Prolog: From Colleagues to Lovers

Sequel: Gossip and Glances

Third Installment: Flirting with Risk

The next morning you both woke up together and when you two looked at each other both of you couldn’t help but smile. You both had sweet passionate sex and finally confessed your feelings for one another and you couldn’t be happier. Now that you all had officially confessed and officially became a couple. As you were laying there looking at each other and enjoying the moment the sudden realization of having to go to work you both were like a freight train. You sighed and he looked at you. “Is there something wrong?” He asked as he put a piece of untamed hair behind your ear.

“We have to start getting ready for work.” You said and he nodded but then you remembered that you didn’t have any of your clothing here and that made your face fall, Antonio noticed this.

“What’s up with the frown?” He asked

“I don’t have any of my clothing here or necessities here.” You said and he chuckled.

“I’m sure we can make something work. I also have an extra toothbrush.” He said and then as much as you didn’t want to you both rolled out of bed. It was a good thing you didn’t wear any makeup. As Antonio stood up you looked at his back and giggled and that made him turn around with a raised eyebrow. “What’s so funny?” He asked you.

“I really did a number on your back.” You said and he went into the bathroom and you followed him. He looked into the mirror and shook his head.

“These just show that I made you feel good and I will wear them proudly.” He said turning around and kissing you and then you got your reflection in the mirror and saw the deep bruising on your neck and gasped, you pulled away from him.

“How am I supposed to cover these up?” You asked him and he shook his head and came up behind you wrapping his arms around you.

“Don’t. It shows that you’re mine and only mine.” He said and you shook your head.

“Antonio.” You said in a warning tone and he looked at you.

“One of the girls might have something to cover them up so you don’t get in trouble.” He said and you nodded. You both got ready for work and this included a shower which you could hear him hiss as the water touched the marks going down his back and that just made you smirk. When it came down to clothing you grabbed one of his shirts and made it work and then threw on your jeans and tucked the shirt into it creating a cute and decent outfit if you must say.

You both ate a little bit of something and then you both were on your way to work. You had also opted for one of his hoodies that was just big enough that it was comfortable. The drive to work was a comfortable silence and he held your hand over the center console. When you arrived at the precinct, he parked right next to your car that was still sitting there. Having to grab something from it you both were heading inside afterwards. As you both walked hand in hand into the building, Trudy looked at you with a raised eyebrow. Antonio just smirked and you hang your head smiling and a blush creeping up on you. She didn’t say a word but you could tell she was thinking by the smirk on her face.

 You thought you were in the clear when you didn’t see anyone in the bullpen but you luck had run out when everyone started to filter in from different places one by one. Everyone greeted each other and when Adam went to pat Antonio on the back he hissed and tensed up. Adam, thinking something he did wrong, pulled back and raised his hands “You ok man? It wasn’t that hard of a pat.” He said and Antonio shook his head.

“No, it wasn’t your pat.” He said not wanting to out your relationship quite yet. He said and your face heated up and you wouldn’t look anyone in the eye. “Let’s get to work. Yeah?” He asked as you both scurried away to your desks, thankfully his sweatshirt was covering up your hickeys and they hadn't noticed you wearing his clothing.

It wasn’t a very busy day, just a lot of paperwork that had to be filled out and occasionally everyone would hear Atonio hiss out or grunt in pain and it was concerning a lot of your coworkers. Each time your face would become beat red and you would bury your head into you work. It was starting to get a little warm so you took his hoodie off without thinking and then you heard a gasp and you looked up at Kevin. “Did you get in a fight with an octopus?” He asked and that had everyone coming over to look at you, especially the girls.

“No, Kevin. I just had a very fun eventful night.” You said and then Erin spoke up.

“I bet you did with your neck looking like that. Is that Antonio’s shirt?” She asked and you looked down.

“Is it?” You asked and then Jay was coming over to inspect it.

“That is totally his shirt.” Jay said and you were quiet and so was Antonio. He sat back into his chair and let out a painful hiss and everyone looked at him and they were slowly putting the dots together.

“Wait….” Kim said and everyone looked up at her “Did you two finally confess and sleep together?” She asked and you both kept quiet. You looked at him and they caught that.

“OMG! You did!” Erin said loud enough for everyone in the building to hear.

“Shhhhhhh.” You and Antonio said at the same time. “Keep your voice down.” You both said at the same time again.

“Oh, you’re going to tell us more while Erin and I help you cover this up before Hank sees.” Kim said and grabbed your hand and you 3 girls headed into the locker room. You and Antonio looked at each other and it was a silent cry for help but you both knew you both weren’t going to get out of this so you both let it happen. The boys circled Antonio and the telling began just as the girls sat you down on the bench in the locker room and began the operation of covering up the hickeys.

“How was it?” Erin asked and you smirked and blushed.

“It was great and perfect. He was gentle and the sex was great. I really love him.” You said and they squealed. You told them more but all you could think about was about how Antonio was getting grilled and questioned.

**********************************************

“How was she?” Kevin asked and was met with a hit to the chest and an ‘oof’ was heard from him.

“She was great. I really love her. Those nails of hers can do some damage but it felt great.” He said with a smile thinking of how your night went.

“Man, if she’s leaving scratches down your back that is making you hiss then you’re doing something right.” Adam said and Jay nodded in agreement.

This went on for about 20 minutes until you were walking about out a shade of red and he got up and met you before walking into the bullpen and he grabbed your face and kissed you and you returned it. Oh, yea you love this man with all your heart and he felt the same way. You were both glad you went from colleagues to lovers. In your mind and his you both were the best thing to happen to each other.

How I improved my hair thickness & length

Using products for my hair type and learning how to properly apply them

I spent probably a total of about 2 years experimenting with haircare products and application techniques before I found a routine that really worked for me. I figured out my hair type, researched products and ingredients, and went through a long trial-and-error phase, making notes of what worked and what really didn’t. Now, I wash my hair religiously three times a week—any more frequently and my hair over-produces oil to compensate, any less and it ends up lank and lifeless—and I use a mixture of professional-grade products, homemade remedies, and drugstore treatments from abroad. I learnt that my hair craves moisture, doesn’t mind silicones, and although it’s sensitive to proteins, it still needs a protein treatment every now and again for structure, or else it becomes so soft and floppy that I can’t style it at all. I have to foam up my shampoo before I use it and I have to shampoo three times to properly wash it, I brush through my conditioner until it’s thick and foamy and I use the ‘squish to condish’ method for better hydration and absorption, and I make sure to use products created with my hair type in mind for best results.

Only washing in cold, soft water

I adore my hot baths so this was initially a difficult adjustment, but it’s one that made a huge difference to my hair’s shine, softness, and overall health. I wash my hair three times a week in cold (not lukewarm, not freezing) water, and then, if I’m feeling particularly brave or want super-shiny hair, I do a final rinse with ice water. You have to be careful with this last step because you don’t want your scalp itself to be too cold—a cold head can lead to all kinds of health complications—so I try to keep my towels warming whilst I shower, and it’s really not as torturous as it sounds. My university town has pretty hard water and my hometown has the hardest, chalkiest water known to man, and the only thing that really works for me is the ShowerStick. I’ve tried other water softening attachments but they’re just not as effective; the ShowerStick isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing little gadget in the world but it really does work and it’ll be my mainstay for uni and until I can convince my father to install a proper water-softening system in the house. If my hair is really struggling with the water or it’s adjusting after a period back home, then I also sometimes use the Dream Filter from Colour Wow—it’s not enough on its own to combat hard water but it’s a good boost for difficult days.

Avoiding tension on my hair

To avoid follicular damage and breakage—and so to stimulate and maintain growth—it’s important to avoid any kind of tension on the hair, especially at the crown and ends. I enjoy wearing ponytails and other styles that cause tension on my strands but I only wear them now when I’m going out, and I make sure to minimise the amount of time I have them in by doing my hair as late as possible and taking it back out as soon as I get home. Most of the time, I alternate between gentle claw clip styles, banana clips, and a firm (but not too tight) single plait down my back secured with a silk scrunchie. None of these styles are completely non-damaging, if I wore them all the time then I’d likely still see breakage, but by alternating between them (and also varying my parting) then I can change where the tension on my scalp lies and mitigate damage as much as possible.

Strengthening masks and treatments

My hair is very fine and prone to breakage, so I use strengthening masks and treatments to bolster it and increase elasticity where I can. Although my hair is almost virgin—I use depositing masks and zero-lift glazes for colour—I use products intended for colour-treated hair and find that they help tremendously with my hair’s overall strength and texture. I alternate between Olaplex and K18 on an almost-weekly basis, and I use the K-Pak cuticle sealer from Joico immediately after colour treatments. I include a hair mask with almost every wash—my favourites are the Alchemy mask from Oribe, the wheat germ mask from Salerm, and the Fino mask from Shiseido—and I like to add liquid hair treatments, like L’Oréal’s lamellar Wonder Water, Lador’s Fill-Up ampoules, and Salerm’s revitalising ampoules, to boost shine and strengthen my hair’s cuticle and cortex.

Oiling my scalp and hair ends

When I began oiling my scalp, it was a huge turning point for my hair’s growth rate. I’d always had hair that grew quickly but oiling truly made it grow like a weed. I’ve already made a post for my scalp oil recipe, it’s a complex recipe and it’s tailored specifically to my scalp and hair but the ingredients are all linked to hair growth and scalp health and it’s the result of a lot of research and experimentation. I’m not wholly convinced that scalp oiling works for everyone, I think it only really works if you have the natural hair density to support it, and I’ve heard mixed anecdotal reports but it’s worked wonders for my hair and scalp. I oil my scalp twice a week: I brush my hair beforehand and never whilst the oil is in, I warm up the oil to a gentle temperature, I use a little dropper and take my time parting my hair so that my scalp is lightly covered and not soaked in oil, and I wrap my hair up in clingfilm and cover with a steam cap for 2 hours (no longer) before I use a gentle scrub and cold water to wash everything out. This is the method that works best for me and it ensures that the oil can work at its best and be rinsed out without any residue.

I oil my ends using Shu Uemura’s essence absolue every single night. My hair ends are quite dry by nature and I’ve found that nightly oiling makes a huge difference to my hair’s softness and the rate at which I get split ends. I’ve experimented with lots of different oils, both commercial and homemade formulations, and Shu Uemura’s oil is the best I’ve found for my hair; it’s light, hydrating, and makes my hair soft but never weighs it down or makes it greasy. After I’ve brushed my hair at night, I use between a half and full pump and spread it across my fingers on both hands before I start plaiting my hair, and then use the excess on my ends after I tie the plait off. If I’m oiling my ends after a wash, then I oil twice: once when my hair is 50% dry, and again when it’s about 95% dry.

Regular scalp massage

Scalp massage is so important for hair growth and scalp health; it stimulates blood flow and circulation to the scalp, and can help to encourage clear and healthy follicles. I massage my scalp twice a day for at least five minutes, using my hands, and I use a silicone scalp massager when shampooing. I follow the ‘scalp over skull’ method for my twice-daily manual massages, and although I make sure to massage my whole scalp, I found that my hair’s growth rate increased quite significantly when I began to focus my massage on specific acupoints for circulation and hair health.

Homemade rinses

I love my homemade rinses and I never wash my hair without including a rinse. I have my rinses on a schedule in accordance with my washdays—onion juice on Mondays, ACV on Wednesdays, and watercress & rosemary on Fridays—and I try to use the freshest, cleanest locally-grown produce I possibly can. I use homegrown onions and rosemary, and watercress that I collect from the banks of the river near me, and I’m quite seriously considering making my own apple cider vinegar although I haven’t started that endeavour quite yet. With the rinses, I pour slowly and I’m careful that my whole head is covered, I make sure that my hair is treated from roots to ends, and I rinse out thoroughly with cold water once it’s worked its magic.

Never leaving my hair to air dry

I used to think that air-drying was the healthiest thing I could do for my hair, but it turned out that leaving my hair to air-dry—especially if I went to bed with wet hair, or went outside—was causing terrible dandruff and scalp sensitivity, and blocking my hair growth. I have low-porosity hair, which means that my hair’s outer cuticle is very smooth and tightly sealed, and so it takes a long time to absorb water and then an even longer time to dry again. Leaving stagnant water trapped inside my hair strand was weakening my hair and causing breakage, and when my scalp was damp, it was breeding bacteria and fungal issues (kind of like athlete’s foot for your scalp, which sounds so disgusting!) and blocking my follicles. Now, I squeeze out as much excess water from my hair as possible with microfibre towels, and then blow-dry with my Dyson hairdryer with the ‘gentle air’ attachment and the settings turned to the lowest temperature and gentlest flow. I make sure to baby my hair while it’s wet and in its most vulnerable state—I only comb out tangles with my fingers, a wet brush, or a wide-toothed comb—but I don’t use heat protectant when blow-drying my hair because I find that it’s just not needed when I’m drying it so gently and from a safe distance (6 inches). In fact, I found that heat protectant caused unnecessary build-up when I’m not using high heat and intense tools, and my hair is much healthier and happier now with less damage and and cleaner scalp.

Microfibre and silk for protection

I use only the gentlest fabrics on my hair to ensure that the cuticle lays flat and there’s no risk of damage—I use microfibre towels, and silk satin for practically everything else. Silk satin is the hair’s favourite fabric; it’s smoothing and almost nourishing, and I have silk scrunchies, pillowcases, and bonnets for when I’m sleeping at night. Non-silk satin works in the same way, in that it’s a smooth fabric that protects the hair’s cuticle, but because it’s usually made from synthetic fibres it isn’t breathable, and so your scalp can’t receive proper airflow and is at risk of fungal infection and clogged follicles. Buy the best silk satin that you can afford—mulberry silk is better than other kinds for the purpose of haircare, since it has fine, long fibres and a natural elasticity that lends it to a smooth satin weave, and the closer you can get to 30 momme, the better (any heavier and the silk will have a crisper texture that won’t soften the hair, and any lighter and it won’t offer enough support)—but there’s no need to waste money on ready-made products when you can buy higher quality fabrics and sew the products yourself. Pillowcases, scrunchies, and bonnets are all easy sewing projects and you’ll be able to put your money towards a higher fabric quality instead of paying another brand’s markups and production costs.

Prioritising scalp health

It sounds a bit of a cliché but I really do try to treat my scalp as an extension of my face. The scalp is skin just like the face and body, and I focus on ensuring that my scalp is hydrated, clear of dead skin and infection, and receiving a healthy blood flow. I avoid targeting aerosols at my scalp and use hypochlorous acid over dry shampoo, I exfoliate with gentle scrubs and use a glycolic acid toner once a week, I make sure to brush out products at the end of the day and treat my scalp with rose hydrosol to hydrate and restore pH (scalp pH should be mildly acidic, between 4.5 and 5.5 pH, and I test my hydrosols for this!), and I use oils and massage to stimulate blood flow. Although I don’t use the exact same routine for my scalp as I would for my face or body—no heavy body butters or moisturisers, for example—I try to apply the same philosophy I have for my skin to my scalp, and this way I don’t neglect it or treat it too harshly. The scalp is to hair what soil is to crops, and if you can maintain a nourished and healthy scalp then your hair will grow fast and strong.

Heatless or infrared styling

I love having styled hair and I could never have brush-and-go hair. My bouncy curls and blowouts are a signature of mine and a huge part of my look and identity, and I achieve them almost wholly through heatless styling. I’ve experimented a lot and I’ll probably continue to experiment (Victoria Casalino on TikTok is an inspiration to me and a driving force behind many an impulsive buy) but most of the time nowadays I use silk heatless curlers in various sizes to create and maintain my curls. If a style I have in mind calls for heat styling then I try to keep it to infrared styling; infrared hair tools penetrate deeper and heat the hair more evenly from the inside out, so less heat is used and there’s less risk of burning and damaging the outer cuticle. I really like the infrared thermal brush from Bondi Boost—it creates a blowout style without the same level of tension and heat damage as a traditional blowout, and my hair feels smooth and supple after using it. Of course, sometimes I do use traditional hot tools and I always make sure to drench my hair in a high-quality heat protectant whenever using hot tools, infrared or otherwise, but I try to minimise heat styling as much as I possibly can; I’d estimate that I use heatless styling techniques almost every day, infrared styling 2–3 times each month, and traditional hot tools less than once a month, and only ever for special occasions.

A healthy diet with supplements

Diet is absolutely key for hair growth; malnutrition causes excess hair shedding and in extreme cases permanent hair loss, and I myself experienced increased shedding and overall thinner hair density when I was losing weight. Currently, I try to eat a balanced diet of fresh, local, seasonal produce with an emphasis on fruit and vegetables, fats, and proteins, and my hair definitely thanks me for it. Alongside a balanced diet, I also take supplements specifically for hair health: collagen alone hugely helped with growing my baby hairs, zinc strengthens my hair significantly, and I drink a blend of bamboo, nettle, and horsetail tea every day for an extra dose of silicone.

Laser and high frequency treatments

Taking to high-tech devices isn’t something I’d suggest for a first step when it comes to haircare, but laser and HF helped so so much when I felt as though my hair’s health had plateaued. Laser is much more effective than LED therapy for hair growth, and after researching my options I bought the Hairmax Ultima 12 when it was on sale. It’s like a comb and can be used on the whole scalp or just to spot-treat, and I use it three times weekly for the 8 minutes recommend. I also bought a high-frequency comb that uses both argon and neon gases, and I use this on the days when I’m not using the Hairmax—it can dry my scalp out a bit, so I make sure to apply hydrosol afterwards, but I’ve found that it helps a lot with keeping my scalp clean and clear. There isn’t a huge amount of formal research on either laser therapy or high frequency therapy for hair growth, although there’s a little bit more on the former than on the latter, but I looked at the technology and anecdotal reports and decided to try a combination of the two. It definitely worked for me and was a huge leap forward for my hair’s density and growth rate, but I’d be hesitant to say that it would work in exactly the same way for everyone; one technology might work better than the other for you, or you might find that it simply doesn’t work at all, or has unwanted effects.

Genetics and lifestyle

Of course, at the end of the day, I also have to take my genetics and my lifestyle into account when it comes to the condition of my hair. I’m lucky with my hair’s genetics—both my parents have thick, dense hair that’s showing no signs of thinning with age, and I’ve always had dense, fast-growing hair since childhood. However, unlike my parents, my hair strands are fine (that is to say, although the number of hairs on my head is very high, the hair strands themselves are thin and fine, not thick and coarse) and delicate, prone to breakage, and I lost quite a lot of hair after a period of extreme stress in my life. My goal was to restore my hair’s health and density after going through a lot of excess shedding and hair loss, and to increase my hair’s growth rate, which was already quick but I wanted it to be quicker. It was a long and difficult journey but I’m not going to pretend that I had terrible hair genetics to begin with; my hair journey was much more a question of restoring and improving my hair rather than totally changing and transforming it.

I also have a very healthy lifestyle now wherein I prioritise lots of sleep, low-impact exercise, and nutrition. My stress levels are very low and my body is hydrated, nourished and in good shape, so my hair is able to grow in the best possible environment. If you have a stressful lifestyle with poor nutrition and little sleep, then no amount of scalp oiling and massage is going to make a truly significant difference to your hair; health for any part of your body starts from the inside, and the things I’ve outlined above were comparatively small improvements and garnishes on top of a huge lifestyle overhaul, and only worked as well as they did for me because I was committed to a holistically healthy lifestyle.

Why is energy management valuable?

Energy management is more crucial than ever in modern society. We are all aware of initiatives to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and convert to cleaner alternatives in light of mounting worries about climate change and national security. However, how does this impact you?

The answer is, of course, in your electricity bill! Energy-efficient products and practices can help you lower your energy consumption by as much as 25 percent. This results in cheaper monthly costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

The world is constantly evolving. In the blink of an eye, new technologies emerge, and the way we conduct ourselves changes. To keep up with these developments and learn to live within our means, it is essential to utilize your utility company's energy management services. For instance, research indicates that consumers who use less energy, even if they have modern technology such as LED lighting or Energy Star-labeled appliances, can save approximately 10% per month on their electric bill. And because your utility provider works hard to supply you with reliable service throughout the year, it is in your best interest to assist them in energy conservation by adopting a few basic behaviors. Here are some suggestions to help you reduce your electricity bill and become more energy efficient:

1. Stop wasting energy.

The Department of Energy believes that the average American household wastes enough energy to run the home for a full month. Consider home activities that waste energy, such as putting equipment on standby or leaving lights on when no one is in the room, if you want to save money and the environment. By speaking with an electrician about installing devices such as automatic light timers, you can easily save hundreds of dollars per year on your electricity bill—money that might be spent on vacations instead!

2. Optimize your computer's energy efficiency.

Computers are more than simply a valuable tool; if care is not taken to reduce energy expenses, they may also be a significant source of electricity usage. Install an application that dims the screen's brightness and disables screensavers, or simply switch off your computer while you're not using it. This might save up to $80 a year on electricity expenditures.

3. Conserve water.

Water is equally expensive, if not more so, than electricity. A 10-minute shower can consume more than 50 gallons of water, with the average monthly water bill in many areas exceeding $100. Instead of taking a shower, keep a couple buckets on hand and fill them with warm, soapy water to save time and money. Consider installing low-flow faucets and toilets to further reduce your expenses.

4. Maintain a fair thermostat setting.

It is frequently challenging to find a temperature that is both pleasant and affordable. The Department of Energy suggests setting the thermostat to 78 degrees in the summer and 65 degrees in the winter; making these minor adjustments can save you about $200 a year on energy bills.

5. Change the filters in your furnace regularly.

Furnaces are a regular expense on energy bills, but many individuals are just unaware that this is where the majority of their energy goes. Changing your furnace filter at least once a year will save you up to 15% on your energy expenses, but you must make it a habit! Consult with an electrician about a programmable thermostat so you don't have to wait for your heat to turn on when you arrive home.

6. Keep an eye on your energy consumption.

Your energy company provides you with a monthly use report that allows you to keep track of your electricity consumption. You can use this information to determine whether to run a load of laundry or lower the thermostat for the night. This will not only help you control the high cost of utilities, but it will also provide you with the opportunity to learn more about the energy consumption of various home appliances. For instance, certain devices use more kilowatts than others, and understanding this makes it easy to keep track of which devices cost your family the most money each month.

7. Choose lights that use the least amount of energy.

Utilizing more energy-efficient lighting alternatives has numerous advantages, including lower power costs and a smaller carbon footprint throughout the year. When purchasing new light bulbs or replacing old ones with LED ones, huge savings might be realized. Due to its low operating costs, a CFL light bulb that costs $2 in the store will cost approximately $3 less to operate each month; an LED light bulb that costs approximately $10 per bulb in the store will cost approximately 3 cents to operate each month. By replacing incandescent light bulbs with CFLs or LEDs, you might save up to 40% on your monthly electric bill.

8. Get a programmable thermostat.

Using a programmable thermostat for energy management, you may adjust the temperature in your home to one of the available settings during specified times of the day that correspond to your schedule and way of life. You save money on your power bill as a result of not having to use the furnace or air conditioner for extended periods of time. For instance, if your home becomes extremely hot during the day and you use a programmable thermostat to only heat the space when the temperature exceeds 80 degrees, you would save money on your monthly electricity bill by reducing your daily energy consumption.

9. Turn off lights that aren't being used.

If there is a room in your home that is never used, you can save money on electricity by turning off the light. And if you have Christmas decorations and lights outside, keep them away from your home as well; these lights use electricity and may pose a danger to minors or small children who could be wounded by them.

10. Look into new lights and light fixtures.

Typically, light fixtures are viewed as costly additions, although this is where many homeowners incur the most energy costs. Installing fluorescent lights and low-wattage bulbs can significantly cut electricity expenditures! Utilize a timer once more to avoid wasting energy on lights left on while nobody is home.

11. When not in use, turn off appliances.

Using a timer or simply turning off equipment when it's not in use will do wonders for your electricity usage and your family's wallets! You may easily save between $50 and $100 every year by turning off computers, televisions, and other devices that are always on. Consider adding an energy-efficient ceiling fan to circulate warm air throughout your home throughout the winter. Planning ahead will save you money on power costs and provide you with peace of mind as you move into a new home or apartment.

Even a couple of these measures can save your family hundreds of dollars annually. And the best part is that the benefits of these steps extend beyond your wallet. When you lower your electricity consumption, you decrease the quantity of pollution released into the environment. You can save money while helping to rescue the planet!

The 10 Essential Plumbing Tips

Tip 1: Regularly Inspect for Leaks

A small leak might seem harmless, but over time, it can cause severe damage to your home and increase your water bill. Leaky faucets and Burst  pipes often go unnoticed, particularly if tucked away under the sink or behind a wall. Make it a habit to check for leaks regularly.

Actionable Tip: Inspect around taps, toilets repairs, and any visible pipes for signs of moisture or water pooling. If you notice water stains on ceilings or walls, this could indicate a hidden leak that needs professional attention.

Tip 2: Know Where Your Stopcock Is Located

Knowing how to shut off your home’s water supply in an emergency can prevent a minor leak from turning into a flood. The stopcock (or stop valve) controls water flow into your home. Every homeowner should know where this is and how to operate it.

Actionable Tip: Your stopcock is typically found under the kitchen sink repairs or in a utility area. Test it by turning it off and back on to ensure it’s working properly. If it is stiff or hard to turn, it may need maintenance.

Tip 3: Insulate Pipes to Prevent Freezing

Frozen pipes during winter are one of the most common plumbing disasters in the UK. When water freezes, it expands and can cause pipes to crack or burst, leading to significant water damage and repair costs.

Actionable Tip: Insulate exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas such as attics, basements, and garages. Use foam pipe insulation sleeves, which are easy to install and can prevent a burst pipe disaster.

Tip 4: Don’t Ignore Dripping Taps

A dripping tap may seem minor, but it can waste significant water over time and increase your water bill. It also indicates that a washer or seal may be worn out and needs replacement.

Actionable Tip: Replace the washer or valve seat in a dripping tap immediately. If you’re unsure how to do this, a plumber can handle the task for a small fee compared to the cost of wasted water over time.

Tip 5: Be Cautious with What You Flush

Toilets are designed to handle human waste and toilet paper – and nothing else. Flushing items like baby wipes, sanitary products, or kitchen rolls can cause severe blockages in your plumbing system.

Actionable Tip: Place a bin in your bathroom for non-flushable items and encourage family members or guests to use it. Only flush toilet paper and avoid using excessive amounts.

Tip 6: Use Drain Strainers

Clogged drains are a common plumbing issue caused by the buildup of hair, soap scum, and food particles. Installing drain filters is a simple but effective way to prevent blockages.

Actionable Tip: Fit strainers in your kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, showers, and bathtubs to catch debris. Clean them regularly to keep water flowing smoothly and prevent buildup.

Tip 7: Clean Gutters and Downpipes

While this tip isn’t directly related to internal plumbing, it’s vital for preventing water damage around your home. Clogged gutters and downpipes can lead to rainwater overflowing and seeping into your home’s foundation or basement, causing structural damage.

Actionable Tip: Clean your gutters and downpipes at least twice a year, especially before winter or heavy rainy seasons. Remove leaves, dirt, and debris that could block water flow.

Tip 8: Maintain Your Boiler and Heating System

Boilers are the heart of your home’s heating and hot water systems. Annual servicing can keep your boiler running efficiently and help you avoid costly breakdowns.

Actionable Tip: Schedule a professional inspection and service of your boiler every year. It not only ensures it’s working efficiently but also catches potential problems before they turn into expensive repairs.

Tip 9: Use a Water Softener in Hard Water Areas

If you live in a complex water area, you’ve probably noticed limescale buildup on your faucets, showerheads, and appliances. Over time, hard water can cause significant damage to your plumbing system and reduce the lifespan of appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.

Actionable Tip: Consider installing a water softener to reduce the effects of hard water. It can help prevent limescale buildup, improve the efficiency of your appliances, and extend their lifespan.

Tip 10: Know When to Call a Professional

While many plumbing issues can be handled with basic DIY skills, others require professional expertise. Knowing when to call a plumber can prevent problems from getting worse and leading to more costly repairs.

Actionable Tip: If you encounter issues such as low water pressure, strange noises from your pipes, or recurring clogs, it’s best to call a licensed plumber. Additionally, a professional should always handle any work involving gas lines or complex boiler repairs.

Conclusion

Following these ten essential plumbing tips, UK homeowners can proactively maintain their systems and avoid costly repairs. Simple practices like regular leak inspections, insulating pipes, and cleaning gutters can go a long way in preventing significant issues. For problems beyond your expertise, never hesitate to call a professional to ensure the job is done safely and effectively.

Remember, a little maintenance today can save you from hefty repair bills tomorrow. Keep your home’s plumbing in check, and enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re well-prepared to handle any issues.

FAQs

1. How often should I check my plumbing system for leaks?

Answer: It’s a good idea to check your plumbing system for leaks every few months. Regularly inspecting visible pipes, faucets, and appliances helps detect minor issues before they escalate into more significant problems.

2. What should I do if a pipe bursts in my home?

Answer: If a pipe bursts, immediately turn off your home’s water supply at the stopcock to prevent further damage. Once the water is shut off, open all taps to drain the remaining water. Then, contact a plumber to repair the burst pipe immediately.

3. How can I prevent frozen pipes during winter?

Answer: To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes, particularly those in unheated areas like attics and basements. In freezing weather, leave faucets slightly open to allow water to drip, which helps prevent freezing.

4. Why is my tap dripping, and how can I fix it?

Answer: A dripping tap is often caused by a worn-out washer or valve seat. Fixing it typically involves replacing the washer or the entire faucet cartridge. While this is a DIY-friendly task, you can call a plumber if you’re uncomfortable doing it yourself.

Answer: Signs of low water pressure include weak flow from taps and showerheads, slow-filling toilets, and appliances like dishwashers and washing machines taking longer to run. A blockage or leak or a partially closed valve could cause low water pressure.

7. What is hard water, and why should I be concerned about it?

Answer: Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause limescale buildup in pipes, taps, and appliances. Over time, hard water can reduce appliance efficiency, increase energy bills, and cause plumbing damage.

8. What is the purpose of a stopcock, and how do I locate it?

Answer: A stopcock is a valve that controls water flow into your home. It’s essential in emergencies like leaks or burst pipes. The stopcock is typically located under the kitchen sink, in a utility area, or near the water meter.

9. How can I prevent clogged drains in my home?

Answer: To prevent clogged drains, use filters in sinks, showers, and bathtubs to catch hair, food particles, and other debris. Also, avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down your kitchen sink, as they can solidify and block pipes.

10. When should I call a professional plumber?

Answer: Call a professional plumber for complex issues like burst pipes, gas line problems, recurring drain blockages, low water pressure, or boiler maintenance. Additionally, any gas repairs or installations should always be handled by a certified plumber.

How to Clean a Shower Head—Plus Why You Need To

If your shower only delivers a trickle of water, you may need to clean the shower head. Water, even from a municipal system, contains minerals that build up and block the openings in the shower head. And, if you live in an area with hard water or use well water, the problem can be even worse.

Installing a good shower filter can help reduce mineral deposits and contaminants. But once the openings, or nozzles, become blocked, the shower head is a dark, moist, warm place for bacteria and mold to grow.

Is hard water affecting your hair and skin? What to do about it

These are the signs experts want you to look out for. If you have noticed that your skin feels dehydrated or your hair looks more brittle and damaged than usual, hard water may have contributed to these issues. Dermatologist Dr Yulia Krasnaya from Evolution Aesthetics Clinic explains that "hard water can leave several signs on your skin, indicating potential damage. One common sign is dryness or tightness after washing, as hard water can strip away natural oils, leaving the skin feeling parched. "You may notice a dull or lacklustre complexion, as mineral deposits from hard water can build up on the skin's surface, hindering its natural radiance." Hard water has a high mineral content that can negatively impact hair and skin. It is more dangerous for people with susceptible skin, as "hard water can exacerbate existing issues like irritation, itching, or redness," says Krasnaya. If you suspect you have hard water, consider changing your water filter and following some simple tips to help alleviate the symptoms. But aside from your skin and hair, there is another way to tell if you have hard water in your home. "Ano" her indication is the presence of residue or soap scum, especially noticeable in areas like the sink or bathtub, which can signal hard watewater'sect on the skin and surfaces," sa" s Krasnaya. Although it is not hazardous for your health, "pro" onged exposure to hard water may also contribute to a compromised skin barrier, making it more susceptible to environmental stressors and moisture loss," ex "lains Krasnaya. So, it pays to know how to deal with the fallout and make your hair and skin healthy again. Anabel Kingsley, consultant trichologist and brand president at Philip Kingsley, says hard water minerals can accumulate on the hair shaft. Living in or traveling to a complex water area can affect how your hair looks, feels and behaves. Furthermore, it's important to note that hard water can adversely affect your hair. Experts say it can make your hair dry, frizzy, and lack shine. Additionally, it can reduce lather while shampooing. Moreover, if you have highlighted or bleached strands, hard water can even affect the color of your hair. If you have noticed any of these characteristics in your hair, hard water is likely the culprit. If you have hair and skin issues, improve your health and combat the damage. Install a shower filter.

Conquer Hard Water in Jaipur with Aman Water Tech's Ion Exchange Magic!

Hard water plagues many Jaipur homes, causing frustration with cleaning, skin irritation, and appliance damage. But there's a solution! Aman Water Tech offers top-notch water softening plants that utilize a remarkable process called ion exchange, bringing serenity back to your water woes.

Understanding Hard Water's Grip

Jaipur's water source often contains high levels of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. These "hardness minerals" react with soap, reducing its effectiveness and leaving behind residues. They also build up on surfaces and inside appliances, shortening their lifespan.

The Science of Softness: Ion Exchange in Action

A water softening plant employs a clever technique: ion exchange. Here's how it transforms your water:

Mineral Tank Magic: Hard water enters the mineral tank and flows through a bed of spherical resin beads. These tiny warriors, typically made of polystyrene plastic, are the key players. Charged Up for Action: Each resin bead acts like a tiny magnet, negatively charged with sodium ions.

Opposites Attract: The hardness minerals, calcium and magnesium, have a positive charge. Remember, opposites attract! So, the positively charged minerals are drawn to the negatively charged resin beads. The Exchange: As hard water passes through, the resin beads capture the calcium and magnesium ions, removing them from the water. In exchange, the resin releases sodium ions, leaving the water "soft." Soft Water Triumphs: The column of resin acts like a filter, continuously removing hardness as water flows through the mineral tank. Finally, soft, gentle water exits the tank, ready for use throughout your home. Benefits of Soft Water: A Softer Life Awaits
