Problem: Article: Start brushing at the ends and slowly work your way up to the roots.  You can apply a leave-in conditioner or dry conditioner before brushing to stop tangles from forming while brushing. You will temporarily stand upside down so that you can brush the underside of your hair at the back of your neck. Brush your hair forward over the crown of your head and down to the tips, toward the floor.  Move all along the back of your neck and up to the sides of your head, beside your ears. You can also move sections of hair to brush hard-to-reach layers. Brush for 3-5 minutes. Avoid getting dizzy by standing back up slowly so that your body has time to adjust. Again, brush for another 3-5 minutes, moving all around the top of your head.  Brush in slow, gentle strokes to avoid hair breakage and to stimulate the scalp. Part your hair to brush in different sections as needed. Brushing your hair with a natural boar bristle brush can be done up to three times per day, but doing it at least once daily is recommended.
Summary: Brush out your hair to detangle it. Bend at the waist to flip your head upside down. Brush your hair in long, gentle strokes starting at the base of your neck. Straighten slowly to stand upright again. Repeat brushing your hair as you did before, starting at the roots and brushing downward to the tips. Repeat up to three times per day.

Problem: Article: Several inspections and permits are required for most residential construction projects, especially when it involves electrical work. To make sure you're up to code, you may need to schedule a temporary service inspection, a rough-in inspection, and a final inspection. This needs to be done whether you're doing it yourself or hiring an electrician.  Depending on where you live, you may be able to do the inspection yourself if you live in a single-family home. The National Electrical Code requires all GFCIs within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the floor to be tamper-resistant and clearly marked. Outdoor GFCIs must also be weather resistant and clearly marked with the letters "WR," even if it has a weather cover. In some areas, you may need a GFCI due to nearby water fixtures. Check your local wiring codes to see if a three-prong GFCI is an acceptable replacement for a non-grounded two-prong receptacle. There are acceptable installation procedures for a non-grounded GFCI, usually involving putting a sticker on the receptacle cover stating "No Equipment Ground."  The GFCI does not, itself, require any ground connection for proper operation. If your home was wired "to code" initially, there is generally no legal requirement to upgrade to grounded outlets or GFCI (or even AFCI) outlets unless other work is being done that exposes the wiring. Insurance or other safety concerns may, however, outweigh meeting only the minimum code requirements. A circuit tester plugs into the receptacle and has several light combinations to indicate the different problems a receptacle may have. If you're going to ground a receptacle, it's an important tool to have. You can purchase these at any home repair store.  One model has a button to test GFCI receptacles by shutting off the outlet if it detects any excess current.  It's a little more money but a better buy to verify the GFCI is also grounded. Plug the circuit tester into each receptacle and look at the indicator lights. If the lights indicate the receptacle is not grounded properly, mark the cover with a piece of masking tape. Move on to the next receptacle.  Most such testers are designed with three prongs: hot, neutral and ground. If your receptacle has only two prongs, use a multimeter to check the voltage between the hot port on the receptacle and the metal outlet box. If it reads around 120 V, then the box is grounded. If you don’t get a voltage reading, then the box isn’t grounded. Make sure your circuit tester is working before you start by plugging it into a receptacle that you know works. Do not try to fix more than one receptacle at a time. Unless you are sure of your work, it's better to check them one at a time. This may involve turning the electrical circuit breaker on and off many times while you work. Either turn off the circuit breaker that controls the receptacles to the specific room or turn off the main switch for the whole house. If you only turn off the breaker, retest the receptacle with the circuit tester to ensure it's the correct one.  Some "circuit identifier" devices automatically confirm you have switched off the proper circuit because the "tone" unit plugged into the receptacle stops signaling when its circuit is off. Be aware that some duplex (double) receptacles may be internally "split" so that one part is switched separately from the other, such as for floor lamps. You may find a receptacle is still "hot" in one and not in the other if the switch is off but the breaker is still on.  You should test BOTH outlets of a duplex receptacle unless you already know how it's wired, i.e., after you open the box and pull it out. For the most part, cover plates will be attached with flathead screws, which means you should be able to easily remove them with a small, flathead screwdriver. If paint or wallpaper is in the way slightly, you might need to carefully cut around the receptacle with a utility knife to keep the wallpaper from tearing and making the wall look raggedy.
Summary: Check your local electrical codes and schedule inspections. Purchase a circuit tester at a local home repair store. Test the receptacles in your home. Turn off the power at the main electrical box. Remove the cover plate of the receptacle.

Problem: Article: Arrange a small cup or dish for each color of acrylic paint. Use an eyedropper or paintbrush to transfer a drop of paint to the liquid starch (or a small, separate test dish of starch left until still). Most brands and colors will sink, in which case you should add marbling gall to that container of paint. Vegetable oil is a cheap substitute, but may leave your paper a little greasy. Stir in one drop at a time, testing in between, until a drop of paint float on the surface and spreads out slowly. Stir in more if the drop rapidly spreads to more than 3 inches (7.5 cm).  Old-fashioned ox gall will not work with acrylic paints. Use a detergent-based marbling gall that does not contain animal products. This is also sold as surfactant or dispersant. Test each color separately, and test before each marbling session. Changes in temperature and humidity can change the amount of gall required.
Summary:
Mix your paint with gall or oil.
