Article: A salon employee or online advice can help you find the characteristics of your hair. This will help you choose the right treatments and products. Here's the basic breakdown:  Wavy hair (type 2), generally thin and easy to handle Curly hair (type 3) Coily hair (type 4), usually very fragile and hard to grow out Washing hair too often strips it of natural oils. Try washing it once a week. Switch to once every two or three weeks if your hair starts to break easily.  Try to find a shampoo that doesn't leave your hair feeling too dry. To reduce damage, wash hair in lukewarm water and rinse in cool water. The heat from blow drying can cause damage, leading your hair to break before it grows to the desired length. Instead, plait your hair, wrap it in a silk scarf, and let dry overnight. Alternatively, towel dry your hair by wrapping it in a towel and simply rubbing your head for a while. Shampoo strips your hair of natural oils. Restore these with conditioner suited for African hair. Periodically deep condition your hair as well. You can use leave-in conditioner in between washes. Rub natural oil into the middle and ends of your hair to make it soft and supple. This will help prevent it breaking before it grows too long. Jamaican oil, castor oil, Moroccan oil, or lavender oil are all good options. Covering your hair with a satin scarf can help your hair take in the oil. Water strengthens dry hair and may stimulate your hair roots. You can apply water, moisturizing conditioner, or a mixture of half olive oil or half coconut oil. For extra moisture, apply each one, in that order. The oil will help seal in the moisture. If you use gel or mousse in your hairstyle, try hair jam instead. This will hold your hair, then eventually melt into oils to add shine and moisture. These can strengthen some types of hair, but may damage dry hair. Try brushing your hair: if your strands stretch significantly before breaking, you may need more protein. Do not leave in protein conditioner longer than instructed on the label, or it may turn hard and brittle. About every other day or when your scalp feels dry, apply coconut grease to the tip of your pointer finger. Apply at the top of your part and sweep back until all the grease has been applied.  Stop if you notice dandruff, as oil can feed the fungus that causes it. If you have a perm, grease only once a week, or apply hot oil instead. Once a month, use a neutralizing shampoo to clean all products out of your hair. If you use a lot of sprays, gels, and other styling products, use it every other week.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Determine your hair type. Wash your hair only when you must. Let hair dry on its own. Use conditioner each time you wash. Apply hair oil daily. Moisturize. Consider protein conditioner. Grease your scalp when dry. Remove products with neutralizing shampoo.
Article: Modern saints in Roman Catholicism are all Catholic themselves, so if you have not yet been baptized and confirmed into the church, get on that right away. If you have been living a life of sin so far, don't worry: many saints were sinners who underwent radical, life-changes when they joined the church. It's tricky, but you can still make sainthood if you have a miraculous conversion and then turn away from your debasements to take up a life of virtue. There are lots of different ways to do this, from comforting the sick and dying to spreading the word of God, from fighting against poverty and oppression to devoting your life to scholarly study. Whatever you do, it has to be virtuous, selfless and memorable. Don't try explicitly to become a saint—just focus on being the best, most compassionate Christian you can be. Be humble and work to serve God and make a positive difference in the lives of others.  Joining the church as a priest or nun is a good start, but not required. The Vatican works hard to identify laypeople who are candidates for sainthood. Think big! Some saints are honored for extraordinary service to a small group of people or local community, but your exemplary life is more likely to be recognized if you have a bigger, more globally noticeable impact. Miracles are extraordinary events not normally attainable through human works, and thus attributed to the intervention of a divine and supernatural power. Unexplainable healing of the incurably sick, wounded or dying is a classic, as is interceding to miraculously stop or rescue people from an impending disaster. Really, however, a miracle can be any inexplicable but benevolent phenomenon you can conjure up. Just remember, you aren't really performing these miracles: God is performing them through you. You don't technically have to perform these miracles while alive—you could intercede from heaven to make your miracles happen instead. However it isn't as guaranteed that you will be recognized for the miracles you perform after your death, so it doesn't hurt to get this requirement out of the way as soon as possible. No getting around this one: sainthood is a posthumous title. In fact, the canonization process only begins minimum of five years after the subject's death. If possible, try to be martyred for your faith. This happens less and less these days, but being killed because you refused to renounce your (Catholic) religious beliefs is sure to get you and your sainthood case noticed.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Become Catholic. Live an exemplary and pious life. Perform at least two miracles. Die.
Article: Divide phlox while it still looks healthy. The most common mistake home gardeners make when growing phlox is waiting until the plant shows signs of failing or over-crowding before they divide it. As a rule of thumb, allow the diameter of the plant cluster to grow to the same width as the plant's height before dividing it. Divide the phlox sooner if the plant becomes over-crowded, or if the center of the plant fails to bloom and produces less foliage. Divide phlox in early spring, late summer or early fall. Phlox division is most successful when done in the early spring before new growth begins, or in the late summer or early fall when flowering is done. If you want to leave a piece of the plant in its original location, you can plant 1 of the divisions back into the original spot later.  Dig a trench around the outside of the entire plant cluster, severing the plant's roots with the blade of your garden shovel as you go. Chop the roots under the plant by circling back around the trench again with your shovel. Push the shovel blade into the ground, angling it to reach under the plant's root base. Push down on the handle to lift the roots. Continue around the phlox until the cluster lifts from the ground. This gives you a better look at the roots and plant crowns. The crowns are visible at the top of the root base. Make sure each new division has at least 1 or 2 healthy plant crowns and an ample root base to sustain the plant.  There are several ways to divide the cluster:  Break pieces off from the outside of the cluster using your fingers to separate the roots and your hands to snap the plant crowns apart. Keep breaking divisions off until the entire plant has been divided. Use a serrated kitchen knife to cut sections off the cluster you are unable to divide the plant by hand.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Determine when to divide phlox. Remove the entire cluster of phlox from the ground. Wash the soil from the roots with a garden hose. Make multiple small divisions from the cluster. Cut the cluster into 2 to 4 smaller clusters by chopping it with the garden shovel.
