Q: Moisturizing conditioner is ideal for most African hair, especially if the hair is dry and brittle, and breaks easily when brushed. (If the hair stretches before breaking, read the instructions for protein conditioning, below.) The "moisturizing" label on the front is a good start, but it's best to look at the ingredients list and instructions:  Ingredients that contain protein should be avoided in a moisturizing conditioner. This includes amino acids, casein, cholesterol, collagen, keratin, oat flour, and panthenol. If the directions say to leave on for 2-5 minutes and rinse, this is not a deep conditioner. Look for a product intended to be left on for at least 15–20 minutes. A leave-in conditioner will keep your hair in good shape between washing sessions. Buy one in addition to the other treatment(s) you selected. A moisturizing leave-in conditioner is usually the best choice for African hair. Now that you've selected your product, decide which type of treatment to use. One option is a steam treatment, which lifts and opens the cuticles on the hair strand, allowing your hair to absorb more conditioner. This is ideal for dry, brittle hair, but more than two steam treatments a month may cause hygral fatigue. Here's a step by step explanation:  Wash you hair and gently squeeze it until damp, but not soaking wet. Rub in deep conditioner. Focus on the ends, which are the weakest point, but condition all the way to the roots as well. Do not apply on the scalp. Sit under the hair steamer for one complete cycle. If you don't own one, wrap hair in a hot, wet towel and cover with a plastic bag or shower cap for 15-20 minutes. Rinse out conditioner with cold water. This closes the cuticle layer again, laying them flat to seal conditioner in and let strands glide past each other with minimal tangling. This also gives the hair a nice sheen. Apply a moisturizing leave-in conditioner, then style. Many people find this method uncomfortable, but it's a good choice if you have dry, coarse, brittle hair. Also, this method can be used more often than the steam treatment without causing damage. Apply as follows, starting in the late evening:  Wash hair and squeeze until damp. Apply moisturizing conditioner. Never use a conditioner that contains protein, as this can harden the hair and break it if left in longer than instructed on the label. Cover with the thermal cap. If you don't have a thermal heat cap, use a plastic cap covered in a beanie or bandana. Sleep with the cap on. Cold rinse in the morning and apply a moisturizing conditioner before styling.
A: Choose a moisturizing conditioner. Purchase a leave-in conditioner. Consider a steam treatment. Trap heat overnight instead.

Q: Use the outlet closest to your work area so you can work comfortably. If your glue gun has a separate power switch, make sure it’s set to the “On” position. Give the glue gun a couple minutes to heat up before loading it. Be careful when working with an active glue gun—only grip the handle and body of the gun, never the tip. Once inside, the heating elements will begin to melt the glue. This may take several minutes.  Choose high temperature glue sticks. These provide the strongest bond for plastics, and you won’t have to worry about the glue melting in warm weather or hot working conditions.  To check to see if you’re ready to begin gluing, squeeze the trigger lightly and look for melted glue strings to emerge. Wipe off the tip of your glue gun with a thick rag before you start working with your wood. This keeps contaminants off your project and controls glue strings as you work. Press the trigger on the gun to release the glue. Concentrate the glue on the broadest, flattest areas of the objects you’re joining. Use the gun’s tapered tip to direct the glue more precisely, and don’t use more than you have to. Hot glue can burn if it come into contact with your skin. Work next to the sink or keep a cup of cold water nearby in case you happen to get any on you by accident. Move the smaller piece into position over the larger one, making sure they’re properly spaced and aligned. Hold the pieces together firmly for 30 seconds to a minute while the glue begins to set.  Test fit the pieces beforehand so you don’t make a mistake. When working with hot glue, you’ll need to work quickly to get your pieces together before the adhesive begins to dry. Hot glue dries fast, but it can take a while to fully set. For best results, leave your pieces to sit for at least 8-10 hours. By the time you check back in the morning, the glue should be for maximum hold.  A quick blast with a hair dryer can cause stray glue strings to vanish.  Should you need to separate the glued surfaces for any reason, a hair dryer on a high heat setting can also be used to melt the dried glue.
A:
Plug in and turn on the glue gun. Load a glue stick into the backside of the gun. Apply the glue to one or both surfaces. Fit the objects together. Let the glue dry overnight.
