question:Here is a piece of text: There’s a lot of restaurant news afoot of late. We’ll start with closures, then update you on new eats around the county. Epic Wings has opened in Mission Viejo, the first in the chain to franchise outside of San Diego County. Dunkin’ Donuts’ “next generation concept store” in Quincy, Mass., features a beer-like tap system for cold coffees. Smokey Fred’s in Orange will close at the end of the month because the owner, Fred Rea, needs time to recover from an upcoming heart surgery. Orange County will have lost two Pei Wei restaurants by the end of March. A unit in Huntington Beach has already closed and will be followed by the Seal Beach restaurant. A company representative said the restaurants’ leases expired. The Seal Beach Pei Wei is closing March 25. A tipster told the Register a sign indicated a Five Guys burgers would take its place. A company representative said gift cards would be good at all area restaurants, which includes sites in Brea, Tustin, Newport Beach, Laguna Niguel and inside John Wayne Airport. The restaurant, a fast-casual version of P.F. Chang’s, serves Pan-Asian-inspired dishes. The Texas-based chain got a new chief executive in early 2017. J. Hedrick told D Magazine in Dallas that Pei Wei’s annual revenue is “north of 300 million.” The chain has 225 locations with 6,000 employees in more than 20 U.S. States, South Korea, and the UAE. Smokey Fred’s BBQ on E. Collins Avenue in Orange will shutter at the end of March. The restaurant had been in place for just shy of five years. Owner Fred Rea told his fans in a Facebook post he’s been diagnosed with a heart defect. Rea explained that his mom-and-pop shop cannot sustain a prolonged closure while he recovers. “I have no choice but to close my doors,” he wrote. The restaurant will maintain its website during his recovery so that Rea might return to business afterward. Address: 129 E Collins Ave. A Knowlwood on 17th Street in Santa Ana has closed. The restaurant is now C’est What 17, an Asian fusion eatery. A limited number of Yelp reviewers scored the restaurant positively. Their menu highlights included the pho (soup), oolong tea with boba, popcorn chicken with a waffle and a Vietnamese sandwich or bahn mi. The Anaheim-based Knowlwood chain was founded in 1957 and recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. The company has locations Anaheim Hills, Irvine and a cafe at the Santa Ana Zoo. The chain in recent years has shrunk by half. In 2016, the Knowlwood at the Fullerton train depot on Harbor Boulevard closed. It had been there since 1994. Another unit closed in Laguna Niguel. Taps Fish House & Brewery will open its doors at 4 p.m. Friday, March 23, revealing a new look after a 1.5 million makeover that began March 11 at 101 E. Imperial Highway. “It’s a big-picture renovation that simply says that after close to 20 years of high-volume business, we’re ready for a major refresh,” said proprietor/founder Joe Manzella, who opened the original TAPS with his sister and their late father. The reno has been timed to coordinate with the opening of a four-level, 476-space structure to help alleviate parking woes. Inside the restaurant, the bar and the oyster bar will be outfitted with new stools, televisions, lighting and artwork. The dining rooms have walnut wood tables, leatherette booths and fresh flooring. The lobby and foyer also got an update. The patio will also have new flooring, heaters, speakers, televisions and a new trellis. The refresh extends to the kitchen as well with new equipment and workstations and an upgraded air conditioning and lighting system. Brea is the flagship location of Taps, which also has restaurants in Corona and Irvine. Manzella also plans to open TAPS Brewery & Barrel Room in Tustin in May to expand production of its award-winning beers. Epic Wings, a San Diego-based restaurant chain, has crossed the county line into Orange County. The restaurant opened in Mission Viejo recently on Marguerite Parkway. The chain began at Wings N’ Things in 1982 and has grown to 18 units in Southern California. The Orange County franchise location is owned by the Koch brothers (not those Koch brothers). Ali, Mehmet, and Reggie Koch emigrated to San Diego from Turkey in 1991. Epic Wings was their first employer. Hours: 11 a.m. To 9 p.m. Daily. Address: 28621 Marguerite Parkway #B6.

The family-owned restaurant’s menu includes an eclectic selection and a build-your-own entree feature. Customers choose a protein (chicken, pork, beef, lamb, tofu, tilipia, cod or salmon) and a sauce such as lemon basil, blackened Cajun, coconut lime, red curry and more. Other menu options include homemade pastry, savory pies, rice bowls and salads. Address: 18685 Main St., Suite 103; phone: 714-465-2722. Southern California’s next Dunkin’ Donuts will be a little different from most of 12,000-plus restaurants in the chain. The location — which opened Thursday, March 22 in Corona — will be a “next generation concept store,” only the second in the chain. The first opened in January in Quincy, Mass. The store features similar signage as one that opened in Pasadena in July with just the word “Dunkin’” over the door. The Corona Dunkin’ Donuts, which has a drive-through, is in a shopping center anchored by a Smart & Final Extra! grocery store that opened in November. The franchisee is Parag Patel, who was selected as Dunkin’ Donuts developer of the year in July. Patel opened the city of Riverside’s first Dunkin’ Donuts in September 2016. It happened to be the chain’s 12,000th store. The Village at Tustin Legacy has welcomed several new healthcare tenants — for you and Fido. The shopping center, which opened in late 2017, is just east of the blimp hangars and includes a new prototype store for Stater Bros.

question:What is the best way to restore damaged hair, and what products can I use to achieve this?

answer:There are several ways to restore damaged hair, and some of the best methods include: 1. Cutting off damaged ends: if the damage is extensive, cutting off the damaged ends is the best option to start over with healthy hair. 2. Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner: look for hair products that do not contain harsh chemicals and sulfates, as these can further damage the hair. 3. Apply hair masks: hair masks can help nourish and repair damaged hair. Look for hair masks that contain natural ingredients such as argan oil, coconut oil, and shea butter. 4. Limit heat styling: frequently using heating tools such as flat irons, curling irons, and hair dryers can damage the hair. Limit the use of these tools and use a heat protectant product when you do. 5. Protect hair from sun damage: exposure to excessive sun and UV rays can damage hair. Wear a hat or use sunscreens designed for hair. Some products that can help restore damaged hair include Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask, and Coco & Eve Like a Virgin Hair Masque.
