Answer: Stop by a salon or a local beauty supply store and invest in a hydrating hair mask. Apply the mask onto the ends of your hair, and work it up your hair towards the roots. Leave the mask in for the required time period and then rinse it out. This will keep your hair strong and hydrated, encouraging growth. Heat can cause serious damage to hair if you don't take proper precautions. A quality heat protectant should be applied all over your hair prior to blow drying or straightening. You should also limit heat treatments in general as this helps hair grow faster. Heat treat your hair for special occasions only. For example, skip the heat treatment until a date night or night out with friends. with natural ingredients. Always check the ingredient label before buying a shampoo.

Use a carrier oil, such as olive oil, to dilute essential oils. Only use a few drops of any essential oil in a tablespoon or two of a carrier oil.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Backup any important data. Insert your Windows installation disc. Set your computer to boot from the installation drive. Start the setup process. Select a "Custom" installation. Select the partition you want to format. Format the selected partition. Install your operating system.

Answer: Formatting your drive will delete all of the data on it and remove the operating system. Make sure that you have any important files backed up to another location, such as an external drive or the cloud. If you're trying to securely erase the data on a drive before disposing of it, see the Securely Formatting a Drive section of this article instead. You'll be using your Windows installation disc to format your drive. This is the easiest way to format the primary drive, as you cannot do this from within Windows itself. You don't need to use your own installation disc, as you won't actually be entering a product key (unless you proceed with reinstalling Windows). If you can't find your installation disc, you may still have options depending on your version of Windows: Windows 7 - You can download an ISO file for Windows 7 be entering your product key here. You'll then be transferring this ISO file to a blank DVD or USB drive using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool which you can download here. Windows 8 - You can download the Windows 8 Media Creation tool from Microsoft here. This program will download and create Windows installation media on either a blank DVD or USB drive (4GB or larger). Run the tool and follow the prompts to create the installation media. Windows 10 - You can download the Windows 10 Media Creation tool from Microsoft here. Run this program to download and create your Windows 10 installation disk on either a blank DVD or USB drive. Most users should download the 64-bit version of the tool. If you aren't sure, see How to Check if Windows is 32-Bits or 64-Bits. In order to run the installer and format the drive, you'll need to set your computer to boot from that drive (DVD or USB) instead of your hard drive. The process for this varies depending on whether your computer came with Windows 7 (or older), or if your computer came with Windows 8 (or newer). Windows 7 (and older) - Reboot your computer and press the BIOS, SETUP, or BOOT key that is displayed when the computer first starts. The most common keys are F2, F11, F12, and Del. In the BOOT menu, set your installation drive as the primary boot device. Windows 8 (and newer) - Click the Power button in the Start screen or menu. Hold Shift and click Restart to reboot into the "Advanced startup" menu. Select the "Troubleshoot" option and then "Advanced options". Click "UEFI Firmware Settings" and then open the BOOT menu. Set your installation drive as the primary boot device. Windows will load the setup files and then start the installation process. You'll be asked to select your language and accept the terms before you proceed. This will allow you to format your hard drive during the installation. After proceeding through the initial installation screens, you'll be shown all of the hard drives and their partitions. You will typically have several partitions on your computer, one for your operating system, one recovery partition, and any additional partitions you may have created or drives you may have installed. You can delete partitions on the same drive to combine them all into a single unallocated partition. This will delete any data on the partitions. Click the "Drive options" button to see the "Delete" option for partitions. If you delete all of your partitions, you'll need to create a new one before it can be formatted. Select the unallocated space and click "New" to create a new partition. You'll be able to set the size of the partition out of the available free space. Note that you typically cannot create more than four partitions on a single drive. Click the "Format" button after selecting the partition or drive. If you don't see the Format button, click the "Drive options" button to reveal it. You will be warned that the format process will delete all data on the partition. Once you agree, the format will happen automatically. This may take a few moments to complete. Formatting your primary removes the operating system, so you won't be able to use the PC until you install an operating system again. You can proceed with the Windows installation after formatting the drive, or you can install a different operating system such as Linux. To install Windows, follow the rest of the prompts in the setup program after formatting. To install Linux, you'll need Linux installation media. See How to Install Linux for instructions on installing a variety of different Linux versions.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash and condition your hair. Decide on the size of your twists. Prepare your first section. Start twisting your first section. Finish your first twist. Repeat the twisting process on the rest of your hair.

Answer:
Just like with other braiding styles, your hair needs to be well-moisturized and de-tangled prior to starting your 2-strand twists. Wash your hair as per usual, and then use a deep conditioning cream to moisturize it. Your 2 strand twists will be easier to style if they are wet or at least slightly damp, so do not blow dry or air-dry your hair completely before styling. Use a comb to remove any tangles or knots that might be present. There are many options when it comes to braiding your 2-strand twists. The most obvious decision you'll need to make is how large you want your braids to be. You can do 'micro twists,' which use dozens of teeny-tiny braids, or you can do jumbo twists that use 1-inch (2.5 cm) sections or larger of hair. Small twists will last much longer than large twists, but the process is obviously more time-consuming. Decide what size you want based on your personal style and the amount of time you have to work on your hair. Use a rat-tail comb to part a section of hair to your desired size. The section of hair should be a square in shape. Rub a bit of style gel or cream through your hair and mist it with a little water and olive oil to reduce frizz and make it easier to manipulate. Use your comb to brush through this section several times, to make sure that the hair is completely smooth and tangle-free. Split your section of hair into 2 equal strands. Begin winding them tightly away from your head in a rope-like pattern. You'll simply wrap the strands simultaneously around each other to create a twist. To keep it tight, you'll want to pull the twist tight to your scalp as you work. When you near the end of your strand and begin running out of hair to twist, you will need to switch to doing a 1-strand twist to secure the ends. To do this, take the 2 strands and combine them together (there shouldn't be much hair left to do this with). Then, wrap this section around your finger many times, in the same direction you were twisting the 2 strands of hair. This will curl the ends of the hair in the same direction, securing them in place. This method works best if your hair is naturally curly rather than chemically relaxed or permed. Continue working your way across your scalp, creating your 2-strand twists. The process is the exact same for each twist, just make sure that you section off equal amounts of hair so that all your twists are the same size. Section a small piece of hair, comb it, and apply your gel or cream. Split your section into 2 equal strands. Wrap the strands around each other to form a rope-braid. Twist the ends of the 2-strand braid together to secure them and prevent the braid from unravelling.
