Problem: Article: During this time, the dye will still be oxidizing and settling into your hair. Washing too soon can sometimes lift the color right off the hair, which you definitely want to avoid!  This may mean skipping a workout or two in order to avoid the need to wash your hair. You can also wear a shower cap to keep your hair dry in the shower. Since washing can cause color fading, only wash every other day at most. You may even want to give your hair 3-4 days between washes, since it will likely be more dry after dyeing. If your strands get greasy between washes, try using a dry shampoo. These gentle, specially formulated products will help your color last longer and keep your hair healthy. Look for ingredients that will  moisturize and help remove product buildup without stripping color, such as keratin, natural plant oils, and minerals. Since your hair will be more vulnerable to damage after the chemical treatment, you’ll want to use as little heat on it as possible. This includes styling tools such as curling irons, straightening irons, and blow dryers.  If you have to use hot tools, make sure to spray on a heat protectant product first and use either the lowest heat or cool blast setting. You should especially avoid using hot styling tools in conjunction with heavy styling products, such as gels, volumizers, hairsprays, and mousses. If your locks are still feeling brittle or dry, use a deep conditioning treatment or mask once a week. Work the product through your hair, concentrating on the tips, then run a wide-tooth comb through the strands to make sure it’s evenly distributed. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes (or as long as the product directs), then rinse well.  Look for a moisturizing mask that’s specifically formulated for colored hair. This is especially important if your hairstyling requires heat tools.
Summary: Avoid washing your hair for the first 48 hours after dyeing your hair. Wash your hair every other day or less. Use color-protecting shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair. Avoid using hot styling tools while your hair is still fragile. Deep-condition your hair once a week to keep it moisturized.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your friends insist on an explanation as to why you’re leaving the group, be honest no matter what your reasons are.  Do not, for instance, tell your friends that you are moving out of state just to avoid them or leave the group.  Instead, be open and honest about why you want or need to leave the group of friends. If it’s easier for you to express yourself in writing, there’s nothing wrong with sending an email or letter to a group of friends (or the ringleader of a group of friends) explaining your grievances. Sometimes the truth hurts.  Try to find a way to be honest and respectful at the same time.  For instance, if you’re leaving a group of friends because they no longer share your interests or if you find that they are very boring, try a diplomatic approach by explaining to them that, “I just have a hard time relating to you.”  Don’t rub the fact that you’re leaving the group in their faces.  Emphasize your own feelings and point of view, and avoid accusatory “you” statements like, “You are very boring.” Lies will only lead to more lies.  It’s best to be honest about your reasons for leaving a group. Sometimes vague answers work best, since they can be both honest and respectful.  For instance, “I’m busy,” or “I’ve been traveling,” may work as explanations for friends who want to know why you aren’t spending as much time with them. Friends — especially friends of long standing — will often try to pull you back into the group.  Be firm in your decision to leave the group.  Don’t give in to group pressure or bullying.  For instance, if someone tries to get you to remain in the group of friends, say, “I’m sorry, I am very busy.” Or “We've had some great times but I need some time apart from the group right now.” Be calm and graceful when declining invitations to hang out with the group of friends you wish to leave (or have already left).

SUMMARY: Be honest. Be respectful of your friends’ feelings. Stand your ground.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is seen in 60% to 70% of the patients in the chronic phase. These patients do not have heart, gastrointestinal (esophagus or colon), and neurological (brain or nerves) symptoms of Chagas disease. Nevertheless, around  2% to 5% of these patients later have heart, esophagus and/or large intestinal or colonic symptoms. This form occurs eight weeks to ten weeks after the start of infection and is asymptomatic phase, which means it is without symptoms or signs of illness. Heart issues caused by chagas are referred to as Chagas Cardiac disease. If left untreated, the parasites gradually damage the heart. Heart muscles are destroyed with fibrous tissue formation. Heart chambers are dilated and muscles cannot contract rhythmically and efficiently, which may lead to heart failure.  If you feel irregular heart beat or missed beat, it may be an early sign of heart malfunction. If heart failure develops, there will be accumulation of fluid in the lungs. You will experience breathlessness, fatigue and nocturnal cough with frothy sputum. Long standing infection may damage nerves in your digestive tract. The esophagus (gullet) and colon are most commonly affected. They become dilated as there is loss of peristalsis, or the contraction of the intestine to propel food bolus from the mouth to the anus. You will either have issues with your esophagus or your colon. Megaesophagus is defined as the dilatation or enlargement of the esophagus. Symptoms of megaesophagus are difficulty in and painful swallowing to solid  and/or liquid foods, difficulty of breathing, regurgitation, weight loss, and food aspiration. Due to this condition, previously-eaten food may go back towards the mouth and may pass through the windpipe and cause cough and pneumonia. Megacolon is defined as the dilatation or enlargement of the large intestine or the colon. Megacolon presents as constipation, impacted feces, or twisting of the large intestine. Symptoms of colonic infarction would be pain on the whole abdomen, passage of watery to loose stools (diarrhea), fever, and vomiting. Both colonic infarction and obstruction are emergencies requiring surgery.
Summary:
Understand the indeterminate phase. Watch out for heart problems. Monitor digestive problems. Look for signs of megaesophagus. Go to the hospital if you see signs of megacolon.
