Because iPhones have full keyboards, you can't simply turn on T9 messaging. You can find the Type Nine app in the iPhone app store, and it will give you a traditional, old school keyboard for $1.99. The Type Nine app has larger keys than the full iPhone keyboard, so it can be good for someone who struggles to hit the correct keys. Additionally, T9 word can be much easier to do one-handed, where full iPhone keyboards work best with two hands. People who prefer one-handed texting will love the Type Nine app. If you need something like a period, a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation mark, you can repeatedly press 1 to cycle through these symbols and find the one you need. If you need a punctuation mark that is less common, you may need to press and hold the pound symbol (#) to get a full list to choose from. If you want to enter the number 5, you would have to press the 5 key four times to get there, cycling through J, K, and L first. Instead, you can simply hold down the 5 key, which is the quickest way to get the number you need.

Summary: Download the Type Nine app if you want to use T9 on an iPhone. Press 1 to enter commonly-used punctuation. Hold down a key to enter a number.

Before you begin dry-brushing, you should get on a tiled surface. Most people prefer dry brushing in their showers. Dead skin flakes will fall away from your body during the process and you want a surface that can easily be cleaned or rinsed after the process. Use your long-handled brush for this portion of dry brushing. Dry brushing begins with the bottom of your body and moves upward. By starting on the bottom of your body and moving upward, it is thought that you increase drainage to the lymph nodes and increase circulation to the heart. This may help remove unwanted toxins from the body and improve blood flow. Use long, smooth brush strokes. Work backwards, each stroke moving towards the heart. If balance is an issue, prop your leg up on a foot stool or on the side of the bathtub. Pay extra attention to rougher areas, like your ankles and the soles of your feet. Brush these areas several times to ensure any dead skin falls away. Continue to work with your long handled brush. After you've worked your way up your legs, move on to your arms. Remember the process: You're moving towards your heart with each stroke. Start with your hands and move towards the shoulders. Once again, use long and smooth brush strokes. Give rough areas, like the elbows, extra attention. Make sure dead skin falls away. Move on to the back. This can be difficult, as some areas of the back are hard to access. Make sure your brush handle reaches far enough to touch your mid-back and other hard-to-reach areas. Move from the buttocks up to the shoulder blades. Finally, move on to the torso and sides. Brush up your rib cage, moving towards the heart. On your sides, move from your hip to your armpit. Set aside the long-handled brush and get your softer bristled brush. Move on to more sensitive areas of the skin. Dry brush your face, using somewhat smaller and gentler strokes. Move from the forehead to neck. Nipples or breasts should also be dry brushed with a softer brush to avoid irritating more sensitive skin. If you want to go over your whole body again, it might be better to use the softer brush this time around to avoid undue irritation.

Summary: Stand on a tiled surface. Start with the feet and move up the legs. Move to your arms and then to your torso. Dry brush sensitive areas.

Purchase a .080 inch (2.0 mm) diameter round monofilament line from a hardware store. Do not use a serrated or heavier line because it can overload the motor and cause overheating. You can also buy pre-threaded spools from Black and Decker's website or at some hardware stores. Feed the line through the hole and begin to wrap it around the spool. The more you overlap your spool, the more likely it is to get tangled when you start working with it. Instead, wrap the spool so that the line is wrapped next to itself, not over itself. Most Black and Decker models will have you wrap the string counter-clockwise. Allow for 6 inches (15.24 cm) of slack on the end of your line after you're done wrapping it around the spool. Cut the thread with gardening shears or sharp scissors and put the excess line through the eyelets on the spool to hold them in place. Repeat the steps to wind up and secure the other line on your spool. Again, follow the arrows when you are winding up the line.
Summary: Thread your new line into the holes designated on your spool. Wind the line around the spool, following the arrows on the spool. Secure the line to the spool and cut the line. Thread and wind the other side of the spool.
