user: Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sleep with a silk or satin pillowcase. Brush wet, naturally straight hair out and dry it completely before bed. Apply an overnight straightening treatment to coarse or frizzy hair. Try a loose top-bun for an easy morning. Keep your bedroom cool. Reduce oil with dry shampoo on fine, straight hair. Use a volumizer before bed.

Answer: If wrapping your hair in a scarf doesn’t sound appealing, you can gain the benefits of having silk or satin against your hair overnight by buying a pillowcase made from 1 of these materials. The pillowcase will reduce the amount of friction against your hair as you move your head throughout the night.  Look for silk or satin pillowcases online in department stores where bedding items are sold. Even if you do not use a scarf, it’s still recommended you wrap your hair to minimize tangles while you sleep. If your hair is mostly straight or just slightly wavy, try shampooing and conditioning it before bed. Brush your hair with a paddle brush or wide tooth comb to remove tangles, and either allow your hair to air dry or blow it dry using your brush and downward strokes with the blow dryer.  Be sure your hair is completely dry before going to bed, since even a bit of dampness can cause waves or frizz overnight. Use shampoos and conditioners labeled “smoothing” and don’t contain sulfates, which dry out your hair and make it frizzy. If your hair is naturally coarse or frizzy, use a smoothing oil, serum, or cream before you go to bed. Good products to use contain Argan oil or coconut oil. Squeeze a dime-sized amount of product on your fingers and rub it through your hair from the roots to the tips. Comb the product through your hair with a fine-tooth comb to ensure that you get every strand coated. Brush your naturally straight or straightened hair out and up toward the top of your head. Use an elastic hairband to make a loose ponytail, then create a bun by wrapping your hair in a circle around the center of the ponytail. Fasten the bun loosely with a fabric scrunchie.  In the morning, remove the bun and brush out your hair until it’s straight. This technique works best combined with others, such as sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase or using overnight straightening serums. Sweating at night can increase curls and hair frizz. Set your thermostat or air conditioner so that your bedroom remains as cool as you can stand it, or leave windows open on cool evenings. If your hair is naturally straight and fine, it may be prone to oiliness. Instead of washing your hair every night, try using a dry shampoo to control the oil and maintain volume in your hair. Spray the dry shampoo about 6 inches (15 cm) away you’re your roots and allow it to sit on your hair for 1 minute before working it into your roots with your fingers. If you’re using powdered dry shampoo, use 1 or 2 shakes of powder at your roots and begin massaging it into your scalp. Add more to different places on your roots as needed. If your hair is naturally fine and straight, it may benefit from a volumizing tonic. Squeeze a dime-sized amount of tonic on your fingers and run your fingers through your hair when it’s damp. For added volume, secure your hair in a top-knot, loose bun, jumbo rollers, or braids after applying the tonic.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a light, balanced breakfast at least an hour before the test. Plan a study session. Review all your cramming notes or flashcards one more time. Identify a particular piece of information which is most important for the test and which you really need to remember. Get to the exam room early and visit the bathroom.

Answer: Avoid eating only carbohydrates, and instead grab a meal that is high in protein (eggs), omega-3 fatty acids (salmon), fiber (black beans), or fruits and vegetables. Some "super foods" that help increase brain function and longevity include: blueberries, salmon, nuts and seeds, avocados, pomegranate juice, green tea, and dark chocolate. You may consider chomping down on one or two of these as part of your breakfast. Study in the car or on the bus with a friend. Get a few friends together the hour before the exam and quiz each other on key concepts. You want the information to be as fresh as possible in your mind. Be sure not to let the study session devolve into social hour. Right before the test, go through every one of your flashcards or notes, even if you think you have memorized them. You want everything to be fresh in your mind when you take the test.  If you are having some trouble remembering a certain definition or equation, write it down six or seven times in a row.  That should firmly imprint it on your brain. Make sure you do not take an info longer than three to four words/one formula at a time. Stare at your most important piece of information for at least 1-2 minutes. Concentrate well. Rewrite as the exam approaches to maximize memorization. Get to the exam room at least 5 minutes before the test, and make sure to hit the little girls' or boys' room before you settle down into your seat. You don't want to worry about nature's call while you're taking a test. After that, settle down, relax, and be confident. Visualize success.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use coir netting that's 700-900 grams per square meter (GSM). Remove grass, weeds, and debris from the river bank. Add 5 centimetres (2.0 in) of topsoil. Dig a trench 15 cm (5.9 in) deep by 15 cm (5.9 in) wide at the top of the slope. Line the trench with the netting. Drive U-shaped pins 30 cm (12 in) apart into the netting in the trench. Fill the trench with compacted dirt. Roll the rest of the netting down the slope. Hammer at least 4 pins per 1 square metre (11 sq ft). Overlap netting by 10 centimetres (3.9 in) on each side.

Answer:

assistant: Coir netting is made from coconut fibers and is biodegradable. Normal or heavy duty netting should be used when there is a large amount of water flow.  Coir netting can be purchased online or from specialty landscaping and yardwork stores. Depending on the climate conditions in your area, coir netting can last from 24 to 48 months. Use a measuring tape to find the size of the area you need to cover with netting so you how much to buy. Expose the soil on the river bank using a hoe or a sod cutter. Dig 2 inches (5.1 cm) deep to remove the roots. This ensures that the netting lays flat and covers the soil entirely. Cover the river bank with soil so you have a healthy base to plant vegetation. Rake and fertilize the soil so it’s prepared for planting. The soil should not have clumps since the coir netting needs to lay flat.  You can apply grass seed to this topsoil so it grows through the spaces of the netting.  You do not need to fertilize the soil if you don’t plan on planting anything. Use a shovel or a trench digger across the entirety of the area you're placing the netting. The trench serves as an anchor point and prevents water from flowing under the netting. Make sure the netting lays flush with both of the walls and the bottom of the trench. Leave an extra 30 cm (12 in) of netting on the side of the trench furthest from the river bank. This will be folded over and secured later on. Use a rubber mallet to secure the pins. The top of each pin should be flush to the ground. Stagger the pins by 5 centimetres (2.0 in) so they hold the netting taut.  The pin length will depend on the firmness of your soil. If you have loose soil, use pins at least 45 centimetres (18 in) long. If the soil is firm and compact, use pins 30 centimetres (12 in) long. These can easily be found at most hardware stores. Though the netting will degrade over time, the pins will not. Once secured, press dirt back into the trench to compact it. Once it has been filled, take the extra netting left on top and fold it over the dirt. Secure it to the ground with pins every 30 centimetres (12 in) between the first set of pins. Plant grass seeds in the dirt you used to fill the trench before folding the netting. Once you have reached the bottom of the slope, cut the netting with a pair of scissors. Have someone help with the netting since it usually comes in a 5 by 25 m (16 by 82 ft) roll. Stagger the pins 40 to 60 centimetres (1.3 to 2.0 ft) across the netting. Make sure that they are flush with the surface of the soil and the netting is held secure. If you’re putting netting on harsher slopes, use 8 pins per 1 square metre (11 sq ft). This prevents water from flowing underneath and washing away your soil. Stagger the pins so it secures both sides of the overlap.
