Problem: Article: Get everything together that you will need to dye your hair and place newspaper over your bathroom counter and floor to protect it from any dye that might drip down. Put on an old T-shirt, a hairdresser's cape, or a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing. Then, put gloves on your hands to protect them from the dye. Some other items you might want to have out include: Lip balm or petroleum jelly to apply around your hair line. Makeup remover wipes or a damp washcloth to remove any hair color that gets on your skin. A hair color application brush to make it easier to distribute the color. Use a comb to part your hair down the center going from the crown down to the nape of your neck. Then, divide those sections in half by making a part that goes from ear-to-ear across the top of your head. Use hair clips to keep the sections in place as you work. If your hair is thick or long, divide each of the 4 sections in half again. Use your gloved fingers or a color application brush to "paint" the mixture onto each section of your hair going from the roots to the tips. Make sure you saturate each section of your hair with the dye to avoid a patchy appearance. Continue until all of your hair is saturated with the dye. Try using 2 mirrors to make it easier to see the back of your head while you dye your hair. Stand in front of a mounted mirror, such in your bathroom, and use a handheld mirror to look at the back of your head. After applying the dye, you will be able to see the color develop gradually to your desired shade of light brown. Set a timer for the amount of time indicated by the dye instructions to avoid leaving it on for too little or too much time. Check the dye's instructions for maximum set time, which is usually 30 minutes. Dyes stop developing after the max time elapses. Leaving it on past that time will not do anything. Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse the dye out of your hair, Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Do not shampoo your hair after rinsing it out. However, if your dye kit came with a conditioning packet, you may apply the conditioner to your hair, leave it in for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse it out with cool water to help seal the hair cuticle and lock in your color.
Summary: Lay out all of your supplies and cover your work surfaces. Divide your hair into 4 or more sections. Apply the dye mixture to each section your hair. Develop the dye for the amount of time indicated by the instructions. Rinse the dye out and apply conditioner once the time is up.

Problem: Article: Some common symptoms of a concussion include temporary loss of consciousness, confusion, dizziness, and amnesia. Other symptoms include ringing in the ears, headache, nausea, vomiting, slurred speech, a delayed response to questions, behavior changes, and balance impairment. Seek emergency treatment if you lose consciousness after hitting your head. The sooner you get help, the faster your recovery will be. Your doctor will assess the severity of the concussion based on your symptoms. If, after hitting your head, you feel dazed and have not lost consciousness, then you have suffered a mild concussion. If you cannot remember what happened, or remain dazed for more than 20 minutes, then you may have a moderate concussion. If you lose consciousness and do not remember what happened right before the concussion, then you may have suffered a severe concussion. Sleep is the most important thing you can do to help your brain recover after a concussion. It will help your brain repair the damage that has been done to it. To ensure a good night's rest, avoid stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol, as well as rich, fatty foods that can cause indigestion. If you have sustained moderate to severe brain damage due to the concussion, it may be unsafe for you to sleep for more than a few hours at a time. Make sure your doctor approves of your sleep schedule. If you are having trouble falling asleep, contact your doctor. As you become tired throughout the day, don't resist the urge to nap. This is your body's way of telling itself that it needs to rest in order to heal. Try to limit your naps to 20 to 30 minutes. Napping for too long can disrupt your sleep patterns at night. Demanding physical activities may slow your recovery and worsen your symptoms. Avoid activities such as driving, P.E. classes, exercising, sexual activity, and playing sports, especially sports that may lead to another concussion. Also avoid doing heavy housework like cleaning the tub, scrubbing the floors, cooking, and washing the dishes. Ask a friend or family member if they can cook your meals for you during your first few days of recovery. Speak to your doctor about the pros and cons of exercising or returning to sports practice. Because concussions impact the brain's cognitive functions, taxing mental activities can also slow your recovery and worsen your symptoms. Watching TV, surfing the Internet, reading, doing homework, paying the bills, balancing your checkbook, and playing video games are all burdensome activities that you should avoid. To help pass the time, listen to soothing music. Additionally, avoid multitasking. Focus on one activity at a time instead. Avoid these activities until your doctor gives you the go-ahead. Big decisions will place too much stress on your recovering brain. Wait until you are fully recovered before making big personal, professional, or financial decisions. If the decision cannot wait, ask a trusted friend or family member to help you. Because concussions affect short-term memory, keep a pad and pencil with you wherever you go. Write down important information that you will need to recall later. Also write down reminders and things that you need to do for the day or week. Carry a notepad with you until your memory improves.
Summary: Visit your doctor as soon as possible. Assess the severity of the concussion. Sleep for at least 8 hours per night. Take naps throughout the day. Avoid physically demanding activities. Take a break from mental activities. Avoid making big decisions. Take notes to help you keep track of your daily activities.

Problem: Article: When you clean your dry erase erasers with a garden hose, you will end up spraying inky-colored water on the ground. So first, choose a location to do your cleaning, ideally on a patch of grass. Bring your dry erase erasers outside, set them on the ground, and spray them with your hose. If your hose has multiple settings, use the most powerful one. The power from the hose spray will penetrate the cracks of the eraser and remove the ink. Continue until the water runs clear. Place your dry erasers in direct sunlight and let them sit for 1-2 hours. Do not attempt to use the erasers until they are completely dry. In the meantime, put away your garden hose.
Summary: Choose a spot where you can make a mess. Spray the erasers with the hose. Set the erasers in the sun.

Problem: Article: Inspect your fence for splits or small cracks. Apply a waterproof wood glue to these areas and tape it together for 24 hours while the glue dries. After a day, remove the tape and monitor the area for signs of further deterioration. Dig a hole around the base of the fence post approximately 12 feet (0.300.61m) deep, depending on the size of the concrete spur. Place a concrete spur into each hole and attach it with bolts to keep it in place. concrete and fill the rest of the post hole to keep the spur from slipping over time. A concrete spur is a long, thin concrete block used to repair broken or rotting fence posts. You can purchase them online or from most home improvement stores. If any of the wood is rotten, saw that area off and coat it with a wood sealant. If any screws or nails loosen over time, remove and replace them with stainless steel screws. To keep the screws in place, fill the tops of the holes with caulk. For further protection, look for weather-resistant screws online or at home improvement stores. Dip a bristle brush into wood preservative and lightly coat the posts around the base. This will prevent the bases from rotting and causing significant damage to the fence. If you live a humid climate or location with plenty of rainfall, apply wood preservative to all of the fence posts.
Summary:
Use glue to fix minor damage. Reinforce significantly damaged posts with a concrete spur. Check for and tighten loose boards. Apply wood preservative to the base posts.
