When you color your hair -- whether you're going for subtle highlights or a dramatic color change -- you want your locks to look better, not worse. But the same chemicals that give your hair that shot of oomph can also leave it dry, damaged and less than lovely if you don't protect your tresses.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/color-pants-well-pink-grey-off-shoulder-shirt/ Sat, 31 Dec 2011 20:33:21 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/color-pants-well-pink-grey-off-shoulder-shirt/
You've got the perfect pink and gray off-the-shoulder shirt hanging in your closet -- but you're not really sure if you have the perfect pants to wear along with it. While you can always go with go-to picks like denim or black, don't be afraid to take this opportunity to go wild and throw in some bold prints. Remember, outfit perfection is wearing what you love -- you're bound to look fabulous in the top, whatever your pants color choice.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-black-dress-grey-shirt/ Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:21:07 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/can-black-dress-grey-shirt/
Your favorite little black dress won't look good with a grey shirt -- it'll look great, provided that you pair the match-up with the right shoes and accessories to pull the two together into one harmonious outfit. Even better, by mixing and matching the types of grey shirts and black dresses, you can create eye-catching chic combinations that will work for everything from a night at the club with your girlfriends to a meeting with the boss.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/color-pants-black-cashmere-blazer/ Sun, 20 Nov 2011 23:57:41 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/color-pants-black-cashmere-blazer/
Black cashmere blazers are unabashedly fashion-promiscuous -- they'll get down with just about any pair of pants you've got in your closet and look great, regardless of color or fabric. The trick to getting the biggest bang out of any blazer-pant pairing is to use the color and style of the pants to either amp up or tone down that luxurious cashmere to just the right look for any occasion. Add accessories, and your cashmere blazer will take you from your big I-deserve-a-promotion pitch with the boss to weekend shopping with your girlfriends.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/way-color-hair-blue-black/ Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:03:11 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/way-color-hair-blue-black/
Blue black hair definitely makes a statement -- and whether you're ready to make a bold change just add a little extra oomph to your already dark locks, expect to turn some heads when you go blue black. Just make sure your skin tone can handle it by trying on a wig in a similar change before you make the move. Some girls with rosy skin undertones can look spotted and blotchy with super-dark, blue-tinted tresses.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/color-trousers-black-blazer/ Fri, 04 Nov 2011 06:16:40 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/color-trousers-black-blazer/
Whether you are pairing it with a flirty dress or your favorite jeans, the black blazer is a staple must-have. Don’t be fooled into thinking a structured blazer should be reserved for days in the office -- with the right outfit, tailored pieces can work for both casual off-duty days and nights out with the girls.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/color-hat-boots-black-coat/ Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:49:20 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/color-hat-boots-black-coat/
When cold weather approaches, it's time to bust out the one staple of almost every woman's closet. Not the little black dress but the little black coat. You know you have one, be it a wool pea coat or a leather jacket -- because let's face it, black goes with just about everything. When you accessorize with a hat and boots, you can use color and texture to mix it up and make that coat all your own.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-remove-black-nonpermanent-hair-color/ Sun, 30 Oct 2011 09:02:16 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/can-remove-black-nonpermanent-hair-color/
Non-permanent color options fade on their own over time, but when you hate the hue you need color gone ASAP. The less permanent the color, the better luck you'll have fixing matters yourself -- and on the cheap. You don't have to live with color you don't love, so take action to save your strands.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/color-shirt-looks-good-black-hair-fair-skin/ Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:20:15 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/color-shirt-looks-good-black-hair-fair-skin/
If you're a raven-haired lass with fair skin, chances are you spend a considerable amount of attention to the colors you wear -- one wrong move and you might end up looking washed out. The lovely contrast between your hair and skin presents an opportunity for either neutrals or bold-hued shirts. It's true! You can play with color -- just remember to keep your tops highly pigmented for a visually rich effect.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/change-black-hair-color-looking-tacky/ Thu, 25 Aug 2011 06:06:12 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/change-black-hair-color-looking-tacky/
If your hair is naturally black, changing its color is tougher than for those with lighter hair colors. Black hair has concentrated pigment, so adding color has no effect. For this reason, you need to lift your natural color with bleach before dyeing your hair another color. As bleach processes, it takes hair through a series of tacky, brassy shades like copper, orange and yellow. The trick to avoiding tacky color is to keep going and bleach until you reach a light blond. After this, follow up with dye of any shade you'd like.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/highlighted-hair-pure-black-hair/ Wed, 17 Aug 2011 09:58:43 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/highlighted-hair-pure-black-hair/
You enjoyed your highlights; you loved your highlights, for a minute. Now, though, you're over them, way over them. You want the exact opposite of sunny blond. You want to walk on the dark side for a while and experiment with a whole different look. Sultry black anyone? The bold color will make your eyes sparkle and shine. A little change in makeup color choices, a small tweak of the wardrobe, and you will be a completely new person, or at least look like one. Feel daring?]]> http://www.typef.com/article/remove-black-color-ends-hair/ Wed, 10 Aug 2011 21:57:19 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/remove-black-color-ends-hair/ http://www.typef.com/article/fun-ways-wear-black-white/ Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:18:19 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/fun-ways-wear-black-white/
Black and white is arguably the most basic color combo you can get. Black and white can look super chic, but they also can be a fun look.

Black hair dye has staying power, whether you're trying to get back to your natural hue, covering up a bad dye job or doing your best Morticia Adams impression. That staying power of black dye packs a punch, but can cause problems when you accidentally fling dye onto your clothes, sink and walls. Save your sanity and your décor by cleaning up quickly and thoroughly after you dye your 'do. Arm yourself with some basic household cleaning supplies and a lot of patience. That stain is going down.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/wear-beanie/ Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:46:24 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/wear-beanie/

When it comes to color, it is usually your top that sparkles and shines, but pants can also take center stage, especially when paired with a neutral-colored top like a grey and black shirt. Since black and grey go well with any color, your options are limitless. Lighter-shade pants are generally more appropriate for day activities, while darker rinses can glam up any outfit for nighttime wear. To add more flair to your ensemble, add bright-colored necklaces and heels to complete your look.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hair-colors-black-women/ Mon, 28 Feb 2011 16:44:23 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-colors-black-women/
Black women have been known to experiment with their hair. From styling and extensions to color and texture, there is hardly a style that African-American women haven't embraced. One of the most popular ways black women like to experiment with hair is through color. The skin tones of African-American women come in varying shades, and that makes possibilities for trying various hair hues endless. However, a few shades always work for the majority.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/blue-out-blue-black-hair-color/ Mon, 28 Feb 2011 12:26:22 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/blue-out-blue-black-hair-color/
It works for Krysten Ritter and Kim Kardashian, but jet black hair with blue lowlights can clash with your skin and make you look flushed. If your new black 'do isn't doing you any favors, you can strip out the blue tones without going to see a stylist or paying big bucks.

Black hair can be dramatic and eye-catching, but not everyone can pull it off. While black hair can make you look exotic and mysterious, it can also make you look washed out and sickly. And while some black hair dyes can look flattering and natural, others can make your hair look fake and synthetic.
