One of the factors in keeping your afro looking great, is making sure that that your hair is nice and moist. Fill a squirt bottle with half water and half pure aloe vera juice. Spritz this all over your hair, and use your fingers to massage it in. Aloe vera juice can be purchased at most health food stores, some beauty supply stores, and online. To further moisturize your hair and keep it looking good while you sleep, apply a leave-in conditioner product. Use a spray-in conditioner for convenience. Alternatively, you can use a cream conditioner. Simply work the conditioner around in your hands and then apply it to your hair, starting 0.5 inches (1.3cm) from your scalp. Massage the product down to your tips. If your hair is prone to breakage around the hairline, place several drops of argan oil onto your fingertips and move it around. Apply this oil to your hairline, in the front and back, to moisturize and avoid breakage. Be sure to purchase pure argan oil!

Summary: Spritz your hair with aloe vera juice. Use leave-in conditioner. Apply argan oil around your hairline.

Research other guitar teachers in your area and see how much they charge. Once you find out what the going rate is, make your rates competitive. You could charge the same or slightly less at first. The average price of a guitar lesson is between $20-40 USD for thirty minutes. You'll likely start off teaching thirty-minute lessons until your students advance enough to handle forty-five minutes. Once you increase the length of your lessons, you should raise the price accordingly. As demand for your lessons grows, you can raise your rate. Decide how much money you'd like to make per year from teaching guitar. Divide your annual goal by the rate you're starting off with to find the approximate number of lessons you'll need to give to meet your goal. For example, to make $20,000 a year charging $40 an hour, you need to give 500 lessons in a year, or about 42 lessons a month. If you choose to teach group lessons, take that into account. Group lessons mean more payments for the same amount of time. When a student doesn't show up, you lose both money and time. Charging in advance or requiring a fee for skippingunless they've arranged an absence with you in advancemeans students will be less likely to skip and you'll still get paid for your time either way. The longer you teach a student, the more trust and commitment you build, and the more likely the student is to stay with you. You should focus more energy on retaining your students throughout your career rather than constantly recruiting a revolving door of new students. Develop a healthy, personal relationship with your studentsget to know them and personalize their lessons based on their favorite songs and musicians. At lessons, don't just start in with teaching right away. Take a moment to ask a student how they're doing and how their week was. This conversation shouldn't last more than a minute or two, but showing interest in your student's wellbeing will help them trust you and connect to you.

Summary: Set your lesson prices. Set a goal for your yearly income. Charge for private lessons in advance or require a no-show fee. Retain your students for a long time.

Your eyes will be extra sensitive during an infection, and will require extra care. In the wind, heat, or cold, wear eye protection to prevent irritation. This can be in the form of goggles, eyeglasses, or sunglasses. Remember, however, such items should be washed thoroughly after use and after an infection clears up. If you work with chemicals, wear safety goggles. While this is a good practice in general, it's especially important to keep foreign materials out of the eyes during an infection. During an infection, avoid swimming pools. Bacteria is easy to spread via water and, if you do have contact with a pool for any reason, wear goggles and remove contact lenses before getting in the water. Use the medicine as directed and for as long as instructed, even if symptoms clear up. If you're applying drops, keep the bottle tip clean and do not let it have contact with the eye or eyelids. During a pink eye infection, you should not wear contact lenses. Wear glasses until symptoms have passed, and make sure to wash your contacts before putting them back in. Change your contact solution as well, as this is also likely infected. If you wear disposable contacts, it's best to err on the side of caution and put in a new pair.

Summary: Protect your eyes. Avoid swimming pools. Use any antibiotics, ointments, or eye drops prescribed by a doctor. Wear glasses only.

When you have a crush, it can feel world-ending if it's not reciprocated. If you feel like you can't tell if he likes you, he probably doesn't. If he says he'll call, and then doesn't for a long time, there is a good chance he's not interested. If he really likes you back, things should feel easy. Sometimes when we have a crush, all we want to do is obsess about them. But part of what makes you crush-worthy is living the life you're living, not obsessing about something that might never happen. Obsessing will certainly not make it happen. If you normally go out with friends or do yoga or anything else regularly, keep doing it. Thinking in endless cycles the same thoughts over and over about a guy who may or may not call you won't in the end make him call you. If you find yourself in this thought cycle, gently bring yourself back to the present moment. Focus on your breath and how you feel. Avoiding rumination can help the crush not seem so painful, because rumination tends to reinforce the negative feelings you are already feeling. You will feel a lot about a crush, and judging your feelings (feeling guilty about obsessing, or feeling ashamed that you still like them after they haven't called you) won't help. It's easy to get stuck in our heads with our feelings and it can feel insurmountable. Remind yourself that you are awesome with or without this crush in your life. Tell yourself that your feelings are valid, but also that they might not be representative of reality.
Summary: Don't force it. Do your normal daily activities. Don't ruminate. Don't judge yourself.
