The common misconception is that women who wear their hair natural can just get up, shake it and go – not the case. Your hair needs that extra care to bring out the best in its natural texture, especially as it gets cooler. More conditioning and the scalp needs stimulation to restore the natural sebum balance on the outer layers.

It’s interesting that many women purchase a cheap inferior quality shampoo and conditioner that does nothing good for their hair yet wonder why their curls feel dry, why their hair looks dull and why their hair is breaking?!? Quality conditioner has many functions, it:

• Restores lost moisture
• Seals the cuticle
• Provides emolliency
• Softens the hair
• Make it easier to comb
• Improves manageability
• Strengthens the hair

Jane Carter Solution Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner leaves your hair feeling soft, detangled and moisturized. This feeling will remain after rinsing the conditioner out, drying and styling your tresses. Our line also offers Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner, Hydrate Quench and Restore Moisture Mist.

For the sake of your coils, CONDITION YOUR HAIR….regularly.

Love Your Hair,

Sometimes you just have to declare your own independence; scream it from the rooftops and demand it from those that are resistant.

Assert your freedom and independence from any and all things that you feel bound to. Let go of:

• material possessions
• relationships that no longer ‘work’
• unhealthy behaviors
• living a lie
• being self-absorbed
• your daily routine
• codependency of a partner or spouse
• the fear that you just might fail if you try, so you never try

When you reflect or examine your inbox or to-do list, how do you feel about the life you have created? Is it satisfying? Does it bring you joy and happiness every day? Are you surrounded by people that lift you up or tear you down? Are you living the life you were destined to live? Slow down enough to find your freedom!

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” No longer respond to people and situations without thinking. Slow down your thoughts and actions enough to consider if what you’re about to say or do next is in your best interest…or if it will even make you happy.

Find your freedom!

Love Your Hair,

Jane

Jane Carter Solution wants you to have a summer filled with great hair days! The high humidity and even higher temperatures call for a simplistic beauty regimen; sunscreen, a little waterproof mascara, a sheer gloss and wash n’ go hair should do the trick.

Picture it – it’s the typical lazy summer day, you’ve lounged at the pool all day with not a care in the world. Great day but you re currently late for evening plans….and your hair, your hair is a hot mess, girl. You have less than 20 minutes to get it together. This would normally lead to spiraling and extreme dramatics but you’re equipped with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner and Curl Defining Cream!

For perfect summer curls, apply Curl Defining Cream to wet hair that has been spritzed with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner and work through each strand. Making sure that hair is covered, scalp to ends, will help to prevent shrinkage and reduce frizz while enhancing your gorgeous curls. You’re left with flexible, bouncy, shiny hair.

For this weekend only, enjoy 15% OFF the power of these two products. Use coupon code POWER2 at checkout online.

Enjoy your summer tresses!

We’ve all heard time and time again that smoking is one of the worst habits around. In fact, smoking damages almost every organ in the body - from your fertility to the strength of your heart, lungs, and bones. Maybe there is no fountain of youth, but there is a surefire way to look older. Smoking changes the skin, teeth, and hair in ways that can add years to your looks.

• This stinks: The most obvious and immediate effect of lighting up? Your hair smells like smoke, period. (ewwwwww!)

• Dullsville: Smoking can cause your strands to turn brittle and dull-looking; smoking constricts your blood vessels, restricting oxygen flow and nourishment into the scalp.

• Hair loss: If hair loss is an issue, it might be because smoking causes premature thinning of the hair — even balding in some cases, especially ones who smoke more frequently. This is most likely attributed to the fact that smoking damages the hair follicle and interferes with circulation and hormone production in the scalp.

• Premature graying: A study proved a link between puffing up and premature graying; this can be attributed to the fact that the toxins contained in cigarettes can not only cause damage to hormones, but to hair follicles as well. Also, once hair does start to go gray, it can take on an unwanted yellow hue thanks to tar and nicotine contained in cigarettes.

These may not come as a complete shock, but sometimes it helps to look at things in good old black and white. The choice is yours and you should know better. Smoking and hair loss are directly related to each another. Kicking butts can not only make you healthier, it also noticeably improves your appearance in several ways.

What is your favorite Jane Carter Solution product that you simply cannot and will not live without?

Conditioning is extremely important for African-American and/or multi-ethnic hair as it adds the much needed moisture to dry, brittle hair. Using conditioning treatments regularly gives hair the extra flexibility it needs so stay strong in harsh weather. It also makes combing it easier. Try Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner under a heated dryer to maximize your conditioning experience, detangle, and rinse with cool water. If you’re anything like me, you probably hop in the shower and blast that hot water because it feels so good…but do yourself a favor and turn the water temp down.

The reason for the cold water is that it seals in the moisture and closes the cuticle. This also helps to prevent frizziness and add shine to hair. Follow with Hydrate Quench, style as usual.

Love Your Hair,

Jane
