INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once you've picked out the thread for your sewing project, look at several needles and hold the thread up to a needle's eye. The eye shouldn't be narrower than the thread or you'll have a hard time threading the needle. Look at the point of the needle too. You may want a needle with a sharp point so it can pierce fabric easily, for instance, or pick a needle with a blunt tip if you're sewing knit fabric. Consider buying a pack of needles in many different sizes, so you can try a few until you find one that's the right size.

SUMMARY: Choose a needle that can accommodate your thread's thickness.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Heat is the number 1 enemy of hair, especially natural hair. It can not only dry your hair out, but also lead to frizz. This doesn't mean that you have to wash your hair using freezing temperatures. Simply use the coolest setting that you can handle. How often you wash your hair depends on how quickly it gets greasy. Depending on your lifestyle and hair type, this can be anywhere from 3 to 10 days. Don't lean forward when you rinse your hair. When you straighten back up, your hair will get tangled and frizzy. Stand upright and tilt your head back under the running water. Hair oil is only good for locking in moisture, so if there is not enough moisture in your hair to begin with, you'll only end up making your hair look shiny and greasy. The key to getting soft, lustrous curls is to wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Every 1 to 2 weeks, switch out your regular conditioner for a deep conditioner. Don't use oil on your hair while it is still wet. You will apply that once your hair has dried. The only time you should touch your hair while it is wet is when you are detangling it, patting it dry, or applying products. Once you put the products in, leave your hair alone. The more you mess with your hair, the more you'll break up the curl pattern; this can lead to frizz. If you want to use the scrunching technique, wait until your hair is mostly dry. It is recommended for those with loose or wavy curls. You can wrap your hair around flexi rods or put it into two-strand twists while it is still wet. This does not count as "messing." Pat your hair dry with a T-shirt to soak up any excess moisture first. Next, apply your desired products while your hair is still wet. This includes things like leave-in conditioners and styling gels. Divide your hair into sections when applying the products, then run a wide-toothed comb through your hair. This will ensure even distribution. Do not use oils when your hair is still wet. Instead, stick with water-based products instead. It would be even better if they have a gel-like consistency. Never use a hair dryer on your hair and call it a day, as this will lead to dryness and frizz. Instead, pat your hair dry with a T-shirt, then let it finish air-drying on its own. If this is not possible, pop a diffuser attachment onto your hairdryer. This will distribute the heat and give you nicer curls. Always use a low-heat setting on your hairdryer. Stop when your hair is about 90 to 95% dry. Never use a towel to pat your hair dry, as this will lead to frizz. In most cases, you will want a layered cut rather than a straight-across-the-bottom cut. If you choose the latter, your hair may taper out into a pyramid shape. Thinning may work for some types of curls, but it may not work for others. Ask your stylist for their opinion. When it comes to hair care, you get what you pay for. In most cases, a cheap conditioner from the drug store will not give you the same results as an expensive conditioner from a salon. This is because cheap, drugstore brands tend to contain harsh, drying ingredients that tend to leave hair more frizzy than curly. Try salon brands such as: DevaCurl, Ouidad, ECO, or Camille Rose Naturals. When choosing oils, stick with lightweight, natural oils, such as: argan, coconut, grapeseed, or jojoba. If you must use a cheaper brand, make sure that it does not contain any sulfates, as these can cause hair to turn dry and frizzy.
Summary: Wash your hair using cool to lukewarm water. Moisturize your hair with shampoo, conditioner, and deep conditioner. Don't touch or mess with your hair when it is wet. Apply oil-free products while your hair is wet. Allow your hair to air-dry or use a diffuser. Get a haircut that enhances your curls. Use high-quality products.

Some of the household products used in this method might irritate the skin. Make sure to wear latex gloves to avoid this. If you're working on a table or countertop, make sure to cover it in newspaper before proceeding.

Avoid using vinegar on marble, stone, aluminum or cast iron. These surfaces can be damaged by vinegar. Moisten a rag or cloth with vinegar and rub the surface vigorously. After about 15 seconds of rubbing, check the surface to see how much residue is left. Continue rubbing until the surface is clear. This product is specifically designed to remove sticker residue. It's safe to use on many surfaces, but tends to leave an oily residue behind. Follow the instructions on the packaging. They'll tell you what surfaces the product is safe for in addition to how to use it. Since mayonnaise contains both vinegar and oil, it's well suited for removing sticky residue. However, you should make sure to avoid using it on porous surfaces, like wood, plastic and cloth, as it could stain these. Spread mayonnaise onto the sticker residue. Rub the surface until the residue is gone.
