Miss Jessie’s Product Review

I bet you didn’t even know you were waiting for a product review, did you? Well it seems many of my readers have been!

Since I went natural, the drumbeats have slowly been building. When I started Afrobella back in August, they almost became deafening. Must. Try. Miss. Jessie’s. Curly. Pudding! And I wanted to so, so much. But like I said then, playing with my money is like playing with my emotions. $58 is a LOT to shell out for a hair product. Even if it’s one that’s got the Oprah seal of approval.

Miss Jessie’s has become the holy grail of curly hair products for many a well-to-do afrobella, and I’ll admit, I was skeptical. But the drumbeats kept going strong. Of all of the 234 posts I’ve written so far, my one little Miss Jessie’s post has gotten the most reader feedback. Months after I’ve written it, they keep coming. 73 comments and counting, from bellas who have tried it and liked it, hated it, want to dish dirt about the salon, or came out transformed by the experience. I didn’t know WHAT to make of the disparity of comments. But recently, I was lucky enough to get my hands on all four Miss Jessie’s products. Now that I know the score for myself, I’m gonna break them down for you as raw and honest as you’ve come to expect.

Finally I understand why these items are so darn expensive — you’re paying for a full, heavy 16 oz of product. That’s a pound of hair goop! They’re salon size, with detailed instructions included. I use a LOT of hair product, so usually I go through jars of moisturizer very quickly. But my experience so far with Miss Jessie’s definitely proves that less is more when it comes to this stuff. And having started to use them, I think I’m gonna have enough to last me till 2008.

The first product I tried was the Baby Buttercreme, which costs $58. I will definitely be passing this jar along to my niece Dominique when she comes to visit in May! I think it’s exactly what her mom’s been looking for — a super hydrating hair product that leaves hair soft, moisturized, satisfied, and manageable. The scent is my favorite of the four, it’s like mild vanilla frosting. I like the baby buttercreme, but my mistake may have been in using too much at once; it left my curls limp and heavy, albeit very moisturized. But just a dab when my hair’s still wet from the shower is all I need for a day of moist, well behaved, deliciously scented hair. It’s perfect for parents who need something to make their little afrobellas’ hair behave before you pack them off to school.

I can’t decide which is my favorite Miss Jessie’s product — Curly Buttercreme, or Curly Meringue. I love the results from both! The meringue is a heavier product, and smells like lemon creme. The Buttercreme is a thick, mint-scented moisturizing cream that slathers on thick and leaves my curls super-moist and heavy. It has a strong scent that eventually fades, and it also has a refreshing minty tingle on the scalp. But both products really worked to bring out the existing curl pattern in my hair.

Each tub of Miss Jessie’s comes covered in teeny text that gives directions for their best styling methods. Seriously, my friend Jessica spent like 15 minutes just reading the jar!

Buttercreme is perfect for two-strand twists, puffs, and wash and go styles, and it’s definitely more of a moisturizing hairdress.

Meringue is a styling product that comes with detailed fingerstyling and shingling instructions, which I definitely plan to try when I have the time. Those processes could take ages with the amount of hair I have! Just to comb out my hair takes a while, then to part it all, liberally apply product, Stretch it, position it, THEN sit under a table top dryer and completely dry it? Oh, man. That’s more than a three hour tour.

How I’ve been using this stuff is a shortened method that I just tried because I was in kind of a hurry — combed my hair out in the shower, then when my hair was still very damp, I applied Curly Meringue and stretched out my curls as best I could. Then I was gonna be late for work so I had to go! But I left my windows partially down on my commute, so my hair dried. Sort of. These products REALLY keep your hair moist, to the point that that I touched my hair mid-day, and it still felt kind of cold and more moist than I expected. But I couldn’t be happier with the curl results.

My hair texture tends to be very dry, and my hair usually tends to frizz out, leaving my defined curls with lots of loose halo hairs emerging. But both the Curly Buttercreme and the Meringue made my curls behave, and the weight of the product made for guaranteed curlage and touchability. Which is what makes me not love Curly Pudding as much as I thought I would.

As arguably the most well-known product in the line, I waited last to try the pudding. I expected to fall in love the hardest with this lilac colored, minty hairdress. But surprisingly, no.

Don’t get me wrong, Curly Pudding defines my curls better than almost anything else I’ve tried so far. But it makes my hair really crunchy. My curls dried into perfect spirals, and if you’re going somewhere fancy, styling your hair for a night out on the town or for a wedding or some special event — you can’t go wrong with curly pudding. But I don’t use gel or mousse for this very reason — I like my hair to be touchable AND defined. Curly Pudding made it picture perfect, but I won’t use it on the daily.

And the bottom line is, Miss Jessie’s is a really good line of hair products, and if your hair is dry and unruly, you definitely should check them out. BUT, and this is a big but… it’s not a miracle worker. If your hair doesn’t already have naturally defined ringlets, slapping on some Miss Jessie’s won’t transform kinks into curls.

Those before and after photos you’ve been admiring all are after hours of styling processes, some of which involve chemicals. So if you’re planning to purchase and you have very kinky, very thick hair, don’t expect your hair to look like Rachel True’s after using Miss Jessie’s. Your hair will be nourished and sated, but unless you take the time to shingle, finger curl, and dry your hair, the results won’t be as dramatic as the befores and afters.

Everyone’s big beef with Miss Jessie’s is the PRICE. Few of us can afford to drop a minimum of $38 on a product that isn’t guaranteed to work. Well, there’s good news in that department. Miss Jessie’s will soon be unveiling 2 oz travel sizes that range from $7 to $9! So that’s a GREAT way for curious afrobellas to give the products a try and decide which one works best for them.

Stay tuned to find out when they hit the shelves, and to hear about some NEW Miss Jessie’s products set to debut soon. And keep reading for a big interview with the one and only Titi Branch!

    I LOVE ALL THE PRODUCTS -especially Baby Buttercreme – it is the only thing I use in my baby’s hair and it makes her hair so soft and manageable….I say since there are trial sizes available that you should defintely give it a try – again, every product is not for everyone but just reading reviews you will never know what the product can do for you until you try..YES,,I am a product junkie if you saw my bathroom you would think that 6 other women lived w/me – but I live w/a 9 month old baby..LOL

  2. jazmin says:

    For those who think the shipping is a bit high, naturallycurly.com is also offering the 2oz sizes and for priority shipping its only 4.99!!

  3. bellafan says:

    I just got my curly pudding in the mail! It is 8 oz and I must say that the packageing is alittle different then the 16oz but its all good.Once I got it in the mail I went stright to the bathroom to wash my 3c hair type. I used pantene relaxed& natural shampoo and conditioner it made my hair soft and I brushed it with a soft brush w/ conditoner in it and the I rinsed and put on the curly pudding and I was amazing!!! This is by far the best thing I have ever tried my curls are so defined. this is my HG!

  4. Thanks for the post. I have one question though. I would’ve emailed it to you but I couldn’t find the address. What do you mean by shingle? Where can I see what that style looks like and how would I create the style?

  5. DivineNubienne says:

  6. Loni says:

    Thank you for the overview. I was on my way to buy the product and you have helped me figure out which one to try.

    Thanks

  7. [...] I might as well just out myself as a Miss Jessie’s stan right now. I had real reservations about the price point way back when, but having tried the products, I know now that there’s a real reason that post that I wrote back in August 2006 has over 100 comments of bellas testifying. Now that Miss Jessie’s has come out with smaller sizes, I have no complaints. I can wrap my mind around a $9 2 oz jar of product, and for the Curly Pudding, that 2 oz can go a longer way than you might think. Not so sure about stretching a jar of Rapid Recovery, though. I have a pretty thick mane, and that recommended “golf ball size dollop” sometimes needs a little extra heft. And $48 is a lot to shell out for a product if you’re a bella on a budget. So here’s a little Thanksgiving cheer for you all. It’s the Miss Jessie’s Rapid Recovery giveaway! [...]

    I have recently started using Miss Jessies products in the past month. I have the Curly Pudding and Curly ButterCream and I love these two products. My hair is naturally curly and thick and was previously VERY dry. I normally do a shake-and-go.. Wet in the shower, apply product while wet and shake my hair to seperate my curls. i have been natural for 10 months and this makes my hair look alot longer than previously. Once my hair has dried, the secret is to use a blow-dryer to really elongate and stretch my curls.. I just ordered the Curly Meringue so I cant wait to try the third product. I recommend this product for those of us who have a natural curl pattern. My cousin’s natural hair is more corse than mine and the products do not work well for her..

  11. Heather B. says:

    I’ve been working on a hair post (well, working on it in my head) for quite awhile because I always get comments in real life and in blog life on my hair and how I got it to ‘do that’, etc. Great reviews. And I am particularly fond of Curly Meringue and Curly Pudding. I know that Curly Meringue is best for wet hair but I like it a lot better than Curly Buttercreme and for some reason it does wonders for my hair even when dry. It holds the curl better than Curly Buttercreme which make it feel a lot more greasy.

    Anyway to each her own and I have had ZERO problems with any Miss Jessie’s products. Totally worth the money.

  12. Monique says:

    Bella,

    How do I find out what type of hair I have? I’ve heard other women say they have 2b/2c hair from UTube and other places.

    Thank you!

    Curly pudding works! I use it alot during the summer because of the heat. I keep the curly pudding locked up during the winter because it takes too long to dry. I would never use this product on a daily basis because it causes build up and believe me it starts to feel like glue and that aint pretty ladies. My roommates hair began to shed really bad when she used it for a straight month! I say it’s best used when you seat under a dryer so that you can get more defined curls. My friend used this and nothing really happened to her long natural hair. It gave her waves, but no curls! This product works best on hair that has curls, because this product will not give you curls it will only enhance and define them. The price is too high, and I’m still on the first bottle I bhought last summer!

  14. BMW says:

    Oh yeah, I’m not crazy about the rest of the products. I can get the same results by using my regular products.

  15. I am in the process of trying the Miss Jessie’s products. I tried the Curly Buttercream for a twist out and it looked nice and shiny but not really moisturized. I used the baby buttercream to moisturize daily. Everyone liked my hair and i was able to rock it for four days so the Buttercream is pretty good. The Curly Pudding is a big upset. I will take my Kinky Curly Curling Custard anyday over this mess. At least it is natural and won’t dry my hair out. It gave me a curly fro but nothing impressive. Next is the meringue that you like to so much, I am going to do a twist out and pray for decent results. take care and check out my youtube page for results: http://www.youtube.com/user/lyndaespratley

  16. Shemeka says:

    I know what the problem is – it seems all these product companies are slapping the name “Kinky” on their products and don’t know what the hell kinky is! so, let’s define, since now everyone has kinky hair all of a sudden. Before trying ANY product, you have to determine which kinky you are: White girl kinky, spanish girl kinky, or black girl kinky. there is a big difference in these kinkys, since two of the catagories is NOT KINKY AT ALLLLL! and because of this greed, i have to go out and waste money cause some company wants to sell products for EVERYONE when there is no such thing. there is no ONE product for EVERYONE. these companies need to pick their target customers, and handle the products as such.

  17. Shemeka says:

    Now, i said all of that to say this: last night i got soooo fed up with my KINKY, nappy, dry, coiled, short mane, that i went to Ricky’s and brought Miss Jesse’s products. i was originally in there to get Hair Rules products (i ordered it online before i realized they sold it in the stores locally, but got so desparate last night, i went to buy it in the store). while there i remembered reading about Miss Jesses’s on the same site i read about Hair Rules. so i figured, no sense in buying Hair Rules in the store and also having it come in the mail, without confirming if it works or not. so i decided to get something else besides Hair Rules to compare it to. well i got the Miss Jesse’s shampoo, the Culy Pudding and the Merigue. Now, i just washed it this morning, the shampoo is great as far as i’m concern (since my hair is black girl nappy and kinky and dry and this shampoo cleaned it without stripping it, and softened it, gave it a nice smell). then i put in the pudding before running out the door. well, i must say, i am happy with the results i got so far. why? because nothing else did what this did up to this point – which is something at least. I haven’t found a product i like at all in 33 years, which is why i always wore weaves up until a year ago. anyway, i like the Pudding because it actually gave me a tight coily curl look. i have been touching it every few minutes or so and yes it is a little stiff, so i can’t wait to use the merigue when i get home today, i have been following along and know that will soften it up a bit and moisterize it. so i’m not sure why some of you didn’t have any results. i’m not sure what kind of hair you have, but i can assure you it’s no where near as nappy as mine is. black girl nappy that is. might as well get that out the way, since i’m sure everyone will start saying they have nappy hair in the near future. so, like most people on here or every other site trying to find products that work, good luck and keep in mind you can’t really tell by the wording on the product, or word of mouth for that matter, since you wont know which catagory of KINKY their products work on. Also, i’m still looking forward to using the Hair Rules products as well. as long as something does something to my hair, i look at it like that’s a milestone.

  18. Shemeka says:

    sigh, and if there is any companies tuned it to this review, or if you are thinking about selling hair products PLEASE do yourself and your customers a favor, if you care about quality faithful customers that is, please catagorize your products for white girls, spanish girls and black girls. why? BECAUSE OUR HAIR IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT! us nappy mommas don’t mind heavy, thick, rich, strong smelling products in our hair. I THOUGHT THAT’S WHAT THE POINT WAS????? some of us don’t really like perfumes and colognes and to have a nice strong smell coming from our hair wouldn’t be a bother at all. (remember Muslim oils and heavy lotions, etc… THAT’S WHAT WE LIKE) we would just have to find the right scent and ta da. you have a permanent customer. whatever happend to quality vs. quanity.

  19. Shemeka says:

    and since i’m in a “venting about product mode”, can everyone STOP PUTTING THE WORDS “SHEA BUTTER” ON YOUR PRODUCTS!? you don’t know what the hell shea butter is, and who SHOULD be using it. and its very annoying buying silly little lotions that state its in there, when they forgot to state “just a smudge of it”. put something else on the product box like Aloe or something. shea butter is from Africa. it also works very good in repairing and restoring our skin. so, use another marketing technique please, we don’t have that many products for melanin skin as it is now. thank you.

  20. Shemeka says:

    whatever happen to keeping business small and intimate, for us by us? when the wrong hands get a whole of what works for us, they start marketing it to EVERYONE and then those same people are the ones complaining about the too greasy, or too thick, etc… WHICH IS WHAT WE NEED – then next thing you know we have a watered down product. so…..please, keep it in the family, if you know what i mean.

  21. Twyla says:

    Has anyone out there tried Etae products? I love them. They are all natural and they really nourish the hair.
    Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding did not work for my combo texture. I don’t have any kinks, just curly roots (4A), with very straight ends (2B) and some wavy (3C) in-between hair in some sections.
    A little heat goes a long way, whether blown dried or under a dome dryer.
    This has led me to believe that the only way for me to achieve curly afros and spirals in to buy some hair and add it on.

  22. Bailey Jr says:

    Miss Jessies! Miss Jessies!!Miss Jessies! You are right Afrobella! This product is hot! Finally something we can use that has us in mind! Not knocking pantene and clairol, but Titi and Miko are making ground in tailoring products professionally toward our natural patterns and simultaneously making gains in an Industry that abuses our consumer dollar! Lets get use to our new looks! Oh and if you are having trouble using the products correctly.. Study first! Complain later! oh and here come’s Kinky Curly!!!

  23. mystery says:

    I have really thick and course hair and am thinking of using her products…thanks for the review!!

  24. hikitty says:

    After more than 10 years of using crappy hair products from walgreens, cvs etc., I am so happy to have found and started to use Miss Jessie products. My hair is naturally curly 3C and due to my past uses of cheap hair gels (nexxus, Aussie or whatever mentioned the words “curl refiner” in them)my hair is suffering from extreme dryness. I’ve seen the Miss Jessie products before at Rickys NYC, but was releuctant to buy since I;ve used so many products before and not get the results that I want, plus I was afraid to cough up the cash and then not liek the product. After doing tons of research online, reading reviews and checking out the Miss Jessie home site, I decided to buy – and I’m so glad I did. The money that I spent on it was well worth it (I saved up some cash from my tax return). I bought the Rapid Recovery Treatment – which is amazing-very thick, creamy and it really feels like great moisture on the hair. I bought the Curl Pudding which is also great. I really don;t mind the smell – it actually smells great to me. And the whole shingling process is something that I’ve been doing way before I’ve even seen it on the Miss Jessie site so applying it was no big deal for me. After using the pudding, my curls were beautiful, soft the pudding does make it a little stiff but I like that because that just makes the curls last days longer. However, Since my hair is suffering from extreme dryness, the pudding didn’t really moisturize the crown of my head or my front hairline (the dryest parts of my hair, most likely caused by years of using hair gel). So I also bought the Buttercreme which is AMAZING! This stuff really moisturizes the hair. I do not mind the smell or the greasiness because this is what MY hair needs. I was so happy after I put it on, I just can’t stop looking at it in the mirror or touching it. My boyfriend also noticed how great and hydrated my hair looked and he loves the smell. I’ve read through most of the reviews above and I can understand the frustrations of some. But I really think if you go natural, you need to do research on what products you are goign to use on your hair. And also, make sure you know what your HAIR TYPE is. I think that is crucial b/c a lot of girls (and guys) go out and buy something that won’t necessarily work on their hair or it won’t give them the result that they want. I think that if you’re at the 4 level hair type, start with the Rapid Recovery Treatment and use the Buttercreme to lock in moisture. Once you fell that your hair is better moisturized, use the pudding and use the shingling process. It really doesn’t take long, it takes patience. Natural hair takes a lot of patience and trial and error. Believe me, I’ve been extremely frustrated with it and on the brink of straigtening. But I love my hair. If you’re still iffy b/c of the cost, buy the smaller bottles. But another thing is that the cream are so thick, you really don’t use as much as you think you would. So it’ll end up lasting longer.
    I love the Miss Jessie products!

  25. Nye's Mama says:

    First, let me say that I love this website. Very informative. I have a question for you though. What products do you recommend for a 10 month old infant? I have a daughter who has beautiful curly hair but when it gets dry…its so hard to comb. I want to use something 100% organic/natural so its not harsh or damaging. Any suggestions?

  26. MARQUITA says:

    I LOVE MISS JESSIE’S PRODUCTS.IF THEY ARE USED PROPERLY AND IN SMALL AMOUNTS YOUR HAIR COMES OUT CURLY. I JUST STARTED GROWIN MY HAIR NATURAL 3 MONTHS AGO AND COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANTED TO DO. A FRIEND SUGGESTED MISS JESSIE’S CURLY BUTTERCREME AND THE SHAMPOO N CONDITIONER (CREME DE LA CURL N CREME DE LA CREME). I DON’T EXPECT IT TO WORK FOR EVERYONE SO TO EACH HIS OWN. BUT IF YOUR JUST STARTING OUT CHECK OUT MISSJESSIES.COM

  27. Morrighu says:

    I just wanted to let you know that I love your blog. I do am not such a fan of Miss Jessies. I get better results from Jessicurl and Kinky Curly.

  28. Sarah says:

    I used Miss Jessie’s curly pudding (scented) and had an allergic reaction to it. I got hives everywhere the pudding or my hair touched. My whole face,my shoulders, neck, ears, everywhere. In all my 20 years of using thousands of products, I’ve never had a reaction to any of them. I looked at the ingredients and there were a few things that I have never seen before, probably one of those items did it. So test it first ladies.

  29. lala says:

    Thanks for the review. I love your blog and I love that you dont post tons of pictures of yourself like curlynikki.

  30. KG says:

    I used the Sniffer Sensitive Curly Pudding for the longest. I have been wearing my hair natural for about 7 years now and wore a fro of varying lenghts for all that time. I didn’t transition. I just shaved my hair off to get rid of my relaxer. I was the most liberating thing I’ve ever done. Back on subject, sorry; I used the Curly Pudding. I would shampoo or no-poo every morning and work it through my hair. (Shingling never worked for me). I would then let it air dry. I works well to define the curls, if you apply it evenly. Otherwise, you will have some parts that are not as defined. It left my hair very dry and dull though and that was my chief complaint. I didn’t feel like it moisturized very well at all. I don’t like alot of product in my hair and maybe I should have used something else in conjunction with the pudding to bring the moisture. I also felt that there was some breakage. When I checked the ingredients, I wasn’t that pleased. I checked some sites ont the ‘net and saw there were alot of good reviews for Kinly Curly Curly Custard. I went to Ricky’s and bought it. I have been using it since Thursday and I have to say I really like it. My curls are more defined that with the Pudding and the air drying time is a fraction of what it was. My hair is also very moisturized and very shiny. My only issue is that my hair feels a little crunchy. I think I may be using too much. I have to say that I prefer the latter product overall. The price is also an insentive. A 16 oz jar is $25.00 at Rickys as opposed to the $22.00 8oz. jar of Curly pudding.

  31. Kendria says:

    Wow you’re in Miami? I think I need to visit YOU.. because I try all of these products and they just really suck.

    Well the Kinky Curly line is probably the only line of stuff that does it for me. YEAH!

  32. Jasmine says:

    Hey I tried the pudding and didnt like it. I saw this girl on youtube prettydimples01 and she had some great reviews and instruction on how to do our hair.

    I tried her shea butter and it worked wonders, I love the stuff, though its like 8 dollars plus shipping.

  33. marci says:

    I started using Miss Jessies products after reading about them online about a year ago. My hair is fine and I was tired of water based products because it seems that they cause my hair to knot on the ends a lot. Miss Jessies Buttercreme helps to prevent those knots and I have noticed that my hair stays moisterized longer and is growing longer since using this product. However, I am going to try Kinky Kurls as well, because I like the reviews.

  34. Linsey says:

    I am curious, is the silkener the only product by miss jessie’s with chemicals in it?

  35. Valerie Johnson says:

    I was wondering which product is good for thining hair?

  36. Daphney says:

    Hey guys. I’ve been natural for about 3 1/2 years now and was using cheap shampoos and conditioners that would give my hair that ‘squeaky’ clean feeling that I just HATED because my hair would get very dry and all tangled up afterwards. In Dec 09, I stopped being cheap and bought the Miss Jessie’s products when it was buy one get one…It was the best decision ever. I use the curly pudding for twist outs and leave my hair alone for like a week or two, then I use their shampoo and conditioner which let the comb SLIDE RIGHT THROUGH MY HAIR. I dunno, I guess you either love it or hate it and as of this year, I swore off cheap hair products. Just remember not to use too much pudding when twisting because it’ll leave white residue on your hair; besides, not much is needed to get the twists to hold:)

  37. AP says:

    THOUGHTS ON THE “MISS JESSIE’S”PRODUCTS:

    1)The “MISS JESSIE’S” products USE MINERAL OIL
    & PETROLATUM (both of which damage both
    hair & skin) AS two of the KEY INGREDIENTS

    2) Titi & Miko – THE OWNER’S of the “Miss Jessie’s”
    product line (AND most of THE CLIENTS they choose
    to photograph) — achieve their hair-styles because
    they USE what they call ”Silkener”’ (which is simply
    a mild relaxer / texturizer & made of CHEMICALS).

    3) The same results can be achieved for a fraction of
    the cost by going to a store and purchasing / applying
    the same dangerous (ex. relaxer / texturizer) as well
    as damagind (ex. mineral oil / petrolatum) products.

    4) People should save their money (and hair) by avoiding
    the cheaply-made / expensively-sold products (such as
    the ”Miss Jessie’s” line) that contain worthless and
    harmful ingredients such as mineral oil / petrolatum
    and / or are “chemically-dependent” to achieve results.

  38. Indy pie says:

    Kinky curly products are at Whole Foods too. I love the moisture and natural ingredients. Less is more of the curling custard for 3b hair

  39. You made some good points there. I did a lookup on the topic and I want to say that I noticed almost all pros will agree with your opinion.

  40. Chakira Branch says:

    FYI…

    There is a black-owned beauty supply store in Bedford-Stuyvesant called Chloe’s Beauty Supply. The store is located on 417 Marcus Garvey Blvd. in Brooklyn. The owner sells the 2oz bottles of Miss Jessie’s for $7. She is also looking into getting a shipment of Carol’s Daughter for a reduced price. The workers are really nice, and if you want some advice on what to do with your hair, I am sure they will know.

  41. Carrie says:

    I heard about Miss Jessie’s products on the Tyra Bank Show. I have a very short relaxed hairstyle and I am seriously considering going natural. Basically I am sick and tired of being a slave to my hair and salons. Can you suggest which Miss Jessie’s hair products would work for me in accomplishing a sophisticaed professional look? Oh by the way…, my hair is kinky blk, very fine and soft. Thanks.

    Well I just used the curly meringue and I must say I’m pleased it did what it said it would…i have the cutest litte ringlets right now and yes a lil does go a long way. I have 4b and it worked rather well with it…and my hair is soft…now I opted for doing it while my hair was wet like the directions say but I’m going to see how it works when you use in on blown out hair..twist..then sprits with water…i’m geeked about it lol

    Do not use any product other than their Shampoo and Conditioner. After using the Curly Pudding, Silky Stretch, and Curly Meringue I found that my hair became extremely dry and brittle the following day.It was weird, my hair stylist even commented on my hair being dry and asked what I was putting in it. But on a good not the Shampoo and Conditioner is magic in a bottle. My hair and I love that stuff! lol

    Oh, and I have quite a bit of the curly meringue, silk stretch cream, and curly pudding left if someone wants to buy it (at a lesser price of course)
