Before starting the process use a conditioner.\r\rYou can use a toothbrush or any comb that aids in this process of covering up the foil with your normal hair strands. Using a nozzle will also help in doing this job properly and quickly too. Once you're done applying all of them, let it sit for around 30 minutes until the whole mixture dries up and then wash your hair using shampoo just before a blow dry. Conditioner is not needed after shampoo but make sure you do it before using dye because leftover conditioner might spoil the effect of dye on your hair. Interested in becoming a hairdresser?

They can also prove to be a great place to attach a strip light too. \r\rWhen exposed to wind, they can be unpredictable though as they can roll into your car or smack your van on its side with serious force if not secured properly to the rack or bars with bolts. If you don't have a roof rack attached onto your vehicle but no awning available yet, you should consider the following steps to avoid this from happening.\r\rIn order to mount your awning without a roof rack, you will need to determine how far does the roof line and mounting points extend from the centre of the awning brackets as well as how much lift your vehicle's wind profile provides. \r\rWith this information, you are able to figure out the maximum length of strap that is required in order to minimise any excessive slack that could lead to damage and your vehicle can still fit inside your garage.\r\rMany people that own vehicles without a roof rack choose to mount their awning bracket to the spare tire carrier. This may cause some trouble for those with pop-up or swing away carriers as these hang significantly lower than standard bolt-on units. \r\rHowever, it may also be difficult to suit those who have mounted their spare tire up high on their tailgate door. A piece of plywood can solve this problem by providing a place for your straps to rest on as well as additional support and stabilisation by distributing the weight across its surface more evenly. \r\rIf you plan on strapping down both sides of your awning arms at the same time, you may find it to be more suitable to mount the plywood slightly above the tie-down points to account for any variance in your vehicle's profile.\r\rSome may choose mounting their awning along the edge or side walls of their car or truck near the back doors instead of roof racks. While this provides an excellent location for those who need quick and easy access to their awning, those with swing-away carriers should not try this as it could potentially hit your carrier and bend/break its hinges. \r\rThose with pop up carriers can use similar support braces as mentioned earlier, but they will need to be careful that straps do not interfere with any mechanisms on their arms that would cause them not to deploy properly. You also have to take into consideration that when you open your rear door, the strap is going to go right into it and can cause damage when closing.\r\rAs a final step, keep in mind that no matter what method you use to mount your awning, from roof racks and back doors, it must be strong enough to hold its weight - this means any mounting brackets or straps will require a vehicle-specific approach because all vehicles offer a different set of options in which to anchor yourself down. \r\rIt's important to note that when using ratchet straps for securing your awning, they should never be used alone. Larger models come with built-in hooks at their ends which enable them to connect together by simply slipping one inside the other. This gives you a secure connection with fewer bolts and less overall strap length required to hold your awning down, which would suit best if you are using straps that do not have hooks on them as they would slip right through your ratchet's hook. \r\rAdditionally, it is recommended to use a kayak stacker bar with a standard 2\" strap around it for extra stability and holding power - this can be found at any camping store. Also, you can attach insulating foam or fibreglass to your awnings in order to increase the overall insulation.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you attach awnings to roof rails?","text":"Roof rails can prove to be a great awning alternative to roof racks as every standard set of roof bars will have metal clasps on them to which you can attach your awning poles. \r\rWhen mounting the arms to the bars with bolts and washers, it's recommended to use two per side up top with at least one more on each side near the bottom so that you are able to drive away without feeling any discomfort in your awning shifting around due to wind. \r\rThis is likely required for larger-sized models as they can reach upwards of 9ft when completely extended and require three or more arms in order to maintain proper stability. \r\rYou also need to take into consideration where exactly you are planning on attaching these arms. They cannot obstruct your car's rear hatch door from opening/closing properly, otherwise, they might end up getting damaged when you close your door. In addition, they must not interfere with any brake lights that may be installed in the rear window of your van. \r\rNo matter what type of awning you purchase, most awnings come with instructional guidelines for proper installation, so make sure to read them carefully and keep them for future reference in case you ever need to move or remove your awning from its mounts in the future. Make sure you store your awning correctly, otherwise you might have to clean off mould.\r\rAdditionally, investing in a good mounting kit with important accessories and tools can also make the overall job easier and more cost effective.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you mount an awning to a canopy?","text":"If your van doesn't have a roof rack, all awnings can also be attached to an existing canopy tent, but it will need to have compatible hardware in order for the mounting arms to connect properly. \r\rIf you are installing your awning brackets on top of an already installed canopy instead of a roof rack, it will likely suit best to purchase an extra set of support poles that attach underneath the arms themselves - this may not always be necessary depending on how sturdy and well bolted your canopy is or how much weight your specific model's armature has been designed to handle. \r\rIn some cases, it might be necessary to have your canopy's legs removed and replaced with a stronger design and position that can better support the weight of an awning. \r\rIf you are planning on installing an awning bracket onto a stand-alone or new canopy tent, you will need to ensure that the canopy itself has compatible hardware.

It is usually made with wire and looks like a loose blanket. To use reinforcement mesh, you simply place it over your wood forms and fill the area underneath with concrete. After curing and the concrete slab has set, you remove the wooden supports from the concrete slabs and voila! For ordinary concrete slab work like residential projects, a single layer of mesh sheet is adequate.\r\rYou have a durable concrete structure without having to deal with wooden stakes, which may rot or become brittle in time under pressure. Mesh blankets are typically made from #14 gauge steel wire but will vary between manufacturers, so always read your product's technical specifications before choosing which one is best for you.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Is wire mesh necessary in a concrete driveway?","text":"No, it is unnecessary to use wire mesh when laying down a concrete driveway, but it can be helpful and, in some cases, mandated by the building codes in your area. This is because when you pour layers of concrete, if they are too thin, then the slab could crack or crumble over time especially for driveways that handle a lot of traffic and are not maintained.\r\rAdding rebar or reinforcing rods can strengthen your structure and prevent this from occurring - much like adding steel bars inside a wall so that it doesn't collapse under pressure. The mesh reinforcement works by making sure all parts of your concrete slab will bear quite an amount of weight without giving way at any single point.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What does F72 mesh mean?","text":"F72 is simply the designation of the wire mesh.

Mesh comes in different sizes, but the #5 rebar (5/8\" in diameter) fits nicely underneath it for increased sturdiness and resistance against earthquakes and other pressure.\r\rWhen using F72, you typically want to pour your concrete at around 4 inches thick because it will compress slightly over time once there is weight on top of it. You may wish to leave some openings so that water can escape if you live somewhere with harsh weather, but otherwise, this should do just fine for normal construction purposes.

Another thing to note is that steel mesh and bars if left exposed, rust. During construction, proper pouring of concrete seals them off, which prevents rusting.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"concrete-formwork\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"99286CD0-C252-714F-ADC3-F2449E205BF9","articleTitle":"What Size Steel Mesh for a Concrete Slab?","urlSlug":"/guides/concrete-formwork/what-size-steel-mesh-for-a-concrete-slab","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/concreting/mesh-on-slab.jpg","wordCount":1199}}],"categories":null},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5709089\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"6039786\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"9849153\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"7407370\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5708697\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"8472788\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5878646\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"7324342\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5059900\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"9865358\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"8746818\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5708814\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"searchSuggestSuburbs({\"params\":{\"keyword\":\"wattlebank\",\"state\":\"qld\"}})":{"data":[{"id":11876,"suburbName":"Wattlebank","postcode":"4704","state":"QLD","publication":"Rockhampton","region":"Central QLD","market":"Rockhampton","latitude":"-23.119953","longitude":"150.462544","canonical":"Wattlebank,QLD","urlSlug":"wattlebank-qld"}]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"5774971\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"reviewAssets({\"first\":50,\"listingId\":\"10059728\",\"reviewState\":\"approved\"})":{"__typename":"ReviewAssetConnection","edges":[]},"searchSuggestSuburbs({\"params\":{\"keyword\":\"combara\",\"state\":\"nsw\"}})":{"data":[{"id":18776,"suburbName":"Combara","postcode":"2829","state":"NSW","publication":"Dubbo","region":"Central NSW","market":"Dubbo","latitude":"-31.1154067","longitude":"148.3766187","canonical":"Combara,NSW","urlSlug":"combara-nsw"},{"id":11456,"suburbName":"Comara","postcode":"2440","state":"NSW","publication":"Port Macquarie","region":"North Coast NSW","market":"Port Macquarie","latitude":"-30.7739007","longitude":"152.3733381","canonical":"Comara,NSW","urlSlug":"comara-nsw"}]},"localsearchCMSArticle({\"articleTitle\":\"cooktop-installation-costs\",\"categoryName\":\"electricians\",\"size\":1})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleTitle":"Cooktop Installation Costs","articleBlurb":"Cooktop installation can be done in two ways: flush with the counter or raised slightly above it.
