Problem: Article: Every time you wash your hair, a little bit of hair dye comes out in the wash. This means that the more often you wash your hair, the faster the color will fade. In order to preserve your hair color, you should only wash your hair once or twice per week. If your hair starts to feel greasy, use some dry shampoo to absorb the excess oils from your hair. Dry, damaged hair loses color much faster than hydrated hair. Always follow up shampoo with a high quality conditioner to keep your hair moisturized and soft. Condition your hair at least 1-2 times per week. Apply a deep conditioner once per week to add shine to damaged locks. Using the wrong product is a leading factor behind fading hair dye. Because regular shampoos and conditioners contain ingredients that may cause hair dye to fade, you should use shampoos and conditioners made for color-treated hair instead.  Avoid clarifying shampoos, as they tend to wash out hair dye, and anything that contains sulfates, as they can also remove hair dye. Look for natural or organic products. They are less likely to discolor your hair. Hot water can fade your hair color quickly. Use the coolest water you can stand to wash and rinse your hair. You can switch the water back to warm to finish your shower! When possible, allow your hair to air dry, and use no-heat styling methods. When you do use heat styling tools, lower the heat setting on them. To prevent damage and color loss, never go beyond 400 °F (204 °C).  Never straighten or curl your hair while it is wet. Let it dry completely first. If you must blow dry or heat style your hair, apply a good heat protectant first. Sunlight is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to fading hair color. If you want to make your color last longer, you must cover your hair before you leave the building. A hat, scarf, or hood are all great options for this, but you can also use a UV protection spray. Sunlight can damage your hair, so if you cover it up, you may find your hair growing softer and healthier! Chlorine can not only cause hair dye to fade, but it can also cause it to change color! If you are going swimming, pull your hair up into a bun so that it doesn't get wet. If you plan on going under the water, wear a swim cap! Salt water may also cause hair color to fade. When going out to the beach, be sure to cover and protect your hair as well!
Summary: Limit washing your hair to once or twice each week. Condition your hair every time you wash it. Use products made for color-treated hair. Wash and rinse your hair with cool water. Limit your use of heat styling tools. Cover your hair when you step outside into the sunlight. Avoid getting your hair wet in the pool.

Problem: Article: For most vegans, the best fine dining options come from specialty restaurants catering to their specific diet. Unlike traditional eateries, these restaurants use vegan options by default or have the ingredients and knowledge necessary to make tasty substitutions. Websites like HappyCow and Urban Tastebud offer extensive lists of vegetarian and vegan restaurants separated by location. With the notable exceptions of lamb and entrees served with tzatziki, many traditional Middle Eastern and Ethiopian dishes are free from meat or animal byproducts. Look for items like injera, hummus, baba ghanouj, tahini, and falafel. When ordering falafel, make sure that the restaurant prepares them Middle Eastern style, not Greek style with a yogurt-based dressing. Because their dishes often revolve around vegetables and grains, many Mexican, Italian, and Indian restaurants are vegan friendly.  Be aware that some restaurants, even traditional ones, use ingredients like chicken stock, egg whites, cheese, and milk to lower their expenses or alter the taste of a dish, so call ahead to make sure their food is vegan-friendly. When dining, try dishes like:  Fried rice and refritos with guacamole at Mexican restaurants. Spaghetti with marinara sauce and garlic bread at Italian restaurants. Chana masala with basmati rice and papadums at Indian restaurants. Casual dining and fast food chains are rarely thought of as vegan-friendly. However, because they serve standardized food, it’s easy to know what items will meet your needs and what you need to avoid. Some vegan-friendly dishes include:  French fries from restaurants like Burger King, Hardee’s, Jack in the Box, Wendy’s, and Denny’s. Black bean based products from restaurants like Taco Bell, Subway, Chipotle, TGI Fridays, and The Cheesecake Factory. Cheese-free marinara pizzas from Little Caesars, Papa John’s, and Pizza Hut.
Summary:
Look for vegan and vegetarian restaurants. Try traditional Middle Eastern and Ethiopian restaurants. Try Mexican, Italian, and Indian restaurants. Look for vegan-friendly chain restaurants.
