INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dry shampoo needs time to absorb the oil at your roots. Before you massage or brush it out, let the shampoo sit in your hair for 5-10 minutes. The longer you wait, the more oil your dry shampoo will absorb.

SUMMARY: Let the shampoo sit for 5-10 minutes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It may be nearly impossible to not take something really stupid personally, especially if it was intended to hurt you. However, if you really want to deal with dumb people the best way possible, then you can't let them get to you and have to learn to let whatever they say roll off your back. If you take it personally and feel hurt, then you're giving them a power they don't need to have. Just remind yourself that these people are dumb, and their opinions shouldn't matter to you. Your self-worth cannot be dictated by the opinions of a person whose intelligence you don't even respect. Just remember that the next time you let a dumb person make you feel small. Trying to be positive and giving the dumb person the benefit of the doubt is another great tactic for not letting a dumb person get to you. Sure, maybe your boss isn't so great at communication; but think about how much good he has done for your company overall. Maybe your second cousin is a ditz when it comes to not revealing your personal information in public; but she's awesome when it comes to making you feel better when you've had a bad day. Remind yourself that most "dumb" people aren't all bad, and they do have some positive qualities, too. This is a great thing to remember if you want to stay sane around dumb people, especially if you're dealing with a person you will have to see a lot, like a classmate or a co-worker. Sure, your co-worker or frenemy might have said something so amazingly stupid that you feel the urge to tell the ten closest people in your circle of friends all about it. You may even want to send a mass email or text about it, going into all of the details of exactly how stupid this person is. But what good will that do? Sure, people will agree with you and agree that the person is stupid, but in the end, that will only make you feel more riled up, angry, frustrated, and annoyed. And worst of all, that will give the stupid person even more power -- if you really know that the person is stupid and annoying, then you wouldn't spend so much time fretting over what he or she said, would you? If the person really upset you, you can discuss it with one close friend, but don't let it become an obsession or let it ruin your day. This may seem impossible in the face of sheer stupidity, but that is precisely why you should be as respectful as possible to a person who is utterly stupid. Treat the person like the Queen of England or the CEO of your company if you have to. Treating the person like a human being who deserves it will let you take the high road -- and will encourage the person to act in a more dignified manner in the future. Resist your first impulse. Sure, you might have thought of the perfect comeback or snappy remark, but remind yourself that it will get you nowhere before you say it. Dealing with stupid people on a regular basis will make you feel even more grateful for all of the calm, rational, and intelligent people that you know. If you're constantly upset by dumb people, then it's likely because you have a very intelligent group of friends and family members and that you have high standards when it comes to the intelligence of others. Instead of being frustrated by the dumb person in front of you, remind yourself that you're lucky to have such a smart significant other, best friend, mother, or circle of friends or colleagues. This will make you more grateful for the positive people in your life, instead of letting those dumb people get the best of you.

SUMMARY: Don't take it personally. Acknowledge their strengths (if they have any). Don't complain about them to other people. Be respectful, whenever possible. Be grateful for all the smart people in your life (including you!).

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Overfeeding can led to a snail population boom. Try underfeeding your aquarium inhabitants (only feeding enough for the fish to eat at each feeding) to see if that solves snail overpopulation. The most common, fish-safe chemical used to kill snails is copper sulfate. If this is used, you need to carefully follow the directions for use given on the bottle to make sure your fish survive the treatment. Most times this will cause a massive snail die-off which may foul your aquarium. If so you will need to spend time removing dead snails and adjusting the water to make sure it remains healthy for your fish and any live plants. Various snail traps are available on-line or through pet stores to trap snails. However, a very simple trap is to place a large piece of lettuce in the aquarium, clip the sturdy stem end to the aquarium's side, and leave it overnight. In the morning, remove the leaf and you will most likely find a large number of snails on the underside. Doing this a few nights in a row may help rid your aquarium of vast numbers of snails. Snails can also be picked out of the aquarium as they are seen. This is most effective when there are smaller number of snails. However, since snails are mainly nocturnal it may not make a dent in the problem. When snails hatch, they are quite small and can climb up the sides of the aquarium. Use a small diameter hose like an air pump hose and start a siphon. Just go along and suck the little ones out. It may need to be done more than once to remove them all, though you can pull out 100 in a couple of minutes. Repeat the process in a few hours. Scavenger fish are good fish to add to the tank to eat snails. For smaller tanks, try Zebra or Dwarf Chain loaches. For larger tanks, Clown Loaches or Pictus Catfish will do the job. Assassin snails will also eat their snail brethren. They don't reproduce as readily, so generally don't become a problem like other snails. Clearly there are various methods to rid your aquarium of these problem pests. Since snails can quickly overwhelm your tank with their sheer numbers, this should be a priority task. You may need to try a couple in order to get rid of the snails inhabiting your tank. If the situation is totally out of hand or you want a 100% resolution you can do a deep clean of the tank. This means each item in the tank from gravel, to decor, to plants are removed, water is drained and every item cleaned and dried before refilling and restocking the tank.

SUMMARY:
Avoid overfeeding. Use a chemical to kill the snails. Place snail traps in the tank. Add snail predators to your tank. Try multiple solutions. Clean everything.
