Answer
Lots of questions...will do my best to answer as many as possible.
Shampoo/Conditioner...L'oreal Vive Pro...Dry/Damaged Hair (the yellow bottles). Remember L'oreal is the parent company of Redken, Matrix and MANY other salon-quality hair care products. The research and ingredients are fantastic considering the price you pay for the "in store brand" versus for the salon products.
Water...40 oz. per day minimum (but don't go crazy...you can overdose, if too much in too short of a time period)
There are many really great deep conditioners on the market right now, i use about 6 different ones. If you go to Sally Beauty Supply you can pick up two products from ApHogee (Two-step protein treatment and the Keratin and Green Tea restructurizer) as well as from Coloresse (Rescue Treatment Mask for Severely Dry and Damaged Hair - light blue package). As far the over-the-counter products Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense, VO5 Hairdressing Conditioner (if using a large amount may require two shampoos), Aussie's Three-Minute Miracle and John Freida's Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Hair Serum are among my favorites. I use most of these about twice per week, some of them together (or back-to-back) or even over-night (weekend preferred) with aluminum foil on my head (don't use heat with the aluminum foil, you can fry your brain). What I have found to be the best homemade hair remedy is a mixture of olive oil and egg; this combo will require several lukewarm rinses (if you use hot water you will have an oily scrambled egg mixture on your head) and a shampoo--it must be rinsed out thoroughly.
Vitamins/Minerals: Biotin, Folic Acid, Prenatal Vitamins (they all have B vitamins which are excellent for hair skin and nails). Also, Vitamin E and Omega 3 Fatty Acids (fish oil, cod liver oil), Flaxseed Oil (capsules) and Flax Oil (one tablespoon daily) these are great for overall health.
Damage from Heat Styling: Proactively, you can use Ceramic Silk Thermal Protection Ironing Cream (from Sally Beauty Supply). I have not found as good a product in stores as this product.
Healthy Foods/Beverages: Keeping much of your diet focused on proteins, vegetables and fruits (whole fruits not juice) seems to be your best bet. Your hair just like every other part of your body is made up of tissue and if your body is not properly nourished, your hair will not look healthy.
Harmful Foods/Beverages: Avoid alcohol, excessive carbohydrates (unless you're a runner or other high-performance athlete).
Other tidbits: Like alcohol, smoking can do a terrible number on your hair and a lack of sleep. When exposing your hair to the elements (wind, cold, sun [UV rays], heat), you must take extra special care. If I expect to be exposed to the elements, I wear hats or scarves over my head. In addition, getting frequent trims will reduce splits ends once you start being gentle with your hair (large combs when combing, use of leave-in conditioners/detanglers, no brushing when wet, etc) it will become healthy in about 6-8 weeks of consistent care.
If you're looking for the most bang for the buck (over the shortest period of time) do mayonnaise every other day for a week (over night with aluminum foil), wash every morning that you have mayo in your hair and purchase products for Dry/Damaged or Color-treated hair and wash with medium warm water before Shampoo and Conditioner (to open the hair shaft) and with luke warm water after condtioner to close hair shaft.
I hope that this information was helpful (and thorough), please feel free to email me with any further questions or to let me know how this worked for you.

What is the importance of the consideration of culture?

What is the importance of the consideration of culture?
Answer
Culture is a central component of cross-culturally competent evaluations, yet rarely is it defined. Evaluators with little or no proï¬ciency in cross-cultural competency tend to use the term interchangeably with race and ethnicity. Consequently, they may ignore the cultures of people of a certain sexual orientation, generation, income level or religion
Culture comes in many forms and shapes that are constantly evolving. One way of thinking about culture is as âan iceberg sticking out of the ocean.â At the tip of the iceberg, visible above sea level, are relatively obvious forms of culture, such as music, dance, food, clothing, language, skin color, celebrations and art. These forms are more easily recognized and understood by someone outside the culture. They produce few misunderstandings between people in and outside the culture.
Right beneath the sea level are less obvious forms of culture, such as religion, history, rituals related to birth and death, social class, concepts of beauty, patterns of superior and subordinate relationships, rites of passage, body language and use of leisure time. These forms may become apparent to the outsider who asks the right questions, listens carefully and pays close attention to non-verbal cues. If misunderstood, negative feelings between people in and outside the culture could result.
Even deeper in the ocean are forms of culture that require extensive inquiry and observation for the outsider to understand, such as the meaning of community, concept of space and time, logic, notions of leadership, patterns of decisionmaking, beliefs about health, help-seeking behavior,notions of individualism versus collectivism, attitudes toward the elderly and approaches to problem-solving. These manifestations of culture are typically learned through modeling, usually at an early age. When the norms are violated, they could seriously harm relationships and cause adverse consequences for the people involved.
