INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This may seem like a no-brainer, but you will need to wash your hair before blow drying. Use a smoothing shampoo and conditioner if your hair is thick or prone to frizz, or go for volumizing if your hair is thin or flat.  Only apply conditioner to the ends and mid-lengths of your hair. If you apply it to the roots, your hair will look flat and greasy. Use a wide-toothed comb to work out any tangles while the conditioner is in your hair. The conditioner will make it much easier and will minimize hair breakage. A good hairdryer is essential when you are trying to blow dry your hair straight. The more power and heat a hairdryer can provide, the easier and faster you can straighten your hair. If you need to invest in a new hairdryer, there are several things you should consider:  Wattage. The wattage of a hairdryer is an indication of how powerful an air flow it has. The higher the wattage you can get, the better. Most salon hairdryers have a wattage of around 1800, though a wattage of 2000 may be necessary for very thick or curly hair. Speed and Temperature Controls. Having a hairdryer with adjustable speeds and temperatures is a major bonus, as you will use different settings to achieve different styles. For example, a cool setting can be used to finish your hair with a blast of cold air, which helps to set the style while adding shine. Weight. The last thing you want is a heavy hairdryer which is going to tire out your arm when you're just halfway through a blow dry. Look for a hairdryer which weighs less than two pounds. The weight should be indicated on the box. Attachments. If you are using a hairdryer to blow dry your hair straight, you will definitely need a nozzle attachment which concentrates the airflow and prevents hair from frizzing. Check to see if a nozzle attachment is included with your hairdryer or if it needs to be purchased separately. Dividing your hair into sections before you finish blow drying is a good idea, as it will help you to focus on straightening one layer of hair at a time. Split your hair into three layers - one at the crown of your head, one at the middle sections and one at the nape of your neck. Use butterfly clips or hair ties to keep the top two layers out of the way for now. If you have bangs, leave them down and dry them first before you dry the bottom layer. This is because bangs will dry quickly and they will be harder to straighten once dry. The type of hairbrush you use while blow drying your hair will have an impact on how your hair turns out. If you want to add volume while you straighten, or add a slight curl or flick to the ends, use a thick round brush. But if you want poker-straight locks, a paddle-brush is your best option.

SUMMARY: Wash your hair. Use a good hairdryer. Divide your hair into sections. Use the right kind of hairbrush.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sometimes you can find a great book just by going and looking at the other books on the shelf around books you've liked before. Non-fiction books in particular are typically grouped by topic, so it's a good bet that you'll find books on similar themes next to books you've already read on those themes. Even if you've decided on one, it's good to have a backup or two. You might realize as you're looking at the books more closely at home that one of them is not as good a choice for a book report. You also might find that your teacher has advice on which one would be better. Hopefully, between talking to the librarian, your teacher, and possibly going online and then browsing the library, you have found a few possible candidates for your book review. With the books you've found in front of you, read the plot synopsis, found on the back of the book for paperbacks, and on the inside of the front cover on the dust jacket for hardcovers. Take a little time to read the first chapter or so, too, to see if you like the author's writing style.  Which of the books looks best to you? Which book is the easiest to read? Which book do you think would be best for the report, based on the assignment? Even if you think the book is the perfect choice, talk to your teacher. He or she might have read the book and not think it is the right choice for you. If your teacher doesn't like your first choice, share your other options with him or her. Hopefully one of them will work.
Summary: Browse. Check out your books. Read about the books you've found. Ask your teacher.

Dermatologists categorize acne as mild, moderate, and severe. You can treat most mild acne at home with topical remedies and lifestyle changes. If your acne is moderate to severe, you should see a doctor.  Mild facial acne usually has fewer than 20 non-inflamed whiteheads or blackheads or 15–20 mildly inflamed and irritated pimples. Moderate facial acne has between 20–100 whiteheads or blackheads, or 15–50 pimples. Severe facial acne has more than 100 whiteheads or blackheads, more than 50 pimples, or more than five cysts (the most deeply inflamed lesions). If your acne persists for two to four weeks with no signs of improvement after you’ve used the methods in this article, make an appointment to see your doctor. Your doctor can recommend further treatments or refer you to a dermatologist if necessary. For many insurance plans in the US, you must get a referral from your general practitioner to see a specialist like a dermatologist. Contact your insurance provider to determine whether this applies to you. Some people with sensitive skin may experience irritation from home acne treatments. If your skin becomes red, raw, or irritated, stop using your home treatments and see a doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sweet peas must be kept nice and wet throughout the summer. Water them lightly every day it does not rain. Check the soil surrounding the sweet pea stems often to make sure it doesn't dry out. Sweet peas are quite prolific, and a monthly application of mild fertilizer will keep them blooming for many weeks. It's not mandatory, but it's helpful if you want to make the most of your flowers. Use compost, manure or a high-potassium commercial fertilizer application. Cutting the flowers promotes new growth, so don't hesitate to bring in some fresh blossoms or make a bouquet for a friend. Wait until the flowers have reached their fragrant and colorful peaks before cutting. You should also remove faded blossoms, which sap energy from the plant and prevent more flowers from growing. These annuals won't come back on their own next year, but you can enjoy them again if you save the seed pods and plant them again in the winter or spring, depending on where you live. This will encourage new growth in the form of more side-shoots and flowers. You can just use your fingernails to pinch off the shoots.

SUMMARY:
Water them often during the hot months. Fertilize once a month. Harvest the flowers regularly. Save the seed pods from your plants for next year's crop. Pinch off the shoots once your peas are 6 inches or longer.
