Lots of African-American ladies have tresses that tend to dry out easily. Hair relaxers, straighteners and perms can intensify the problem, including those with added conditioning ingredients. Even ladies with shorter hairstyles can benefit from moisturizers made specifically for black hair. Keep your style shiny and drive the dryness away with a protein moisturizer formulated with your hair type in mind.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/protein-moisturizer-black-hair/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:22:17 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/protein-moisturizer-black-hair/
If your black hair is feeling a little dry and brittle, try incorporating a protein and a moisturizer into the mix. Giving your tresses a bit more TLC can make all the difference. If you decide to add a protein and moisturizer to your beauty routine, find yourself one of the best.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-conditioner-hard-water/ Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:52:57 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-conditioner-hard-water/
If you think the water you use is totally pure, think again. Don't go getting worried, though. Your water is probably perfectly safe, but there is a possibility that it could be wreaking havoc on your hair. There's a chance that the water coming out of your shower head contains calcium and magnesium, which can deposit on your hair and leave it less healthy. If you have hard water, full of minerals, don't fret. Just find a shampoo and conditioner that will combat it and leave your tresses soft and beautiful.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/need-honey-evoo-pre-poo/ Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:11:12 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/need-honey-evoo-pre-poo/
It isn't easy being beautiful, and now you're hearing that you should add yet another beautifying ritual to your routine -- a pre-poo. OK, enough with the snickering. Pre-poo is short for "pre-shampoo treatment," a deep-conditioning technique that's done before washing your hair. Depending on your hair type, adding a pre-poo to your hair care regimen might well be worth your time.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/homemade-shampoo-conditioner-hair-care-swimmers/ Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:46:16 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/homemade-shampoo-conditioner-hair-care-swimmers/
Swimming laps at the pool helps you burn calories to rock that swimsuit, but the constant exposure to chlorine can wreak havoc on your hair. Instead of turning to store-bought products full of chemicals, make your own shampoo and conditioning treatments designed to combat chlorine damage. You'll look good in and out of the pool.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-deep-conditioners-weaving-hair/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 11:03:18 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-deep-conditioners-weaving-hair/
Whether you wear a natural or synthetic weave, it needs more careful care than your own hair. Weave hair is sewn or glued to your head and doesn't benefit from the natural oils of your scalp. That means you must wash it gently and infrequently, using a mild shampoo, then replenish the hair using a rich conditioner. Natural hair weaves benefit from periodic deep or leave-in conditioners, as well. Handle your weave gently, style it carefully and it'll look great for much longer.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/biodegradable-dress/ Sun, 01 Jan 2012 20:42:19 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/biodegradable-dress/ http://www.typef.com/article/dry-sew-ins/ Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:22:02 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/dry-sew-ins/
A sew-in hair weave can take hours to complete, and after sitting all that time, it only makes sense that you would want to keep it looking fresh. Proper weave maintenance includes washing the sew-in at least once every seven to 14 days. Once it’s washed, the weave’s got to dry. Doing it right keeps your sew-in weave in check.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-dry-scalp-not-produce-sebum/ Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:31:07 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-dry-scalp-not-produce-sebum/
Having a dry scalp can result in flaking, peeling and itching -- and it can just be downright uncomfortable and unpleasant. Using the right type of shampoo can correct irregular sebum production, but you need to look for active ingredients that aren’t too heavy or irritating to the skin. Putting the wrong shampoo on your scalp can actually exacerbate the problem instead of fixing it.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/water-soluble-silicone-hair-products/ Tue, 20 Dec 2011 20:02:49 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/water-soluble-silicone-hair-products/
If you're looking to make a glossy change to your hair, adding silicone to your routine can amp things up, leaving your hair shiny and gorgeous. Most silicones aren't water soluble, but some are chemically altered to be more water friendly. If you want a hair product that's silicone-soluble, there are a few to choose from.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-pre-shampoo-coconut-oil/ Tue, 13 Dec 2011 15:20:26 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/can-pre-shampoo-coconut-oil/
The best pre-shampoo conditioners moisturize and strengthen your hair. That prevents nasty breakage and split ends and gives your hair a healthy glow. It's best to use an oil conditioning treatment as a pre-shampoo. Oil is nearly impossible to rinse away with water alone, and you don't want your hair to look greasy. Not only can you pre-shampoo with coconut oil, it has a specific conditioning advantage over other types of oil. Get ready to go tropical with this fragrant, hair-taming oil.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-bar-different-castile-soap/ Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:57:32 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-bar-different-castile-soap/
Shampoo bars and Castile soap are similar, and in some cases they are identical. However, not all Castile soap is intended for use on your tresses and not all shampoo bars qualify as true Castile soap. For a better understanding of these sudsy wonders, look at how they’re made and the ways you can use them to freshen up your life.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/kind-shampoo-used-full-sew-weave/ Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:13:24 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/kind-shampoo-used-full-sew-weave/
Face it; hair types are as diverse as personalities. While some girls are born with a mane full of luscious locks, others have hair that is thin and as fine as silk. Whichever category you fall into, a full sew-in weave can transform your locks into the hair you wish you were born with. But before you wash your new weave, read the shampoo label.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/water-soluble-shampoo-mean/ Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:15:43 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/water-soluble-shampoo-mean/
Water soluble shampoos contain only ingredients that can be broken down by water – meaning they don’t stay on your hair and scalp once you’re done washing them. Many of the non-soluble ingredients used in shampoos are potentially damaging to your health and hair. Water soluble shampoos that don’t contain those ingredients are more commonly seen in the natural market – meaning health food and beauty supply shops. Most shampoos that are water soluble will say so on the bottle, but if not, there are some main ingredients you should look for. If you see them, the shampoo is not water soluble.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-conditioner-line-bob/ Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:26:00 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-conditioner-line-bob/
An A-line bob -- you know, the type that's longer in front and shorter in back -- is a modern twist on the classic bob that's been all the rage since the 1920s. The key to keeping it looking chic is in your shampoo and conditioner. Whether you want to add sexy volume or keep your bob stylishly straight -- not to mention free of split ends -- the appropriate hair cleansers will nourish your trendy tresses.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/difference-between-organic-solid-liquid-shampoo/ Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:31:41 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/difference-between-organic-solid-liquid-shampoo/
A quick glance at the label on your shampoo bottle reveals a laundry list of chemicals, some of which you probably can’t even pronounce. The mystery of it all has led some women to switch to organic shampoos that they hope contain more wholesome ingredients. Organic solid and liquid shampoos are available, and the difference between the two is a matter of convenience.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-zits-scalp/ Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:20:13 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-zits-scalp/
When you have a zit zone dotting your scalp, don't run to your doctor without first checking out what's already waiting on the shelves of the drugstore. Plenty of medicated shampoos exist that can help zap your zits and return your scalp to its normal state. As long as you know the key ingredients that battle acne, finding a shampoo to remedy your scalp is a snap. Yet, weigh your options with care and check the warning labels to make sure your hair doesn't suffer any ill effects.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/jojoba-shampoo/ Thu, 17 Nov 2011 08:59:12 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/jojoba-shampoo/
If the ingredient labels of shampoo bottles all seem about as confusing as hieroglyphics to you, it may be a sign that it's time to learn exactly what you're putting on your precious locks. Jojoba oil is a common botanical component in many hair care products and is known for its protective, moisturizing and softening abilities. Stop missing out and learn about the various types of jojoba shampoos out there just waiting for you.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-well-water/ Wed, 16 Nov 2011 09:24:23 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-well-water/
Having well water -- also known as hard water -- doesn't mean you have to carry out your buckets each day and get the water yourself a la Elly May Clampett. What it does mean is that your water has minerals in it, like calcium and magnesium, that can keep your shampoo from sudsing, cause buildup, and turn your hair some funky colors. Your shampoo, however, can come to your rescue (you can even put a little cape around your chemical superhero's cap for effect). Finding the right one to lift away deposits can keep your locks looking lovely, even when you have well water.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/benefit-cactus-walnut-shampoo/ Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:12:56 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/benefit-cactus-walnut-shampoo/
If your crowning glory has lost its shine and is provoking you to pluck gray pop-ups with regularity, there may be a natural solution. The sap of an invasive weed commonly known as prickly pear cactus is reputed to condition hair, while crushed walnuts may help to restore your natural color. You don’t have to climb a tree or scour the desert terrain to get these benefits, if you use a cactus and walnut shampoo.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/optical-brightener-shampoos/ Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:43:07 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/optical-brightener-shampoos/
Optical brighteners capture ultraviolet light and release it back again in blue shades. Many shampoos contain optical brighteners, but most of those shampoos are designed to perk up the hair of dogs and horses, not yours. Only a limited number of shampoos for people contain optical brighteners, and these high-end products are primarily intended for people with certain hair colors.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-sensitive-scalp/ Wed, 09 Nov 2011 07:57:07 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-sensitive-scalp/
Ouch! You touch your scalp and it feels like it’s on fire or itchy or just plain irritated. When you have a sensitive scalp, using certain hair products can affect both your scalp and how your hair looks. You can find the best shampoo for your sensitive scalp based on what’s causing the sensitivity in the first place. Take care of your scalp, and your hair will be bouncy and beautiful in no time.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-coconut-oil/ Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:25:23 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-coconut-oil/ http://www.typef.com/article/blue-tone-shampoo-correct-brass-blond/ Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:25:23 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/blue-tone-shampoo-correct-brass-blond/
Brass is what you use to make a trumpet; it shouldn't be the color of your hair. When you have blond hair, the hair-dying process can make your hair fade or react with chemicals in your hair or shampoo that give it a red or faded tint -- called "brassiness" by those in the hair industry. Before you make an emergency run to your hairdresser's salon, use a color-correcting shampoo that’s tinged with a blue or purple tone to correct brassiness.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-sodium-chloride/ Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:05:21 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-sodium-chloride/
If you are looking for the most gentle and nourishing shampoos out there, it may be a smart idea to look for options that are entirely free of the compound sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is often associated with being harsh and with stripping your locks of their healthy and natural oils. Take charge of your hair health. Avoid those unpleasant possibilities by washing your tresses with a mild shampoo that doesn't doesn't include it as an ingredient.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-athletes/ Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:15:21 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-athletes/
An athlete's hair works as hard as her body, but while sweat, chlorine and dry or humid weather wreak havoc on her crowning glory, her tresses somehow look fantastic in the action photo shots and videos. Whether you are a professional athlete wannabe, or a workout diva, choosing the right shampoo for your active lifestyle keeps your hair in the same good shape that you keep your body is in.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/straightening-shampoo/ Mon, 31 Oct 2011 08:07:13 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/straightening-shampoo/
Unless you are trying to mimic the looks of the Jerseylicious cast, you don't want big poufy hair. From flat irons to keratin treatments, there's no shortage of products on the market that will help straighten your hair. Start out with a straightening shampoo, and you just might be able to eliminate the other 10,000 products you apply. It's no surprise that you want only the best. Through trial and error, beauty experts have named their fav straightening shampoos.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/benefits-moringa-shampoo/ Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:27:19 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/benefits-moringa-shampoo/ http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-conditioner-brunettes/ Sun, 30 Oct 2011 08:10:16 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-conditioner-brunettes/
Your personality makes you sparkle, but your brunette hair color adds class. Keep sandy brown hair fun and dark tresses mysterious with a shampoo and conditioner that bring out the best in your hair. Whether you're all-natural or a bottle brunette, special hair-washing products are the difference between worn-out brown and blazing brunette.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-conditioners-swimmers/ Thu, 27 Oct 2011 22:04:26 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-conditioners-swimmers/
Shopping for the right swimsuit seems way more important than shopping for the right hair conditioner when you're getting ready to log some serious pool time. But unless you're trying to make fried and frizzy hair happen, a solid hair-care regimen is just as essential as the perfect swimsuit to maintain your swimming-pool cool.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-use-wont-cause-breakouts/ Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:05:26 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/good-shampoo-use-wont-cause-breakouts/
Shampoo can be an ally in your war against acne, or it can be a wolf masquerading in the sheep’s clothing of a "gentle conditioning shampoo." That silky smooth hair you see in shampoo commercials looks clean, natural and healthy, but hold on a minute. That wholesome-looking sheen may come from oils that clog pores and cause breakouts on your scalp, as well as your face. And that wonderful “natural” scent released when you use the shampoo probably comes from an added fragrance, which may provoke an allergic reaction.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-conditioners-redheads/ Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:39:41 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-conditioners-redheads/
Whether you're a natural ginger or get your burgundy from a bottle, keeping red hair looking its best can be a challenge. Don't settle for a shampoo and conditioner designed for more mundane shades. Not only will these products not boost your shine and protect your pigments like redhead-only products can, they might actually harm your hair if they’ve got harsh detergents that yank out the pigments that make your look so special. Instead, accentuate the auburn with hair care products designed just for redheads like you.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-contain-saw-palmetto/ Wed, 19 Oct 2011 09:50:42 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoos-contain-saw-palmetto/
To a diva, thinning hair is the equivalent of losing a limb. Okay, maybe it's not quite as dramatic as that, but thinning tresses still can be a beauty trauma. Saw palmetto shampoos might be the answer for getting your hair loss under control. They still need some study, however, and aren't right for every fashionista.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/lush-shampoos/ Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:46:41 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/lush-shampoos/
Lush products are absolutely addicting. Who doesn't love pretty colored soaps with a variety of different textures, ingredients and scents? Still, as much as you might love their products, walking into a Lush store and trying to pick out a shampoo without really knowing what you want can be overwhelming. There are just so many options -- do you go for a hard shampoo or a soft one? Should you buy something vegan? How will it benefit your hair? Don't be overwhelmed! Depending on your hair type, there are some great products to help fix your hair woes and help you flaunt what you've got.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/difference-between-shampoo-conditioner/ Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:30:59 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/difference-between-shampoo-conditioner/
For some people, hair-washing is a two-step process -- shampooing and conditioning. Bottles and bottles of shampoo and conditioner line store shelves, donning fancy labels that describe alluring fragrances and promise exceptional results. Shampoos and conditioners serve separate purposes, though. You might be surprised to learn best practices for both conditioners and shampoos. Some people shouldn't use conditioner -- and some people shampoo too often.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/deep-cleaning-shampoo-remove-buildupp/ Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:32:04 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/deep-cleaning-shampoo-remove-buildupp/
Gel, heat-protectant, hairspray and glossing spray -- all those styling products you use on your hair have to go somewhere. While you can shampoo a lot of it off with an everyday shampoo, sometimes styling products can be super stubborn and start to coat your hair and collect on your roots. The results are anything but pretty because your hair can look dull and lifeless. To get the buildup out, look for a deep-cleaning or clarifying shampoo that gets all the gunk out.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-excess-sebum/ Sun, 09 Oct 2011 05:33:25 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-excess-sebum/
If your scalp produces too much sebum, then your hair likely has a tendency to feel oily and greasy -- ugh. If excessive sebum is making your hair always look dirty and less-than-fresh, then it's time to do something about it besides complaining! Quit letting an oily scalp put a damper on your tresses and your spirits -- instead, head to the store to find the best clarifying shampoo for your personal needs.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/blond-shampoos/ Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:00:32 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/blond-shampoos/
Perhaps blonds do have more fun, but not when your tresses take on a green tinge or start to look brassy. Choosing the right shampoo can help you bring out your most vivacious blond. Make your color last and do battle with the elements that wreak havoc on your golden-hued highlights.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/disadvantages-two-one-shampoo-conditioner/ Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:00:32 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/disadvantages-two-one-shampoo-conditioner/
When you're running late, it's easy to cut corners with your beauty routine. Lip gloss adds a coordinating shimmer when you don't have time to apply lipstick, gold or silver jewelry matches nearly any outfit and you can eliminate the need to condition your hair in the shower by choosing a two-in-one shampoo. But, is an all-in-one hair product really a good choice? Sure, you may shave five or 10 minutes off your get-ready routine, but your hair may become limp and lifeless in the process.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-oily-roots/ Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:02:10 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-oily-roots/
If your hair constantly has a greasy look and feel, you may simply have a scalp that produces a lot of oil. Instead of throwing a tantrum and being jealous of all your friends who have soft and shiny hair, realize that you can take control over your oily locks situation. Have no fear -- a clarifying shampoo can do wonders for managing an annoying oily scalp situation.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/anti-breakage-shampoos/ Wed, 28 Sep 2011 08:09:15 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/anti-breakage-shampoos/
When you're styling your hair, not many things can be more frustrating than breakage. Weak and brittle hair not only looks dull and lifeless but also is a sign that your hair is not in optimal health. If excessive breakage and split ends are the name of the game for your tresses, it might be time to invest in an anti-breakage shampoo formulated specifically to accommodate your individual hair needs and wants.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/ph-levels-shampoos/ Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:07:12 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/ph-levels-shampoos/
Plenty of shampoo manufacturers market their products as pH-balanced, but what exactly does this mean for your hair? A pH-balanced shampoo is designed to work with the natural pH levels in your hair, which helps to maximize its health and shine. Understanding optimal pH levels can help you choose the best shampoo for your strands.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/protein-shampoo/ Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:49:21 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/protein-shampoo/
If your hair is feeling a little unhealthy, make it strong with a boost of protein. Your hair is made up of proteins that can be damaged with styling, via gels and creams, and the use of heated products. Protein shampoos not only clean your tresses but also make them stronger. So find the best one for you and add new life to your hair.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/head-shoulder-shampoo-benefits/ Sat, 03 Sep 2011 12:14:23 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/head-shoulder-shampoo-benefits/
Dandruff's not sexy, and if you've got dark hair or wear dark clothes, you're broadcasting your scalp flakes to the world. One of the major dandruff relieving shampoos, Head & Shoulders, is marketed to stop dandruff with regular use.

All those hair products you pile on can end up leaving you with an icky, sticky mess.

When you suds up your hair with shampoo, the last thing you're probably thinking is that you may have an adverse reaction to it. Shampoo allergies aren't the most common thing, but it's something that many women have dealt with before, and which you should at least be aware of in case it does happen to you. It's important to know the symptoms of a shampoo allergy, so you can recognize them if you ever exhibit them yourself.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hemp-shampoo/ Wed, 24 Aug 2011 06:59:13 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/hemp-shampoo/
With so much product on the market, it's no wonder women have a hard time deciding which way to go. Hemp shampoo is the latest craze in the hair aisles, and for a good reason. If you want fabulously healthy hair, you should consider using hemp shampoos -- but not until you know exactly what it is.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/varieties-white-rain-shampoos/ Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:23:12 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/varieties-white-rain-shampoos/ http://www.typef.com/article/switch-shampoos/ Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:23:12 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/switch-shampoos/
Switching shampoos every now and then is usually a good idea, particularly if you are experiencing issues with your 'do. Some shampoos leave build-up and residue on your locks, which can weigh them down and make them look dull. If you are happy with your current shampoo and aren't having troubles with it, then leave it alone -- don't fix what isn't broken. However, if you are unsatisfied with your hair's performance or are simply looking to resolve some hair problems, it's time to switch to a new shampoo.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-restore-color/ Fri, 19 Aug 2011 09:23:12 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-restore-color/
Does your hair color lose its oomph a week or two after you color it? Just how long your color lasts depends on your hair's porosity, texture and how often you hit the shampoo bottle. Every time you shampoo, your cuticle releases dye molecules, your color fades and gives you that blah factor. If you want to keep your color looking fierce in between salon visits, use a shampoo that restores color each time you lather up.]]>
