No matter what the cause of your vaginal itching, you may be able to get temporary relief from the discomfort by applying a cool compress, like a washcloth, to your labia. To use a cold compress, take a clean washcloth and hold it under cold, running water until it is saturated. Then, wring out the excess water and apply the cloth to your vaginal area for about five to 10 minutes. Make sure that you wash the washcloth after using. If you want to repeat the treatment, use a new washcloth. You can also use an ice pack. Just make sure that you wrap the ice pack in a clean paper towel and do not leave it on your vaginal area for more than 20 minutes at a time. Irritants from your laundry detergent, soap, or other products may be causing your vaginal itching. Switching to unscented laundry detergent and skipping fabric softener may help to relieve vaginal itching caused by allergies. You may also want to switch to a gentle cleanser to eliminate potential irritants from your shower gel. For example, you could try using Dove bar soap or Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser. Avoid scented cleansers, wipes, powders, and other products that might irritate your vaginal area. You can purchase aqueous creams and emulsifying ointments that will help relieve feminine itch at most pharmacies. Be sure to follow all of the instructions for application, and be aware that these products will not treat the underlying cause of your itching. Scratching will likely only worsen the irritation and cause even more itching. It may even lead to an infection if you cause a lesion, so avoid scratching at all costs. Some women may experience occasional vaginal itching that does not require any kind of treatment, but if you have severe or persistent itching, there's a good chance that there is some underlying cause. It's important to identify the cause so you can treat it if you have an infection, or so you can avoid coming in contact with the source of the irritation.

Once you have everything planned out, calculate the cost and begin saving. It is probably best to start planning your trip six to eight months ahead of time. This way you can ensure that you will have enough money saved up for your trip. Make sure to do this if you do not have one. Make photocopies and electronic copies of your passport just in case you lose it. Also email yourself the photocopies. This way you can access them on a computer anywhere. Additionally, make sure to check your travel destination's tourism website to see if you need visas for your trip; for example, you may need a visa if you are traveling for an extended period of time, or if you are traveling from an EU country to a non-EU country. Do this once you have everything planned and the costs calculated. Try to purchase your plane tickets, accommodations, and train tickets (or rental car) a couple months in advance to get the best deals. Ask your bank about their exchange rates and fees. See if they have credit cards available that can help you get around some of these fees while you travel. Make sure to ask about any ATM withdrawal fees as well. Additionally, before you leave, make sure to let your bank know you will be traveling to avoid having your credit cards frozen. Ask your cellphone carrier about their international rates, as well as the type of international plans they have available. If you determine that the rates are too expensive, then look into getting a prepaid phone, like a tracphone. It is always a good idea bring a global map or maps of the countries you will be visiting. This way, if you cannot access the internet to activate your GPS, then you will have a back up. Try to purchase travel guide books that include maps of the countries you will be visiting.

Using your regular shampoo and conditioner regimen, wash your hair as you normally would. Rinse your hair clean of shampoo and conditioner. Choose a time when you will not be exercising or creating a lot of extra sweat in your hair, which can alter your results. Using a hair dryer might change the way your hair reacts in a certain amount of time, so using a towel and air to dry your hair is the best method. Choose regular thread instead of a thicker thread intended for sewing heavy-duty fabrics. Try to get the full strand, rather than having it break in the middle. You want to see how thick your hair is, so choose a strand of hair that is most representative of your entire head of hair. The crown of your head is the best area to get the strand from. Your hair should be dry, and have no styling products in it. It is best to leave styling products out of your hair while you're testing it to get the most authentic results. Use a sheet of white paper to help you clearly see the hair strand and the thread so that you can compare them more easily. Take a close look at your hair, such as by using a magnifying glass or magnifying mirror. If it is really curly, stretch it out a bit before you compare it to the thread. It might help to tape down the strand and thread ends so they stay put. Thin hair: If the hair strand's thickness is thinner than the thread piece, you have thin hair. Medium hair: If your hair strand is about the same thickness as the thread, you have medium hair texture. Thick hair: If the hair strand is thicker than the piece of thread, you have thick hair.
