Q: A high-quality purple shampoo should be opaque, not transparent, in color. If you can, squeeze a small amount of the purple shampoo onto your finger before buying it to make sure it has a solid color. Great options include Matrix So Silver purple shampoo and Paul Mitchell Platinum Blonde purple shampoo. You can find purple shampoo online, at local beauty supply stores, or at a salon that sells retail products. However, you may want to call the salon first to make sure they have it in stock. Darker purple formulas, some of which verge on indigo or blue in hue, work best on platinum, gray, or light blonde hair. Shy away from bright purple or violet shampoos and look for a dark shampoo made specifically for pale hair. Blonde hair needs less purple coloring to remove brassiness from its tone. Avoid inky violet shampoos and go for a brighter color to prevent oversaturating your hair. The lighter the color, the less brassiness it will absorb from your hair. Keep this in mind when choosing the right purple shampoo for you. Purple shampoo is ideal if you want to turn blonde or silver hair from a brassy to a brighter, more neutralized color. It is not as effective on brunette or black hair. If you have darker hair, try another shampoo treatment instead.
A: Find a purple shampoo with a thick color and consistency. Buy a darker purple shampoo for grey, silver, or platinum hair. Pick a brighter purple shampoo if you have blonde hair. Avoid purple shampoo if you have dark hair.

Q: If you are experiencing difficulty completing a back walkover, get advice from your coach or teacher. An experienced gymnast will recognize the difficulty in how you carry out the move, whether it be a lack of flexibility or simple hesitation. If you experience any pain when attempting a back walkover, see a doctor to eliminate the possibility of an injury that might be slowing you down. Completing a successful back walkover will not be possible without adequate flexibility in your back and shoulders. Do shoulder stretches and back stretches regularly to improve your flexibility. To avoid injury caused by overstretching, have your coach or an experienced teammate supervise your stretching. Doing back walkovers without adequate flexibility can cause injury over time. Psychological blocking is a common issue in gymnastics where a gymnast freezes up and is unable to carry out a skill. There is no specific explanation or solution for this, but overcoming negative thinking is important. Avoid overthinking the problem by giving yourself a fixed amount of time to attempt the move, then moving on to other skills and exercises. Try doing a back walkover at the beginning of your workout to avoid the stress of thinking about it during other exercises. Recognize that psychological blocking is not a personal flaw and avoid self-blame.
A: Seek advice on why you might be having trouble. Do stretches to improve your shoulder and back flexibility. Combat psychological blocking with practice and positive thinking.

Q: Look in the laundry aisle at your local grocery store or shopping center and see if you can find a stain remover that says something like "removes ink stains" or "eliminates pen stains" on it. Try to lift as much of the ink stain as you can using just the cloth. If the stain remover you're using comes in a spray bottle, spray it directly on the stain. If you're using a stain-removing pen, draw over the surface of the stain with the tip of the pen until the entire stain is covered with the stain remover. Read the instructions that came with the stain remover to see how long you should leave it on the garment. If you're not sure, leave it on for about ten minutes. You should begin to notice more of the ink transferring from the stained garment to the cloth. This is a sign that the stain remover is working. This will prevent the ink from transferring to other clothes in the wash. Wash the stained garment on the same setting you normally would. If it didn't, repeat the process, starting with applying the stain remover to the stain. Never put stained clothing in the dryer, as the heat will set the stain and make it much harder to remove.
A: Buy a stain remover meant for ink stains. Blot the ink stain using a damp cloth before you apply the stain remover. Apply the stain remover to the pen stain. Let the stain remover set into the stain. Blot the stain using a cloth. Put the stained garment in the washing machine by itself. Check to see if the pen stain came out in the wash. Make sure the garment is stain-free before you dry it.

Q: Hold your decal up against the surface you want it on. Move it around to see which positioning you like best. If you want the decal to be centered, measure the surface from top to bottom and side to side with a tape measure and mark the center. Use a level to make sure the decal is straight. Lightly draw a line along the surface to mark where the top edge of your decal will go. If you're working on a window or the outside of a vehicle, use a strip of tape to mark the surface instead. The top edge is the edge at the top of your decal. Don't remove the top lining or the backing on the decal yet. Line the decal up with the marks you made and apply the tape to the top edge of the decal. Use a long, continuous piece of tape to cover the entire top edge. If you're putting up your decal alone, tear off a piece of masking tape before you hold the decal against the surface so you're not struggling to do it with one hand.
A:
Choose where your decal will go on the surface. Mark where your decal will go with a pencil. Tape the top edge of your decal to the surface with masking tape.
