Cream-lightening kits provide no-mess solutions when you need to highlight your own hair. Because the consistency of the bleach is thicker, it's simpler to avoid having it touch your scalp, which can cause irritation. According to iVillage, lightening your highlighted locks can give you an unpredictable result, so it’s best to use cream-lightening kits, bleach and hair dyes from the same company -- because their formulas are made to work well together.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/put-purple-dye-african-american-hair/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:51:15 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/put-purple-dye-african-american-hair/

When it comes to hair color, commitment-phobes may have the right idea. Using a semi-permanent dye is safer for your scalp and gentler on your tresses than permanent dye. Plus, it provides a fresh pop of color that works with your hair's natural look -- no messy highlighting kits required.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hair-toner-out-brassy-orange-gold-make-platinum-highlights/ Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:55:07 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-toner-out-brassy-orange-gold-make-platinum-highlights/ http://www.typef.com/article/good-toner-gold-blond-ash/ Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:53:54 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/good-toner-gold-blond-ash/
When a little gold is still too much gold, you need to go ash -- green. Instead of leaving you looking a little green around the gills, green-based hair color cuts or counteracts all traces of orange and yellow, leaving your color flat. Depending on how light or dark your hair is, you can expect a color ranging anywhere from platinum with a slight smoky cast to dark dirty blond.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/brassy-blonde/ Wed, 14 Dec 2011 12:59:25 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/brassy-blonde/
Blondes might have more fun -- but not when hair coloring goes awry. When your blond hair color develops a reddish-orange tint, there's little cause to smile. This is known as having brassy hair -- and it’s definitely not a look you want to rock. To prevent brassiness, resist the urge to go one shade lighter -- a common cause of hair color troubles in blondes. Follow expert advice for blond color that's true to your intended hue.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/color-brow-powder-use-blonde-eyebrows/ Tue, 06 Dec 2011 14:37:52 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/color-brow-powder-use-blonde-eyebrows/
If you've got blond eyebrows you need to define, you're likely wondering what hue best suits your goldie locks. Before you frame your features with the help of an eyebrow pencil or powder, decide whether to add contrast or create a more natural eyebrow. Natural brows are close in color to your own brows, whereas a dramatic brow can be much darker or even include unnatural tones. Think Gwen Stefani or Madonna and you'll see exactly how a dark brow can really work on blond tresses. Even if they're bottled. Or real. Or whatever. If you're a blonde, sharpen up your brow IQ.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/butter-yellow-blond-color/ Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:04:06 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/butter-yellow-blond-color/
Platinum blond hair is as overdone as that song on the radio that you liked but now you can’t stand. Still, you don’t want to count golden locks out of your fashion-forward style completely. If you already have blond hair, you can pick up a bottle of hair dye and be good to go. If you have darker tresses, it will take a bit more work to get a hair color like Jessica Simpson’s. If you’re a hair-bleaching virgin, don’t tempt fate. Get the job done at a salon so you can learn how to achieve the same butter-blond results on your own in the future.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/dirty-blond-hair-color/ Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:46:06 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/dirty-blond-hair-color/

Knowing which colors -- in your case blond and black -- you want to add into your hair is the key decision when you're dyeing your hair, but it's not the only one. With color choices made, you have a number of different hair color styles you can create. The size of the sections you color and where you choose to place them makes a drastic difference in your outcome. The right amount of color in the right place and your blond-and-black hairstyle will be turning heads -- for all the right reasons]]> http://www.typef.com/article/types-blonde-hair-color-bleaching/ Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:59:24 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/types-blonde-hair-color-bleaching/
A blonde babe turns heads, but dark roots induce the wrath of the fashion police, who quickly remind the offender that her blonde ambition requires complete commitment. Bleaching your hair blonde demands a willingness to expose your hair to harsh chemicals on a regular basis, while spending precious hours and dollars at the salon. Skip the chemicals for some clever, painless blonde highlighting tricks.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-put-copper-auburn-hair-color-over-blonde-highlights/ Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:23:24 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/can-put-copper-auburn-hair-color-over-blonde-highlights/
You can shake up your look as often as Katy Perry or Rihanna by dyeing over natural or highlighted hair. To get sophisticated color and sexy strands, you've got to evaluate your hair's condition and work with the color you've already put into your mane. Fighting the color can turn your copper into a carrot-top and break some strands, so dye safe!]]> http://www.typef.com/article/compare-mary-kay-brow-definer-pencil-classic-blonde-blonde/ Sun, 27 Nov 2011 15:45:44 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/compare-mary-kay-brow-definer-pencil-classic-blonde-blonde/
Whether you’re a natural blonde or get a little help from the bottle, there’s one aspect that can hold you up: defining your brows. Having blonde hair makes your eyebrows look nonexistent sometimes, especially in photos. If you're a blonde deciding between Mary Kay’s Brow Definer Pencil in blonde or classic blonde, there are a few key color differences that can determine the right choice for your hair and eyebrow color.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/fix-brassy-blonde-hair-color-semi-permanent-color/ Sun, 27 Nov 2011 12:00:44 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/fix-brassy-blonde-hair-color-semi-permanent-color/
If your blonde strands have gone from sunny to straw-colored, you need to tone down the brassiness. Sun damage, chemicals from your shower, and too much heat styling add warmth to your hair, which can leave your tresses with a distinct orange tint. To turn back the clock to your fresh-from-the-salon hue, just apply the easiest toner to find: semipermanent hair dye.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/golden-blond-hair-color-buy/ Sat, 26 Nov 2011 13:24:45 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/golden-blond-hair-color-buy/
If golden blond hues never fail to draw your gaze, you may be ready to lighten and brighten your own tresses. If you have a warm skin tone -- think yellow or olive undertones, with veins that look green -- golden blond will match the natural warmth in your complexion. Cool-toned divas with rosy skin (blush much?) and blue veins may need an ash or neutral blond instead, but with the right highlights and lowlights, anyone can rock golden blond locks.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/pale-blond-hair-coloring-out-gold-tones/ Sat, 19 Nov 2011 13:22:54 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/pale-blond-hair-coloring-out-gold-tones/
As it lightens, hair naturally takes on reddish, orange and then gold tones before it turns into pale yellow -- blond. If you stop the highlighting process too soon, you get stuck with golden hues. Don't fret though; you don't have to start the whole process over. You can tone the gold right out of your hair.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/blond-hairdressing-styles/ Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:01:11 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/blond-hairdressing-styles/ http://www.typef.com/article/blond-hair-colors-leave-red-highlights/ Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:41:10 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/blond-hair-colors-leave-red-highlights/
There’s a time when blondes don’t have more fun: when their golden locks start to turn red and dull. This hair color phenomenon is known as brassiness, and can happen to the best of the blondes. While blonde hair colors can leave reddish, brassy highlights, they don’t have to. If you take some steps to protect your hair, you can keep the blond and skip the red.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/lowlight-ideas-blondes/ Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:16:33 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/lowlight-ideas-blondes/ http://www.typef.com/article/hair-color-should-use-cover-dirty-blond-roots-make-light-blond/ Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:38:37 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-color-should-use-cover-dirty-blond-roots-make-light-blond/
Nothing is more frustrating than roots popping out to ruin your perfect coif.

The peekaboo ‘do — blond on top, dark on bottom — is a simple way to add some spunk to a dull style. Though you may think you need to enlist a pro to re-create this look, it’s actually pretty easy to achieve it yourself. Once you’ve picked out a blond shade and a dark shade (read the chart on the back to make sure the products you’ve picked will come out the correct color on your hair), all you need are a few supplies and a couple of hours to yourself to take your hair to a new, punky level.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hair-color-looks-good-underneath-blond-hair-top/ Wed, 19 Oct 2011 09:24:41 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-color-looks-good-underneath-blond-hair-top/
Since you're quite sure that blondes have more fun, it's no surprise that you definitely want to keep the overall light shade. But if you're in the mood for something new, you might decide that you'd like another color underneath your blond layer. If that's the case, you've got a rainbow of colors from which you can choose. A few hues in particular look especially nice with blond hair, so you'll want to keep them at the top of your list.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/blonde-purple-hair-color-ideas/ Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:11:23 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/blonde-purple-hair-color-ideas/
Blonde and purple hair is an awesome combo. The mix is a little bit punk and way pretty, especially when you place streaks or dashes of color in unexpected places. The color is edgy, but shades from lavender to violet complement blonde so well, you can get away with it almost anywhere.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hair-colors-blondes-wanting-brown/ Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:49:24 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-colors-blondes-wanting-brown/
Do blondes have more fun than brunettes? There's only way to tell: try out both colors. While some women will never be able to go blonde with stellar results, most blondes can pull off brunette.

There's an easy jumping off point to take when it comes to making your decision.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/add-color-blonde-hair/ Wed, 28 Sep 2011 10:16:04 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/add-color-blonde-hair/
Every hair-savvy fashionista gets an itch to change her hair color from time to time.

Going with the first pair of frames that looks halfway decent on your face is a major fashion faux pas. First things first -- put on your detective hat and find out whether your blonde tresses are considered to be on the warm or cool side. Don't worry -- it's not hard to do! The true hue of the blonde mane you're sporting will ultimately guide you to the most flattering frames. The last thing you want to do is look washed out or washed up.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/brassy-root-color-out-blond-hair/ Thu, 12 May 2011 15:03:53 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/brassy-root-color-out-blond-hair/ http://www.typef.com/article/fill-blond-hair-before-color/ Tue, 15 Mar 2011 05:14:27 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/fill-blond-hair-before-color/
Don't dismiss stories of horrific hair-color mistakes as urban legends or tall tales just yet. Stories of hair turning green, blue, pink and gray are often true. Blond hair is especially vulnerable because it is porous in nature and often heavily damaged from hair lightener use. When you try to put color over blond hair, the hair sucks up the base of the color like a sponge, resulting in the horrific tinge that hair-color disaster stories are made of. Blond hair also fades quickly resulting in a faded mess. To prevent funky colors while coloring over blond hair, you must use a color filler. Fill it before you color it!]]> http://www.typef.com/article/switch-blond-auburn-hair-colors/ Mon, 14 Mar 2011 05:30:54 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/switch-blond-auburn-hair-colors/
There's no denying it; blond is fun. But do you know what's even more fun? Sultry, fiery red, that's what. You've been burning for a change. Now it's time to venture out and see what is is like to live life as a redhead. Covering over blond hair with a red, auburn color, can be tricky. Blond hair lacks depth, and the results can turn out a little orange if you're not careful. The key lies in color selection. With the right color, you'll be heating up the night with your fiery new look.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/blond-hair-color-out-hair/ Tue, 22 Feb 2011 14:48:52 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/blond-hair-color-out-hair/
Blond is as light as it gets, girlfriend! If you want rid of those blond tresses, there's only one thing you can do, color over them. You could try to strip the color out, but stripping will only damage your hair at this point and leave you with a brighter, whiter blond than you have now. To counteract blond, you must deposit color. Well, unless you're going for that bleached, washed-out look. Surely not, honey! Put some color on that mess.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/ash-blonde-hair-color-remove-orange-colored-hair/ Thu, 17 Feb 2011 07:47:19 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/ash-blonde-hair-color-remove-orange-colored-hair/
There are loads of amazing hair color hues out there to choose from. Orange is not one of them. That doesn't stop orange from showing up, unexpectedly, when you try to lighten your hair. Thankfully, there is a way to ditch that orange color in favor of one of the pretty shades.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/darken-blond-hair-turning-funny-color/ Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:08:56 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/darken-blond-hair-turning-funny-color/
Maybe you've been burned before, or maybe you're just one salon-savvy chick. You know that darkening blond hair is easier said than done. You run the risk of going a funny yellow, orange or red. Worse, you could age yourself in an hour with an ashy gray mane. The problem is, you're not starting with a blank canvas. Every shade of blond is different. That's great for diversity's sake, but not so great when you're trying to match your strands to the "before" picture on the box. Coloring hair is always a gamble, but when you work with, not against, your color, you'll have better odds for a winning result.]]>
