article: One of the easiest and quickest ways to increase the strength in your hands is to do simple grip exercises. Do a few sets of 30 to 50 grips in each hand with a grip or ball of your choice. Stress balls are usually palm-sized balls that you can squeeze to exercise your hand. Don't have one? Use a tennis ball. Spring grips, stretchy bands, spring-gloves, and other hand-exercisers are common on the market. Check out what's available at a sporting goods store in your area, or online. Baoding balls are Chinese stress-relief balls that can be used to exercise your hands. To use them, you rotate two balls around in your palm. They make nice sounds and help you exercise your hands. Wrist-strengthening exercises have the added benefit of increasing your grip strength, as you hold the weight that you're using. You can do wrist-strengthening with bands, hand-weights, or other household items. Hand weights:Grip a small amount of weight (3 to 5 pounds) in each hand, your palm facing toward the ground. Flex your elbow up so your arm comes out straight, letting your wrist hang down. Flex your wrist slowly, making your arm straight. Then let it back down slowly. Do three sets of 10 to 15 reps with each hand. If you don't have hand-weights, use cans of soup, bricks, or any other hand-sized objects. Exercise bands:Stand on one end of the band and grip the band with your hand, palm facing down. Lift your arm until it comes out straight, then flex your wrist slowly as you grip the band, making your arm straight. Do three sets of 10 to 15 reps with each hand. If you're in relatively good shape but still struggle with slightly fatty fingers, start doing more advanced push-ups. Instead of doing push-ups with your palms flat on the floor, do them with your palms raised and your weight on your fingertips. Shoot for doing a few sets of 5 to 10 reps. Do a couple more sets of regular push-ups in addition to your fingertip push-ups. Push-ups help to strengthen your wrists and your pectorals, both good for all-around upper body strength and weight loss. Dexterity is your ability to use your fingers and hands to perform complex tasks quickly. It's just as important to hand health as strength. To work on your fine motor skills, you can exercise your dexterity, doing hand and finger-oriented tasks on a regular basis. How many words a minute can you type?

Playing an instrument, especially piano, violin, or guitar, but also certain woodwinds like flute, clarinet, and other instruments, are all excellent for working on your fine motor skills. Never learned? Good time to start. There's some debate about whether or not cracking your knuckles is harmless or harmful. Many people, however, think that cracking knuckles leads to "fat" knuckles. Since there's little to be gained from cracking your knuckles, it can't hurt to stop. While there's no data to suggest that cracking your knuckles causes arthritis or significant knuckle swelling, some research seems to suggest a connection between long-term knuckle-cracking and decreased grip strength.

article: If the iPod was not completely submerged, be careful not to let water slip into any of the port openings. If the device was on when it got wet, and remains on, that's a good sign! It means that the device hasn't short circuited. Still, hold the power button and power the device down before any water can make its way into the electronics. Use a towel or paper towel to dry off any of the reachable surfaces or crevices, but remember the inside of the device is what really counts. Remove any case or peripherals on the device. This can help the device dry out faster. If you don't have the means to surround the device in something absorbent, then you can air dry. If you don't have a fan, then storing the device somewhere dry with access to air can work as well. Do NOT use a blowdryer or other hot air device. You can risk melting the electrical components and causing further damage. The amount of time can vary, but you want to make sure that the device is completely dry before powering it back on. If it starts up without issue, then things are looking good. Test out the controls to make sure everything is okay. It is also possible that the device lost charge while you were waiting. You can connect the device to a power source and check for the charging symbol after a few moments.

Conditioner makes hair smooth and silky, but when you're trying to hold curls, you want a rougher, dryer texture. If your hair is too slippery, it won't hold curl. When you wash your hair, rinse out the shampoo and skip the conditioner altogether. This product is actually made for people with curly hair, but it works great for straight-haired people who want to add curl, too. Use a dime or quarter-sized amount, depending on the length of your hair. Comb it through your hair from the roots to the tips to distribute the product evenly. If you don't have curl cream, you can use gel or mousse instead. Don't add too much product to your hair, since you could end up weighing it down. Too much product will cause the curls to fall out instead of staying in place. There are many methods used to curl wet hair without using any type of heat. You can have shiny, glossy, well-shaped curls or waves without using a curling iron; you just need some extra time. Try one of these popular methods to get the look you want: Create pin curls Make sock bun curls Curl hair with an old t-shirt No matter which curling method you use, the secret is to let your hair completely dry. You can help it along by blowing the pinned-up curls with a blow dryer. Alternatively, sleep on the curls and let them dry overnight. Unpin one curl to test and see if they're dry. If the curl is still wet inside, pin it back up and wait few more hours, then try again. Remove the pins, t-shirt-strips or socks that helped you curl your hair, and let your curls down gently. Avoid combing or brushing them, since this can cause them to fall out right away. Use a medium or strong-hold spray to finish the look and hold your curls in place for the rest of the day. Remember to avoid touching your hair too much, since puling on the curls can make them fall out faster.
