We remember to care for our skin during the blistering hot summer weather, we tend to overlook the damage that sun causes to color-treated hair. Don’t let your gorgeous color-treated mane fade in the sun and heat; Jane Carter Solution has exactly what you need to keep your color vibrant!

The 3-B Regimen: Color-Treated or Relaxed Hair for Fine to Medium Hair Textures moisturizes and conditions hair; products included are:

• Moisture Nourishing Shampoo 8 oz.
• Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner 8 oz.
• Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner 8 oz.
• Hair Nourishing Serum 2 oz.
• Hair Nourishing Cream (an ultra-light cream)

If you feel that your hair’s moisture has already been compromised by the warmer temperature, consider adding Restore Creamy Conditioning Cleanser to infuse hair with essential oils, the perfect product for the days when you co-wash instead of traditional washing.

Hair needs to be protected from chlorine, sea salt, and the sun. Chlorine and salt water will dry, discolor, and damage your hair – chlorine binds to your hair, filling in gaps in the hair shaft while the minerals in salt water can make your hair brassy and brittle. The results? SEVERE DEHYDRATION!

The following steps will protect your hair until you get home or back to your hotel room if vacationing.

1. Before diving in, completely wet hair with water and Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner.
2. Apply a thin layer of Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner.
3. Dive in!
4. Immediately rinse hair thoroughly with water and rehydrate with Quench until you are able to shampoo and condition later that same day.

After a day of sun and swimming, I recommend doing the following to take care of your hair and scalp:

• Shampoo twice with Creamy Conditioning Cleaner
• Follow with Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner under a conditioning cap and apply heat for deeper conditioning
• Rehydrate with Moisture Mist and style as usual.
• Remember to moisturize daily with Hair Nourishing Cream or Nourish & Shine to restore and maintain moisture balance (for your hair and your skin).

The goal is to hydrate, hydrate, and then hydrate some more! It’s imperative to steer clear of synthetic oils such as mineral and/or petrolatum oil, as they further dehydrate hair. Also avoid products that contain drying alcohol and sulfates. Remember, hydration is essential in protecting your crowning glory!

Love your Hair,

Steaming is a great deep conditioning treatment for hair. Steam treatments are especially effective for coarse natural, locked, or twisted hair which tends to be even drier than relaxed hair. Steaming improves circulation by invigorating the scalp as well as opening the hair follicles and shaft encouraging moisture absorption. The open hair shaft is able to absorb the conditioning treatment which facilitates healthy hair growth.

Follow these simple Jane Carter Solution Steaming Steps twice a month to promote a healthy scalp and shiny hair:

• Wash hair with Moisture Nourishing Shampoo or Hydrating Invigorating Shampoo (SLS-Free)
• Saturate hair with Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner
• Apply a plastic cap and sit under a hooded dryer or steam cap for 30 minutes
• Rinse with cool water
• Apply a dime size amount of Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner and spray with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner
• Style as desired

Love Your Hair,
