Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use silver, purple, or gray color-depositing shampoos. Alternate between color-safe products and color-depositing products. Use a temporary gray or silver rinse to even out your hair color. Do a toning treatment if color-depositing products aren't enough. Re-touch your roots when they start to show.

Answer: Use purple shampoo if you notice yellow tints in your hair, and silver or gray shampoo when the color starts to fade. Get your hair wet, then apply the shampoo. Leave it in for the time recommended on the label (typically 5 to 30 minutes), then rinse it out. Leave the shampoo on for only 5 minutes the first time that you use it to get a better idea of how strong it is on your hair. An alternative to purple shampoo is blue shampoo. It is better suited to silver or gray hair, and may even be labeled as such. You can purchase color-depositing shampoos as your local beauty supply store. If you use color-depositing products too often, you might end up changing your hair color. Use your color-safe shampoo/conditioner once or twice a week. Every 2 to 3 weeks, use a color-depositing shampoo/conditioner. For example, using purple shampoo too often, such as every day, can make your silver hair look like it has a purple tint. Don't be afraid to use different kinds of purple shampoo. There are ones that are more like purple dye, and ones that are more like shimmery conditioner. You can even mix them together to create a unique blend. These products wash out, so you should apply them to your hair after you have finished washing it, while it is still damp. Rub the gray or silver rinse into your hair, then let it air dry or speed the process up with a hairdryer. This product can stain. Use an old towel when towel-drying your hair. If you don't find the applicator bottle convenient to use, try a spray bottle instead. It would be best to do this at a salon, but you can do it yourself. If you are doing it at a salon, consider getting it done at the same time as your root touch-up. If you are doing it yourself, use a low-volume developer and a white or platinum toner. You can also do a bleach bath every 1 to 2 months. Get it done professionally at a salon, and be aware that it can be damaging. While the time between root touch-ups varies based on how quickly your hair grows, for most people it will be somewhere between 4 to 8 weeks. Since this requires a precise hand, it would be best to get it done professionally at a salon. If you cannot afford this, consider getting a friend or family member to help you. If you choose to enlist a friend or a family member, make sure that they have some experience with bleaching and dyeing hair.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wait to harvest until the trees are at least 5 years old. Plan to harvest in the winter. Watch for dead grass at the base of the tree as a sign of growth. Consider training a dog to find truffles.

Answer: Expect to wait about 5 years to harvest your first truffles. Some truffles may be ready for harvest as early as 3 years after planting or not until 10 years after planting, but 5 years is the average. Avoid digging into the base of your trees before the truffles are ready. You may end up damaging the growing truffles and losing profit as a result. Your truffles should be ready to harvest at the beginning of winter. Wait for the temperatures to drop and then check to see if any truffles are ready for harvest. Plan to harvest in early winter before the ground starts to freeze. If you wait too long it may be difficult to dig up the truffles. The grass will look like it has been burnt right around the base of a tree that has truffles growing underneath it. This is because the fungus is killing off the other plants in the area around the tree. The dead grass around the base of the tree is called the "brulee." A well-trained dog can make harvesting truffles much easier for you. You can train the dog to find, dig up, and bring you the truffles. Use positive reinforcement to teach your dog to find truffles and bring them to you. For example, every time your dog retrieves a truffle, make sure to offer lots of praise and a treat. You can also use a female pig to find truffles for you, but you have to watch the pig closely when they find a truffle because they will eat it.

Answer: If you are using nuts, dried fruit, or chia seeds, sprinkle them over the surface of the chocolate during this step and quickly fold or mix them in. Scoop the chocolate mixture up using a large serving spoon and transfer it into your lined pan. Once all the chocolate is in the pan, quickly smooth out the top using your scraper or palette knife. If you use molds instead of a square tin, spoon the chocolate mixture into a bottle or disposable decorating bag and squeeze it into the molds one by one. Once all the molds are filled, lightly tap the molds on your counter to pop any air bubbles that may have formed. If you want to make chocolate chips, spoon the chocolate mixture into a pastry bag with a narrow tip and pipe the chocolate chips out onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Allow the chocolate to harden on its own. You can leave it out at room temperature as it sets, place it in the refrigerator, or place it in the freezer. If you cool the chocolate in the freezer, it should be ready within 30 minutes or so. In the refrigerator, the mixture may take a little over 1 hour. At room temperature, the mixture might take several hours to set. Note that dark chocolate made with honey or maple syrup may not set sufficiently at room temperature. Cool the candy in the refrigerator or freezer, instead. Once the chocolate has completely hardened, remove it from the pan and peel away the wax or parchment paper. To remove dark chocolate from molds, turn the the mold upside-down over a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper. Tap on the bottom of the molds with your fingers or a butter knife, or carefully flex the mold to loosen the candies. The chocolate should fall out of the molds as you do this. Your dark chocolate bar is ready to enjoy at this point; eat it as a whole bar or snap it into smaller chunks. If you aren't quite ready to eat it yet, though, wrap the dark chocolate in a clean sheet of wax paper or place it in a resealable plastic bag to save it for another time. Dark chocolate made with sugar can be stored at room temperature. If you make it with honey or maple syrup, however, the chocolate should be stored in the refrigerator.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test for wax. Screen your floor with a buffer. Refinish your floor Avoid sanding old hardwood floors unless absolutely necessary. Consult a professional with restoration experience.

Answer:
Unless you know your floors are unwaxed, you'll need to test for wax in order to know how to best care for your flooring. Dampen a piece of extra fine steel wool and use it to rub areas you think might be waxed. Wax will show up as a light grey smudge or smear on the steel wool. Floors that date prior to 1930 typically have many layers of paste wax over a tung oil finish or shellac. You can screen and re-wax the floor or use a chemical stripper to remove the wax and apply a modern polyurethane finish. The easiest and gentlest way to restore an old floor to its former glory is to screen it with a buffer, which can be rented from most hardware stores. After cleaning the floor, use a handheld sanding screen to roughen up the edges and corners of the room where the buffer can't access. Use a buffer with a 150- or 120-grit sanding disc to screen the floor, or buff down the existing finish. Sanding pads are color coded, with black, purple, and brown being abrasive stripping pads. Green and blue are mid-level abrasive, and tan and white pads are mild polishing pads. The sanding discs will wear out, so you'll need at least three to screen a typical room. Buffing will not remove deep scratches or heavy damage. It will, however, help restore shine and remove surface scratches to old or dull hardwood. . Once you've finished buffing, wipe down windowsills and other surfaces and vacuum the room thoroughly to remove all dust. Your choice of finish will depend on the results of your wax test. For waxed floors, apply paste wax. If your floor was finished with a modern sealer, go with polyurethane. You can't use one if you started with the other: don't apply wax to a polyurethane finish or vice versa. If your floor is more than 50 years old, you should avoid sanding it. There's a limit to how much wood you can remove without permanently damaging the floor. When cleaning and reviving an old hardwood floor, sand only if it's so heavily stained that screening or chemical stripping aren't options. Get professional help if your old hardwood flooring is seriously worn or damaged, or if you're unsure about its composition. Word of mouth is typically the best way to find a good contractor. Look for one with restoration experience who won't advise you to simply rip out the entire floor unless absolutely necessary. For example, if your floor needs patching, you could have an experienced contractor remove flooring from a hidden spot, like a closet, and use it to replace a worn or damaged area.
