Q: Every time you wash your hair, the shampoo strips away natural oils and moisture. Conditioner is essential for keeping your hair moisturized and healthy. Look for conditioners that are formulated for African American hair or for hair that is curly, dry, or prone to breakage. Most conditioners work best if they sit on your hair for at least a few minutes before you rinse them out. Follow the instructions on the bottle to figure out how long to leave your conditioner in. Rinse your hair with cool water after conditioning to seal up the cuticle and lock in moisture. You can also use conditioner by itself to wash your hair between shampoos (co-washing). This is especially common for those who have natural hair. at least once a month. Deep conditioner penetrates further into the hair shaft than regular conditioner, helping to repair damage caused by regular washing, styling, and exposure to the elements. Apply deep conditioner to damp hair after washing, and follow the directions on the bottle to determine how long to leave it on. If you wash your hair frequently, you may need to deep condition more often (up to once a week). Deep conditioners containing ingredients like argan oil and keratin can provide extra protection and nourishment for your hair. Protein masks are also great for repairing and conditioning stressed or damaged hair. You can also make your own deep conditioner with mayonnaise. Rub it into your locks and leave it in for 15 minutes. Rinse with your regular shampoo and conditioner. Repeat this every 1-2 weeks for ultra-soft curls. Moisture is critical to keeping your hair resilient and healthy. Apply your favorite moisturizer daily, if you can. If every day is too much for your hair, try decreasing applications to every other day. Applying your moisturizer before bed instead of in the morning can help prevent your hair from feeling weighted down during the day. Start with a water-based moisturizer, then seal it in with an oil or butter. Finally, lock it all in and set your style with a moisturizing hair cream. Look for moisturizers containing ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil. Because it takes such a long time for your hair's natural oils to travel to the ends of the strands, it's important to infuse your hair with oils to supplement those your scalp already creates. Massage the oil into your scalp to moisturize and promote healthy hair growth. Avoid petroleum and mineral oils, and instead select plant-based oils. Castor oil (or Jamaican black castor oil) has been used for hundreds of years to increase the softness of hair and aid in faster growth. It may also help encourage thicker growth if you have thinning hair. Lavender oil is great for promoting hair growth, and can also combat hair loss.

Q: There are a wide variety of virtual pianos online. Browse the internet and find a few. Make sure to spend some time messing around with a few of them so you can find one that you like and are comfortable with. The advantage of online virtual instrument applications is that there is no need to download or install any additional software programs. To find virtual piano applications, search the Internet for "virtual piano keyboard" or "play piano online." The first thing you need to do is experiment a little with the virtual piano you've chosen. Feel free to play it a little, hit random keys, or otherwise just mess around. Remember that: The virtual piano keys on the screen usually correspond to the keys on your computer keyboard. See if the app has a guide to your keyboard so you can find out which of your keyboard keys trigger the piano keys. If you have a touch screen, you'll be able to just touch the screen to play. If you want, use your mouse to touch the piano and to play some notes. After experimenting a little, you should take the time to really get to know your keyboard and the specific online piano application. By doing this, you'll be able to discover features and gain more familiarity with the app. Notice that the keyboard is broken up into two colors, black and white. Identifying and using the black and white keys will form the basis of playing an online piano.
A: Locate a virtual piano keyboard online. Experiment with your virtual piano. Observe the keyboard.

Q: The goal is to have sexy, toned legs, but you only have so much time. When you figure out where to focus your efforts, you can maximize your work out. Maybe you like the shape of your calves, but you have heavier thighs. Maybe you think your shorts could use a little more end game. Or maybe you just want an all-over workout. The point is to make it work for you. Squats and lunges are the most common leg exercises. They're great because they work out most or all of your major leg muscles and they can be easily customized to target specific areas. You can search for exercises that work a particular area, or you can just look for leg toning exercises and test them out to see where you feel your legs working the most. For example, to give your inner thighs an extra workout, you can squeeze a medicine ball between your legs while squatting. Or to work your calves, you can bring your heels together with toes facing slightly outward, rise up on the balls of your feet, and go into a half squat. Even if you hate squats and lunges, there are other options. For example, bridge position is a good workout for your thighs and butt. Lie on your back on the floor with your hands down by your sides. Bring your knees up and place your feet flat on the floor. Keeping your arms flat for support, use your abs and glutes to slowly peel your butt and lower back off the floor, raising them until your torso creates a straight diagonal line. Hold for a few moments, then slowly lower back down with control. Repeat two more times. You can also make this a little more intense. From the raised position, lift your right leg straight up in the air with your foot flexed. Pulse up and down 10-15 times in this position, then lower your foot and slowly lower down. Repeat on the other side. You can also do this from crab position if you want to get a little arm toning in too, but make sure you pulse from your knee and elbows instead of your waist. Pick some of your favorite, upbeat tunes and throw them together for a little extra inspiration. If you regularly use the same mix of songs, you may even find that it cues your focus and primes you for your workout so that you're ready to go. For your toning exercises, you may not need more than a half an hour. Do give your workout priority status: whether you commit to doing your workout at the same time every day or prefer more flexibility, make sure that you're giving yourself the time you need to reach your goals. Consistency is important here. You may want to get a pedometer, or you can use a pedometer app if you have a smartphone. Regardless of how you choose to keep track, set a goal to walk a certain number of steps every day. The extra activity will be great for your health, and it can improve your strength and fitness as well. The toning exercises are strength training, but you should also get in some cardio. These activities will elevate your heart rate and improve your physical fitness. Of course, you'll also be getting in some extra legwork to help you meet your goals. Regardless of the activity you're engaged in, make sure that you stretch properly before and after your workout. The point isn't to injure your legsit's to take them from good to fabulous.
