First, apply a deep conditioning mask to your hair, focusing especially on the ends. Turn your shower on as hot as you can get it, then pin your hair up so the ends of your hair are exposed. Sit as close to the steam as you can without touching the hot water and relax for 20-30 minutes. When you're done with the steam treatment, adjust the shower to a comfortable level, then rinse the conditioner out of your hair. This is a great method to help restore moisture to your hair after a professional straightening treatment. The reason this is so good for your hair is because the steam opens the cuticles on your hair, allowing the conditioner to penetrate the strands. You can find straightening products at any drugstore or beauty retailer, most of which come in the form of a serum or a cream. If you want to get the look of a sleek salon blowout at home, look for a heat-activated formula that will protect your hair from damage caused by the blow dryer. Apply the straightening product while your hair is still wet, then blow dry your hair in sections with a round brush. Serums and creams will not straighten your hair permanently, but they can help keep your hair looking sleek in between keratin treatments or when your roots start to grow out from Japanese straightening or a relaxer. Natural oils can deeply penetrate your hair, which helps your hair maintain moisture. This helps protect your hair from damage, which can cause frizz. Try these to nourish your hair after a chemical straightening treatment. Natural oils also help your hair fight humidity, so your hair will look more smooth no matter what the weather is like. Look for natural oils that are rich in vitamins and minerals to nourish your hair, like coconut oil, argan oil, macadamia oil, and almond oil. There are a number of keratin treatments that you can apply yourself at home to get smooth, straight hair. Most keratin products are applied to damp hair before blow drying, although some should be applied to dry hair. These claim to last anywhere from 1 wash up to 30 days, depending on the brand you choose. Ask your stylist before you try an at-home keratin treatment on hair which has already undergone a chemical straightening process at a salon.

Q: Hair flicks are also easy to do with a partner! Hold your partner's hands with 1 arm and wrap your other arm around their shoulders and upper back. Step from side to side with your partner in time with the music and when you feel ready, dip your partner down low so that they lean backward from their waist. Then help your partner sweep back up into an upright position as they flick their hair forwards. Make sure to support your partner's back while you dip them! Stand behind your partner with you both facing in the same direction. The person who is standing behind needs to wrap their arm around the waist of the person who is standing in front. Keep your right legs together but extend your left legs out to the side and then quickly back in to the beat of the music. Repeat this along to the song and make sure that you both move your legs at the same time. This move is best done fast at a double-count speed to the music. The guy usually stands behind with the girl in front. While performing this move, the person in front can twirl their hands above their head or run their fingers through their hair to make it even more sensual. Stand facing your partner with the right sides of your bodies close together. Use 1 arm to place around each other's shoulders and your other arm to hold hands. Push your hips back and forth in the same direction, moving together in time to the beat. Then swing your hips around together in a circle, just like a regular lower body isolation, making sure that your hips are staying close together at all times. Then repeat the move but push your hips back and forth in the other direction instead. This move is easiest to do if you keep your hips close together as you dance but your upper bodies titled outward slightly so that each person has room to move. It can be helpful for both partners to click their fingers as they dance to make it easier to stay in time.
A: Step side to side and dip your partner to do a hair flick. Hold your partner and keep stepping out and in to do a fast, double-count move. Do lower body isolations with somebody else for an easy partner move.

Article: Position the log horizontally in the carriage so that the blade can cut through its center. Slide the log down the carriage until one end is flush with the blade. Cut the log in half lengthwise, then turn the saw off. To maximize the amount of lumber you get from the log, you can now cut several wide boards from the bottom of one of the halves you just cut. Once you've cut the log in half, line one of the halves up along the blade. You will need to stand it up on its edge. Turn the saw back on and cut the half into 2 equal parts. Turn the saw off and remove these parts. If you haven't cut boards from the other half already, place the remaining half log back in the saw carriage, turn the saw on, and cut this log into 2 equal parts. Always double-check that the saw is turned off when removing cut logs from the carriage to minimize your risk of injury. Place a quartered section on the saw carriage. Orient the saw blade near the open face so that you can cut a board off of it of a predetermined thickness. Turn the saw on and saw off a board. For example, if you want boards that are 1in (2.5cm) thick, align the blade 1in (2.5cm) away from one side of the log. Slide the quarter back under the blade so that the blade is positioned to cut a board of the same thickness as the first, and then saw off another board. Repeat this last step until you have cut the log into as many boards as possible. Remember to turn the log 90 before sawing off each board. Use your quarter-sawn boards to build beautiful wood products! For example, you might build a cabinet or table, use long boards for flooring, or create small objects like boxes or cutting boards. Place 2 quarters next to each other. Then slide each quarter under the blade and cut the 2 quarters at the same time. Remove the 2 resulting boards. Pull the 2 quarters apart and rotate each quarter 90. Place the quarters back under the blade, then cut another 2 boards. Repeat this process until you have cut all of the boards you can from the quarters. Freshly sawn wood typically has quite a bit of moisture in it, so your boards will need to be dried before you can use them. Find a storage spot outdoors where you can stack your boards away from trees (which can drop leaf litter and twigs) or soggy soil. To create the best air flow, elevate your boards on cinder blocks and line them up side by side. If you have a lot of boards, stack them in layers separated by thin wooden slats, then weigh the whole stack down with more cinder blocks. Look for a spot where prevailing winds will blow through the side of the stack of lumber. Use a moisture meter to check the moisture content of the wood periodically. The goal is to achieve a moisture level of around 15-20%. Depending on the weather conditions and the original moisture content of the boards, it may take several months for the lumber to dry.
