Let's be real: It's doubtful you'll get a Marilyn-like platinum from a simple chamomile rinse. On the other hand, using botanicals can considerably lighten those locks without lightening your wallet. To bring out the blonde, your choices of herbs are extensive. Traditional botanicals for blond hair include chamomile, marigold, quassia, rhubarb, yarrow and mullein. It takes some practice, but chances are you'll hit on one or two formulas that chase the mousiness from dirty blond hair or add even more of a glow to flaxen tresses.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/protein-moisturizer-4a-hair/ Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:23:44 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/protein-moisturizer-4a-hair/
Sporting the voluminous, kinky-curls of type 4A hair looks easier than it is. Deceptively carefree and low-maintenance looking, this hair type requires the perfect balance of moisture and protein to keep it healthy. When that combination gets out of balance, you could begin to experience major breakage and dryness. Sometimes a protein-free moisturizer is just the fix for unbalanced 4A hair.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/difference-between-sealing-moisturizing-hair/ Fri, 25 Nov 2011 19:04:46 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/difference-between-sealing-moisturizing-hair/
Sure, a single human hair looks like one cohesive strand; but if you put it under a microscope, you will find it looks more like the roof of a house. Made of little shingles that protect the inner hair shaft, the outer layer works best when every “shingle” is in place -- if some break loose or pull up, your hair isn’t going to be as healthy as it could be. That’s where sealing and moisturizing your hair comes in. While the two may sound similar, sealing and moisturizing are actually two very different things.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/moisturizer-4a-hair/ Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:28:56 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/moisturizer-4a-hair/
Curly hair is so fun. It bounces, it has volume and it can turn a regular ol' hairdo into a glamorous statement. Knowing what kind of natural curls you’re rocking is important when it comes to keeping your tresses moisturized and healthy. Using the right moisturizer with the right ingredients is uber-important for your curls.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/benefits-lavender-moisturizer-hair/ Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:53:19 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/benefits-lavender-moisturizer-hair/
You may think of lavender as an old-fashioned fragrance, used to scent sachets and potpourris. But there's more to lavender than the scent that your grandma used to favor; its ability to add moisture and shine to hair earns it a place in the pantheon of natural products that can benefit hair without the drawbacks of harsh chemicals. Speaking of which: You needn't be a chemist to unleash the moisturizing and aromatic powers of lavender on your locks. You can simply combine it with one or two other oils, or use it solo.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hair-moisturizers-hair-hot-humid-weather/ Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:12:20 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-moisturizers-hair-hot-humid-weather/
Summer heat can be drying for your tresses, even when that heat is combined with humidity. If you're looking for a way to keep your coif moisturized in hot, humid weather, you'll be happy to know that there are tons of types of hair moisturizers that fit the bill.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/moisturize-dry-hair-caused-chlorine-damage/ Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:49:16 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/moisturize-dry-hair-caused-chlorine-damage/
Swimming is great for exercise and enjoyment, but it can wreak havoc on your locks. Continuously taking a dip in the pool can cause your hair to become rough and brittle. Some swimming pools may have excessive amounts of chlorine, exposing your strands to chemicals that break down the structure of your hair. Learn to protect and replenish moisture within your tresses for a harm-free swim for your hair!]]> http://www.typef.com/article/moisturize-hair-burnt-bleaching/ Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:11:26 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/moisturize-hair-burnt-bleaching/
If you weren't born a blonde, you might think that bleach is your best friend. If you hit the bottle too hard, though, you might have to send your hair to rehab. Bleach sucks the moisture straight out of your hair, leading to split ends, broken hairs and dry frizz. Sound familiar? Then you need to treat the problem by moisturizing your hair before the damage is irreversible. With a regular conditioning regimen, you can have hair that's as healthy as it is blond.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/need-moisturize-hair-daily-relaxed/ Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:43:26 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/need-moisturize-hair-daily-relaxed/
Chemical relaxers will turn your hair from wavy, curly and spiraled to sleek, straight and shiny; but keeping your locks looking fierce after a relaxer treatment requires the right kind of daily maintenance. Relaxed hair takes a pretty serious chemical beating, so nourishing it with moisture is critical to keeping strands strong and free from frizzy dryness. Getting the right amount and kind of moisture requires a balancing act, but the right mix will keep your hair in the style hot zone.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/keep-dry-hair-moisturized-washing/ Wed, 05 Oct 2011 02:29:08 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/keep-dry-hair-moisturized-washing/
Dry hair needs continuous moisture to keep from breaking or splitting off at the ends. Without the proper moisture you've got a frizzy, prickly mess on your hands. Healthy, moisturized hair is more elastic, soft and bouncy. But you don’t always have to wash and condition your hair to moisturize it. Give your locks the moisture they need with a leave-in product instead. Choose a light grease-free product designed specifically for your hair type.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/balance-moisture-protein-hair/ Sat, 24 Sep 2011 11:15:10 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/balance-moisture-protein-hair/
Your hair is one of the most stand-out parts of your overall appearance, so healthy and strong locks are a must. Maintaining an equal balance between the protein and moisture within your strands is a bit of a challenge. African American women, most specifically, tend to notice lack-luster tresses, with little moisture and protein. If you frequently find pieces of your hair strewn across all areas of your life or notice that they break extremely easily, it might be time to find the solution to a balance in healthy hair.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-moisturize-hair-scalp/ Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:50:22 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/shampoo-moisturize-hair-scalp/

Natural hair designated "4A" is tightly coiled and usually contains curls about the size of a pen-spring. Because of its ultra-curly nature, the scalp's natural oils have a difficult time traveling down the hair shaft all the way to the ends. This is why "4A" hair is often dry. Keeping it well-moisturized is one of the keys to keeping this hair texture in shape. However often you moisturize your hair, stick with a regular schedule.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/hair-moisturizing-conditioner-severely-dry-hair/ Mon, 12 Sep 2011 08:12:32 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/hair-moisturizing-conditioner-severely-dry-hair/

Begin the process of repairing your hair.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/top-natural-hair-moisturizers/ Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:18:38 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/top-natural-hair-moisturizers/

Molasses is an ingredient you think of when you think of gingersnap cookies, not when it comes to conditioning your hair. Molasses is actually chock full of potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper, all of which are good for you and your hair. Putting straight molasses on your hair would be pretty messy, not to mention sticky, so you need to make a hair conditioner with molasses and a few other ingredients from your kitchen, grocery store or natural health food store.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/moisturize-hair-wearing-weave/ Sat, 18 Jun 2011 16:50:11 -0700 http://www.typef.com/article/moisturize-hair-wearing-weave/
Just because you've finally gotten the hairstyle you've always wanted with a fabulous weave, that doesn't mean you can just abandon your real hair braided underneath. Not only will you need to wash your hair weekly, you'll also need to keep your hair moisturized with conditioner and light oil. If you keep your real hair well-maintained while you have your weave in, you'll be more likely to grow to new lengths later.]]>
