Perhaps the relationship could have been wrong for you from the start. Maybe you did not want the same things out of life as your partner, or perhaps there were continuing deficiencies that existed within the relationship. Many people choose to break up because they are unable to create a healthy relationship. The following are necessary elements that must be maintained in order for any relationship to be completely fulfilling for both partners: Mutual respect: Treating your partner as if they are valued & their reciprocation of this treatment Compassion: Genuine concern for your loved one Empathy: Openness to how your partner feels Understanding: Understanding your partner's feelings & actions Acceptance: Accepting your mate for who they are & accepting yourself Honesty: Your relationship is built on truthfulness Trust: Willingness to let your partner know your private thoughts, feelings, & aspects of life Communication: Ability to talk freely within your relationship; understanding how to approach your mate with concerns Consideration: Mindfulness of your loved one's needs & your own needs Compatibility and mutual interests: Enjoying & valuing the same things; agreeing to disagree when you do not enjoy or value the same things Personal integrity: Ability to maintain your beliefs & sense of self; offering your time & attention to the relationship Vulnerability: Removal of barriers; ability to allow your partner to see you are human and prone to mistakes without fear of consequence In order to further understand your breakup, think about whether you and your partner regularly disagreed regarding any of the following major relationship areas: Shared finances Recreation & common interests Religious beliefs Displays of affection Friendships Sexual relations Behaviors Life philosophies Family relations Life goals Time spent together Decision-making Household responsibilities Career goals/outlooks Remember that going through a breakup will require a mourning process. Grief is a natural reaction to any kind of loss. Going through a breakup is painful because it may represent the loss of not only the relationship, but of any shared hopes and commitments. When faced with a new uncertain future, it is perfectly normal to feel sad, angry, exhausted, confused, or anxious. Do not allow painful feelings to linger excessively, but do not attempt to ignore them either. It is okay to give yourself permission to function at a less than optimal level for a period of time; you may not feel up to being quite as productive at work, or it may be difficult to give attention to others as you have been accustomed to for a short while. Be sure to take the time to acknowledge your feelings and allow them to process completely. Even if it is difficult, attempt to talk to others about your feelings, so that you will feel less alone with your pain. However, be sure to remind yourself that moving on is the ultimate goal, and that you still have a hopeful future with new hopes and dreams that will replace your old ones. If your self-esteem is suffering from the break-up, it's likely that your inner voice is being overly critical of your role in the break-up. Understand that it's possible to make mistakes and be imperfect without being self-deprecating. If you find that your inner voice is saying negative things about you, try stopping and writing down the negative thought. Then cross it out and re-write the thought as something constructive. For example, "I was too clingy" should be crossed out and replaced with "I will work on being more trusting and confident." For example, "I mess up every relationship eventually" should be crossed out and replaced with "I will keep looking for the right partner and work towards a healthy, strong relationship."
Summary: Know when to ask for help. Assess your relationship realistically. Know what constitutes a healthy romantic relationship. Remember the disagreements. Mourn your relationship. Let yourself process emotions appropriately. Silence your inner critic.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Frizz is often caused by dryness, so it's important to restore moisture to your hair in the shower. Always use a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are detergents that are great at cleaning hair, but can also strip your hair of the natural moisture it needs to remain frizz-free. If your hair is dry, sulfate in your shampoo may be the culprit. Don't wash your hair every day. Wash your hair every other day, or only a couple times a week if you can get away with it. Even sulfate-free shampoos can be drying, so give your hair a rest and let it soak in your natural oils. Anything that removes dirt and grime from your hair is probably also removing its moisture, so use sparingly! Using dry shampoo between washes is a great way to keep your hair looking fresh without the damage of daily shampooing. Unlike shampoo, conditioner is moisturizing and will help tame your locks. Look for conditioners that are specifically marketed as moisturizing, especially those that contain glycerin. On days when you are skipping the shampoo, you can still use conditioner without worrying about damage. It will gently clean your hair, but also hydrate it. If you have the time, let the conditioner sit on your hair for a couple minutes so it fully soaks into the shaft. Choose a conditioner tailored for your hair type. If your hair tends to be oily and limp, avoid conditioners that boast qualities like "moisturizing" or "hydrating," because these will only exacerbate the oiliness and limpness. Shampoos with added protein tend to work well for oily hair, as well as conditioners meant for "volumizing," balancing," and "strengthening." If your hair is extremely oily, you may want to skip conditioner all together, or apply it before shampooing. If your hair is dry, damaged, and prone to break, look for moisturizing conditioners. You may want to also try conditioners that specifically repair hair after damage. Avoid conditioners that are described as "strengthening" or "volumizing." If you are worried about your hair looking limp and flat, avoid your roots and only apply it to the ends of your hair. By soaking your hair in a deep conditioner or oil overnight, you give it extra time to take in all the moisture. This may be especially helpful for African American and Latina hair that may be more coarse and dry, but it can benefit anyone who needs the extra moisture. Comb the product through dry or wet hair and then put on a shower cap before bed. There are a lot of ways to give your hair a boost of moisture, such as doing a weekly hair mask. You can buy moisturizing hair masks from the drugstore or spend a little more on a product from a salon. Again, look for one that contains glycerin, which will hydrate the hair shaft from the inside. You can also skip the store and make your own hair mask at home. Coconut oil is a perfect one-ingredient moisturizer. Eggs, milk, and honey also have nourishing, restorative properties.
Summary:
Wash with a moisturizing shampoo. Condition regularly. Try a mask or overnight conditioner for very dry hair. Give your hair some extra TLC.
