Problem: Article: An electrologist is a person who has gone through special training to perform the electrolysis procedure. Research different electrologists in your area and make a list of the ones you think are most qualified. Try to find at least 3-4 electrologists to start with. Look for electrologists with at least 5 years of experience in the field, with positive reviews on their business page and social media and a professional-looking website. Many cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists offer electrolysis in their offices, so you might want to start by searching for these. Ask your family and friends for recommendations. Read online reviews to get a good idea of an electrologist's previous work. In many states, electrologists must be licensed or certified in order to practice. If you live in a state with these requirements, make sure that the electrologist's license is on display when you visit the office. If your state doesn't require licensure, choose an electrologist who has obtained certification from an accredited electrology school. Even if your electrologist is licensed, check to see if they are registered with a professional organization, such as the American Electrology Association (AEA) in the U.S. This indicates a commitment to ongoing education in their field. Do not undergo a procedure from someone who is not certified. Write down any questions you have before your consultations and make sure you feel that they have been answered fully. Be sure to ask whether the electrologist uses needle electrolysis, as this is the only kind approved by the FDA and American Medical Association (AMA). Some of the questions you might ask could include the length of each session, how many sessions the electrologist estimates you will need, and the cost of each session. You may also want to ask about how the procedure will feel and how long the clinic has been in business. Make sure you talk to the electrologist about the results you hope to achieve. Show them where unwanted hair on your face is located, as this might affect the final results. Since electrolysis leaves your skin vulnerable to infection, ask the electrologist what procedures the clinic practices to protect its patients. Do they wear gloves? Do they use proper sterilization procedures, such as wiping down all equipment with sanitizer or using individual needles for each client? Look around while you're in the office. Ask yourself if the office and exam rooms seem neat and clean. Do the technicians and staff seem to be practicing sanitary methods? Check to see if the technician washes their hands before examining your skin. Most importantly, ask yourself if you feel comfortable. If the answer is no, keep looking.
Summary: Search online to find electrologists in your area. Check the credentials of the electrologists on your list. Attend several consultations before you make a decision. Ask about sanitary procedures.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Because bleaching is so tough on the hair and can severely dehydrate it, you must make sure that it's properly moisturized beforehand. For approximately two weeks before you bleach, do a deep conditioning mask twice a week to ensure your hair is fully hydrated. If your hair is extremely dry, you may want to use the deep conditioning treatment as much as three times a week leading up to the bleaching. You can purchase bleach powder at beauty supply stores, but you must mix it with a developer before you apply it to your hair. Add the amount specified by the packaging for the bleach and developer to a non-metallic bowl and stir them together well. Developer comes in different strengths. To lighten your hair and limit the damage, opt for a 30-volume developer. If your scalp is very sensitive, though, you may want to use a 20-volume developer. If you're new to bleach, you might want to start with a 10- or 20-volume developer. This will let you go through the process a bit more slowly, though you may not get your desired shade immediately. While bleach works best on virgin hair, you can still use it on hair that's been colored before. Bleaching damage is usually worse the darker that you hair is. To get the best coverage, use a dye or tint brush to paint the bleach mixture onto your hair. Use the pointed end of the brush to part your hair so you can get as close to the roots as possible. Carefully brush the bleach mixture through to the ends of your hair. Be sure to wear rubber gloves when you're applying the bleach mixture to your hair. If you don't mind having some roots showing, you may prefer not bringing the bleach all the way to your scalp. That can help limit the damage to your follicles. After you've applied the bleach all over your hair, allow it to sit for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Check on your hair every 15 minutes or so until it reaches your desired shade whether light blond, yellow, or medium brown. Refer to the instructions that came with your bleach, as different brands have different processing times depending on the level you are starting with. Everyone's hair is different. Your hair may process slower or faster than your friend's or sisters. Use the processing times for reference only. Never leave bleach on for longer than 45 minutes. If your hair didn't turn out light enough, you will need to do a second process the following day. When your time's up, wash the bleach mixture out of your hair with cool water. Next, shampoo your locks with your favorite formula to ensure that it's completely clean. Rinse your hair out well and skip the conditioner for now as it may prevent the toner from working. Use a gentle, moisturizing or hydrating shampoo, if you can. Your hair will be dry after using the bleach, so this will help make it a little softer. After you've bleached your hair, it usually has a brassy yellow tone rather than a cool white look. To soften the color, apply a toner to your damp hair. The toner is meant to neutralize the brassy tones in your hair, so allow it sit for 20 to 30 minutes. You can purchase hair toner at beauty supply stores and many drugstores. You can do the same thing with purple shampoo, as well. Purple shampoo will remove brassiness and yellow tones from the hair, and doesn't need to sit as long as toner. When the toner has sat on your hair for the designated time, rinse it out with cool water. Treat your hair with a deep conditioning mask and rinse it out according to the instructions. If you hair is extremely dark, you'll need to bleach your hair two to three times to lighten it all the way to blond. However, you should give your hair time to recover before bleaching it again. Wait at least two weeks before lightening your hair again.

SUMMARY: Deep condition regularly beforehand. Mix the bleach with a developer according to the package instructions. Apply the bleach to the hair with a tint brush. Let the bleach sit for about half an hour. Rinse the beach out your hair. Work a toner through the hair and let it sit. Wash out the toner and apply a conditioning mask.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: T-intersections are where two hallways intersect and there are two separate corners to clear, neither of which grants better cover than the other. You essentially have double the space to clear, and several blind-spots further down either side of the uncleared hallway. The reasons behind this will be explained in detail later. The number one rule here is to not break the plane created by the intersecting hallway. Still, you want to see as much as you can before you commit to entering the hallway. Make sure nothing is an immediate danger. Again, crossing the plane created by the intersecting hallway telegraphs your presence to a possible intruder. Now that you have cleared as much as you can without crossing the line, you must break through the plane. Enter to the right. The reason the order of the side is important is because you can turn faster toward your support side than your firing side. If someone ends up being in the corner to your left, you can, more quickly, spin to your left than your right. This is all assuming you are right-handed. Everything should be flipped if you are left handed. Go through diagonally, spotting the corner you are heading toward, and a look over your shoulder to the other corner. View the images to the right for visual representations.
Summary:
Know what makes T-intersections especially dangerous. Start on the right side of the hallway when approaching a T-intersections. Keep an eye on the right corner as you make your way toward it. Clear the left corner as you would any corner, but do not place any part of your body past where the wall ends. Step back and to the left once you've gotten a view of the left corner. Clear the right corner the same way you did the left corner. Decide to enter. Proceed in a fashion similar to a door.
