Keep the rods in while you rinse the hair! After processing the hair, rinse it thoroughly for 5-8 minutes with cool water. Rinse the root of each section and gradually move all the way out to the end of the rod. The idea is to get as much of the solution out as possible, but you probably won't get all of it out, which is fine. The solution will probably burn a little as it gets rinsed away, which is normal. The cool water will help with that sensation. Prepare the neutralizer solution if it is not already pre-mixed, and put it into a squeeze bottle with a pointed nozzle. Squeeze the neutralizer over each rod of wet hair, thoroughly saturating each section from root to tip. Work systematically, just like you did when you were applying the chemical solution. The neutralizer completely stops your hair from processing. Carefully remove the rods from your hair, starting at the top of your head and working down toward your neckline, which is the opposite manner as before. Unbend or unclip each rod, then gradually unwind the hair until the rod slips off. Remove the rods slowly and gently to prevent any tangles. Remove the perm wrapper from the end of each section once the rod is off. Thoroughly rinse the hair to remove any excess neutralizer and perming solution. Do not use any shampoo as you rinse the hair. If recommended by the manufacturer, you can also apply a leave-in conditioner. If this is not explicitly recommended, though, do not use any conditioner. You may need to gently detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb as it dries, especially once the hair is nearly dry and only a little damp. Do not stretch the hair at all as it dries. Allow the hair to air dry completely. This can take a few hours, depending on the length of your hair.

Summary: Rinse the wrapped hair thoroughly with cool water. Apply the neutralizer thoroughly to each wrapped rod. Remove the wrapped hair from the rods. Rinse the hair out again with cool water. Let your hair dry naturally.


Place the entire cheeseburger onto a counter or table and let it adjust to room temperature. This makes it easier for the burger to remain an even and consistent temperature during the reheating process. Make sure that you don’t leave the meat out for more than 2 hours, or else it might go bad. Lettuce and tomatoes have a tendency to get soggy during storage, so you may need to toss them. Pickles, onions, bacon, and other toppings with a lower water content tend to be okay and can be saved. If you want your burger to taste as fresh as possible, consider adding new slices of tomato, lettuce, and onions.

Summary: Let the burger rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Examine the vegetables and other toppings for freshness.


. Take stock of your current exercise regimen. If you are exercising little, you have a lot of options to explore as you become more healthy. If you are already exercising, think about how you might want to add to the activities you already do. You might want to start a new exercise class to inspire you to exercise more. A half hour of moderate exercise six days a week is all it takes to start making a difference if you’re exercising little. Keep in mind that you also don’t have to do it all at once -- ten minutes here and twenty there will work just as well. Don’t do the same thing every day (unless you love it). Walk one day, take a yoga class another, and try new activities. Check with your local gym or YMCA for their schedules and amenities. If you try and do a new activity every week or so, you might find your new favorite exercise routine. If you want to be a health nut, you need to be doing serious exercise, and moderate walks are not going to be enough. Think about what sports or kinds of training you might enjoy. You will need to do these activities most days and at a rate that allows your heart rate to stay elevated for 20-30 minutes at a time. You should also mix them up with some weight training. Some good options for cardiovascular exercise might be:  Swimming Tennis Cross-training in a gym Boot-camp style exercise course

Summary: Exercise regularly Start your new exercise program. Make your exercise program fun. Ramp up your exercise.


While popular people are not always liked by everyone, they are known by everyone. In order to increase your popularity, you need to broaden your social circle. Go out of your way to meet and hang out with new people.  Smile and say “Hi” to everyone you meet. Eat lunch with someone new. As you strive to become popular, don’t tear others down in the process.Remember, a kind, compassionate person wins over more friends than a nasty, unconfident person. Never judge people, but always jump to their defense. Don’t bully others, but befriend them. Be kind to people outside your group. Being a clique that despises outsiders will not earn you many friends beyond the group. Instead, work to earn the respect and friendship of outsiders. Helping others accomplish their goals and reveling in their success, is an excellent way to develop a positive reputation. Set aside your desire for attention or your need to be the best. Instead, encourage and assist those around you as they strive to succeed. Your compassion will surprise and delight others.  Offer to help someone with their homework or a project. Stay after practice to workout with a teammate. Congratulate others on their accomplishments. Bullies, haters, negative and unkind people will always be present in your life whether you are popular or an outcast. You may know these individuals or they may be complete strangers to you. In order to lead a healthy life and live as the most authentic you—even if you never become popular—it is important that you address and cope with people that dislike you.  Remove toxic people from your environment. Stop spending time with that negative friend that always belittles you. Stand up for yourself. Let this person know that you do not appreciate and will no longer tolerate their negative treatment of you. Don’t take it personally. Bullying is not a reflection on you, but a self-reflection on the bully. You are not the problem; they are the problem.
Summary: Expand your social circle. Avoid judging and bullying others. Support and help others. Address and cope with people that dislike you.
