INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's tempting to use cliches or overused expressions in an introduction, especially if you don't really know what to say. However, you'll start out your essay by boring your reader, which is not a great place to begin. Skip phrases or cliches like "A penny saved is a penny earned," or "The early bird catches the worm." The exception is if you can explain how the phrase connects to your topic in a unique way or in a way in which the reader would not expect. Similarly, skip formulaic introductions, such as "This essay is about...., and here is my thesis:..." A very informal introduction is generally not appropriate for an academic essay, particularly a scientific one. On the other hand, a stiff, formal introduction usually doesn't work well in a blog post. As you write your introduction, think about whether it's an appropriate style. It's perfectly normal to write your introduction before the rest of your text. However, your argument may change over the course of writing. Therefore, you should give your introduction a read-through to make sure it still introduces the text well. Additionally, when your rephrase your thesis in your conclusion, you can check to see if your introduction is still relevant to the text. Check the points you mentioned in your introduction that you planned on bringing up in your paper. Did you hit them all? Sometimes, when you're beginning your text, you may not know exactly all the points you want to make. Plus, if you're like many people, you may find the introduction the hardest part to write. If that's the case, coming back to it later can get you going on the text.

SUMMARY: Use original phrasing to make your introduction more interesting. Ensure your introduction is appropriate for the style of text. Revisit your introduction after you've finished the text to see if it fits. Write your introduction after the body to make it easier to compose.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can use store-bought masks or make your own using natural ingredients, such as coconut oil or shea butter. Apply the mask to damp hair, then tuck your hair under a shower cap. Wait for the time recommended on the label or recipe, then rinse the mask out. Look for masks made for bleached or color-treated hair. Nourishing, deep-conditioning, or reparative masks are also a great option. Most hair masks do not contain sulfates, but double-check the ingredient label. You can do this with store-bought masks and homemade masks, including coconut oil. Heat the mask in a small dish in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds, then use it accordingly. Alternatively, you can stick a bottle of conditioner in a large cup of hot water for a few minutes. Apply the hot mask or oil to your hair. Tuck your hair under a shower cap, then wrap the cap with a warm towel. Wait 15-20 minutes before rinsing the treatment out. Alternatively, you could apply a room-temperature mask to your hair, put on a shower cap, then sit under a hooded dryer for 15-20 minutes for a deeper conditioning treatment. Naturally curly or African-American hair is delicate and prone to damage, so it requires a little extra care. When you dye your hair, you shouldn't give up those other conditioning treatments and moisturizing creams. Keep using them as you normally would, but make sure that they do not contain any sulfates. Wear your hair in protective styles as much as possible, such as cornrows or braids. Cover your hair with a hood, hat, or scarf whenever you step outside, especially if it is bright and sunny outside. If you don't like covering your head, apply a UV protection spray to your hair before stepping outside. If you don't want to wear a swim cap, rinse your hair with plain water first, then apply some conditioner. It would be even better if you wait 20 minutes before stepping into the pool, so your hair can absorb the conditioner. Once you are done swimming, rinse your hair immediately. Plan on trimming hair every couple of weeks. How often you do this depends on how fast your hair grows and how healthy it is. If your hair starts to look ragged at the ends, it's time for another trim. The more you bleach or dye your hair, the more porous it will become, meaning it won't hold onto dye very well. If you notice that your hair color is fading or that your hair is starting to look fried, it's time to take a break. Let your hair grow out to its natural color. If your roots are beginning to show, try a root touch-up kit instead of re-dyeing your hair. Another option is to use a gloss every so often. It is not as damaging as hair dye and will revitalize your hair color. Vitamin C is found in things like citrus, and helps keep your scalp healthy. Biotin is found in carrots, eggs (yolks), and salmon. It helps make your hair strong and glossy. If you cannot eat the foods that contain these 2 vitamins, then supplements are always an option.

SUMMARY:
Use hair masks once per week instead of conditioner. Make your hair masks more effective by heating them first. Continue to use your usual products if you have natural hair. Protect your hair against the elements. Cover your hair with a swim cap before getting into a pool. Trim your hair regularly to keep it healthy. Take breaks from bleaching or dyeing your hair. Consume vitamins that are essential to hair health.
