Article: Combing your afro when it is dry can be quite damaging to the follicle, and may result in breakage. To protect it as best as you can, comb your hair right after you shower or spray water over your head before you comb. When detangling your afro, you want to keep it as hydrated and moisturized as possible to prevent breakage. For best results, generously apply leave-in conditioner to all of your hair.  The conditioner acts as a lubricant, so your comb can easily glide through your hair. If you do not have a leave-in conditioner, then wet your hair and apply regular conditioner. Use a wide-toothed comb through your hair with the conditioner in. Then, rinse out the conditioner. In addition to leave-in conditioner, you can apply a natural oil like coconut, olive, almond, or jojoba oil before you comb your hair. The oil saturates the hair follicle, which acts as a shield against breakage. Rub a quarter-sized amount of oil in your hands, then run it through your hair from root to tip. Use more oil as needed so all of your hair is thoroughly saturated.  You can experiment with the type of oil you use until you find one you like best. In addition, you can combine oils for a perfect hair repairing cocktail. Combing your hair 1 section at a time makes the task seem less overwhelming and ensures you detangle all of your hair. To do this, separate your top hair from the back, and section off the remaining hair from left to right. Then, you can continue to separate these sections into smaller, manageable chunks based on the length and thickness of your hair. Secure each section using hair clips. You can use plastic hair clamps or duck bill clips, for example. Separate each strand with your fingers to gently get rid of knots before you use a comb. This helps avoid major breakage and damage to your ends. Using your fingers to comb your hair makes it easier to use a pick later on. After you’ve combed through your hair with your fingers, run a comb through your hair to untangle it. Comb from root to tip, starting with your first section of hair. Wide-tooth combs or picks work best with afros because they brush through your hair with the least damage possible.  In addition, using combs help remove stray hairs. You may also use a denman brush to separate the strands, but only if the afro has already been detangled with a comb. To keep your hair tangle-free, hold the end of your hair and twist in a clockwise motion. Then, secure the end with a clip or elastic band. Do this after you finish untangling each section of hair, and you can keep your hair out of the way as you untangle the rest as well.  In addition, you can braid your hair. Divide your hair into 3 sections, and hold the left side with your left hand and the right side with your right hand. Cross the left section over the middle section, then cross the right section over the middle section to make your braid. Then, take the middle section and cross it over the left side. Repeat this until you reach the end of your hair, then secure your braid.  You may also try a 2 strand twist. Divide the hair into 2 sections and cross the right section over the left section all the way to the end. You may add a hair clip if desired, but it may not be necessary to hold the twist together. Once you finish 1 section of hair, unclip another section and start to untangle that 1. Take your time as you comb your hair so you can protect it as much as possible. When you finish, you can either create hairstyles like braids or curls instead of an afro, if you’d like.

Problem: Article: your textbook. If you publish with a traditional press, they will handle the marketing of your textbook. But if you are self-published, you will most likely have to devise a marketing strategy on your own. If you are a teacher, your students are your most obvious customer base. Make your textbook a required part of your class and explain why you have created this textbook. Try to keep your textbook at a significantly lower price than textbooks from a traditional publisher if you have self-published. You don't want your students or their parents to believe you are taking advantage of them. If you have used your textbook successfully in your classroom, then share this with your fellow teachers and researchers. Offer to share small lesson plans or worksheets from the textbook so they can get a sense of the book before they buy it. If there is a major conference in your field that happens every year, speak to the organizers about having a booth where you can sell your book to interested colleagues. If there are popular bloggers in your field who have a wide audience, you might also ask them to review your book as a resource for their readers. You want to be able to show that other teachers and researchers have endorsed this book. This will add to your credibility as an author and to the value of the textbook.
Summary: Market Sell to your students. Sell to your colleagues. Market it at professional events. Get strong reviews.

Some people argue that coming out relieves stress and gives others the opportunity to support you, but you should only come out when you’re ready. Coming out as gay, lesbian, or bisexual can open you up to stigma or discrimination, so it makes sense to be okay with the idea yourself before telling others. Have a chat with a close friend or family member and share your feelings. Ask for their support and/or advice about how you should proceed.  You might say, “I think I might have feelings for Andrea. This is new to me and I don’t know what to do.” Be sure you confide in a person who is supportive and non-judgmental. Reach out to a friend who is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. They may be able to empathize and provide useful advice. Most people may feel more comfortable telling a friend, sibling, or trusted adult about same-sex attraction before revealing these feelings to their parents. If this describes you, ask someone you trust to join you in telling your parents. This person doesn't have to say anything-they're just there to offer support.  You might ask your best friend, older sibling, or guidance counselor to act as an ally and accompany you when you break the news to your parents. When you tell your parents, be sure to communicate your feelings with certainty, so they don't assume what you're feeling is just a "phase." Prepare for potential resistance from your parents. You may wish to put this off until you are certain about how you feel. Your friends or family may question your same-sex attraction by asking what changed, if you were previously dating someone of the opposite gender. They may also ask how you are sure about your sexuality.  Answer these questions honestly and to the best of your ability, so they can have clarity. But, don't be afraid to say "I don't know" or "I'd rather not say." Your loved ones don't have to know all the details of your journey to being same-sex attracted. Having feelings for one person of the same-gender isn’t a clear indicator of being homosexual. Take some time to get used to the idea and see if additional same-sex attractions occur before deciding if you are gay, lesbian, heterosexual, or bisexual. If you feel pressured by others to define yourself, simply tell them, “I’m still exploring.”
