As a product junkie and blogger, I’ve been very aware of Jane Carter Solution products – especially since they are available at places I frequent like Target and Vitamin Shoppe. I never made the leap to try out any of the Jane Carter Solution products, primarily because I wasn’t entirely convinced that they would work for my 3b/c hair.

Imagine my surprise when my boyfriend’s mom told me that Incredible Curls was her new staple, and I had to try it. So I caved in. We took advantage of the Jane Carter Solution online sale, and while I waited for mine to arrive, I went ahead to Target and purchased a tube.

I told you I was a product junkie. Was my “while I wait” purchase justified? Keep reading to find out.

Ingredient Analysis

  • Shea Butter: Emollient fat from the nut of the East or West African shea nut tree used to moisturize and soften hair.

  • Guar Gum: Legume-based thickener and conditioner that does not build up on the hair.

  • Ceteareth 20: Emulsifier derived from fatty alcohols, used primarily to mix oil/water/alcohols, and help evenly disperse ingredients in a product.

  • Jojoba Seed Oil: Emollient that coats the hair shaft (its molecular structure prevents it from penetrating the cuticle”> and aids in providing slip and protection. Jojoba oil is also the closest in composition to the sebum that our scalp naturally produces.

Availability

I’ve seen Incredible Curls on CurlMart and on shelves at Target, but I purchased my particular tube at www.janecartersolution.com during one of her recent sales.

Affordability

On CurlMart Incredible Curls is currently available for $15.00 for an 8oz tube, while the same size product on the Jane Carter Solution website is $20. Considering my innate heavy-handedness, I’d feel a little better about a 12oz tube of product for the $20 price tag.
