Q: Dip the brush into the bleach and scoop out some product. Then, starting from the bottom, paint the bleach onto your hair using upward strokes. Apply the bleach in a thick layer, ensuring that all strands are equally covered as you go. Work the bleach about halfway up your hair, stopping at the point where you’d like the bleach to ombré into your natural color.  Try to keep your bleach application as smooth and consistent as possible. This will lead to a smoother and more consistent ombré. Feel free to bleach a larger section of hair if you’d like your ombré to be less gradual. Make your ombre appear more like a gradient by applying thin streaks of bleach product to the upper half of your hair. Work in upward strokes, arranging these streaks randomly above the lower section of bleach. Try to use smaller amounts amount bleach for these random sections to vary up the ombré effect in your finished look. Try to avoid getting excess bleach mixture on your scalp, as this can irritate the skin. Read the label on your bleaching kit to see how long the hair bleach needs to stay on your hair. Depending on your hair color, you might need to wait around 30 minutes for your hair to lighten to the desired shade.  Don’t keep the bleach on for longer than the specified time. Someone with brown hair will probably need to keep the bleach product in for longer than an individual with blonde hair would. Set the faucet to a warm temperature and wash out the bleach beneath the running water. Keep your gloves on as you rinse your locks, using your fingers to get rid of any extra bleach clumps. Continue rinsing until your hair is completely bleach-free. When wet, your bleached hair will look significantly darker than its true shade. Pour a small amount of conditioner for bleached hair onto your hands and knead it into your scalp. Focus on the lower sections of hair, which were just exposed to bleach. Work the product into your hair until it reaches a foamy lather, then rinse it out. Read the label on the conditioner to see if the product needs to sit in your hair for a certain amount of time.
A: Use a brush to apply the bleach from the bottom up. Add highlighting streaks of bleach above your ombré line. Let the bleach sit for 30 minutes or less. Rinse off the bleach in the sink or bathtub. Massage a coin-sized amount of conditioner into your treated hair.

Q: A trench coat isn’t only for dressing up. Wearing a trench coat with a plain T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers is a comfortable and fashionable look. You can trade regular jeans for black denim to make the look slightly less casual.  Wear a beige trench coat with a white T-shirt, light jeans, and white sneakers. Throw a light gray sweater over the T-shirt in colder weather. This is a great look for mild spring weather. Wear a pair of denim shorts, with a long sleeve button-up, and a medium length trench coat. Roll the cuffs of your shirt over the cuffs of your trench coat.  Keep the look very casual by pairing this outfit with a pair of plain sneakers. Slightly dress up the look by wearing pointed-toe flats. Pairing a shirtdress with a medium length trench coat is stylish and classy. Pair a beige trench coat with a black shirtdress and flats for a simple look. Wear a dark trench coat with a patterned dress and ankle boots for a slightly dressier look. Choose a brightly colored trench coat to liven up the look. Sportswear isn’t worn only in the gym these days. You can wear nice athletic pants, shirt, and sneakers under a trench coat for a casual and comfortable look. Make sure the sportswear isn’t sweat-stained or torn. The sportswear should be nicer than what you would wear for an intense workout at the gym.  Wear a matching track suit with a gray trench coat. You can also wear a plain sweater with your athletic pants and sneakers.
A: Wear a T-shirt and jeans. Pair your coat with denim shorts and a button-up shirt. Try out a shirtdress with your coat. Put on sportswear.

Q: Before you grab an insecticide and douse the beehive, take the time to prepare for the complete process. This is especially important if the hive is built into or onto your house. You should:  Prepare to do repairs following the removal of a large honey bee hive from a home. Walls or structure may need to be cut away to gain access. Plan to bee-proof to avoid further infestation in areas where the hive and honey can't be removed (for instance, behind stucco and brick). Consider evacuating those with allergies, children, pets, and the elderly from the immediate area where a hive is active. Bees are normally asleep (and thus in the hive) in the late evening and early morning, so these are the best times to spray the hive. In terms of seasons, the best time to remove a beehive is late winter to early spring. During this time the beehive population is smallest. Bees are less active at night, and will likely all be at the hive then. However, it's harder to see and effectively kill bees at night. If you do want to spray at night, use a flashlight with red cellophane covering it—bees can’t see red light. Dress appropriately for exterminating a beehive. Clothing is a very important part in the process of removing beehives. Light colored clothing with a smooth texture is best for removing bees. Dark colors and rough clothing are more likely to agitate bees.  Choose heavyweight clothing that covers your arms and legs. You may want to invest in a white beekeeper’s suit. Wear gloves that offer substantial protection for your hands. Professionals usually prefer leather gloves when removing beehives. Professionals use a beekeeper's veil, which offers great protection while not hindering your vision. Buy one online or at an agricultural supply store. Don’t wear heavy scents like perfume, cologne, or scented deodorant. The bees may confuse your scent for that of flowers. While you can find homemade recipes for eradicating beehives online, your best bet is to use a commercial insecticide. Go to a home center and pick out an insecticide spray that is marketed for use on bees. Instead of a spray, you can instead buy an insecticide dusting powder. The application process will be quite similar regardless. All beehives have a main entry hole that is usually easy to locate. Hold the nozzle of the spray can right up to the opening and spray for several seconds, until you estimate that you’ve saturated the entire hive interior.  If you’re using an insecticide dust, stick the tip of the applicator into the hole and squeeze the bottle to inject the dust into the hive. If you can’t find or can’t access the main entry hole, spray the insecticide all over the outside of the hive. This will do the job eventually, but it will likely take several more spraying applications over a few days. Check the hive the day after spraying it. If you don’t see any bees enter or exit over a period of 5-10 minutes, the hive is almost certainly eradicated. Otherwise, spray your chosen insecticide into the hole again and check the following day for activity. Don’t start removing the hive until all the bees are dead. Otherwise, they’ll become very aggressive when you tear into their home! Also, if you’re unable to remove the entire hive, any remaining bees may be able to rebuild it.
A:
Plan ahead for the extermination, hive removal, and any home repairs. Wait for late evening or early morning, and (ideally) late winter. Put on protective gear like long sleeves, gloves, and a bee veil. Choose an insecticide that’s intended for killing bees. Spray the insecticide right into the main entry hole of the beehive. Repeat the process daily until there’s no more hive activity.
