Article: Hair follicles produce natural oils that add shine and softness to your hair. Washing your hair repeatedly with harsh chemicals (such as those present in most shampoos) removes these oils. While these oils can build up and become greasy in appearance over time, washing your hair every day can also strip away the healthy oils. Try skipping a day or two between washes to help improve the look and feel of your hair. If your hair is very fine or if you sweat a lot, then you should wash your hair every day. Use dry shampoo between washes to keep your hair looking fresh and clean. People with fine and thin hair should wash their hair every other day while people with coarse or curly hair may only need to wash their hair once or twice a week. Conditioner can give you soft silky hair, so it is a good idea to leave a little on your strands. When you condition your hair, don't rinse it for too long. Try to rinse your hair until most of the conditioner is out, but your hair still feels slick. This will help to ensure that your hair stays soft and silky all day. You may also want to wring the excess water out of your hair before you apply conditioner. This will help to ensure that your hair soaks up as much conditioner as possible. For fine or thin hair, only apply conditioner to your strands. Do not apply it to your roots. Humectants are special ingredients that absorb moisture into your hair from the air and environment around you. Read the ingredients label of your hair styling products, and choose products that contain ingredients such as: Glycerin Propylene glycol Butylene Glycol Dipropylene glycol Hexanediol Honey Agave nectar Using blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can dry out your hair and create split ends. This dry, fragile, and broken hair will be difficult to smooth and appear dead and dull. Try using heating tools as little as possible, or avoid them altogether. Always let your hair air dry after you wash it. If you must use a blower, flat iron, or curling iron, apply a leave-in conditioner or spray in a heat protectant first. This will help to protect your hair as you style it. Occasional use of heat products can make your hair feel soft and look great, but repeated use will damage the hair. If you do not trim your hair for a long time, then split ends can develop. Split ends can make your hair look damaged and dry. Take time at least once every three to four months to get a hair trim to help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy.

Article: This temperature will help keep your pet from being shocked or scalded by the water. If you don't have a thermometer, aim to use water that is around room temperature to keep your pet as comfortable as possible. This method is particularly useful for cats, rabbits, or any other animals that generally don't like being given baths. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can also simply mix warm water with some dish soap and use a flea comb dipped in this mixture to keep your pet's fleas. However, this won't be as effective as using a spray bottle to apply the mix. You can either wrap your pet in a towel to keep it from moving or gently hold it down by its neck. Be very gentle when holding your pet down; remember that this might be very stressful for them! Make sure your pet's fur is completely soaked through before moving on to the next step. Be sure to avoid getting water in your pet's eyes or ears, since this will irritate them. Use around 2 to 3 teaspoons (9.9 to 14.8mL) of dish soap to begin with and add more as needed. Start applying the soap at the neck and work your way down towards the tail. Make sure to rub the soap deep enough into the fur so that it reaches your pet's skin. Fleas typically live and lay their eggs close to an animal's skin, so it's important that you make sure the dish soap reaches all the way down to your pet's skin to kill all of the fleas. If your pet has really thick fur, you may need to apply a bit more dish soap to make sure you're reaching down to the skin. Start from the top of your pet's body and work your way down toward the tail. For best results, use a flea comb to brush your furry friend's hair as you rinse off the soap to make sure you're removing as many fleas as possible. Note that you may need to spray a lot of water on a single area in order to get all the soap off. Your pet may be especially tense after this process, especially if it's a cat. It may even run away from you after you release it. Be careful as you release your pet to avoid being scratched or otherwise injured. Don't take this behavior personally; your furry friend will be back to normal soon, especially when the food gets put out!
