Wash the apples first, then peel them. After this, you can core them using an apple corer, and then cut them into quarters. If you don't own an apple corer, you can cut them into quarters first, then cut the core away with a knife. Put the apples into a large pot first, then add the apple cider. Turn the heat up to high, and let the cider come to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low, and let the apples and cider simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the sugar and spices, then turn the heat back up to high. Let the mixture come to a boil. As soon as the cider starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, and let the apples simmer for 30 minutes. For a twist, try 1 cups (300 grams) of brown sugar and cup (115 grams) of white sugar. If you'd like the apple cider to be sweeter, you can add up to 4 cups (900 grams) of sugar. Once the apples are soft, take the pot off the stove, and let the mixture cool down a little. You can then mash the apples using a potato masher, or puree them in a blender or food processor. The longer you cook it, the thicker it will become. You don't want the apple butter to be too thick, however; the mixture should be reduced by about 40 to 50%. The apple butter may splatter. Consider keeping a splatter screen of sorts over the pot to keep your kitchen clean. Wipe the mouths of the jars with a clean towel, then put the lids on. Store the jars in the fridge.

Check your shampoo for sodium laureth/lauryl sulfate or ammonium laureth/lauryl sulfate, especially if your hair is naturally curly. These ingredients dry out the hair terribly, making your hair puffier and bigger. If you can't find any shampoos that don't have these ingredients, look for shampoo bars, which are sulfate-free. Silicone-based ingredients build up on the hair, and only drying sulfates remove them. Any ingredient that ends the suffixes -cone or -xane is a silicone. Some common ones are dimethicone, cyclomethicone, and amodimethicone. However, amodimethicone is a lot easier to remove than some others. Don't go by names alone. Many shampoos and conditioners that are marketed to combat frizz contain sulfates. Opt for moisturizing ingredients. Some good choices include: Aloe vera Grape extract Avocado oil Olive extract Shea butter Basil Hibiscus Always use conditioner after using shampoo. Follow the ingredients on the bottle. Some conditioners are formulated to be left in the hair, while others should be rinsed out after a few minutes. Good moisturizing ingredients include: Macadamia oil Jojoba oil Coconut oil Argan oil Apply a deep-conditioning hair mask once a week. Look for oil-infused masks to fight frizz. This is especially important if you live in a hot and/or humid climate, since heat has significant drying effects on the hair. Look for hydrating ingredients such as: Shea butter Glycerine Proteins Fatty acids Any kind of natural oil, such as coconut oil, lavender oil, or jojoba oil
