Common Winter Hair Problems-
Winter Problem # 1 Hair & Scalp Dryness
Winter Solution: There is less moisture in the air during the winter months. Dry heat, and wearing hats and scarves tends to make the problem worse and dries out your hair, skin and scalp. Shampooing your hair to often can add to the problem. It’s important to mist your hair with a water based leave in conditioner daily to re-hydrate your hair and scalp.
Revitalizing Leave In Conditioner or Quench is a great daily re-hydrator.
If you need to shampoo daily because you exercise or perspire often, you can dilute your shampoo with lots of water so that it does not strip all of your natural oils. Hydrating Invigorating Shampoo is great for that purpose.
You can also co-wash, which means cleansing with a surfactant free cleanser that rids your hair and scalp of perspiration, oils and hair products. Creamy Conditioning Cleanser is great.
Addtionally, you can rinse your hair with super warm water and add your favorite conditioner to add moisture back into your dry hair and scalp. Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner is a great option for this.
If your scalp is excessively dry, you can use Scalp Nourishing Serum to seal in moisture. If your hair is straight, using it in the evening and shampooing it out in the morning is great. If your hair is dry you can use it as a leave in scalp nourisher daily.
Winter Problem # 2 Flat Fly Away Hair & Static Electricity
Winter Solution: Flat fly away hair and static electricity happens as a result of a lack of humidity. Natural Hold Spray Gel is a water based spray with great hold. It’s great for root lift and reducing frizz throughout the day as well as fixing ‘hat hair’ and refreshing your style. It’s also important to seal in the moisture that you add to your hair with Hair Nourishing Serum or a small amount of Nourish & Shine.
Winter Problem # 3 Split Ends
Winter Solution: There is not really any way to fix split ends. You can use Condition & Sculpt for wash and wear hair to reduce the look of frizzy split ends. You can also flat iron with Quench or Revitalizing Leave In Conditioner to help seal your split ends reducing the appearance of dryness and frizz. The best solution for split ends is to trim your hair often as well as choosing the right product which will significantly help to reduce the appearance of split ends.

Jane’s statement:
“There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about hydrating your hair.
Hydrating your hair properly prevents unnecessary breakage, dryness, dullness and frizz. Just as water is necessary to hydrate your skin, it is also just as important for your hair. Hydrated hair is more porous and has a greater ability to absorb nutrients.”- Jane Carter, CEO/Founder of Jane Carter Solution

Jane’s discussion with Tracy Hopkins Editor of SheKnows.com
What motivated you to start your own product line?
I became allergic to products that were available in the market that we used in my salon.
There were no products available in the market that I could use on all my clients.
I’m a colorist and my clients were everybody, from high lift blondes to locks, all hair types and textures.
What is the best way(s) to keep natural hair for women of color healthy?
Scalp care is vital to healthy hair, some of the most important factors are shampooing and deep conditioning often.
If that tends to be drying then the alternative option is to co-wash. I also recommend daily hydration with a water based product. Mist your hair daily with Moisture Mist, Quench or Revitalizing Leave In Conditioner and seal in the moisture with Nourish & Shine.
or Hair Nourishing Serum.
Alternatively, you could use one of our cream based moisturizers (Hair Nourishing Cream or Hydrate Creamy Leave In Styling Smoother) that contain both water and oil.
If you have thinning hair, is it really possible to “re-grow” your hair? And if so, how?
It depends on the reason why your hair is thinning. Thinning hair could be hormonal, or as a result of stress, Postpartum hair loss, as a result of having surgery, or Alopecia. If you can address why the hair is thinning then you have a greater chance of finding the remedy and re-growing the hair.
One of the things Grow Great Hair does is to lengthen the Anagen or growth cycle stage of your hair. The longer your hair stays in the Anagen stage the stronger the hair is, it allows for better hair anchoring so that there is less hair loss. Grow Great Hair also has a DHT blocker. DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is a derivative of testosterone, it sends a signal to the papilla where your hair is anchored to grow slowly or to stop growing. Scalp renew is another great product to use for thinning hair because it cleanses the follicle of DHT or medication that may build up in the follicle and cause hair loss or thinning.
