In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for products that advertise as being "smoothing" and frizz-reducing and that contain hydrating ingredients, proteins and nourishing oils. These will give your hair a big moisture boost and encourage your hair to lay flat and look smooth. Check the labels for ingredients like Argan oil, keratin, avocado oil, vitamin E, Moroccan oil and coconut oil. Avoid clarifying shampoos and conditioners, which strip your hair of moisture and result in limp, dull hair. If you are regularly using smoothing and straightening tools and products, use deep conditioning treatments at least once a week to restore your damaged strands. If you dye your hair, choose a straightening shampoo that includes the ingredients sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate. These will help preserve the color. These products are a must for those with dry or frizzy hair, but anyone trying to achieve a sleek look should get a good one. Serums smooth the hair cuticle, add shine, and protect your strands from environmental damage. Look for serums with Argan or Moroccan oil and avoid those that have a high percentage of alcohol in them. Alcohol can be very drying. Use sparingly, especially since people with thin hair will need to use far less serum on their hair than those with thick hair. Blow drying and flat ironing your hair can cause significant heat damage if you aren't using a product to protect it. These products often come in spray bottles and require that you spritz them on before using heated tools on your hair. Sometimes thermal protectants are advertised as "heat activated" products, but they are essentially the same thing they are designed to protect your hair from heat damage. Look for thermal products that will also help to protect against humidity and tame frizzy strands. These products will help set your sleek strands, add shine and prevent frizz. Many of the "shine" finishing sprays on the market contain silicon, which is harmful, so look for versions that are silicon-free. Hairspray with a light hold functions well as a finishing spray, especially if you can't find a silicon-free finishing product.
Summary: Obtain smoothing shampoo and conditioner. Invest in a smoothing serum. Buy a thermal protectant. Buy a finishing spray.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: On many long flights, especially those over eight hours long, you'll likely end up sleeping or taking a nap. A bathroom kit is excellent for just these kinds of situations. This way, you don't have to feel like you have to worry about "dragon breath" after waking up. In your bathroom kit, you'll probably want to at least include a toothbrush, travel sized toothpaste, deodorant, and hand sanitizer. Many kinds of contact lenses can be uncomfortable when sleeping, or can dry out and leave your eyes itchy and blurry. A contact case and solution in your bathroom kit can save you from this! Be sure your solution bottles are within your airline's allowable limits. The air in the cabin of most flights, especially long flights, can be very dry. Some travel sized lotion and lip balm can soothe your dry skin. Eye drops, too, can be a lifesaver after a nap or after your eyes are dried out from cabin air. A few hours of sleep, or better yet, a full eight hours, can cut your long haul flight down to a fraction of what it would otherwise be. Many people, however, have difficulty sleeping in airline seats or ignoring other passengers while trying to sleep. Try to anticipate things that might help you sleep better, like a sleeping mask to block light, a travel pillow, personal blanket, and ear plugs. Some travelers swear by sleep aids to help with drifting off, and if you also plan on trying this approach with over-the-counter or doctor-proscribed sleep aids, you should give the medicine a test run before your flight. Sleep aids affect each person differently, and the last thing you want is to be caught wide-eyed and wakeful when all you want to do is nod off. You may also want to check the features offered on your flight. Many long flights offer amenities like pillows and blankets, though the quality of these may not be as good as what you bring from home. Still, if you find your carry-on luggage full to the brim, using an airline pillow instead can create more space for something fun! Even though long many flights usually provide meal-service, there's no guarantee you'll find the food appetizing or that the amount will be enough to satisfy your hunger for the entire flight. Pack some travel-snacks approved by your airline, like dried fruit, and protein bars. Avoid nuts due to potential allergy issues had by other passengers. You'll also want to bring games, media, and other items necessary for the activities you've brainstormed. Prioritize snacks that you know from experience are kind to your digestion. An upset stomach on a long flight can ruin any enjoyment you might have had. Make sure you pack your chargers and potentially a power pack for charging your devices in flight. Even though many flights now have outlets for your electronic devices, if you plan on using a laptop/tablet, battery powered headphones, and your cell phone, you may find that you don't have enough outlets to charge them all halfway into your flight when your batteries start to die! A power pack can save you in this situation. Technology isn't always reliable, and the last thing you want is to spend a 12-hour flight watching an in-flight movie that you find boring. It's a good idea to bring at least one item that can't malfunction, like a book and/or some paper puzzles (sudoku, crosswords, etc.), along with some paper, a pencil, and a pen. You might be surprised by how the temperature in your cabin changes. At the beginning of your flight, you might feel relatively comfortable, but after getting comfortable and settling in to sleep, you might feel cold. Dress in layers so that you can ensure that you're comfortable no matter how the cabin temperature fluctuates. Prioritize loose fitting, comfortable clothing from your wardrobe. Even if it isn't scarf season, a scarf can be a great asset on a long flight. Scarves take up relatively little space and can be carried around your neck, but when it's cold you can drape your scarf over your arms, legs, or wherever you find warms you best. Scarves can also be used as a pillow in a pinch.
Summary: Consider your basic needs. Prepare in-flight sleep supplies. Assemble your in-flight bag. Determine your in-flight attire.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You don't need to rush in the morning just because you spent half an hour picking out your outfit! Go for something between casual and original. But remember you are making first impressions so what you wear kind of dictates a part of your personality, so don't go far outside your comfort zone. Expectations are overrated. You just got out of elementary school, no need to wear makeup or do anything fancy with your hair. If you're not comfortable with it, don't do it! All these middle school girls you see in magazines have makeup on solely for the advertisements. Going your first day with no makeup is quite the bold move itself, as it shows you have confidence in yourself and that you don't need makeup to attract attention! This will wake you up and make you smell fresh and feel great. (Remember some nice deodorant to top it off.) You do not need to haul your whole home with you. All you really need for your first day really is a few snacks, a pencil or two and the basic supplies. Bringing extra pencils and snacks may be helpful, but not necessary. The higher grades don't bite! If you're feeling daring enough, go and try to make some friends who are older than you, as they have gone through your grade and may be able to give you some pointers. Mingle with some other stranger that may be hanging around too. If you can't find a loner to make friends with, go take a look at a map of the school and try to get the know the place, after all, you're going to be spending a few years here.
Summary:
Pick out your outfit the night before. Avoid feeling that you have to wear makeup. Take a shower in the morning. Take only what you need. Seek help from people already in middle school. Make some friends while you're waiting for school to open.
