In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Furniture tends to move slightly across flooring with daily use. Pads will help prevent the bottom of your furniture or other sharp parts from scraping or scratching against your laminate flooring. You can purchase pads made out of several different types of materials, like felt, plastic, carpet, and cane. You can purchase protector pads from most home improvement and flooring stores.  Purchase protector pads, or discs, with adhesive on one side that you can stick to the bottom of your furniture. Periodically examine the felt protector pads you attached. The pads may need to be replaced when the felt becomes compressed due to regular wear of the furniture. “Lanes” can often form in areas of laminate flooring that are often used. Rugs or carpets can be placed in areas with heavy foot traffic to avoid this problem. You can place rugs under furniture to prevent scratches and scrapes from marring the laminate flooring, too. Rugs can also be placed in areas that are likely to come into contact with water, like under the kitchen sink. Place rubber or non-slip pads beneath your rugs in heavy foot traffic areas to prevent them from sliding around. Dirt, pebbles, and sand from shoes can easily scratch laminate flooring. Putting mats at your doorways can prevent this from happening. This will allow you, your family, or other visitors to wipe their feet before entering your home. You can also place mat at other areas in the home that are at risk of being scratched by debris . You can enforce a rule that bans people from wearing shoes inside your home, which may help eliminate any debris that is tracked onto the laminate flooring from shoes. Chairs are probably the most often moved pieces of furniture in the home, especially those at kitchen tables and desks. Take the plastic casters off of the chairs and replace them with rubber wheels. This will prevent scratching and damage to the floor. Make sure to buy soft rubber wheels. You can buy this online from websites like castercity.com, and from many home improvement and office stores.
Summary: Attach protector pads to the bottom of furniture. Put carpets or rugs on your laminate flooring. Place entry welcome mats at doorways. Replace plastic casters with rubber wheels.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A pregnancy test is very accurate if you take it after you should have had your period. You can buy pregnancy tests at drugstores, big box stores, and grocery stores. You'll find them with either the family planning products or feminine hygiene products. A few tests are accurate before your missed period, but it should say so on the box.  Take the test when you wake up, as it will be more accurate. Follow the directions on your box, but generally, you urinate on one end of a stick that has a test strip. After you're done, put it on a flat surface. Give it about five minutes or so to work. The package should tell you what to be looking for. Some tests show two lines for pregnant, while others are a single blue line. Most of the time, if you get a negative result, you're not pregnant. However, if you did the test too early (before your first missed period), it may come back with a negative result even if you are pregnant. If you want to be sure, you may need to take the test again. Try taking it again after you should have had a period. Although modern home pregnancy tests are highly accurate, you want to be 100% sure. Plus, if you are pregnant, you'll want to make a plan, such as deciding if you want to keep the baby or starting prenatal care. You can either take a confidential urine test at a family planning clinic like Planned Parenthood or at your physician's or gynecologist's office. Even if a urine test is positive, your doctor may draw blood to confirm that you are pregnant. Then the doctor can help you figure out a plan.
Summary: Take a home pregnancy test. Decide if you need to do it again with a negative result. Confirm a positive result with a doctor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some stylists just don't know how to cut curly hair, and it can be disastrous. A good stylist can help you find the perfect cut for your hair! Don't forget to bring in celebrity photos to give your stylist an idea of what you'd like. If you don't have a good stylist, ask someone you know with a good haircut who has a similar hair type. They'll likely love to give you a stylist recommendation! You may think you need to wash your hair every day, but with curly hair, it's really better to wash it every other day or even less. Washing it too often will dry it out, and curly hair is already prone to dryness. You may only need to wash your hair once a week, even. Conditioners are particularly important for curly hair, as it tends to be drier. Opt for a natural conditioner without silicones or sulfates. Look for one made specifically for curly hair, and when you apply it in the shower, leave it in for at least 2-3 minutes before washing it out. A leave-in conditioner is also a good option, as it gives the conditioner a chance to hydrate your hair. Curly hair doesn't take well to detangling when it's dry, unless you have very fine wavy hair. Otherwise, you're just going to turn your hair into a tangled mess if you try to brush it when it's dry. Wait until your hair is clean, then use a wide-tooth comb to de-tangle it. Rub a dollop of the product into your palms and flip your hair upside down. Then, run your hands through your hair to apply it. Scrunch the ends of your hair to help encourage your curls. For most curly hair types, it's best to apply product to hair that is at least damp. In fact, for curls (rather than waves), using products on sopping wet hair is even better. It helps define your curls and keep the frizz at bay. While you can get recommendations for your hair type, no 2 heads of hair are the same. So even if someone you know raves about a product, it may not be the best one for you. Don't be afraid to switch things up to see what works.  Start with recommendations from friends or family and go from there. Avoid products with silicones, sulfates, and parabens, which can coat your hair and block it from getting the moisture it needs.  Natural products work well. For instance, try aloe vera gel as hair gel or flaxseed hair gel. Over time, continually trying to straighten your curly hair can lead to dry and weakened hair. By going with your natural hair, you can take care of it better, which will lead to happier, healthier hair. For instance, flatirons and blowdryers tend to dry out curly hair and lead to frizziness. Chemical relaxers are even worse because they are so strong. If you used chemical relaxers most of your life, it will take time for your curls to come in. It can be hard to wait because you'll go through an awkward phase of half-straight and half-curly hair. If you can wait it out, though, you'll be rewarded with fun and full curls. To help yourself through this awkward phase, try updos, braids, and buns. Conditioning treatments can help, too.
Summary:
Find a stylist who works with your type of hair. Avoid washing your hair every day. Pick a hydrating conditioner and let it soak in. Comb your hair when it's wet. Put styling products on when your hair is still wet. Try out different products to see what's best for you. Remind yourself that straightening products and heat can cause damage. Wait patiently for your curls to grow out after a chemical relaxer.
