Shemar Moore is a 39 year old African American actor who captured the hearts of millions of women when he played the role of Malcolm Winters in CBS television's "The Young and the Restless". He has also been quite successful as a male model and as a supporting actor in feature films. Today, he is back at CBS starring in the hit series "Criminal Minds".

Born April 20, 1970 in Oakland, CA, Moore spent a good portion of his early childhood living with his mother in the Netherlands. His native language is Dutch. He did begin to learn to speak English until he was around six years old.

The hairstyle that Moore wears is one that works incredibly well for a man with his features. The hair cut is called a tapered fade. It is achieved by starting out as close to the scalp as possible to get with the blades of a clipper and fading away from the scalp as the cut moves toward the top of the head. Moore keeps the top of his cut nicely short as well, but there are no real restrictions on the length of the top hair.

Wearing it the way he does, however, gives the hair cut a neater, cleaner appearance than having nearly shaved sides and long hair on top.

How to Make Your Hair Not Frizzy

Frizzy hair is a problem that affects men just as often, if not more so, than women. This is because both curly hair and fine hair are prone to frizz, especially in cases of extreme humidity. The reasons usually tend to be extremely dry or damaged hair.

Eliminating frizzy hair is basically a simple process. In general, it can be handled quite easily in the shower or when the hair is washed. Over washing can cause the hair to dry out and become brittle or frizzy. However, use of a conditioner each time the hair is washed will help to replace most of the moisture that is stripped away by shampoo.

In addition to the regular conditioner that is applied and then rinsed away, it is recommended that those prone to frizzy hair invest in a mild leave in conditioner. This will continue to moisturize the hair as well as helping to prevent damage from combing or brushing.

Avoiding blow drying is a good idea if one is prone to frizzy hair. The heat from the dryer tends to dry the hair and increase the damage to hair that leads to frizz. Instead, it is recommended that one allows the hair to air dry.

Use of pomade or other styling products will help to control the amount of frizz while styling the hair. These products are designed to provide moisture while helping to hold the hair in place according to the chosen style. This also cuts down on the need to use a comb or brush to restyle the hair, thus cutting down on the chance of the hair being damaged.

There are several home remedies for frizzy hair as well, but most of these are things that most men would refuse to use on their hair. Fortunately, most conditioners and some styling products contain the needed ingredients to control frizzy hair for men.

One of the more endearing traits he exhibited on American Idol was the fact that he wore his hair slightly different for each performance. He managed to change his hair so that the style reflected the song he was performing in some way or the era from which the song was taken. He even managed to pay homage to Elvis Presley with the way he styled his hair for his performance of the great love ballad, "Love Me Tender". One could say that Archuleta keeps his hair at a perfect length for taking on many different styles with ease.

How to Create Temporary Dreadlocks

If you are looking for a new hair style, but are unsure of what you want, consider temporary dreadlocks. Dreads are, most certainly, fashionable and well worth the time they take to create. Temporary dreads even allow you to have that look for one night or even a few days without the need for permanent ones. This article will tell you how to easily create them, another reason why they are a great idea.

In order to create temporary dreadlocks, you will need: shampoo, conditioner, a rat-tail comb, hair clips, hair gel and a hair iron. You will begin by washing and conditioning your hair. After you have done this, you’ll want to allow it to naturally dry. Next, you will divide your hair into sections using the rat-tail comb. Clip each section of hair into even portions no larger than one inch square. The number of clips you will need to use and sections you will, in turn, make will depend on both the thickness and length of your hair. This takes may require the help of a friend. Even if you find you are able to do it yourself, you may find it beneficial to have someone help you. Next, take a section of hair close to your neck and lightly cover it with hair gel. Twist this section, leaving about two to three inches next to your head untwisted. You may twist it as tight as you want or will be able to stand. The hair gel is there to hold it in place.

Now continue to twist each section of hair you have created, finishing with the crown of your head. Place each dreadlock in the position you want it to remain when the process has been completed.

Now place each dreadlock in a hair straightening iron for a few seconds. This is only necessary if you have fine hair that is difficult to straighten. If, on the other hand, you find your hair is staying in place with the gel, you may skip this step. Within 48 hours of creating the temporary dreads, rub conditioner into your hair. You may then follow the conditioner with shampoo which will remove the twists. If you find your temporary dreads worked out well for you, you may want to consider making this a more permanent look. If you want to create it at various times, you may repeat the steps above whenever you desire it for a relatively short period of time. Either way, temporary dreadlocks are easy to create and will definitely give you that different style you’ve been wanting.

Daniel sports an elegant hairstyle that is designed to make fine hair look fuller. It is cut short at the sides, tapering to a longer cut nearer the top of the head. Sideburns are cut to medium length. Styling is handled quite easily by using a comb or the fingers to position the hair so it lays the way one desires and allowing it to air dry. For a fuller look, using a hair dryer on medium heat works well.

After the hair is fully dry and styled the way one wishes to wear it, a little styling gel will provide the hold necessary to keep the hairstyle looking good all day. This particular style works wonderfully for those with chiseled facial features like Daniel has. It looks good with a full beard or clean shaven.
