocks in craft supply stores and floral shops. Make sure that stem is firmly wedged into the block. It needs to be deep enough so that the plant is stable, but not so deep that the stem pokes out of the other side of the block. If the stem is too long, cut it. If the stem is sticking out of the block, the plant won't get any water and will wilt. Once again, trim the stems down as needed so that they are firmly wedged in the blocks without poking out through the other side. Don't use too many flowers, however, or the arch will become too top-heavy.  Start with the largest flowers first, then fill the gaps in with the smaller ones. The ratio of flowers to greenery is up to you. A more traditional arch will have more flowers than greenery, but you can use more greenery than flowers for a more unique look. You can use more pre-soaked oasis blocks, or you can use buckets filled with water. Alternatively, you can anchor your arch with heavy, potted flowers instead of using buckets filled with sand, gravel, or rocks. How you anchor the arch with the pots depends on the arch's design:  If the arch has flat, metal plates on the bottom, set the flower pots on top of the plates to weigh them down. If the arch has stakes or narrow feet, thrust them into buckets filled with soil, then transplant the flowers.
Summary:
Buy a variety of flowers and greenery for your arch. Keep the flowers and greenery in water. Remove the lower leaves from the flowers. Use cable ties to secure pre-soaked oasis blocks to the arch. Insert your desired greenery into the blocks. Fill the gaps in with flowers. Add some flowers to the base of the arch, if desired.
