Category: Children’s Hair

Children suffer from dry scalp just like adults, especially if products are being used on their hair that strips its natural oils. The fix is easy with Jane Carter Solution products:

• Mist hair and scalp with water (water = moisture)
• Spritz Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner thoroughly onto hair, starting with ends and working your way up to the top of the head
• Apply Nourish & Shine (or Scalp Nourishing Serum) to scalp to retain the moisture; if their hair is in cornrows, make sure to regularly rehydrate the hair and scalp

When it comes to caring for a child’s hair there are a lot of things that come to mind. They are “tender headed”, they won’t keep still, they will cry and flinch or they will fall asleep while you are creating sometimes very intricate styles. If you’re a parent struggling with your child’s hair, you aren’t alone! In order to make their experience an ouch free and pleasant one, there are a couple of things you can do to help create happy, healthy memories when it comes to little ones and their hair:

• Moisturizing is the key: kids’ hair can get extremely dry. From wearing wool hats in the winter, to going to swimming lessons, to a general rough and tumble lifestyle, so many things can zap the moisture right out of your little one’s hair.

• Detangling doesn’t have to be torture: never detangle dry hair! The keys to detangling are tools + technique. Use a wide-tooth comb to gently but thoroughly detangle hair section by section, and if you have extra time, use your fingers as a comb to remove any tiny knots or tangles.

• Don’t ignore the scalp: Don’t layer your child’s scalp with petroleum based oils and greases. These products can sit on top of the scalp without providing any nourishing properties.

A little extra TLC will help with styling ease.

African-American and biracial curly natural hair requires extra attention to maintain its beauty. I know I say this all the time but here I go again…M-O-I-S-T-U-R-E is key! Dry hair lacks elasticity; causing hair to be brittle, hard, and frizzy. Hydrating the hair is the best thing you can do to keep it strong, healthy, and shiny while preventing breakage.

Using a daily moisturizer, such as Hair Nourishing Cream in his or her hair care regimen will also soften curls and ease combabilty!

Many young African American and biracial children dread getting their hair styled, some run for cover to avoid getting it done. The fact that they are running is a clear indication that the way their hair is being “done” is painful, making the process stressful for all involved when it doesn’t have to be.

They key to making the process less painful for your little one and preventing breakage is MOISTURE. I know we’ve discussed this before but I want to remind you that moisture means water, not oil!

1. Shampoo, condition, and rinse making sure that hair is left damp.
2. Spray and saturate the hair with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner.
3. Use dime-sized amount of Hair Nourishing Cream, working into hair from root to tip.
4. Part hair into 4-6 sections and secure with snag-free ponytail holders.
5. One section at a time, hold hair at the roots and begin combing thru the ends with a wide tooth comb. After the ends are tangle-free, release your hold and comb from root to tip.
6. Repeat until all sections/the entire head is done.

Voila, untangled hair with no tears!
