Article: In this case, any old shampoo and conditioner won't work. Look for products formulated specially for color-treated hair. These are gentler and are free of harsh chemicals that fade color. If you are overwhelmed by the options, ask your stylist for a suggestion. Avoid using a clarifying shampoo, which will quickly strip the color from your hair. Since you won't be washing your hair as often as you may have in the past, you can use a dry shampoo to soak up oil, add texture, and keep your hair looking and smelling fresh. Spray it about 6 inches (15cm) from your hair, concentrating on the roots. Massage your scalp to rub it in then brush your hair to evenly distribute the product. When choosing shampoo, conditioner, heat-protectant, gel, mousse, hairspray or any other product, read the ingredient list carefully. Sulfates and alcohol strip color and dry out your hair, so steer clear of anything containing these harsh chemicals. Also, avoid anything containing salts or detergents, which can also fade your color. Look for products containing natural oils, like coconut or jojoba, and gentle cleansers such as sodium myreth or trideceth. Check the ingredient list to be sure the products don't contain sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, or ammonium laureth sulfate. To keep your hair healthy and shiny, you can deep condition it on a regular basis. Choose a deep-conditioner formulated for color-treated hair, such as one containing aloe vera, argan oil, and panthenol. Apply it in the shower after washing your hair by coating your strands from just below the roots to the tips. Leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing it out with cool water. You can put a shower cap on to allow the heat from your scalp to intensify the results, if desired. Heat-protectant products are essential for preserving colored hair. Find one formulated for your hair type or ask for a recommendation from your stylist. Be sure to apply it every time you use a heat-styling tool. Let the product dry fully before using a curling iron or flat iron on your hair.

Choose a color-protectant shampoo and conditioner. Use color-safe dry shampoo in between washes. Make sure your hair products are sulfate- and alcohol-free. Apply deep conditioner once a week. Apply a heat-protectant product before using a blow dryer or iron.
Article: There are many different species of snakes, some more suited to becoming a pet than others. Certain snakes grow up to 30 ft (9 m) long! Some snakes can live up to 30 years, so you need to be prepared for that kind of commitment. If you've never owned a snake before, you may want to start with a corn snake, a ball python, or a kingsnake. These snakes have the best temperaments, least amount of feeding issues, highest level of hardiness and healthiness, and come in a variety of colors. You'll need to learn a lot about the snake you want before purchasing it. Research to find out about the particular snake's habitat (including lighting and heating requirements) diet, size, temperament, and life span. Make sure you really want a snake and are prepared to take good care of it for the entirety of its life. Pet store snakes are often poorly bred or captured in the wild. A better option is to find a breeder you can trust that offers high-quality snakes for a price that you are willing to pay. You should also consider adopting a snake, rather than purchasing from a breeder. This way, you can provide a good home to a snake that someone else wasn't able to properly care for. Look for a small-scale breeder, rather than someone who mass produces reptiles. Read reviews about the seller or breeder to see find out if others have had good experiences. Good breeders and sellers know about the animal they are selling to you and should be willing to answer questions that you may have. A healthy snake should have a clear nose and eyes, neatly arranged scales, healthy-looking skin (no blisters or partial shedding), and breathe without respiratory distress. It should not be lethargic, and should allow you to pick it up without too much fuss. Ask the snake's previous owner about the animal's history. This is an important step to ensure you are getting a healthy snake; ask if the snake has had any issues eating, drinking, moving around, or shedding its skin. You also need to know what it eats and how often as well as the date and quality of its last shed (a well-shed skin comes off all in one piece, if the snake sheds in bits and pieces it may be unhealthy).
