Finish with Jane Carter Solution

0 Comments

Locking Spray Natural Hold Locking Spray and Natural Hold Spray Gel are two wonderful JCS styling products that are alcohol free and will never leave your hair dry and brittle!

Natural Hold Locking Spray is perfect for re-hydrating your twists and locks and it will help you maintain the look of freshly twisted hair. When combined with Twist and Lock, this product truly delivers great hold for lock styling by hydrating your locks and smoothing the cuticle to give you a gorgeous ‘finished’ look.

Natural Hold Spray Gel is water based and great for soft or stiff curls and excellent for flat-ironing because it will protect your hair from heat damage while smoothing the cuticle and adding shine. This alcohol-free curling spray puts moisture BACK into your hair while providing hold; use small amounts for springy curls, a heavier concentration for more hold. Combine with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner for fun, beachy waves!

Start strong with Jane Carter Solution and finish with Jane Carter Solution for beautifully nourished and hydrated hair.

Dull Hair Extensions: The Dilemma Solved

0 Comments

There’s nothing worse than a weave that’s unkempt. A properly installed weave will give you a great starting point and quality hair kicks it up a notch to perfection! Synthetic hair extensions can be too shiny and look unnatural, human hair extensions can tend to look natural but are a bit too dull; luckily though, human hair extensions can have the healthy luster you desire.

The wrong products or adding too much product to your extensions can cause build up and ultimately lead to dull, dry looking tresses. How to avoid this, you ask? Jane Carter Solution Hydrate Seal & Shine; a little bit of Seal & Shine goes a long way to achieve weightless shine.

Prior to styling your hair, spray a small amount of Hydrate Seal & Shine into the palm of your hands; rub hands together to thinly spread product and run your hands through your hair. This silicone free hair glossifier (fortified with Jojoba, Soy oil, Shea Butter and Mango Butter) leaves hair with vibrant shine – exactly what your extensions need!

How Long, is Too Long

0 Comments

We women are serious about our deep conditioning - a day will be preselected, we’ve decided on our deep conditioning snack and what to watch as we detangle. It’s a ritual that is greatly appreciated by our hair. How long do you condition your hair; 60 minutes, 2 hours, overnight?

It’s all about balance, ladies. The goal is the perfect protein to moisture ratio….which means, not over conditioning your hair. 20- 30 minutes will do; the key ingredients that can stick to hair will do so within seconds of applying the conditioner. After 30 minutes from initial application, hair no longer absorbs conditioner. Adding heat assists in the swelling or opening of cuticles, allowing for increased benefits of your conditioner’s ingredients. Mission complete!

All summer I will be stressing the importance of moisturizing your mane, but it’s also important to follow the “everything in moderation” motto. Having too much of a good thing (conditioner) can actually start damaging your locks and cause limp, greasy strands over time.

Finding Purpose in Pain

0 Comments

Pain is inevitable in a lifetime…but creates opportunities for growth. Pain is essential to evolution! In order to heal and progress, you have to let go of the anger and find a way to see pain in a more positive light.

When life doesn’t seem to have compensated us for a loss or deep disappointment, what we need to do is to try and see it differently; this means accepting the loss or disappointment as a gift or an opportunity. Turning a painful and adverse circumstance upon its head and giving it a positive dimension is possible. This is the opportunity that life has been waiting for, to tell you that the time has come to have the courage to make those changes. Pain is the indicator that you can no longer persist in the way that you did, say, a year ago.

Remember, life is about experiences and the essence of any experience is the lesson it has taught us; this makes the knowledge we gain an outcome of having lived life.
