So far, my journey to natural has been quite interesting. As I mentioned, I’ve been dealing with a lot of breakage which I think is mainly linked to post pregnancy hormones. The doc says it’s quite normal. You would think I’d be super depressed. Okay I can’t lie, there have been times when I wanted to curl into a fetal position and hibernate until my hair grows back. But that wouldn’t be realistic. Dealing with hair loss isn’t fun, but finding products to help my hair return to its natural bounce is. In fact, my hubby calls me a mad scientist because I’m always trying new things.
I’ll admit that I have been experimenting a lot. But how else am I supposed to find the right products for my hair?
I’ve been researching various natural hair care lines and someone mentioned Jane Carter Solution. Aside from being introduced to Nourish and Shine a few years ago, I haven’t tried anything else from the company. After doing some research, I decided to give Jane Carter a try. I couldn’t wait to try out Jane Carter’s Scalp Nourishing Serum, Hair Nourishing Serum, the Revitalizing Leave-in Condition, and Wrap & Roll. Here’s what I think about each of them.
Scalp Nourishing Serum claims to heal and soothe the scalp using natural and essential oils, botanicals, and vitamins. It’s suppose to reduce itching, flaking, and dandruff. It has cedar wood in it which is an anti-inflammatory. I remember Jane Carter saying (in her video blog) great hair begins with a healthy scalp, and that’s something I’ve been seriously lacking. I applied a few drops onto my scalp with the dropper. I immediately noticed he difference in the appearance of my scalp. After a few days, I had no more flakes!
Hair Nourishing Serum contains thirteen essential oils, vitamins, and botanicals. It’s supposed to deliver nutrients into the hair, de-frizz, and stop breakage. My biggest problem with any kind of oil is that it tends to leave my hair feeling weighed down. Rather than have a helmet head, I usually avoid it all together which has been a major mistake on my part. In addition to having dry scalp, eliminating oils from my hair regimen has also contributed to my hair chipping away. I love that both serums are light. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy at all. I even love the smell. It reminds me of being at a spa getting an aromatherapy facial. It’s so relaxing.
The Revitalizing Leave-in Conditioner was made to protect against heat styling and sun damage. It’s supposed to be great for flat ironing and/or roller setting fine hair. I’m not sure if I’m sold on flat ironing my roots. I know a lot of peeps say that it’s a good alternative to make that slow transition to natural. But, I want to limit the amount of heat I put on my hair. It’s not to say that I won’t ever try it. I’d rather just use it to keep my roots soft to limit breakage for now. So far, it does the trick!
Wrap & Roll is a light foaming wrap designed to allow for a smooth and easy wrap; never leaving your hair dry and hard. It claims to also leave your mane looking shiny, soft, and bouncy. I’m not a huge fan of setting lotion or mouse in general. I applied some to my hair before roller setting. I found that it didn’t leave my hair as soft as I like it. But, it did cut my drying time in half!
Overall, I give Jane Carter Solution two thumbs up. There’s something for all hair types which is a huge plus in my book. As I continue my journey to return to my natural roots, I’ll be using more products from this line.
