When dry-detangling your hair, you can use your fingers, a wide-tooth comb, or a paddle brush. Using fingers can make it easier to find and work through smaller knots. Combing or brushing hair can result in some breakage. Your hair is not very flexible when it is dry, so take care when detangling it this way. A paddle brush is better for long, loose curls. It probably won't work on tightly curled hair. Pin your hair into four sections so that you can tackle each section separately. If your hair is especially thick, it might help to separate your hair into more than four sections. Put a bit of lubricating oil, such as coconut oil, on your fingers. This will reduce any friction that your fingers may experience as they run through your hair. Consider using argan oil to lightly spritz your hair. This will make it easier to comb through your hair with a comb or paddle brush. You can find argan oil at your local beauty supply store. Consider wearing latex gloves to make your hands slip through your hair. You may also consider wearing gloves if you don't want to get the skin of your hands oily. As you start to comb through your hair, find where the thick and thin masses of tangles are. Separate out one tangle at a time. Pull the knotted area away from the rest of your hair if possible. If you can see it in the mirror, try taking a quick look to get a read on the situation. Run your fingers through your hair, working each knotted area one at a time. Start at the end of the chunk of hair. Work your fingers through the bottom of the knot. As your fingers undo some of the knot, work your fingers through more of the knot until you get to the root. As you finish detangling a section of hair, loosely twist it and pin it up. This will break up your work and prevent your detangled sections from re-tangling. Work through the rest of your hair, section by section. Pin up detangled sections as you go until all of your hair is detangled.

Summary: Choose an instrument for detangling. Separate your hair into four sections. Use oil to lubricate your curls and prevent breakage. Find the tangles. Work the knot from the end to the root. Pin each detangled section into a loose twist. Continue detangling the rest of your hair.

"Who's" is the contracted form of "who is" and is suitable for use only where the non-contracted form would also be suitable. Ex. "Who's coming to dinner?" "Whose" means "of whom or of which" and is a possessive pronoun, meaning it must be used to modify another noun. Ex. "Whose car is blocking mine in the driveway?" In question form, "whose" can modify a noun that isn't explicitly mentioned. Ex. "Have you ever heard her music?" "Whose?" "Kelly's."

Summary: Use "who's" as instructed. Use "whose" as instructed.

Do this as a protective measure before you begin scooping ashes out of the stove, as they are liable to drop onto the ground. A newspaper will make cleanup much easier. As you're spreading the newspaper, open the air dampener so that any ash stuck to it will fall into the firebox. The air dampener will be a small knob on the front of the cast iron stove, that you should pull outward to open. If the stove is still warm, use a piece of hooked metal to pull the air dampener open. Open the glass door on the front of the cast iron stove and, using your metal ash shovel, scoop up all of the leftover ash inside of the stove. Place the shovelfuls of ash into a metal ash bucket. Be meticulous when cleaning the ashes out of the stove; you'll be able to start your next fire much more easily if there are no leftover ashes in the firebox. Before you begin scooping up the ashes, make sure that the fire is completely out, and there are no live coals. If there are still any red-hot coals, wait for them to cool and go out before shoveling them up. After you've finished shoveling the ashes out of the firebox, place the lid back on the ash can. Set the can on a non-flammable surface, like brick or tile. It's important to let the ash can sit for at least 48 hours before you dispose of the ashes, in case there are still any live coals in the ash. It's important to keep the can covered, as a slight breeze could lift ash and soot from the can and send it flying through your house. Once you've tossed the ashes, you can also pick up the newspapers that you initially spread on the carpet. Be careful not to spill any ash on the floor. Throw the newspapers away. When the ash bucket is full (after you've shoveled out the fire box several times), you'll need to dispose of the ashes and empty the bucket. If you live in a rural area, you can simply walk a few hundred feet from your house and spread the ashes out on the ground. Alternately, if you have a compost pile or a garden, toss the ashes on top of the soil. If it's windy outside, wait for the wind to die down before you spread the ashes. Dormant embers may re-ignite in a strong wind.

Summary: Place an old newspaper on the ground in front of the stove. Scoop the ashes out of the fire box. Cover the ash can. Dispose of the ashes.

These will bloom as the existing flowers wilt, creating better balance in your bouquet over a longer period of time. Buds that are just breaking open and with a glimpse of color are a good indication the flowers will be suitable for your bouquet.
Summary: Prioritize tight buds.
