If you live in a relatively humid environment, hair styling in the summer months can be a challenge. Extreme humidity makes hair unruly, flat, and difficult to deal with. Even mild humidity can make your hair oily, sticky, and unsightly.

While it is true that you can’t control the weather, there are a few things you can do to make your hair look good even on days when the humidity level is through the roof. Here are some tips you can follow to mitigate the negative impact of humidity on your hair.

1. Use an Herbal Hair Rinse Solution

Herbal tonics or rinses help restore a fresh feeling back to the hair and scalp, and you can make a hair rinse at home from ingredients you may already have in your kitchen cabinets. A hair rinse can be made from herbs like chamomile, rosemary, thyme, and similar ingredients. If you can’t find these ingredients, you could also use an herbal tea as a hair rinsing alternative.

2. Use Anti-Frizz and/or Humidity-Resistant Hair Products

Humidity-resistant properties can help increase the potency and effectiveness of most hair products, especially during extremely humid days. This, along with the regular application of an anti-frizz product, will help ensure that your hair will still look polished and groomed even if you stay outside for a long period of time.

3. Use Shampoo Containing Eucalyptus or Tea Tree Oil

As you know, humid weather can make your hair look sticky, so try a shampoo with refreshing ingredients like tea tree oil, which helps remove excess oil that can weigh your hair down. As an added bonus, you will find that these types of shampoos have an effect similar to aromatherapy, so you’ll feel relaxed when you are done.

4. Keep Your Hair Longer

Longer hair can be tied in a bun or chignon, or a perhaps a ponytail, to keep it up off your shoulders, which will allow air flow around the base of your hair. This will help keep your hair cooler and dryer, which in turn will help fight off the negative impact of humidity. Plus, let’s face it; a short hairstyle is hard to maintain on humid days. With longer hair you at least have more options for covering up the damage!

5. Use a Wide Tooth Comb

I know it sounds silly, but using a wide tooth comb when you style your hair helps deal with the tangles caused by humid weather. Tangles are a common occurrence in humidity, and using a wide tooth comb instead of a more traditional hairbrush is gentler and more effective in smoothing out the tangles. Plus, it won’t hurt as much!

Summary

Humidity is clearly not good for your hair, but there are things you can do to reduce or even eliminate its impact. Use anti-frizz and humidity-resistant products, keep your hair up and off your shoulders, use shampoos with tea tree oil, utilize a hair rinse, and use a wide tooth comb. Follow these tips and your hair will stay beautiful and elegant no matter how sticky it gets outside!

To me it has seemed Sears is an integral parts of American history. The evolution of Sears from mail order catalogs to little rural outposts to mega-mall anchor stores grew and developed with the desire and the urbanization of American cities. Kenmore as a brand has always been a part of Sears retail stores and the history of Kenmore has matched the speed and technological innovation of urban growth. I have never thought of Kenmore as a great product but it has always been a useful product with up-to-date features and benefits at a low price. Making innovative technology available (whether in bbq grills, dish-washers, irons or clothes washers) at a realistic price has always been the superficial impression of both Sears and Kenmore for me.

In the world of home appliances, Kenmore has become one of America’s favorites. In fact, almost 33% of all American homes contain at least one Kenmore appliance! Since Kenmore’s first appliance emerged in 1927, the Sears brand has continually added to its lines of appliances, which today includes quality barbecue grills. After purchasing a Kenmore grill, you may need to buy replacement parts and Kenmore BBQ grill replacement parts are not always easy to find at the local Sears retailer.

Many of the commonly known branding that we have become familiar with over the years have become too big to remain manufacturers. The philosophical style, design and levels of quality are maintained while actual manufacturing gets sub-contracted out to smaller more able factories. This business model exists across product lines and it makes replacement parts difficult to find because the manufacturer is not always manufacturing the items needed to repair the grill, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.

For many barbecue enthusiasts, convenience is the most important feature when choosing a barbecue grill. If that describes your priorities, then consider a barbecue grill that’s constructed of stainless steel. While such Kenmore grills may have a higher price tag than the imported box store models (and replacement parts), they definitely provide some practical benefits. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, staining, and rusting. You’ll probably want your barbecue grill to last for several years, and many people believe one way to achieve that goal is to buy a Kenmore grill that’s made of stainless steel. However, the brightly colored Kenmore grills also last because they are coated with porcelain and sealed. Not only is this material built-to-last, but it’s also easier to clean.

Side burners are effective when you need to do some secondary cooking aside from grilling. These burners can be located on the side or back section of the barbecue grill, they have the same function. Yes, if you choose Kenmore barbecue grills with burners, then you’ll potentially have extra spare parts to secure. On the other hand, the burners will add variety to your barbecue grill cooking, allowing you to do multiple types of cooking while using a single appliance. I find that many homeowners rarely use a side burner. However, here in Florida if a hurricane comes through a side burner is worth more than gold when the electric goes out.

One of the latest technologies for burners is the infrared sear zone. This technology provides an optimum amount of direct heat for searing steaks and locking-in moisture. Infrared burners are fairly new to barbecue grills, but they can definitely make cooking with your grill more effective.

An electric ignition is crucial if you want to limit the number of hassles that you encounter when firing up your barbecue grill. It can be somewhat embarrassing when you have guests and you’re unable to use your grill because it won’t start. While the parts needed for the electronic ignition are more complex than the standard variety, this feature is certainly worthwhile. With the touch of a button you can start grilling away!

Kenmore barbeque models have varying grill parts including different materials used for the cooking grates. Of all the grill parts cleaned and maintained the cooking grid gets the most attention. If your grill’s grid is porcelain coated, then you may need to replace it soon after buying the grill. As porcelain gets cleaned and scraped the coating will wear away and the steel within will begin to rust. Look for cooking grates that are sturdy, and resistant to rust and stains. Stainless steel grids are certainly the best ones that you can choose although many grillers choose cast iron for its heat conducting properties. Buying a barbecue grill with an inferior grid isn’t worth the money you’d save. After factoring in the hassles of cleaning or replacing the grid, you’ll realize that such grids simply aren’t worthwhile. No one likes the crunchy taste of rust.

“H” burners are the most common type found on Kenmore gas barbecue grills at Sears. As you might guess, they resemble the letter “H” (that’s lying on its side). The oval-shaped burner is another common type found on Kenmore’s grills. Meanwhile, more intricate shapes include “bar”, “figure 8” and “bowtie” burners. Another type of burner has an individual burner for individual controls on the grill. These are referred to as “tube”, “rail”, or “pipe” burners. These burners tend to be straight since they only heat a single section of the barbecue grill. Burners are generally stainless steel, aluminized steel or cast iron and have the same strengths and weaknesses of these materials on cooking grates. Keep the ports clean and they will provide an even heat.

The infrared burner is more intricate than one found on a traditional barbecue grill. Due to the more complex mechanisms, the cost of replacement parts will also be higher. But if you want your grill to heat hotter it’s a wise choice. When you need extremely hot temperatures, the infrared burners are your best bet. If you need a wider range of cooking temperatures, then a traditional burner would be ideal for you as a hybrid with a sear zone and a convectional barbeque area. Infrared burners pressurize the gas to pull more heat from the same gas consumption. It produces an ideal type of heat for cooking.

For over 80 years, Kenmore has been producing quality appliances, including barbecue grills. Remember that the Kenmore grill that you choose will impact which replacement parts you may need in the future.

A strong immune system can make A man seem ‘strangely compelling/

The X-Philes

Our evolutionary roles have equipped us with the biological skills and senses we need for survival. What is often called witchcraft, supernatural power and women’s intuition has been scientifically tested and measured since the 1980s and, for the most part, comes down to a woman’s superiority in all the perceptive senses. Most witches were women who were put to death by men who could not understand the biological differences. Women are simply better at picking up the small nuances in body language, vocal cues, tone of voice and other sensory stimuli. They can also read attitudes and emotions in animals. This allowed ancient women to determine whether or not an animal approaching her nest was dangerous or friendly. A woman can even tell if a dog is feeling embarrassed or if a horse is about to kick. Most men cannot imagine what an embarrassed dog looks like. Women counsel cats. When women are not looking, men kick cats.

These days styles are much different than from what they used to be and this includes more than just clothing styles. Cars and other vehicles are styled much more differently than when they were first made, furniture is much more contemporary today, homes much more smaller and with less elaborate features these days, and colors are brighter and used considerably more commonly in homes than they were back in the day. Kitchens in particular have significantly changed when it comes to colors. It used to be that common kitchen colors were pale pastels such as yellow, green, or peach but these days individuals all over are gong bolder wit their kitchen colors. These days you can find beautiful kitchens in darker neutral tones, and bold primary colors that really make a room stand out. These days it is even common to see more than one such color in a kitchen. Much of this change is likely due to the high status kitchens generally have in the home. Many individuals meet at the end of the day in the kitchens of their homes and many more use their kitchens for their main room for entertainment as well which is why there has been such a large increase in an effort to make the kitchen more comfortable by making it more pleasing to the eye. There are five kitchen colors in particular that seem to be popular these days so if you are looking for a change one of these may be the right color for you.

White – White is a kitchen color that has always been popular and continues to stay high on the list of choices for kitchen colors today. Many contemporary style kitchens incorporate a lot of white in their designs. White kitchens go particularly well with stainless steel appliances and black cupboards but different combinations are common as white goes with anything.

Black – Black kitchens are also common these days especially in contemporary homes. As with white stainless steel is also an excellent compliment to black as well. Deep red toned cupboards go great with black walls but any color combination is possible and people tend to get very creative when it comes to their kitchens.

Deep Reds – Darker, deeper reds are an extremely popular choice for kitchens today and many daring home owners are going bold by including red in their designs. Red is said to increase the appetite which is one reason so many people choose red but it also gives off a very warm feeling as well.

Beige – Beige is another one of those colors that has always been popular for kitchens and always will be in all likelihood. This color gives a sense of nature inside the home and works great if you have a lot of windows in your kitchen. Beige leaves a lot of room for change as well.

Gray – The color gray is another common choice for kitchens too. Not so much your traditional gray but more of a bluish gray. Many people choose to pair this color with stainless steel accents but any color will do with this versatile color.

Times change and so do styles so don’t be left behind with an outdated kitchen. Choose one of these great contemporary colors and you will find out what it really means to enjoy your kitchen.

Want more new clients? Then this is a must read for you!!

Now, you can spend less time advertising and marketing, and get all the new customers you ever wanted with little to no effort on your part. Just do what you do the best, and the rest will follow. They will most likely love your service and gladly tell others about it.

Referrals can have a huge impact on your business. In fact, here is an excellent example on how to quantify the big impact that it will have. For instance, you have a hair salon business where an average haircut is $45. This might not seem like a big transaction to most people, but the amount of impact it will have when it comes to referrals and the bottom line is really, really big.

If you are a salon owner and you have a client who comes in six times a year for a haircut, pays $45 for it, spends an additional $300 per year for other services and products, that is $2,850 in five years, which is the average length that a customer stays with the same salon.

If the client is extremely happy with this hair salon and tells just four of their friends and neighbors about it, and let s be conservative and say that only 25% of those told decide to try it out, that is just one referral. Then the hair salon earned $2,850 more. Combine the original client and the referral client, and you have already made the salon $5,700. This is just because of one extremely satisfied and happy client. Of course we still have to subtract the cost of goods and the marketing expenses, but the lifetime value will be extremely substantial and beneficial.

Let me also share this tidbit: it might not, after all, be as little as you think. Did you know that a client that has been referred as a new client is up to FOUR times as likely to refer new clients AGAIN, since it is the exact same way they were introduced into this business? Now, think about what that impact would have on the bottom line HUGE! And it continues as long as they are satisfied.

Just imagine if those 25% becomes 50% or 75%. A happy client might not just tell it to four friends, it could be 10 or 12, or even more. The number of returning and referred clients can be greater. This is highly possible and easily attainable when you have a structured and organized referral program established for your business.

I hope that given these numbers, this stresses to you the significance of referrals to any business, and start a formal referral program for your business. Consider using these figures to convey to any staff you might employ the importance of satisfying your clients in every aspect so that you can differentiate your business from theirs . Remember, a dissatisfied client can influence far more potential clients to decide not to do business with you as well. One happy client and a single referral can earn you $5,700.

That is why the hair salon should train each and every one of their employees to treat that particular $45 client as if they were wearing a $5,700 price tag around their neck, conservatively.

It is critical that you start a referral program right away if you are not currently following a system that you and your staff are using every day with every customer.

PS. Think about it this way: each day, as clients visit your business, you must have a system in place to empower them to refer new clients to you. This is KEY for your business’ success.

Having kids means that there will be disasters to your upholstery, carpets, walls and furniture. It just goes with the territory. Chewing gum on new tile floor, crayon on the freshly painted walls, and who KNOWS what that tacky black stuff on the sofa cushion is. The only thing youre sure of is it isnt supposed to be there.

Welcome to the wonderful world of sticky kid stuff. If you found us because you were searching for how to remove gum techniques, or how to remove crayon from furniture, then youre in luck. Weve got a handful of tricks to help you get gum, crayon, tar and oh, I know what that is on the sofa cushion! Melted Gummi worms! Right if youve got kids like mine, Ive got some helpful household hints that can help save your furniture and your sanity.

Youre supposed to keep the gum IN your mouth!

If I had a nickel for every time Ive said that, I could just replace the carpets, bedspreads and furniture that wasnt me! smeared with chewing gum. Heres how to get chewing gum (and most other sticky stuff) out of just about anything.

-Getting Chewing Gum Out of Hair

There are three things to try before resorting to the scissors and all three are relatively painless.

The Peanut Butter Method: Rub a glob of peanut butter into the hair around the gum. Keep massaging it between your fingers. The oil in the peanut butter will help loosen the gu so you can pick it free.

The Ice Cube Trick: Rub an ice cube against the gum so that it gets hard and losses its tackiness. Again, you should be able to pick the hair free once the gum is hard.

The Citrus Remover: The oils in citrus fruits are a natural solvent. Use orange peels or lemon peels. Rub them against the gum to get it loosened up so you can pick it out of the hair.

Picking the Gum Out: Dont try to pull the gum out of the hair pull the hair out of the gum. Youll find that if you work on a few strands at a time, it will hurt a lot less than if you try to yank the gum out of the hair.

– Getting Sticky Stuff Off Of Clothing

Any of the above methods will work on clothes too but the citrus and the peanut butter are likely to stain. One neat trick is to put the gum-enhanced article of clothing in a plastic bag and stick it in the freezer. Once the gum is hard, you can bend the cloth and practically peel it off. Treat anything that remains with a stain remover thats meant to get out the tough stains .

– Getting Gum and Jelly Beans and Marshmallows Off the Upholstery or Carpet

Obviously, you cant toss your couch into the freezer to get that gum out. If your kids have managed to get sticky stuff in your carpets or upholstery, your first step is to try with an ice cube. Rub the ice cube on the blob till its hard, then try scraping it away with a dull knife. Hit anything thats left with a spritz of a citrus based gum removing spray.

– Or spray it with a shot of Freeze It, which is specially designed for removing gum, candle wax and other sticky stuff from your furniture and walls.

– Removing Crayon from Furniture and Walls

– Gums not the only thing the little critters smear on the furniture and walls. If your little Rembrandts leave their marks on furniture, floors and walls, a good citrus based solvent will power it off without damaging the fabric or wood.
