INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your bra straps should be doing minimal work to hold up your breasts--a properly fit bra band should provide almost total support. If the band is too loose, you may be tightening your straps to pick up the slack, causing them to gouge into your shoulders. Your bra band should be snug, but no so tight that you can't slide a finger between the fabric and your skin at the front of your bra. The band should be parallel to the floor and sit no higher than the bottom of your shoulder blades. If you measure your bust and find your bra band is the right size but still too loose, then it's simply too old and needs to be replaced. If your cup size is too large, you may be tightening your straps too much to keep the cups from looking pointy or to pull the them flat against your chest. If your cup size is too small, the straps may not be long enough to accommodate your breasts and be pulled tight, gouging your shoulders. A bra in the correct size will have cups that lie smooth and flat against your chest, without pinching or causing your breasts to overflow from the sides or top. If the center panel of the bra (the part between the cups) doesn't lie flat against your breastbone, your cups may be too small, forcing you to tighten your straps to a painful degree. Many full-support bras come with wider straps, which distribute weight better than thin straps and provide more comfort. Even with a properly fitted bra, thin straps can sometimes still be painful for women with larger breasts. Try to avoid them when possible. If your bra fits properly but the straps are still causing you discomfort, invest in cushioning designed specifically for bra straps. They fit under or around your straps and should mold against your skin so they are not obvious under your clothes. Some bra straps, especially wider straps, come with build-in cushioning for added comfort.

SUMMARY: Check that the bra band is the right size. Make sure your cup size is correct. Wear a bra with wider straps. Buy a cushion to wear under your straps.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place your aluminum piece on a sheet of aluminum foil with the shiny side facing away from the aluminum piece. Fold the foil over so it covers the aluminum piece but is not sealed. The aluminum foil creates distortions as well as a rainbow pattern on the aluminum due to the heat and chemical reaction. Keep the open ends of the aluminum foil facing upwards so that the water can run down into the package. Stack your pieces in the dish rack of the washer. Add powdered dishwashing detergent, like Cascade Complete or Finish Dishwasher Powder, to the dispenser. Then, add 1 teaspoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to the dispenser. TSP can be found at your local hardware or home improvement store. Age the aluminum by running the dishwasher on the pots and pans cycle. Turn on the drying cycle as well. After the cycle is complete, carefully remove the aluminum pieces from the dishwasher. Use caution, as they may be hot. Remove the foil around the aluminum. If you want to add more patina or increase the aged look of the aluminum, wrap the pieces in aluminum foil at a different orientation and run them through the dishwashing cycle again.

SUMMARY: Wrap your aluminum piece in aluminum foil. Load your aluminum pieces in the dishwasher. Fill the dispenser with powdered dishwashing detergent and TSP. Run the pots and pans cycle. Remove the pieces from the dishwasher. Repeat the process to add more patina.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Depending on your hair's natural oiliness, curliness, and other factors, you'll need to tweak the basic "poofing" process slightly to make sure it works right for you. While the essential process should be the same, pay attention to the way your own hair behaves and tweak the process accordingly. If you have very thin hair, you'll probably need to use a considerable amount of hairspray or other product to get your hair to stay up. If your hair is a lot thicker, you should use less product and tease your hair more. If you have oily hair, most people will need to wash more frequently 4-5 times per week, to make it more poofy. Some people, however, tend to get a little more body the less frequently hair is washed. You want your hair to be nice and clean when you attempt to poof it up. Massage a pea-sized amount of shampoo into your scalp and hair follicles, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Get to know your own body and wash your hair as frequently as it needs it. In general, you want to wash slightly less. 3-4 times per week should be enough for most people. Avoid washing in excessively hot water, which can dry your hair out and leave it stringy. Hair conditioner is used to leave your hair feeling smooth, and it can also help to give your hair some body, without tangling it up. If you want to emphasize your hair's natural body, use hair conditioner every time you wash it. Rinse out conditioner thoroughly, running water through a couple of times to make sure it's all gone. If you don't, excess conditioner can make your hair feel greasy and lank after you wash it.

SUMMARY:
Let your own hair be a guide. Clean your hair using shampoo. Apply conditioner.
