The sun is shining and the temperature is rising, spring is here and I can almost taste summer – hot days, sultry nights, stickiness in the air…and unruly coils. (eeeek!) What is the perfect style to combat humidity and sweltering temperatures? Rod and straw sets.

Rod and straw sets are extremely low maintenance hairstyles; it gives your hair a break from the regular styling, combing and brushing manipulation your hair encounters from daily styling. They are also easier on weak or compromised edges than braided and tension producing styles. Sets also last longer than braid and twist outs with minimal daily maintenance. Follow these tips to set your hair and for a daily rod/straw set regimen:

• wash and condition hair with your favorite Jane Carter Solution products
• mist hair with Hydrate Quench to lock in moisture and help combat frizz
• Saturate hair with Natural Twist Out Foam (mix with Condition & Sculpt for a firmer hold)
• Remove rods, spritz with Hydrate Seal & Shine and finger through curls

To maintain, each morning re-coil curls with a bit of Nourish & Shine on your fingers, as needed.

Fluff and go!

How do you care for your hair at night? You may not know the importance of caring for your hair at night, it’s just as important as protecting it from the harsh elements or from styling and primping.

You might care for your hair well during the daytime hours, but you might not give enough thought to caring for your hair while asleep. For most women of color, tying up our hair before bed is a necessary task. Naturally textured hair is already prone to tangles and leaving it unarmed at night, basically gorilla style, is inviting the possibility of even more tangles. While sleeping, you toss, you turn, and it is likely that your hair will get matted and tangled in the process. Again, leading to more sustained damage. Wrapping your hair at night can help your hair to retain moisture and minimize breakage!

Make sure your hair is moisturized before you go to sleep…dryness is the enemy of hair, especially natural hair. If you don’t have a silk pillow case you should be tying your hair down with a silk scarf; loosely pull up your hair into a bun, re-twist, re-braid, pin curl it and tie a silk scarf over it. Nightcaps and scarves are especially useful if you have curlier styles. These help to hold the curls while you sleep and prevent them from rubbing against one another and knotting up.

Some days the task of washing and styling hair can feel like a mammoth undertaking. But rushing through the process can be detrimental to our hair. This is especially true for the detangling process.

It is important to always protect our hair from damage and be gentle when handling our curls. Detangling our hair when we don’t have the time or patience can often result in tugging at knots, leading to breakage. To avoid this choose a day to detangle when you are least busy. Most importantly if you don’t feel like doing your hair don’t force yourself; throw it in a quick and easy protective style like a bun and leave it for another day when you’re not so tired. Try Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner; this lightweight spray will assist you with detangling your hair with ease, leaving hair soft and silky.

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

Transitioning is about learning to accept and adore the texture you were born with!

First, you must accept and understand that it takes time to transition…this is no overnight process ladies. Natural hair is on-trend, but it takes a little more than just the desire to look fabulous – naturally. It’s a journey full of highs and lows, emotions and “interesting” hair days. You just need to remember that transitioning hair is more susceptible to breakage, m-o-i-s-t-u-r-e is essential on your journey!

Follow these tips:
• Keep your scalp clean.
• Deep condition weekly.
• Avoid harsh combing or brushing; detangle with conditioner while hair is wet.
• Hydrate from root to tip.
• Limit heat usage.
• Textured styles are your best friend.
• Trim end every 4-6 weeks.
Let your strands do their own thing during this process and control with a textured, protective style; try as many as you can, a girl can never have too many go to styles in your bag of tricks. Don’t forget, your job is simply to provide support. (and moisture!!!)
