Before you start making any major lifestyle changes, you should meet with a therapist. Talk therapy is an effective way to treat ADHD and to deal with the frustration that often accompanies this disorder. With talk therapy, you will work one-on-one with a therapist to develop strategies that can help you deal with your ADHD symptoms. A therapist can help you to determine what you need to work on and guide you through your treatment for ADHD. For example, you and your therapist may find that you struggle the most with time management and organization. Your therapist could then teach you about strategies for improving these skills. Getting regular daily exercise may also help to improve the symptoms of ADHD. Some studies have shown that you can get even more benefits from exercising if you do your exercise outdoors, but keep in mind that this may not work for everyone. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day or at least on most days. Some good options include: riding a bike hiking running swimming skiing dancing or taking an aerobics class Practicing relaxation techniques on a daily basis can also help to reduce symptoms of ADHD. Try to set aside at least 15 minutes for relaxation activities every day. Some good relaxation exercises include: Yoga. Yoga may improve symptoms of ADHD by helping you to rebalance your mind. This can be especially helpful when you are feeling overwhelmed or restless. Meditation. Meditation shows more promising results than other treatment methods, such as dietary changes. Meditation relaxes you and increases your ability to concentrate over time. It can also help to control impulsivity and your ability to plan things. EEG Biofeedback. Although more studies are needed, this relaxation training method has shown some promising results for those with ADHD. During an EEG biofeedback session, you would have sensors attached to your scalp and you would practice controlling your stress levels with the aid of a video that represents your brainwaves. Over time, these sessions can help you identify the best ways to control your stress. Keep in mind that EEG biofeedback has to be conducted in a clinical setting. Not getting enough sleep can make your ADHD symptoms worse. Getting plenty of quality sleep each night may help you to function better the following day by increasing your ability to concentrate and deal with stressful situations. However, keep in mind that this treatment method does not help everyone and it probably will not be enough to treat your ADHD on its own. Make sure that you consider other treatment options as well. Some strategies that may help you get more sleep include: avoiding caffeine in the afternoon and evening sticking to a bedtime routine, such as taking a bath, brushing your hair and teeth, dimming the lights, and then listening to some soft music in bed going to bed at the same time every night (even on the weekend) keeping your bedroom dark and cool

Summary: Talk to a therapist. Exercise every day. Include relaxation techniques in your daily routine. Sleep more.

Now you want to make sure that fade has a distinct ending point at the base of the head and bottoms of the sideburns. Take your trimmer or clippers and shave any remaining hair away. You may not need to do this to the sideburns if the person whose hair you are cutting has facial hair connecting to the sideburns. Shave down the base of the neck and up a little way on the lowest fade to make sure that the hair is evened out. Look for any patches where the hair is uneven now and make sure to go over them again to clean them up. You may have to position your clippers at a bit of an angle to get any stragglers and even out the fade. Now that your bottom fade line is established, cut the hair beneath it. Make sure you get the sections at the bottom of the neck that have thinner longer hairs. Clean up the edges using a straight razor or the trimmer to make sure the edges of the cut are clean, as well as removing any neck hair. If you are using a straight razor, apply shaving cream to the area you are about to cut, then pad with a warm damp towel. Brush off any loose hairs and style the top with a pomade or gel for a finished look.
Summary: Shave the bottom of the hair with a beard trimmer or unguarded clippers. Blur out any remnants of the visible line using your clippers. Clean up the base of the neck.
