Q: Look up organizations that make wigs for people with cancer, Alopecia, etc. Find one that you like and know the requirements for a hair donation. The policies vary amongst organizations, and some may or may not take your hair. Two organizations, Pantene and CWHL (Children With Hair Loss) accept donations of 8 inches (20.3cm) or more. Locks of Love and Wigs for Kids accept donations only of 10 and 12 inches, respectively. If it's curly, pull it straight to measure. Make sure your hair is not chemically damaged (dyed repeatedly), very dead (split ends), or dirty, and is at least 812 inches (20.330.5cm) long (depending on the organization). Hair like this is often not accepted. Be sure you don't waste your hair or your efforts! There is a difference between colored and bleached hair. Each organization is different, but just because you've colored your hair doesn't necessarily mean that you're out of the running to help. Gray hair is appreciated just as much! Most organizations have a form online that you can fill out to accompany your donation. If you want to remain completely anonymous you may choose to do so, but if you want verification that your donation was received, this step is necessary. This may be as simple as including your name and address. And if it takes a couple of months to hear back, don't fret. Sometimes the organizations are running low on help and it takes time to get everything organized. You can always call or inquire online if you're curious.
A: Do your research. Prepare your hair. Fill out the form.

Q: Most of your body's water loss happens through perspiration. Cover as much skin as possible with loose, light-weight clothing. This will trap the sweat against your skin, slowing evaporation and therefore water loss. For this reason, it's probably best to go with a cotton undershirt rather than a wicking fabric. Cover it all with a light windbreaker. Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and gloves. Pack wool or fleece clothing. If an emergency occurs, you may be traveling at night, when it can get quite cold. Light-colored clothing reflects more heat, but dark clothing usually provides better protection from UV light, which causes sunburn. If possible, find white clothing that's labeled with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 30+. Whenever you enter a desert, bring more water than you expect. While walking in the sunshine and 40C (104F) heat, the average person loses 900 mL (30 oz) of sweat every hour. In an emergency situation, you'll be thankful for any water you carried. Divide the water you're carrying among several containers. This minimizes the amount of water you can lose to one leak. Store the excess in a cool spot in your vehicle, away from direct sunlight. Energy bars, pemmican, jerky, and trail mix are popular choices. Do your research, experiment beforehand, and be prepared. When wheeled vehicles break down, it's just your two legs and the path to the next town, and you don't want to be carrying anything nonessential. Include some foods with salt and potassium, which are lost in sweat. These will help you avoid heat exhaustion and retain more water. However, if you are dehydrated, excess salt can make you feel worse. Food is not a priority in a desert emergency. If you are out of water, only eat the minimum required to function. Here are the bare essentials for a survival kit: Sturdy emergency blankets Cords or rope Water purification tablets First aid kit Fire starters Powerful flashlight or headlamp. LEDs last longest. Knife Compass Signal mirror Goggles and a dust mask or bandana (for dust storms)
A: Wear clothing that minimizes sweat loss. Bring lots of extra water. Bring food that packs the most nutrition in the least size and weight. Pack survival equipment.

Q: Heatstroke is a potentially life-threatening emergency. If you think someone may have heatstroke, call emergency services or take them to the emergency room right away. Someone with severe heatstroke may have to be admitted to the ICU. They will likely need to be treated with IV fluids. Check their temperature periodically. If their temperature has risen to 103F (39C) or above, it is getting dangerously high and you need to seek emergency medical care. While some people may not develop red, flushed skin, it can indicate a worsening condition, particularly if they were pale and clammy before. The skin may feel dry or damp to the touch. These symptoms can indicate heatstroke, as can the person losing their appetite. Talk to the person to see if they've noticed these symptoms. You could say, "Do you feel nauseated? Have you vomited?" While heavy sweating is an indicator a person is getting too hot, the sudden absence of sweat means the person has gotten severely dehydrated. If the person has been cooling down and drinking water for 10 to 30 minutes, a slow decrease in sweat isn't a cause for concern. As the person gets warmer, it can affect their ability to think clearly. You may notice they can't answer your questions coherently or use clear speech, for instance. They may try to fight you off as you attempt to cool them down. Be gentle with them, but cool them down and seek medical help. Children and older adults are particularly vulnerable to heatstroke. Keep a close eye on potentially vulnerable people in situations where they may be exposed to extreme heat or overexertion. If you notice signs of heatstroke, remove them from the situation and seek medical attention immediately.
A: Seek emergency medical attention if you suspect heatstroke. Watch for a rising temperature. Look for red, flushed skin that's hot to the touch. Ask if the person is nauseated or has vomited. Pay attention if the person suddenly stops sweating. Watch for confusion, slurred speech, and irritation. Be especially vigilant with children and elderly people.

Q: Exfoliating your skin with argan oil can help remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin. The sugar crystals act as the rough element to gently exfoliate. You will be able to feel the mixture working as you rub it onto your skin. The exfoliation will leave your skin feeling clean and nourished. Rinse the scrub off thoroughly and you will see and feel the moisturizing and exfoliating benefits.
A:
Make a simple exfoliating scrub with argan oil. Combine a few drops of argan oil with a few drops of vanilla extract and brown sugar. Apply this combination to your skin and work in using a gentle, circular motion. Continue until your skin is mildly exfoliated, smooth, and moisturized. Rinse with water.
