Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Limit your hair washes. Add your rose dye to your hair conditioner. Wash your hair in cold water.

Answer: Every single time you wash your hair, your rose color will soften a bit. If you love the color and want it to last as long as possible, try to skip as many washes as you can. Don't worry that doesn't mean you need to completely neglect your hair hygiene. Purchase a bit of dry shampoo to minimize oil and keep your hair looking fresh. Semi-permanent hair dyes in unnatural colors wash out a bit every time you wash your hair. If you're a fan of your rose gold hair and want to keep that color intense, add another tube of the dye to your favorite hair conditioner. When you shower, let your conditioner soak into your hair for a couple of minutes. This will intensify the rose gold color every time you shower. When you rinse your hair with hot water, the cuticle opens. When the cuticle opens, the dye you put in your hair washes out. By limiting your washes to cold water, you'll help keep that cuticle sealed and help keep that dye locked in. While every wash will dilute your rose gold a bit, using cold water will minimize that.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Lay the pike on it's belly and cut about half inch down right behind the head. Angle the blade towards the tail and cut all the way towards the fin. Cut upwards, mimicking the angle of the back fin, to remove the top fillet. Use pliers, your fingers, or careful knife work to remove any center bones from the fillet. Skin the fillet, if desired, while still fresh.

Answer: You'll want a nice, at least 6-inch fillet knife to work with. Cut right behind where the head of the pike meets the body, slicing down until your hit resistance. This is the fish's backbone. Use the backbone as a guide, running down to the top fin. Your entire blade should be in the fish, removing a 1-1/2 inch fillet of flesh from the fish's "back." As you reach the dorsal fin, start curving up so that your knife exits right before you hit the fin. This top fillet should be boneless, as you can stay above all the bones using this method. That said, don't worry if there is bone running down the center. There shouldn't be many, but take care of them now. If they are deeply embedded, which is more common with larger fish, you may need a set of clean pliers to remove them. To do so, slide the knife between the skin and flesh, pushing it through the other side. Holding the top of the fish down with one hand, slice all the way down the fillet to remove the fish. Go slowly to prevent accidentally cutting off the meat. Some people like to keep the knife still, and actually pull on the skin, ripping it off by keeping the knife between the flesh and skin.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep the door open. Take an interest in your employees. Don't mix positive and negative feedback. Listen. Clarify what you're hearing. Ask questions.

Answer: Always remind people that if they have any questions or concerns, you're ready and willing to listen. Maintaining an open channel of communication will make you aware of problems quickly, so that you can fix them as soon as possible. Don't be one of those managers who inadvertently makes an employee feel like they're bothering you when they bring up a question or concern. Instead of seeing it as another crisis to manage, look at it as an opportunity to show your employee how much you want this organization to be a fulfilling place to work. Never minimize or dismiss the concerns of your employees, and always make sure that you've answered their questions completely. Don't make every interaction with your workers strictly business. Ask after their well-being, chat with them about yourself, and establish a personal connection. Being in-tune with your employees' lives outside the office can potentially alert you to times when that person needs extra consideration from you, for instance if he or she requires sudden time off for a family funeral. If you can be accommodating about upheavals in the personal lives of your workers, they'll feel good about rewarding you with loyalty. Know your boundaries. Don't overstep and ask your employees about anything too personal, such as religion, politics, or personal relationships. You can keep up a friendly rapport without being invasive. Say you're giving your employee feedback in a performance review. You start off by mentioning how great the employee is to work with, and note one or two additional things they've excelled at. Then you launch into an extended itemization of their deficits "sales were down this quarter," "revenue slipped," etc. What do you think the employee hears most resoundingly, the positive or the negative? When you mix positive and negative feedback, both areas suffer. The positive becomes overshadowed by the negative, and the negative doesn't carry the full force of its potential impact. Of course, there may be situations where you'd want to communicate this, but on the whole it makes communication less effective. When you silo positive and negative feedback, the positive stands out even more and the negative becomes more urgent. Listen to what your employees and coworkers have to say. You don't always need to be the driver of meetings, keeping others out by dominating the podium. Always make a sincere effort to listen, but be on the lookout most during the following situations: When employees are actively sharing ideas. Don't butt in and talk just to make sure your voice is part of the mix. This can put the idea-sharing into a stranglehold. When emotions are turbulent. Let people voice their emotions in a safe, controlled environment. Stifled emotions can turn into resentment, eroding your working relationship. Similarly, emotions that are not adequately dealt with can interfere with rational discussion, which should be the mainstay of your work environment. When teams are building relationships or having discussions. Offer your employees a receptive ear when they're building relationships and getting creative. A good manager not only strives to make herself clearer, but also strives to understand what those around her are saying. You can do this by repeating what the other person has said as a part of your conversation. Use this technique when you're not exactly sure what the other person is saying. Instead of asking your co-worker "I'm sorry, can you repeat what you just said? I'm not sure I understood." say something like "So you're saying that we could drive up productivity by offering more meaningful incentives. What might that look like in the flesh?" Intelligent questions show that you can follow the flow of the conversation and clarify when necessary. Don't be afraid to ask questions because you're worried about appearing "stupid." Effective managers care about understanding what's important; they don't care about how they get there. Know, too, that others will probably have questions and may not ask. If you ask their question for them, you can act as a facilitator and build your team's engagement level. That's the true mark of a manager.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Peel, slice, and freeze the bananas ahead of time. Add all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor. Add some flavor. Blend until everything is smooth. Stir in some extras for texture. Serve the ice cream, or freeze it for another 30 minutes.

Answer:
If you have not already done so, peel and slice 2 to 3 bananas, and put them into a plastic bag. Leave them in the freezer overnight so that they are nice and firm. The more milk you add, the creamier the ice cream will be. You can use almond milk or coconut milkor any other non-dairy milk. If you are making mint chocolate chip ice cream, use only 2 bananas. All other flavors will require 3. Bananas are sweet on their own, but not everyone likes their taste. You can change the flavor to a certain extent by adding some additional ingredients. Here are some ideas to get you started: To make chocolate ice cream, add teaspoon of vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. To make mint chocolate chip ice cream, add teaspoon of peppermint extract. You can also add a drop or two of green gel food coloring. To make strawberry ice cream, add 1 cup (200 grams) of sliced, frozen strawberries and teaspoon of vanilla extract. To make vanilla ice cream, add teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or teaspoon of vanilla extract. From time to time, you may have to pause the blender/food processor, and push any lumps or clumps down towards the bottom with a rubber spatula. Keep blending until everything is evenly mixed together. At this point, your ice cream is done. You can step it up by adding in some extras, however. Toss in some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles, and gently fold them in with a rubber spatula. If you are making mint chocolate chip ice cream, you might want to stir in a handful of chocolate chips (dark chocolate or vegan). If you are making strawberry ice cream, you might want to stir in a handful of diced, frozen strawberries. At this point, the ice cream is ready as a soft-serve style. If you want it to be more firm, transfer it into a freezer-safe container, and leave it in your freezer for 30 minutes.
