If you're having difficulty getting those knots out, then try using a children's hair detangler. While you are doing this, use mousse in your hair and make sure you get the mousse to the root and to the tips of your hair. While doing this, scrunch your hair (bring the tips up to the roots) to get your hair to curl just a little bit before moving on to the next step. It is obvious that you will need a hairbrush to get some of the knots out, but avoid using the brush when it is possible, because it makes the hair lose its natural curliness (if it has any to begin with). Make sure that your split your hair into small sections, each section will form one curl.  Release the hair. Do this from top to bottom. Use hair-spray that holds your hair in place.

One-sentence summary -- Wash hair with normal shampoo and normal conditioner. After you have washed and conditioned your hair, make sure you comb (not brush) it through with a wide toothed comb to get out any knot. Before you start using the blow dryer, towel dry your hair as much as you can. When blow drying your hair, use your fingers to comb through you hair as much as possible. Once your hair is dry, separate your hair into different sections to prepare for the curling iron. Before curling, take some hair-spray (of your choice) and spray it all over. When you are ready to use the curling iron, wrap your hair around the barrel of the curling iron and hold it in place for no longer than ten seconds. Spray it with hair-spray. Finished.

Q: If your cankles are caused by obesity, then shedding some weight should also help to slim your ankles eventually, as well as improving your overall health status (such as a reduced risk of heart attack and stroke). Depending on your level of obesity, you may want to start with exercises that don't put too much pressure on your ankles and other leg joints, such as swimming or cycling. Once you bring your weight down to safer levels, add weight-bearing exercises such as walking or bouncing on a mini trampoline, which will also promote better blood circulation within your feet and legs.  Exercise regimens for obese people should be supervised by a healthcare professional. Fat loss usually occurs from the face and abdomen initially, so be patient for the fat to be burned off from around your ankles. Consider doing some leg exercises that increase the definition of your calves (such as stair climbing) without making the muscles bigger. The enhanced muscle definition may make your ankles appear slimmer. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, focus on reducing the number of calories you consume on a daily basis. Most people who are relatively sedentary only require about 2,000 calories per day to maintain their body processes and have enough energy for mild levels of exercise. Reducing your calorie intake by 500 calories daily will result in about 4 pounds of fat tissue loss per month.  Salads made with leafy greens and fresh vegetables are excellent choices for weight loss because they are low-calorie, high in nutrients and relatively bulky (high in fiber), so they fill up your stomach. Just remember to go easy on the salad dressing. Drinking lots of water is great for weight loss because it's calorie free and helps to curb your appetite. If you're having trouble losing the fat deposits around your ankle, then schedule a consultation with a vascular or cosmetic surgeon in order to discuss fat removal via liposuction. Being invasive, surgery should be your last option to combat your cankles, not your first choice because of the potential convenience. In addition to liposuction, the surgeon may be able to shave or remodel the bones and muscles of the lower calf and ankle. Make sure you understand all the risks of undergoing surgery, such as allergic reactions to anesthesia, infections and heavy blood loss.
A: Lose weight by exercising. Lose weight by decreasing your caloric consumption. Consider liposuction.

Article: One way to keep your reactions under control is to steer clear of situations and people who provoke strong reactions from you. You may not be able to avoid certain people and situations, but you can find ways to limit your exposure or make these experiences more pleasant.  For example, if you tend to react in an overdramatic way if you are running late for work, then try to leave 10 minutes earlier than you usually do. Or, if you have a friend who makes you crazy, then try to limit your contact with him or her. If you bump into the friend, then you can just say something like, “Hi! I wish I could stay and chat, but I am in a hurry. Have a good day!” Before you do or say anything, you might find it helpful to take a moment to yourself and process your emotions a bit. For example, you could go into another room and do some deep breathing to calm yourself down, listen to a soothing song, or just examine how you are feeling. To excuse yourself, try saying something like, “I have to run to the bathroom. Just give me a few minutes and we can keep talking.” If you receive some disappointing news, you may have some string negative emotions coming up. If you want to make sure that you do not overreact to the situation, then you may need to allow yourself to feel these feelings and think about what they mean. For example, if you have just learned that you are failing a class, then you might notice a knot in your stomach or trembling hands. Take a moment to consider why you are feeling this way. For example, you might be fearful about what your parents might say or disappointed in yourself. One reason that some people overreact to certain situations is because they have negative thoughts that go unchallenged. For example, if you learned that you are failing a class, then you might think to yourself, “I am a failure!” However, this thought is not an accurate reflection of the situation. It is a dramatic reaction. When you notice yourself overdramatizing a situation like this, take a moment to identify and challenge the thought. For example, you might reframe the thought “I am a failure!” to something like, “I thought I was passing the class, but I am not. However, I am still doing well in my other classes, so this is just a temporary setback.” After you have challenged any negative thoughts, you can begin to look for solutions to your problem. For example, instead of punching a locker or sobbing openly in the hallway, you might decide to schedule an appointment with your teacher to ask if there is anything you can do to bring up your grade. Even if the action you take does not lead to a positive outcome, keep looking for solutions! For example, if your teacher says that there is nothing you can do, then start making plans to improve your grades for the following semester or school year. To ensure that your reactions are appropriate, it is also important to reflect on how you handled the situation. You can ask yourself some questions to determine whether you handled the situation well. If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you may still need to work on some things:  Is there anything that you regret about your response or that you wish you could change? Did you lash out at anyone who was trying to comfort you or help you? Do you feel the need to apologize for anything you said or did? Did you feel like you were out of control at any point? Did you make any unfair assumptions about anyone? Did you feel the need to withdraw from others to deal with the situation?
