Q: Step into the shower and get your hair wet, or mist it with a spray bottle filled with plain water. However, if your hair is dripping wet, pat it dry with a towel or a t-shirt.   This style works the best on straight hair. You can use it if you have curly or wavy hair to help shape your strands. If you have tightly coiled or textured hair and want to try this style, it would be best to start with hair that has been blown out first. Consider doing this after you haven't washed your hair for 2 to 3 days. The oils produced by your scalp will help give you that tousled, beachy look. Drape the left section over your left shoulder, and the right section over your right shoulder. If you want tighter waves, create 4 sections by dividing your hair again along your ear-line; use a hair clip to keep them separate.   If you want even tighter waves, separate the hair into 6-8 sections. The more sections that you do, the tighter that the waves will be. It's up to you how to divide the sections, but do your best to keep them even. 1 way to section your hair is to first separate your hair down the middle and then separate each side into 3 or 4 smaller sections, starting at your forehead and working toward your nape. When creating your sections, it does not matter which side you start on.
A: Start with damp hair. Part your hair down the middle, from forehead to nape.

Q: It’s usually safer to work from a ladder instead of on the roof. Lean the ladder against your house. Keep the ladder away from power lines. Do not place the ladder in front of any doors, as someone opening a door could knock the ladder down.  Always keep both feet firmly against a rung of the ladder, and hold onto the side of the ladder with the hand you’re not working with.  When painting from your ladder, don’t try to extend your reach to paint areas that are too far away. This could cause you to lose your balance and fall. Instead, use a paint roller with a long handle to reach patches far away from you. Purchase a harness and rope at your local home improvement store. Anchor the rope securely to a stable part of your house or to a tree. Put on the harness and then attach the rope to it. With a harness, you can prevent yourself from falling off of the roof if you lose your balance. Safety is very important when working from on your roof, so it’s best to have someone else with you at all times. Have someone hold the ladder from below to keep it stable while you’re working from it. This same friend can help you if you do have an accident.
A: Work from an extension ladder instead of going on the roof if possible. Wear a harness with a safety rope when you’re on the roof. Work with a friend to stay safe.

Q: Since one of your goals is amassing relevant email addresses, you’ll want to keep a master list and be sure to back it up. However, not all potential leads are the same. Some addresses are from people you know and have met. Others are from strangers who may or may not be leads. These might be your VIPs. These are past customers and hopefully repeat customers. You can offer them special deals and special treatment, since they’re a critical part of your business. These are people you have not met, or haven’t met yet, but who may be leads. Turn them from strangers into leads by enticing them with promotions that appeal to first-time customers. For example, a first month free promotion, no set-up charges, or free installation are all promotions that apply to new customers, rather than repeat ones. Listservs are applications that manage email discussion groups, and message boards are online discussion areas where people discuss specific subjects and troubleshoot. Find some lists and boards that are relevant to your business. Keep track of who is active there and learn more about them and their businesses. Ask questions, and if you know the answers to someone else’s question, answer it. An email newsletter is kind of like a more detailed social media post or a more exciting press release. Incorporate pictures, stats, quotes, and ideally try to have more than one person speaking or lending quotes to the newsletter. Include links to your site and your social media sites. Also, make some sort of call to action: take our survey, use this coupon, follow our Facebook page, etc.
A: Keep multiple email lists. Maintain a list of customers. Keep a list of people who have contacted you online. Become active on listservs and message boards. Send an email newsletter.

Q: It should have your name, address, and cell phone info on it in case they get separated from you. Keep a recent picture of your child on you. Do not let children out of your sight, and instruct them to stay close to you at all times. For example, at security, say “you’ll have to take off your shoes to put them through the scanner, but don’t worry, you’ll get them back!” Before take-off, say "The plane is going to go really fast and shake a little, but it's okay, nothing bad will happen." Keep them involved during the scary parts by giving them a small but important job to do, such as putting item bins on the conveyor belt or turning off the electronics before take-off. Kids will like the responsibility of preparing and carrying their own luggage. It can also help them feel more confident if they feel nervous about their adventure. Supervise packing so that everything that your child needs makes it into their bag, and don’t forget a luggage tag with your name and phone number for each bag. Minimize the amount of metal in clothing and shoes to save time at security. Planes can be cold, so have the kids wear a jacket or keep one in their bag. Bring earache drops and show them how to pop their ears to minimize ear pain from high altitude. If they feel nauseated, Dramamine or Emetrol can help. Consult with your doctor before using medications that your child has not used before. Keep wet wipes, napkins, hand sanitizer, bandages, sick bags, and Pull-Ups in your carry-on. Don’t rely on the flight attendants to take care of your child’s mishaps as they have many other passengers to attend to.
A:
Put a “Help, I’m lost” card in your child’s pocket. Walk them through the major steps of air travel like security and take-off. Let them pack their own bag. Dress in lightweight, comfortable clothing and slip-on shoes. Tell them that ear or tummy pain during the plane ride is only temporary. Bring a cleanup kit for messes and accidents.
