Hold the dry conditioner bottle six inches from the midpoint of your hair. Then, spray it one to two times from the midpoint of your hair all the way down to your ends. Do this for your entire head of hair, spraying from midway down to your ends. Do not spray your roots or your scalp with the dry conditioner, as this can lead to clumps and tangles. Focus only on the midpoint and ends of your hair. Once you have applied the dry conditioner, use clean fingers to run the product through your hair. You can also use a brush to distribute the conditioner down to your ends. You do not need to do any major brushing of your hair at this point. A quick light brush should distribute the product well and leave your hair feeling soft and moisturized. If you have extra time to work on your hair, you can apply heat to your hair after you apply the dry conditioner. You may give your hair a quick blow dry to help the product settle into your hair and to give your hair more texture. If you do not want to have to wash your hair for a few days, you can reapply the dry conditioner in the morning before you go to work or school. Depending on your hair type, you may be able to avoid washing your hair for three to five days with the application of dry conditioner. Try to avoid touching your hair a lot throughout the day, as this will ruin the texture and moisture provided by the dry conditioner.

You should make several horizontal lines with varying spaces in between, as well as vertical lines. Mark as many as you like, but be aware that fewer lines will mean larger squares and rectangles.

This will be much easier for your manager, because they'll know exactly where to find the information they need in each report. If you need to update figures included in the report before you turn it in, leave yourself reminders to do so. Organize your report so that the things you know are important to your manager are front and center. If you're unsure about your manager's style and preferences, ask to see examples of previous status reports that they liked.

For example, you might put a green traffic light next to the budget, to indicate that costs were being managed well. If you're a little behind schedule, you would put a yellow light next to the scheduling section.
