It is important to find and use your preferred stance to balance on a skateboard. The two main positions that skateboarders use are called regular and goofy. Try out both positions to see what feels the most natural to you. If your left foot is forward, or you are facing to the right you are in the position called "regular". If your right foot is forward, or you are facing to the left you are in the position called "goofy". Make sure that when you stand on the skateboard, your feet are positioned just behind the bolts. This is the best way to position your feet for good balance. Placing your feet in the middle of the board will not give you as much control and it also makes it easier to break your board. The bolts are what is securing your skateboard’s wheels to the board, so your feet should be just behind the wheels on your board. Before you try to balance while riding your skateboard, start by balancing on your skateboard while it is standing still. The easiest way to keep your skateboard from moving around too much is to place it on some carpet or grass. Then, stand on your skateboard and work on your balance.  You can also try placing an object in front of and behind the wheels on your skateboard to keep it from moving around too much. Try placing a block of wood on either side of your skateboard, or position the board between two cinder blocks. If you still find it difficult to stand on the board even when it is not moving, then you might try holding onto a railing or a wall to steady yourself and work up to standing on the board without holding onto anything.

Developer is often sold with hair dye in a package, so you don't have to worry about choosing the right volume. Getting them together is ideal because the developer will be the right strength for the color on the package. However, keep in mind that the hair color will likely look different on you than it does on the model on the box. Your hair color will most likely turn out a shade or two darker or lighter than the image on the box. If you bought a lone tube of hair dye, get the developer separately. Choose the developer volume you need. Buying developer separately may help you achieve the desired results.\  If you bought boxed dye with the developer included, it is not a good idea to buy separate developer. Use the developer in the box for the best results. You may want to purchase the same brand to of dye and developer to ensure that they will work well together. Running out of developer and hair color when you are halfway into the dyeing process can cause your hair to come out uneven or improperly dyed. Avoid this by getting an extra box of developer and hair color so you have it on hand. A good rule of thumb is to get at least 2 to 3 boxes of hair color and developer for long hair (past your shoulders) and 1 to 2 boxes of hair color and developer for short hair (above your shoulders).
