Beauty supply stores and websites should have a variety of electric hot combs to choose from. Look for one with multiple heat settings so that you can adjust the temperature to your hair texture.  They come in a variety of sizes and materials, including titanium, ceramic, and gold, which can heat up in under 30 seconds. If you have coarse or thick hair, an electric hot comb may not work as well as a manual hot comb. Most hot combs will have a kickstand so that the spine isn’t touching anything as it’s heating up. Even so, the device could tip over if you’re not careful, so make sure it’s heating up on a countertop away from towels, hair accessories and products, and water. Your comb should have come with information that details what temperature or setting to use for your hair type. If you’ve lost this paperwork, err on the side of a lower temperature or setting to start out with, then increase it if it seems like it’s not straightening your hair quickly enough. Lower temperatures will be for finer hair, while higher temperatures will be for coarser, thicker hair. Unclip one section of hair near the nape of your neck, and get the comb as close as possible to your scalp so you can straighten your roots. Be careful not to let the comb actually touch your skin, since it can burn you instantly. Holding the section of hair out from your head with one hand, use the other to gently pull the comb all the way from the root through the ends of the hair in one quick motion. If you’re only straightening your roots, stop the comb before it reaches any previously processed hair. Repeat this process once more on the same section of hair if one pass-through didn’t get it straight enough. Put the comb underneath the section of hair with the teeth pointing up, and comb away from the roots in an arching motion. This will add more volume as you straighten. You can also rotate your wrist as you approach the ends of your hair to get a little bit of curl at the bottom. Continue hot combing, working your way up from the nape of your neck to the top of your head, and then forward toward your face. If you have trouble reaching the back pieces, have someone help you. As soon as you’re done, turn off and unplug the device. Hot combs can reach extremely high temperatures, and you risk starting a fire if you leave it on unattended.

Whether you live near one another or far apart, it is still important to discuss boundaries for your relationship. This includes physical and non-physical boundaries.  Don't be quick to assume your partner feels the same about any given thing as you do. Establishing boundaries can help eliminate that instinct and allow for better communication and a more healthy relationship.  When setting boundaries, try not to use language like “never” or “always.” These are less likely to last because they are absolute and unrealistic. Don't keep important things to yourself. Speak up, but also be willing to listen when your partner has something to say. If you establish good communication early on, it will set you up for a healthier relationship.  Don't physically leave (or hang up the phone) is your discussion is not over. Walking out in the middle of a discussion will only make the problem bigger and last longer.  Being in a long distance relationship can make it difficult to justify spending your rare physical time together having serious discussions about feelings or issues, but doing so is important. Since you are in college and no longer in high school, it is likely you might choose to engage in a sexual or intimate relationship with your girlfriend or boyfriend. Just make sure you are ready to discuss these important things with your partner.  Just because you are in a relationship does not give automatic consent. Consent is “affirmative, voluntary, and sober.”  It can also be taken away at any time by either partner. Make sure both partners have always given clear consent. Both partners should consider getting tested for STDs prior to becoming intimate. One in four people under the age of 25 has a sexually transmitted disease. Practice safe sex. Especially in long distance relationships, this is very important to discuss with your partner. If you are in a monogamous relationship, then infidelity could lead to the end of that relationship. Be open with your partner about your beliefs and opinions on what constitutes cheating, and what cheating could mean for your relationship. Your lives will be hectic—between school, work, and personal commitments, it will be easy to feel stressed out and disconnected. But when you are together, really be there with your significant other in the moment, and give them your attention. If you stay focused in the moment, even small arguments will be less likely to expand into bigger deals. Don't let an argument about what to make for dinner end up snowballing into an argument about other, bigger things. This will help build trust and loyalty with your significant other. If you and your significant other are both college students, there will have to be a good amount of give and take.  Be understanding when your boyfriend or girlfriend is very busy with school or work. If you are understanding with them, they will be better able to return the favor when you get busy. If you find your schedules are especially conflicting and you are finding it harder and harder to be understanding when your plans get broken due to other commitments, try talking it out with one another and making a schedule that you can both stick to.

Old makeup can encourage the growth of bacteria and clog your skin. Before you sweat or sleep, take off your makeup. To make sure that it is completely removed, use a makeup remover, oil cleanser, or micellar water before cleansing your face. Though you may want to pop the acne on your face, you should resist the temptation. Popping pimples can lead to worse redness and swelling of the area, and it can push bacteria and pus deeper into your pores, making the pimple hang around longer. Popping zits can also lead to scarring. If your acne doesn't go away with any remedy, acne product, and a regular face wash schedule, you may have severe acne. This is treatable, but you need to see a doctor.   Some treatments that your dermatologist can perform include laser or light treatments, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. If you have a large cyst, they may even inject it with a steroid. If your acne is severe, a dermatologist may prescribe an antibiotic or isotretinoin (Accutane). Though this won't quickly get rid of existing acne, you can make changes to your life to help prevent and heal acne. For starters, washing your face twice each day is the best way to heal and prevent acne. You can also drink plenty of water, add more healthy foods like fruits and vegetables to your diet, and exercise to help prevent acne. However, these changes take awhile to work and won't clear up acne fast, but help in the long run.
