Problem: Article: A dye made from coffee will give you a rich, chocolate brown color. Make a pot of really strong, dark coffee and let it cool down. Mix 1 cup of brewed coffee with 2 cups of leave-in conditioner in an empty shampoo bottle. Add 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds and stir. Divide your hair into four sections. Pin back three of these sections while you apply color to the fourth section. Work the dye into your hair, starting at the roots and working towards the ends with your hands. When you've applied to all four sections, rub the dye all over your hair as though you were shampooing your hair. Cover your hair with an old shower cap and leave this dye on your hair for about an hour. Start your timer when you have put color in the last section of hair. Gently rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar, which will help seal the coffee color onto your hair. Then rinse with cool water until the water runs clear. Use a towel or blow dryer to dry your hair. Alternatively, you can let it dry naturally. Because you haven't used chemical-based color to dye your hair, your hair won't be as dry and brittle and can therefore handle blow drying immediately after dyeing it. Water, soap and heat can lessen the dye's hold on your hair and cause it to escape. Leaving your hair alone for three days will enable the dye to sink into the cuticles of your hair.
Summary: Mix up your color. Apply the dye to your hair. Cover your hair and start your timer. Rinse your hair. Dry your hair. Avoid washing your hair for 2-3 days.

Problem: Article: Dry measurements will kill your plant, so you should only do this type of measurement if you have multiple specimens. Choose a random plant, and remove it from its pot. Leave the other plants alone. With a gentle stream of water, rinse dirt from the plant. You can use your fingers to gently remove clumps. Pat it dry with a paper towel. A drying oven is ideal. Set the temperature to 140{\displaystyle ^{\circ }} Fahrenheit or 60-70{\displaystyle ^{\circ }} Celsius. Heat the plants for at least 8 to 12 hours and up to two days to dry out the plants. If you do not have a drying oven, a food dehydrator set at the same temperature will also work. A conventional oven with a convection setting may work as well. Set it at 140 Fahrenheit for six hours. It will dry out the plants well enough, although a little moisture may remain. Do not leave a conventional oven on overnight. Pinch the zipper closed to prevent moisture from entering. This will keep the plants dry. Allow the plants to cool in the bag. If leaves fall off during cooling, keep them. Place the detached leaves on the scale with the rest of the plant. When it is completely cool, place the plant on the scale. Record the weight. This particular plant is now completely destroyed. You may toss out the plant this point. You can take new measurements after a few days, but you may want to wait a week or two. Once you have the new measurements, you can compare them to the old. Use the growth rate formula to find an average change in weight. The equation for this growth rate is (W2W1)T{\displaystyle {
rac {(W2-W1)}{T}}}where W1=first dry weight, S2=second dry weight, and T equals the number of days between each.
Summary:
Choose a random plant. Wash off the soil carefully from the roots. Place your plant in the oven. Place your plant in a plastic zip bag. Weigh your plant. Calculate the growth rate after repeating.
