The holidays bring a sense of warmth and festivity, but can also be a chaotic and stressful time. Nothing brings up people’s stuff like holidays…and family time. The holidays can be a particularly challenging time because of the associations and obligations we often face – buying gifts, receiving, making plans, attending work parties, spending time with family, loved ones who have departed. The holidays make us think more deeply and often times react more strongly.

Many of us are caught up in being hurt and trying to regain a sense of self that someone who has hurt us seems to have taken away. If this holiday season you are contemplating forgiving someone who has hurt you but you are afraid that doing so will leave you feeling weak and vulnerable. Consider this interpretation, that forgiveness is an act of strength, empowerment and self- love. It means that you value your peace of mind more than hanging onto a resentment.

If it yourself who you are contemplating forgiving….why not….go ahead; you will be a better friend, father, sister, brother or mother if you are spiritually well!

The fat of the nut of the African Shea tree (vitellaria paradoxa) is the source of Shea butter. The traditional use of the butter is to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars and stretch marks, and to ease a variety of skin irritations, such as psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. Shea butter is a rich source of moisture, vitamins and fat for your skin and hair. In its natural state, shea butter is a thick, yellowish butter that liquefies at body temperature. Natural anti-inflammatory properties make it a nourishing choice for the scalp, helping to improve your hair growth and health.

Shea Butter can provide improvement in all the conditions listed below. As you use this multi-purpose butter, you are likely to discover additional uses!

• Dry skin

Q: I have very thick, curly hair that is frizzy and dry. You name it I have had it done in my battle to fight the frizz, chemical straightening, perming, Keratin Treatments, etc. – with no luck.

A: Most women with curls and coils have tried tirelessly to straighten their hair and ended up with a frizzy mess, to put it gently. We all know that frizz can be the plague of curly hair; whether you straighten your hair once a day, once a week or once in a blue moon, the most important thing to remember is to keep your locks well moisturized. Healthy hair frizzes less, grows faster and develops less split ends. Taking good care of your hair can make your job easier.

Natural Hold Spray Gel is your key to hydrated bouncy hair. It’s a water-based, alcohol free styling agent. Lightly mist hair with Natural Hold Spray Gel prior to heat styling. As you apply heat from your flat iron, the water in the product turns to steam and infuses moisture back into your hair while leaving it soft and springy with a light hold.

Heat protection, moisture infuser, and holding power all in one!

Surviving airport security is a traveler’s rite of passage: shuffling through the line, removing your shoes, stripping off all accessories and placing your laptop in a separate bin in preparation for scanning. The goal is to make it through this final step of security with no hiccups, which is all determined by what is in your carry on. There are 3 components to sashaying through TSA quickly – trust me, I am an expert at traveling…and hair care! *wink*

1. Pack Strategically
   No one wants their personal belongings to be hand inspected, this happens when item are unable to clearly be identified via x-ray scanning. Avoid this by packing strategically in layers; layer your electronics and beauty appliances together in a layer between your clothing. This will keep the wires from becoming one tangled, random mess that may resemble some sort of bomb…take the time to neatly pack.
2. The Liquid Lingo
   Here is the breakdown: any liquid should be kept in a 3.4-ounce bottle or smaller; you’re only allowed as many bottles as can fit in one quart-size, clear Ziplock bag or clear pouch. Bypass the time and aggravation of purchasing small empty containers to fill with product from your beauty bar, our Jane Carter Solution Travel Kit is all you need to take care of your hair during your Holiday travels. It includes:
   1. Moisture Nourishing Shampoo 2 oz.
   2. Hair Nourishing Serum ampule
   3. Hair Nourishing Cream .25 oz.
   4. Scalp Nourishing Serum ampule
   5. Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner 2 oz.
   6. Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner 2 oz.
   7. Condition & Sculpt 2 oz.
   8. Wrap & Roll 2 oz.
   9. Nourish & Shine 1 oz. 

      Layer your Travel Kit at the top on your bag along with any other beauty products you have packed.

3. Checkpoint Approved
   Save time by investing in a checkpoint approved laptop. To help streamline the security process and better protect laptops, TSA recently encouraged manufacturers to design bags that will produce a clear and unobstructed image of the laptop when undergoing X-ray screening, allowing laptops to remain in bags for screening.

You’ll breeze through security… don’t forget your shoes!

Love Your Hair,
