INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Avoid sharing the wash with any other clothes. Don’t use fabric softener. A front-loading washing machine might have more impact than a top loader because the tumbling action is what shrinks the fibers. If you don’t have a front-loader at home, try one at your local laundromat.  Wash your jeans inside out. It causes less wear on the jeans. This method doesn’t work that well for preshrunk jeans or jeans that contain synthetic fibers.  Alternatively, you could soak your jeans in a bucket of hot water. Dunk the jeans into the water. Use a wooden spoon to submerge the jeans completely. Wring them out after the water cools. Dry them on the hottest setting. Make the drying time as long as possible. Read the label first! If it says don't tumble dry, you risk making them too small in the dryer. Air dry them if this is the case. Your jeans should feel at least a little tighter. Make sure you can walk and run in them. Be aware that this method doesn't last. With wear, the jeans will slip back to their original "comfy" shape. With each wash and hot dry, the strength and appearance of your jeans diminishes. Avoid over-using this method. This step is optional but helpful with jeans that are difficult to tighten. Use a pot that’s clean and large enough to fit the jeans. Fill it with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Monitor the pot regularly. Add more water, if necessary. After the water reaches a boil, lower the heat to simmer. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

SUMMARY: Wash your jeans in hot water. Toss the jeans into the dryer. Try on the jeans. Boil your jeans.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This can be included in the end paragraph, or as a formal closing. Write something like:  Thank you for your time and attention on this matter. I appreciate your consideration, thank you for your time. A simple "Thank you," at the end of your paragraph. This is considered polite and professional when signing any type of business related letter or document. Closing lines should offer help, repeat an apology, or reference a future event. Some examples include:  I appreciate immediate attention on this matter. We hope to continue relying on your valued input as a customer. I once again apologize for inconveniences this may cause. If you require further information, don't hesitate to ask. Please provide the necessary advice. I look forward to meeting with you. I look forward to receiving your response. For a business letter it is very important that you format your closing correctly, but don't worry. It's easy. Enter one return or one print-size space between the last line of your letter and the letter closing to format your signature appropriately. This should be flush with the left margin in block formatted text, or centered below the body of the letter in line with the date in modified block format. This is typically a one or two words that follow your formal closing. Choose an appropriate closing for the letter you're writing. The closing of business letters should be professional and respectful. Depending on the purpose of the memo or letter and the person who'll be receiving it, different closings may be more appropriate than others.The complimentary close begins with a capital letter and ends with a comma. No other word listed in the closing should be capitalized. Include something like:  Respectfully, Respectfully yours, Sincerely, Best wishes, All the best, Warm regards, Consider to whom you're writing. A Senior Vice President of a company may require a more formal closing ("Sincerely") than the Sales Representative you play basketball with ("Cheers").  Consider the purpose of the letter. A company memo introducing new policies will deem a more formal closing than a note of congratulations to a colleague who was recently promoted ("All best"). Try using something like "best regards," or "best wishes," if the recipient is your close contact. "Yours sincerely" is better reserved for when you know the recipient whereas "Sincerely" is typically used if you do not know the recipient. It is important to leave about 3 returns of space before trying your name on what is called the "signature line" (you will need to use space above it later). Indent to keep your text flush with the complimentary closing and type your name. Include any titles like Miss, Mrs., Ms. before your name. The signature line may include a second line for a job title or position (like Course Director) if appropriate.  It is always best to write the first name in full.  You may also like to include any relevant contact information like a phone number, email address, mailing address, extension number, or website address. In space you have left above your signature line, write your signature in blue or black ink.

SUMMARY: Thank your recipient for their time. Write a closing. Format your letter correctly. Add a complimentary closing. Enter three returns and type your name. Sign your name by hand.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Deep conditioner helps tame extra-curly or frizzy hair. It’s especially good for treating damaged hair! Make sure your deep conditioner is made for curly hair--the best deep conditioners for your hair will have ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil, keratin, argan oil, and coconut oil. You can also buy deep conditioners with proteins to treat badly damaged hair--look for ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, Panthenol, soybean protein, or glycoprotein. Work from the ends to the roots just like you do with regular conditioner. This is an optional step, but heat will open up the cuticles of your hair, allowing the conditioner to penetrate more deeply. Using blow dryers on your curly hair can damage it, so instead wet three or four hand towels with cold water, wring them out, and microwave until hot, about 1–2 minutes. Wrap the towels around your head and leave on for 5–10 minutes. Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water to remove the conditioner. You can detangle your hair with your fingers or with a wide-tooth comb. Wash your hair as usual, with shampoo made for curly hair. Be sure to wash your hair in a downward motion before rinsing--this prevents tangles! You can use a regular conditioner afterward to help lock in the deep conditioning, but it isn't required. If you have long hair, divide it into 6–8 sections for more convenient handling. Detangle your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb if necessary, but be gentle since wet hair is more vulnerable to damage. If you plan to use rollers, hair styling products, or a leave-in hair mask, go ahead and put them in now before letting your hair air-dry. Deep conditioners aren't made for everyday use, but you should be using them regularly. If your hair is very damaged, deep condition every week. If it's not, once a month is fine!

SUMMARY:
Choose a deep conditioner. Apply according to product directions. Apply heat (optional). Rinse your hair with cool water. Wash your hair. Section your hair. Apply any additional products. Repeat regularly!
