Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry your hair. Apply some straightening cream or smoothing cream. Use the right technique when blow-drying your hair. Set your flat iron to the right temperature. Give your hair time to cool down before stepping outside.

Answer: If you can, use a specialized shampoo and conditioner that's meant for smoothing hair and taming frizz. Make sure that you do this well ahead of time, as your hair will need to be perfectly dry before you straighten it. When you towel dry your hair, don't rub the towel vigorously across your hair; this will only bring out your hair's natural curl and give you more work. Instead, gently pat and squeeze your hair dry with an absorbent towel, preferably microfiber. Microfiber towels are much gentler on the hair because they don't rip or tear your hair, like regular towels can. Ripped, torn hair can look frizzy. If you don't own a microfiber towel, use a t-shirt to dry your hair. It will provide similar results. A heat protectant of sorts would also be a great idea. Apply the cream throughout your hair, focusing on the ends, which tend to get dry/damaged the most. If you have thin hair or short hair, you will probably only need a dime-sized amount. If you have thick hair or long hair, start with a quarter-sized amount. Don't apply too much! Doing so will weigh down your hair and cause it to become limp once dry. Always point the nozzle downwards towards your hair; this will help the cuticles on your hair to lie flat. Pull a round, bristle brush through your hair as you blow dry it. This will help straighten it and give you less work later on. Before you dry your hair, divide it into sections that are about the size of your brush. Don't keep the hair dryer pointed at 1 section of hair for more than a second at a time. Keep it moving while you dry your hair. Consider switching between the hair dryer's hot and cold settings to give your hair a break from all that heat. You can shake the hairdryer to help your hair dry faster, but always keep the nozzle pointed down. Never flat iron your hair while it is wet. Doing so can damage your hair. Always blow dry it first (or let it air dry). Even with a heat protectant, high temperatures can damage your hairand damaged hair often looks frizzy. Don't use the highest setting; instead, set the temperature somewhere between 300 and 350F (150 and 177C). If you have thicker hair, you can use a higher temperature, but using a gold or titanium plated flat iron would be better. Avoid going past 420F (215C), as this is when the keratin in your hair breaks down, which can lead to split ends and damage; remember, damaged hair often looks frizzy. Some research has shown that the ideal temperature for straightening hair is 365F (185C). This is especially important if it is very hot or humid out. As your hair cools, the style will begin to set. If you rush out too soon, your hair will be more likely to frizz up again. As an alternative, you can put your hair dryer on the "cool" setting and set your style that way. Just lightly blow cool air onto your hair. This will close your cuticle.

Answer: r day. To ensure you smell the best you can, you should shower or bathe every day or every other day. This will get rid of any odors that have built up on your skin or hair over the last 24 to 48 hours. Use warm, rather than hot, water, and try and keep your shower under 15 minutes in order to conserve water. Wash your entire body with soap and a washcloth. Pay special attention to the area behind your ears, the back of your neck, your feet, and sweaty spots such as your armpits and your inner thighs. Don't forget to wash your chest, genitals, and backside as well. If you have sensitive skin, avoid soaps with heavy perfumes or antibacterial ingredients. Don't use a loofahthey breed bacteria! Use a washcloth or even your hands, instead. air regularly. It's important to wash your hair regularly as it absorbs scents from the atmosphere around you. Massage shampoo into your scalp to remove unpleasant smells and dust. Thoroughly rinse your hair with clean water. If desired, apply a conditioner to your hair and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it out with cool water. If you have dry hair, don't wash it more than every other day. Don't wash your hair too often, or else the oils in your hair will be removed. Twice a week is enough. twice a day. To keep your breath smelling fresh, brush your teeth in the morning and at night every single day. Put a small amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush and brush your teeth with short vertical or circular motions. Be sure to clean every side of each tooth as well as your gums and tongue. Spend at least 2 minutes brushing each time. Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months to keep bacteria from building up and to prevent damage to your gums from worn bristles. Don't forget to floss your teeth every day as well! Though it may seem counterintuitive, you should actually apply your deodorant or antiperspirant at night, rather than in the morning. This gives the ingredients time to soak into the skin and prevent your glands from producing foul-smelling odors and sweat. You can even shower in the morning without worrying about the effectiveness of your deodorantit's already been absorbed!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Deal with conflicts in a calm, balanced manner. Encourage and praise your teen for positive behaviors. Encourage your teen to socialize. Join a support group.

Answer:
It is not always easy, but if you want to build a healthy relationship with your child you need to be accepting of them and deal with any conflicts in a calm, balanced way. Try to listen to your teen and be open to their worries and concerns - the last thing you want is for them to shut you out completely. For instance, if you find out that your teen has been skipping school, shouting at them and punishing them will do nothing but decrease the quality of your relationship, as the natural human reaction to being yelled at is to yell back or simply pull away. So, instead of reacting in such a negative way, you could ask your teen to go for a walk and then, when it is just the two of you in a calm and serene setting, you can talk things over. Avoid asking questions that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" and try to ask questions that require a deeper level of communication. On the other hand, when your teens do something positive, do your best to encourage them and let them know how proud you are. For instance, if your teen decides to do volunteer work or gets a good grade at school, remember to praise them for it. You may think that your child knows how you feel, but they still need to actually hear it from you this significantly reduces anxiety levels by helping your teen understand that you really love and care for them. Remember that teenagers need praise and appreciation even though at this age they are striving to achieve independence, you are still a huge part of their lives and if you don't accept them for who they are, neither will they. Even though teens will seldom admit it, parents are still role-models and people whom they look up to, so it is up to you to fulfill that role. Isolation can make mood disorders in teenagers worse, as feelings of loneliness are amplified. Therefore, you should encourage your teen to hang out with friends, meet new people and engage in social activities and groups. Offer to bring your teen and their friends somewhere fun, like the cinema, the bowling alley or to see some live music. This way, you teen can have a fun night and you can keep an eye on them to see how they interact as part of a group. You should also encourage your teen to join a sports team or an after-school club - somewhere they can feel part of a community This will keep them out of the house and distract them from their problems. Dealing with a teen who suffers from a mood disorder can be emotionally draining. However, it's important that you don't allow it to take over your life. Consider joining a support group for families of troubled teens - these people will understand what you're going through and will be able to offer advice and support. It's completely normal to experience feelings of frustration, anger, sadness and helplessness. Talking about these issues with someone you trust, such as a close family member or friend can be very helpful. You could even consider seeing a therapist yourself if you feel like it's all getting too much. This may even help you to understand your child better and get a better idea of what they're going through.
