Q: Purple shampoo is the most common, but something that is blue-tinted would work even better. Blue sits opposite orange on the color wheel, so a blue-tinted toning shampoo will be more effective at balancing out the orange. This method is recommended for those who bleached their hair, and hot roots. Be aware that this method will also tone the rest of your hair as well. If you can't find a toning shampoo, make your own by stirring a few drops of dark blue or purple dye into white conditioner. You want violet/lavender color. You can do this by leaning over a sink and running water over it, but it would be even easier to just undress and step into the shower. You can even combine this method with your evening or morning shower. Using hot water is important as it will open up the hair shaft. This will make it easier for the hair to absorb the color in the shampoo. Massage the shampoo into your roots first, then work it through the rest of your hair. Because this shampoo contains so little color, you can use it like you would any other shampoo and not worry about it staining your hands. This depends on the brand you are using, so check the label. Some types of shampoo require you to rinse the dye out immediately, while others recommend that you leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Because this shampoo is so gentle, however, you can leave it on for longer depending on the damage. You can leave the shampoo on for up to an hour. If you need to step out of the shower, tuck your hair under a shower cap. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear. You can follow up with a sulfate-free conditioner meant for color-treated hair. If you made your own toning shampoo with white conditioner, skip the extra conditioner. Using cool water will help seal the hair shaft and lock in the color. It will also help make your hair shiny and smooth. You can let your hair air dry, or you can apply a heat-protectant product and speed things up with a hair dryer. Your roots should be a cooler color than before. If you bleached your hair all over, they might be a light orange color. Sometimes, chemically-treated hair just goes brassy over time. If this is the case for you, you'd want to use the toning shampoo once per week.
A: Purchase a blue or purple toning shampoo. Get your hair wet with hot water. Apply the shampoo to your hair, starting from the roots. Allow the shampoo to sit in your hair, if needed. Rinse the shampoo out with cool water. Dry your hair. Use the shampoo once per week if the brassiness comes back.

Q: Bring your rocket and its launcher, the baking soda packet, and a cork with you. Place the PVC launcher in the middle of the area, away from walls and windows. Pick a spot outside where you can make a mess.
A: Go outside to your backyard or an open area.

Q: Walk over to the passenger side of the car. Look under the glove box near the door's frame. Identify a black hood release latch. On the latch is a picture of a car with its front hood raised. The latch is near the floorboard where the foot pedals are. Look under the dashboard next to the door's frame. Identify a black latch with a picture of a car with its hood raised on it. Use your fingers to pull the latch toward you. Pull the latch until you hear a pop and feel the tension release from the latch. Your Mini Cooper's hood should have popped open. If the hood is still closed, you may need to pull the latch harder. If the hood does not pop open after multiple attempts, the hood release cable may be broken. Ask a mechanic who is familiar with Mini Coopers to look at it for you.
A: Look for the latch on the passenger side if your car was made before 2009. Find the latch on the driver's side if your car was made in 2009 or later. Pull the latch toward you to pop the hood.

Q: Some sunspots are tough to remove and don't respond well to OTC creams and other products. If you'd like to remove or lighten the sunspots for cosmetic reasons, visit a local dermatologist and ask them to inspect your sunspots. Describe to them how long you've had the sunspots and mention what other treatments you've tried. In some cases, you may need to visit your general practitioner first and get a referral to a dermatologist. Laser resurfacing can be done at a doctor's office or hospital. The procedure entails removing upper layers of your skin (which include the unwanted sunspots) with beams of light. Laser resurfacing is expensivesince it's typically not covered by insurancebut effective in removing sunspots by taking off thin layers of skin. Recovery time can take up to 3 weeks. You'll be mildly sedated during the procedure itself. It's an outpatient procedure, though, so you'll be dismissed from the doctor's office or the hospital after it's done. Before going ahead with the procedure, the doctor will ask you about your medical history and any prescription medications you're taking. This will help the doctor confirm that the patches are, in fact, sunspots and aren't caused by another skin condition. If your doctor agrees that a chemical peel will help remove your sunspots, they'll apply a mild acid to your face. This treated layer of skinwhich typically contains the unwanted sunspotswill peel off, allowing fresh new skin to grow in its place. Peels can be performed at some dermatologist offices or at hospitals. The procedure can leave the affected area red for several days. The procedure can cause some lingering pain, so your doctor may suggest you take OTC pain medication or use a cold compress for a week. If you'd rather not treat your entire face but would prefer to focus only on removing sunspots, cryotherapy may be the way to go. When performing this procedure, doctors typically use nitrous oxide to freeze the sunspots. The spots will then scab and fall off in approximately 1 week, leaving un-darkened skin behind. Microdermabrasion is a fairly aggressive way to treat sunspots, so make sure to check with your doctor before having the treatment performed. In the procedure, a doctor will use a special applicator to remove the outermost layer of your skin. This will remove sunspots and leave fresh skin behind. Some doctors will perform the procedure at their office, while others will refer you to a local hospital. Fortunately, the procedure isn't painful and can be done in 60 minutes. Your skin may feel tight or slightly stretched after the microdermabrasion. If this bothers you, take a dose of OTC pain medication.
A:
Visit a dermatologist if your sunspots don't respond to OTC treatment. Ask your doctor to treat your sunspots with laser resurfacing. Get a chemical peel to remove layers of sun-spotted skin. Freeze your sunspots with cryotherapy for a spot-focused treatment. Try microdermabrasion if other medical treatments haven't worked.
