Problem: Article: Take a pair of scissors and gently cut into the plastic sheath about 1 inch (25mm) from the end of the cable. Make sure you don't cut into the wires inside. When the scissors penetrate the sheath, rotate the cable and scissors to create a cut around the cable. Then, stick your fingertips under the sheath and pull it off towards the end. Don't cut too deep when you make your initial incision. Use your fingers to untwist and straighten the exposed wires after you remove the sheath. If there is a plastic core or wire separator, cut it away with your scissors. Arrange the wires from left to right so the order is orange/white, orange, green/white, blue, blue/white, green, brown/white, brown. They need to be arranged in a specific order to be properly crimped to the RJ-45 connector. Some of the wires have 2 colors on them, like the orange and white wire. Bring the wires together and hold them with your thumb and index finger. Then, use your scissors to cut them. Make sure they're cut evenly. The wires need to be even in order to fit into the grooves in the connector. If you cut the wires unevenly, move further down and cut them again so their ends are in a straight line. Hold the connector so the metal pins or brackets are facing up and the clip is facing down. Hold the small wires together in the right order and slide them into the connector. They should fit into the grooves of the connector, with the end of the sheath of the cable fitting just past the base of the connector. Locate the small metal pins at the ends of the grooves of the connector. Use a thin, flathead screwdriver to push each of the pins down. Push the pins 1 by 1 so they're pressed all the way into each wire. Be careful not to crack or break the plastic connector. Double check that all of the pins are pressed into the wire, and give a light tug on the connector to make sure it won't slide off. Each of the pins should be inserted at the same level to form an even line. Lightly shake the cable and listen for any rattling that could indicate that one of the pins isn't secure.
Summary: Cut into the outer sheath of the cable with a pair of scissors. Separate and straighten out the small wires in the cable. Put the wires in the right order. Trim the wires 12 inch (13mm) away from the sheath. Fit the wires into the grooves of the RJ-45 connector. Press the pins down with a flathead screwdriver. Tug on the end of the connector to make sure it's secure.

Problem: Article: Bleach is caustic and it can cause irritation to your eyes, skin, and lungs. It can also discolor your clothes, carpet, furniture, and other surfaces. Make sure that you put on goggles, gloves, and some old clothes before you begin. Also, make sure to put down some old newspaper or paper towels to protect your floors and other surfaces. If you work outside, then you will not have to worry about getting bleach on the ground. Inhaling bleach fumes can irritate your lungs and may even give you a headache. Open a couple of windows and turn on a fan for ventilation if you will be working indoors. You may even consider working outside since it is well ventilated. It is important to use a colored t-shirt for this project because bleaching a while t-shirt will only make it look whiter. The darker the color of your shirt is, the more dramatic your results will be. Stick with bold and dark colors, such as black, blue, red, purple, orange, green, etc. Steer clear of lighter shades and pastels, such as lavender, powder blue, light pink, cream, and light grey.
Summary: Put on your protective gear. Work in a well ventilated area. Choose a dark or bold color shirt.

Problem: Article: Your hair may feel a little greasy beforehand, but try to tough it out. The natural oils present in unwashed hair will help to protect your scalp and roots from the hair dye, especially when you get to the red layer. The hair dye will also penetrate your hair better and the results will be more vibrant if your hair isn't squeaky clean when you color it. If you must wash your hair before you dye it, use shampoo only and skip the conditioner. Hair dye has a hard time attaching itself to recently conditioned hair. Skip the grocery store aisle and pick up your dyes at a beauty supply store. These dyes are usually salon-grade products and will produce better results. Opt for liquid formulas over mousse formulas for this liquid black dye will result in a darker and more opaque black than a mousse formula. If you've never dyed your hair before, use a semi-permanent black dye the first time. If you're more experienced, feel free to use permanent color. If you are a natural blonde, you may want to dye your hair dark brown first, then black. Sometimes black dye on naturally blonde hair can result in a greenish tinge. How much black and how much red you want is a completely personal choice there is no "right" way to create this look. As a general rule of thumb, you can start by putting your hair in a half-ponytail. Scoop it all up, starting at your ears, and hold it back in the same place you'd put a ponytail. For a slightly more subtle result, pick up a little more hair after you have it in a half-ponytail. For example, you can part your hair at the nape of your neck. That way, you'll have much more hair to dye black than you do red. Make sure to evaluate the different thickness options before you begin dyeing. It's best not to make any impulse decisions when you're in the middle of the process. Use a hand mirror or have a friend help you so that everything looks even after you separate the top layer from the bottom. Clip your hair firmly into place to avoiding having to deal with wispy pieces falling down while you're coloring it. Make sure that you clip back all of the face-framing pieces of your hair. These pieces need to be dyed black so that the red layer will appear to be "underneath" the black layer. Line a sheet of foil up directly beneath the top layer of your hair. It should hang down over the bottom layer. Make sure the foil extends down at least half the length of your hair. Curl the edges of the foil over the sides of your hair. Clip the foil in place on each side, so the foil will stay in place. The foil should be right beneath the top layer, protecting the uppermost part of the bottom layer. If you feel confident that you can apply the black dye without getting it on the bottom layer of your hair, you can skip the foil.
Summary:
Avoid washing your hair 24 to 48 hours before dyeing it. Use a high quality semi-permanent or permanent black dye. Decide how thick you want the black top layer to be. Separate the top layer from the bottom with clips. Use tin foil to protect the bottom layer of your hair from black dye.
