Q: The first step to changing from red to blonde hair is bleaching it, which can cause significant damage. The best way to protect your hair is to condition it in the weeks before you want to change your hair color. If your red hair is the result of hair dye, you'll need to remove the dye before you can get to blonde. You can purchase color removers from most beauty supply stores. Follow the directions for applying and rinsing out the dye in your hair. Depending on how long your hair is and how recently you've dyed it, you might need to use more than 1 cycle of the color remover to completely get the color out of your hair. Quite a bit of the remover comes in 1 box, so you might be able to get more than 1 cycle out of the box. Developer is a creamy substance that lifts that cuticle of your hair to allow the bleach to get into your hair shaft. It's best to talk to a professional about which developer is best for your hair, but a developer that is 30-volume or lower is best. A higher number can cause significant damage to your hair. If your hair is a light strawberry blonde, you can use a 10-volume developer. It will lighten your hair about 1 shade, which should be just enough to take you from red to blonde. The most commonly used developer is 20-volume developer. It will only lighten your hair to 1 or 2 levels from your current shade, so use this only if you have a dark strawberry blonde or light copper hair. A 30-volume developer is best if your hair is between light copper and dark red. It can lighten your hair more than 3 shades. However, if you hair is a very, very dark red, you might need to use a 30-volume developer in more than 1 round of bleaching. The strongest developer available is 40-volume developer, and can cause serious damage to your hair if it's not used properly. If you feel the need to use a 40-volume developer, it's probably best to ask a professional to apply it to your hair. You can purchase hair bleach powder from most beauty supply stores. The bleach and developer containers will have instructions for how much of each you should mix together. Mix them together until they have a yogurt-like consistency. Part your hair straight down the middle from your forehead to the nape of your neck. Then, part your hair across from ear to ear. This will give you 4 distinct sections. The handle of a rat-tail comb works well for parting your hair. Use plastic clips to secure 3 of the sections, and leave the other section down to begin bleaching. Dip a tint or dye brush into the bleach mixture up to about 1in (2.5cm). Gently brush the bleach onto your hair at your part, getting as close to the roots as possible and continuing down to the ends. You can purchase gloves from a beauty supply store. You should also put a hair cape or towel around your shoulders to protect your clothing, and a towel down on the floor or sink near where you're doing your hair. Once you've applied bleach to your part, continue parting your hair at 0.5 to 1in (1.3 to 2.5cm) horizontal intervals. As you finish each section, flip the already bleached hair up and over your head. continuing to brush bleach onto each section below. Continue until the first section is done, then unclip the second section and bleach it. Repeat on the remaining 2 sections until all your hair is bleached. Make sure you brush bleach onto the top and underside of each section of hair you part. Once you've applied bleach to your whole head, let it sit for between 30 and 45 minutes. Keep an eye on your hair once it's a very light yellow color, you're good to go! If your hair is a dark red, you won't get a light yellow on your first try. Leave the bleach on your hair for 45 minutes and then rinse it out. You should wait at least 3 weeks between each bleaching. Otherwise, your hair could become so damaged it falls out. If you don't have the patience to wait for multiple rounds of bleaching at home, you should see a salon professional. Once your hair has turned a bright yellow color, you'll need to rinse the bleach out. Use lukewarm water and rinse your hair until it runs clear. Then lightly shampoo your hair, using about half of your normal amount of shampoo.
A: Condition your hair regularly before you bleach it. Remove any dye in your hair if needed. Choose a developer strength. Mix together hair bleach and a developer. Divide your hair into 4 sections. Put on rubber gloves and then brush on the bleach. Continue sectioning your hair horizontally. Let the bleach sit for 30 to 45 minutes. Rinse out the bleach.

Q: If you find yourself wondering "Where does all the time go?", this is a great way to find out. For one week, write down everything you do while using the Internet. What websites you visit, how much time you spend on each, how often you refresh or update pages, each time you click on an embedded link, etc. Often our worst Internet time-wasting habits are things we do mindlessly. Make sure you include the time you spend using the network on your smart phone or other hand-held device. For people with on-the-go lifestyles, this is often where we clock in most of our Internet hours! Checking our email or refreshing our Twitter feed every five minutes is an impulse that keeps us from being able to focus on longer tasks. If the paper we're researching begins to feel frustrating or boring, it seems harmless to take a 10-second break in order to see if something more exciting is going on in another window. The problem, though, is that all these little breaks, plus the time it takes us to refocus our attention as it shifts back and forth, really add up. Particular habits will vary from person to person, but some examples might include: Do you check your email fifty times in a day? Perhaps you spend an appalling amount of time on celebrity gossip blogs or websites? Maybe you keep yourself logged in to Google Chat or Facebook Messenger when you're doing other things, and find you are frequently interrupted by friends looking to chat? Or maybe you find that after thirty minutes of concentrating hard on something, you get a sudden intense "craving" to see if anyone new has "liked" your new Facebook profile picture, and then just get sucked into your newsfeed for an hour or more? It might seem like your friend is being hyperbolic when she says something like "I'm totally addicted to my iPhone!", but there's actual science behind this. Technology dependence actually changes the way our brains work, very similar to the changes a brain undergoes in the instance of drug, alcohol, or gambling addictions. The culprit is a chemical in our brain called dopamine, which controls our moods, motivation, and sense of reward. Every time you hear the bloop of your Facebook messenger, a little surge of dopamine is released in your brain, which is what triggers the urge to check it. Dopamine addiction is an endless cycle. The brief "high" is caused by the anticipation, the uncertainty of the unknown. Who could the message be from? Usually the urge to find out is greater than the satisfaction we feel once we've actually seen the message, which leaves us feeling a little low, and eager for another dopamine boost. While technology dependence is becoming increasingly common in today's world, we don't have to be slaves to our dopamine receptors. With a little mindfulness and dedication, we can train ourselves to resist this eternally unsatisfying, unproductive loop. For many people, unlearning pre-existing habits can be difficult, especially at first. Recognize that most of these changes are going to require restricting yourself things that bring you comfort or pleasure. It's not uncommon to even experience mild withdrawal symptoms when we begin to alter our Internet behaviors in this way, due to the decrease in dopamine production. Keep in mind that this transitional discomfort is temporary, and that you are on your way to being a happier, healthier, and more productive person.
A: Create an Internet activity log. Identify your problem areas. Get acquainted with your dopamine. Resolve to make necessary changes.

Q: Do this in the adoption center. If you want a young boy bunny, for example, then let them know that is who you are looking for. Be quick. Other Jammers might want to adopt the child too! Lots of Jammers forget to add their new child, easily losing each other.
A:
Clearly advertise what you are looking for. Tell the animal you want that you want to adopt them. Buddy your child so you always know where they are.
