Article: Avoid sharing the wash with any other clothes. Don’t use fabric softener. A front-loading washing machine might have more impact than a top loader because the tumbling action is what shrinks the fibers. If you don’t have a front-loader at home, try one at your local laundromat.  Wash your jeans inside out. It causes less wear on the jeans. This method doesn’t work that well for preshrunk jeans or jeans that contain synthetic fibers.  Alternatively, you could soak your jeans in a bucket of hot water. Dunk the jeans into the water. Use a wooden spoon to submerge the jeans completely. Wring them out after the water cools. Dry them on the hottest setting. Make the drying time as long as possible. Read the label first! If it says don't tumble dry, you risk making them too small in the dryer. Air dry them if this is the case. Your jeans should feel at least a little tighter. Make sure you can walk and run in them. Be aware that this method doesn't last. With wear, the jeans will slip back to their original "comfy" shape. With each wash and hot dry, the strength and appearance of your jeans diminishes. Avoid over-using this method. This step is optional but helpful with jeans that are difficult to tighten. Use a pot that’s clean and large enough to fit the jeans. Fill it with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Monitor the pot regularly. Add more water, if necessary. After the water reaches a boil, lower the heat to simmer. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

Problem: Article: Many wedding-oriented fitness plans focus on drastic weight loss through extreme dieting practices, but don’t be fooled into destructive measures that yield purely temporary results. Not only do restrictive crash diets lead to fluctuating weight — making it more likely that you’ll regain any lost weight after your nuptials — but they’ve also been shown to lead to binge-eating and other disordered eating habits. Crash diets have also been shown to damage your heart and lead to dangerous vitamin deficiencies.  And, on top of everything else, you’ll also have less energy, less patience, and more mood swings. Protein-rich, unprocessed foods such as lean steak, chicken breast, fish, eggs, nuts, and beans will help ensure that your complexion will be clear for your wedding photos. They also contain high levels of energy-boosting B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, meaning that you’ll feel more energized and capable during stressful wedding preparations and hectic schedules.  Make sure you allot appropriate portion sizes, as even healthy items such as salmon and lean steak can pack a mean caloric punch. For example, your portions of protein should be roughly the size of your palm. In addition to long-term benefits such as decreased risk of cancer and diabetes, these all-natural superfoods can boost your gastrointestinal health and digestion so that you’re not backed up on the big day. In order to get these benefits, you should consume five portions of fruit and veg at a minimum, with nine to twelve servings being optimal. You can also make your regular "rabbit food" consumption more manageable by stocking a mixture of frozen, canned, and fresh fruit and vegetables in your kitchen.  Just be sure not to fall for any pre-prepared items such as veggies in cheese sauce or fruit cocktails in heavy syrup: these sauces may seem like a negligible garnish, but they’re usually packed with saturated fat, sugar, or chemical additives. Studies have shown that drinking 2.2 liters of water daily can have a significant impact on your appearance.  It has been shown to boost skin, hair, and nail health, while also assisting your digestion and keeping you regular. If you’re on-the-go during the day, take a water bottle with you in order to have water handy all day and cut down on plastic bottle waste. Foods such as sunflower seeds, dark chocolate, and apple cider vinegar have natural diuretic properties, meaning that they flush out excess water in your body and reduce unseemly bloat for your big day.  And, since they’re all-natural, they won’t be too harsh and cause dehydration. If you’re unsure how to include the strong tang of apple cider vinegar in your diet, add a dash into your homemade salad dressing.  Some people even gulp it down in a shot glasses or dilute it in water.  No matter how you ingest this ingredient, rest assured that it will provide the same benefits. It shouldn't shock you to learn that the simple carbs found in foods like white breads, baked goods, crackers, and chips can derail your plans to get in shape. These foods are low in fiber and high in sugar and digest quickly, which means you will quickly feel hungry again after eating. But don't cut out carbs completely, as they are your body's main source of energy. Choose complex carbs, such as quinoa, whole wheat bread, carrots, and bananas. While ‘light’ foods may seem like a good option in the days and weeks winding up to your walk down the aisle, these artificially trimmed-down items should be avoided whenever possible.  Not only do they contain fewer natural nutrients than their whole-fat counterparts, but they’re also less satisfying.  This means that you’ll be hungry soon after eating your low-calorie yogurt or cheese, or that you’ll eat more of it during one sitting. This goes for processed, salty meats as well.  Even if that deli turkey boasts that it contains only sixty calories per slice, it’s chock-full of sodium and harmful chemical additives such as nitrates and nitrites. You might think that skipping breakfast in the morning can help you cut calories and trim down for your wedding day, but in fact the opposite is true.  Skipping this meal can slow your metabolism, whereas eating every day in the morning has been shown to make you more physically active throughout the rest of the day, lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease, and boost brain function.  Not just any breakfast is a healthy one.  Stay away from sugary cereals, large glasses of fruit juice, sweet pastries, and processed meats, as these can slow your metabolism and lead to a sugar crash. Instead, try oatmeal,  fruit with low-fat yogurt, eggs (unless prepared in fat), or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on multigrain toast. To drink, try green tea or black coffee (skip the sugar, milk, and sugary additions).
Summary: Ditch crash diets. Consume plenty of protein. Pack your plate with fruits and veggies. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Minimize water retention with natural diuretics. Watch the simple carbs. Avoid highly processed diet foods. Stop skipping breakfast.

Before beginning, you need to remove all the dirt and oil from your hair. Lather in a clarifying shampoo and rinse it out, and then repeat the process to ensure your hair is thoroughly clean. Then, shampoo your hair with a moisturizing shampoo to hydrate it and keep it from drying out your hair. Using a wash-out conditioner is important because it helps add moisture back to your hair. Lather the conditioner in well, and then rinse until the water runs clear.  Choose a conditioner made specifically for hair pressing. These conditioners have added silk to smooth out your hair.  Steam the conditioner in if you can, meaning you leave the conditioner in for about 20 minutes while applying steam. At home, use the heat coming up from a hot shower to help steam it. If you don't want to stand in the shower, wrap your hair with a towel for 20 minutes, which helps the conditioner set in. A leave-in conditioner adds moisture to your hair, and it also helps protect against heat damage from the flat press. Separate your hair into sections, and spray it in before blow drying each area. Alternatively, use argan oil instead of a leave-in conditioner.
