Follow the instructions on your highlighting kit to get your dye ready to go. Put an old towel around your shoulders to soak up excess dye and wear an old shirt in case of spills. You should also slip on disposable plastic gloves to prevent stains on your hands. You'll want to start with dry, clean hair for the best dye application. Unlike other hair-dying processes, balayage may not require bleaching. The dye formula included in your kit comes with all the ingredients you'll need to lighten your hair without a separate bleaching step, in some cases. If you want a dramatic color change from dark to light, then you may still need to bleach your hair. Choose a small piece from the bottom layer of your hair and apply just a dab of dye to it. Let it process for the instructed amount of time, then rinse out the dye and check the color. This allows you to check the dye color and make sure that your hair doesn't have any negative reactions to it. Draw the tail end of a comb from ear-to-ear in a halo-like line to separate your hair into top, middle, and bottom sections. Slip hair ties around the top and middle sections and move them to the sides, or pull them into small buns so you can work on the bottom section first. Starting on one side of your hair, separate out one thin piece of hair. The exact width of your highlights depends on your preference, but balayage tends to look best with thinner, more subtle highlights, no more than 1 inch (2.5cm) wide. Hold the strand with hand and dip your fingers or dye brush into the dye. Then, gently paint the dye onto the strip of hair with your other hand, applying it more heavily at the bottom and tapering off as you reach the mid-lengths. If you want a natural look, painting the dye onto your hair is the best way to achieve it. However, you should not make horizontal or broad strokes. Try to blend it as well as you can. This tapering method will give your hair the natural, fading effect that balayage is known for. You can dye your hair as close to the roots as you want, but most balayage styles tend to fade out about midway up the strand. Pick a strand on the other side of your head and repeat the application process, going back and forth and from front to back. For the most natural, sun-kissed look, only highlight strands that are about 1 inch (2.5cm) apart, or as far apart as you want your highlights. Once you complete the bottom layer, you can gently section it off with a hair tie, though this is optional. You can also cover your hair with a piece of foil before proceeding. Then, repeat the process with the middle and top sections of your hair. The hair in the bottom layer tends to be darker and more difficult to lighten, so it's best to add highlights there first and give them the longest time to process. Once you've added your highlights, check your dye box to see how long you should wait to let the color processit's typically around 20-30 minutes. Then, rinse out the dye with the shampoo included in the package and follow it with a thick layer of the toning mask, if one is included. Leave the toning mask in as long as instructed, then rinse it out in the shower. Remember that the longer you let the dye process, the lighter your highlights will be.

summary: Prep the dye and put a towel around your shoulders for spills. Test one strip of hair before you start applying. Separate your hair into 3 sections. Separate a thin, wispy strip of hair in the bottom section. Apply the dye with your fingers or the brush from the dye kit. Continue applying the dye, alternating from side to side. Let the color process, then rinse it out with the included shampoo.

After you remove the pan from the packaging, do a thorough wash to remove all the dust and particles. Products may also come in contact with bacteria and chemicals during manufacturing and shipping, so it's important to clean your pan to make sure it is safe for cooking. Use paper towels or a clean dish towel to thoroughly dry the pan after washing and rinsing it. Extreme temperature changeslike putting a hot pan directly into cold watercan damage the nonstick coating and may even shatter the pan. While it may be tempting to quickly wash your dishes after cooking, it's best to wait until your ceramic pan is cool before doing so.

summary: Wash ceramic pans in warm, soapy water before the first use. Allow ceramic pans to cool completely before washing them.

In order to make the dusting process easier and more effective, remove all of the clutter from around your house. For instance, clear off anything that's gathered on your tables or countertops, and put away loose items that have collected on the floors, sofas, and chairs. To make the job more manageable, work on one room at a time. Also, once you've finished dusting a room, don't move any items back into that room until they've been dusted, as well. Before you start dusting, take any linens, pillows, rugs, or cushions outside and shake them thoroughly. This will knock loose a lot of the dust that's trapped on the soft surfaces, so you won't have as much to deal with inside. Try hitting your pillows and cushions against each other firmly to dislodge dust that might be embedded deep down. If it's been a long time since you dusted, it may still be a good idea to wash or vacuum these fabrics before you return them to the room. Before you get started dusting, put a new filter in your main air conditioning vent to trap any new dust that ends up in the air. Also, clean out or replace the filter in your vacuum cleaner, if you have one. That way, your vacuum will be able to trap more of the dust you're trying to clean. Even if you're careful to trap as much dust as possible, you'll still probably send a lot of tiny particles into the air while you're dusting, which is why changing your AC filter is important.
summary: Clear any clutter out of the room. Take any fabrics in the room outside and shake them off. Change your vacuum and AC filters to catch airborne dust.
