Problem: Article: Satin pillowcases will make your hair less frizzy. It sounds like a simple tip, but it really works. You won't wake up with a serious case of bedhead. Braiding your hair before sleeping is a good idea, especially if it's wet. Going to sleep on wet hair is a bad idea, though, with curls. Shower with cooler water. Hot water is going to make your hair frizz. In fact, heat in general - whether it's humidity or self-applied heat, wet or dry - is bad all the way around for curls. Air dry your hair to keep heat off it once you're out of the shower.Try using chopsticks to tease out curls while air drying them. Using hot tools every day can be equally disastrous. Avoid them, at least sometimes. A couple times a week, when you shower, don't use shampoo at all. In fact, you might not want to wash your hair at all a couple times a week. Shampooing every day can steal vital nutrients from curly hair, and make it look lackluster or weighted down. Regular towels are going to cause bad frizz for those with curls. So avoid those bath towels that everyone commonly uses. They don't work great with curls. A microfiber towel or even a T-shirt works best to get the water out of wet hair. Attach a diffuser on your blow dryer if you must use one. This is going to make the hair dry more evenly, and it will protect it from some of the damage. But remember that heat is awful for curly hair. You're probably used to combing from the roots of your hair down to the ends. Experts suggest you try the reverse. Start at the ends, and work your way back up to the roots. Knots at the end of your hair are easier to get out if you tackle them first. You will create more frizz if you are constantly touching or trying to style your curly hair after it dries. Leave it alone. This is even more true with curls.
Summary: Sleep on satin. Avoid heat at all costs. Skip shampoo completely. Pick the right towel. Use a diffuser. Comb upward. Stop touching your hair.

Problem: Article: Since watches can be worn tightly or loosely, you'll need to decide if the watch is fitting the way you'd like. Check your wrist after wearing your watch to see if it leaves an imprint on your skin. If it does, your watch might be too tight. Or if the watch bothers you by sliding up and down on your arm, you may want to tighten it. To secure the watch to your wrist, consider wearing it on a tighter setting. If you have a metal strap with links, pinch the clasp up towards you. This will show you how many links to remove. Use needle-nosed pliers and a push pin to remove the extra links or take the watch to the jeweler. If you have a fabric or leather strap, use a different hole on the strap to secure it to your wrist. If your watch is fitting too snugly on your wrist, add links to the band. You'll need to use links that came with the watch when you bought it or ask a jeweler to add new links for you. Carefully remove the pins from the clasp end and insert the new link. Secure the clasp end back onto the strap. If you have a fabric or metal strap, use a different hole to secure the watch. If you're on the loosest hole setting, you may need to use an awl to punch an extra hole in the band. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws on both sides of the lugs. The lugs are the metal points that hold the strap to the watch itself. The strap should come away easily once you've unscrewed it. Put the new strap in place and screw both sides back into the lugs. Try on the watch and adjust the strap according to your preferences. If you're unsure what size strap you'll need, look on your old strap. Many straps will have the size printed on the underside of the band. If you don't see it, measure the distance between the lugs in millimeters.
Summary: Identify if you need to adjust your watch. Remove links to make the band smaller. Add links to loosen the band. Replace the watch strap.

Problem: Article: You can either ask him/her directly or ask your partner's friends if he/she would enjoy a specific activity. If your date is expecting the classic dinner and a movie, he/she might not be thrilled with the idea of playing tennis or going bowling. Active first dates are good ways to break the ice, if you don't know your partner very well. Play a round of laser-tag, mini-golf, or go bowling. You and your date can be as competitive as you like when it comes to keeping score. This low-stress activity can be great for first date jitters since you'll be in a casual atmosphere. See if your bowling alley or laser-tag company offers any special features, such as black light nights. Be sure to determine your date's skill level and preferences when it comes to hiking. Choose a trail that allows you to talk and enjoy each other's company, nothing too strenuous. Bring water and let your date know to wear comfortable shoes. Consider packing a meal for your hike. Look for nice places to stop and eat or wait till you reach the end of the trail. You can tailor your picnic to be as casual or romantic as you like.
Summary: Decide if your date wants to do something active. Be competitive. Find a park and go on a hike.

Problem: Article: Unfed adult female deer ticks have a unique bright orange-red body surrounding the black scutum. Adult males are dark brown to black in color. The name "wood tick" is used for a number of different ticks, including the deer tick, lone star tick, and American dog tick. All three ticks tend to live in wooded or recently cleared areas, and crawl up from the ground. You'll need to look to their markings to tell them apart. Brown dog ticks will have mottled brown and white markings on their scutums, which deer ticks do not have. The lone star tick has a distinctive white star-like marking on its scutum. The deer tick is about half the size of the brown dog tick, both in its pre-fed state and when engorged. Brown dog ticks rarely attach to humans. However, they are one of the few ticks that can infest a home. As the name implies, they're frequently carried by dogs, and can be found in kennels, around veterinary offices, and outdoor areas frequented by infected animals. " It may look like a head, but this is the part of the tick that attaches to the host in order to feed. It consists of two leg-like sensory structures that detect the presence of a host, a pair of knife-like structures that allow the tick to cut through the skin, and a single barbed structure (the "hypostome") that enters this opening. The capitulum on the deer tick is much longer than in other common ticks, such as the dog tick. The capitulum is positioned to the front, and visible from above. The female deer tick has a larger capitulum than a male deer tick. Adult male deer ticks do not feed. Deer ticks are particularly well-established along the Eastern and Upper Midwestern United States, but can be found as far south as Texas and into Missouri, Kansas, and parts of Oklahoma. Deer ticks are most active in the spring, summer and fall. However, they may be active whenever the temperature is above freezing. Other forms of ticks, such as the dog tick, are generally most active in spring and summer months only. The adult form of the deer tick lives in woody, brushy habitats. They prefer low-lying shrubs, not trees. The Western Blacklegged Tick is another form of the deer tick, found along the Pacific Coastal regions. It is especially active in Northern California. This form of tick rarely attaches to humans.
Summary:
Identify the tick by its markings. Look at the length of the tick's mouthparts, or "capitulum. Consider where you found the tick.
