Unless your hair is really oily, shampooing your hair daily can dry out and damage your hair. Washing your hair every other day allows your body's natural oils to condition your hair. You may also consider using a scalp treatment to help keep your hair follicles clean. This may also help to keep your hair healthy. When you do shampoo your hair, be sure to condition it. Hair conditioner helps to replenish the oils that have been stripped from your hair during shampooing. Make sure that you completely wash the shampoo out of your hair before conditioning. After you rinse the shampoo and conditioner out of your hair, briefly rinse out your clean hair under cool water. Cool water ensures that the hair follicle is tight. This reduces the amount of hair that is lost after a shower. Using heat or hair color on your hair damages the hair over time. Try to reduce the amount of heat that you use on your hair by letting your hair air dry when possible. Use sponge or velcro rollers instead of hot rollers. Stretch out the amount of time between coloring and use color-safe shampoo to minimize hair dying damage. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair. Work the comb through the ends of your hair and move your way up to the scalp. Tugging too hard on the hair to brush out tangles will result in hair loss. Pulling your hair too tight into a ponytail on top of your head can result in breakage. Instead, wear your hair down or in a loose ponytail. Avoid using rubber hairbands. Change up the position of your ponytail so that your hair doesn't get too brittle in one area. . Performing a daily scalp massage on yourself may help to stimulate blood flow to your hair follicles and promote hair growth. Include a daily scalp massage in your hair care routine.

Summary: Avoid shampooing every day. Use conditioner. Rinse your hair with cool water. Minimize heat and color. Brush your hair carefully. Wear a ponytail correctly. Massage your scalp

If you use diaper cream on your baby frequently, it's common for a film to stick to the cloth diapers from the cream that's difficult to remove. If you spot this film, strip the diapers to remove it. If you've cleaned the cloth diapers and they're still emitting a strong smell, this is a sign that they need to be stripped. Give the cloth diapers a quick sniff once you've washed them to decide whether they smell fresh and clean or smelly. If you've noticed that your baby's diaper hasn't been absorbing like it should or frequently leaks, this might indicate the diaper's material is being affected by the minerals in the water. Strip the cloth diapers to help improve the absorbency. Hard water is water that has a high mineral content, which is something to avoid when washing diapers. If you have hard water, there are things you can use to treat it, such as vinegar or rinse aids, to help soften it. Find out if you have hard water by adding soap to a bottle of water, shaking it up, and checking for bubbles.

Summary: Look for diaper cream residue in the diapers. Smell the diapers to see if they have an odor after being washed. Inspect the diapers to see if they're leaking while being used. Determine if you've been washing the diapers in untreated hard water.

Tobacco is one of the main culprits that causes teeth to become yellow or stained. The smoke fills the mouth and chemicals stick to the teeth. Try using a patch or an electric cigarette to avoid staining your teeth with smoke. Coffee and tea both have ingredients that lead to stained teeth. If you drink them every single morning, they're bound to eventually leave their mark. Try cutting back to a single serving or removing them from your diet entirely. When you do drink coffee or tea, brush your teeth afterward to remove the residue. If you don't have a toothbrush or sink handy every time you drink coffee or tea, drink a glass of water afterward to rinse out your mouth. Rinse your mouth after drinking fruit juice, wine, and other alcoholic beverages as well.. Eating a lot of sugar is tough on your teeth and gums since it leads to the buildup of plaque and eventually cavities and gum disease. All these factors can make teeth look more yellow, so avoid eating candy and drinking soft drinks as often as possible. When you do eat sweets, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth out with water immediately afterward. As we age, our the enamel on our teeth begins to erode; since the layer underneath isn't as bright, our teeth end up looking yellow in hue. Once the enamel is gone, it's difficult to get that youthful brightness back. Whitening your teeth too often can cause them to look bluish, so you can't rely on that as a backup forever. Prevent enamel erosion in the following ways: Limit acidic foods, such as sour candy. Treat acid reflux promptly. Don't drink too much alcohol or practice other behaviors that lead to excessive vomiting.

Summary: Stop smoking. Drink less coffee, tea and other dark drinks. Eat fewer sweets. Go easy on your enamel.

For each cell in Row 6 where you have an account enter the following formula: "=[Letter]2*[Letter]3/12" in the cell and hit the Enter key. For example, if you were going to enter the formula in B6, you would enter: "=B2*B3/12" and press the Enter key. Copy the formula in cell B6 and paste it into all other cells in Row 6 that have columns for accounts. Excel will automatically adjust the formula for any cells you copy/paste the formula into. You will have previously entered all the credit card information in columns C, D, E, etc., depending on how many credit cards you have. The copied formula will calculate the new data from each column automatically. The annual interest rate is divided by 12 to arrive at a monthly interest charge. For this example of a $1,000 balance at 18% annual interest, the formula will return a monthly interest charge of $15. Once you have entered your data and the formulas have been calculated, you will see how much you are paying in interest on each card and how much your minimum payment of principal is each month. It's important to note the proportion of your payment that is allocated to interest and the amount that is being used to reduce your principal. You want your monthly payments to reduce your principal amount as much as possible, which you can do with a lower interest rate. To pay down your credit cards as quickly as possible, transfer your balances to cards with a lower interest rate or a zero percent introductory rate. See elsewhere in this article for ways to do this. Create a formula using the "SUM" function. The syntax is "=SUM(B6:E6)" where E6 represents the last cell in row 6 that has a number. This is how much you are paying in interest each month for all your credit cards. Keep in mind that the interest fee will change every month as you make payments on the balance.
Summary: Calculate the monthly interest amount. Compare interest to principal payments. Total the sum of all monthly interest charges.
