And I also may add, 95% of black women have had some kind of chemical service applied to their hair. So, all of you so called natural hair buffs, I’m sure you were amongst the 95% sometime in your life. Now you want to bash other women for getting chemicals in their hair, when you know that you’ve had chemicals in your hair at one point in your life. Puulease!!!

I wish people would get off their natural hair high horse! My hair is super kinky and dry and I have to get a texturizer if I want to attempt to get my fingers and a pick through my hair. It is a personal decision. I love the Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding. It makes my hair soft and shiny. It does address the shrinkage when applied properly. You have to use the Curly Pudding on soaking wet hair and piece by piece apply it through the hair. You can’t just slap it on and call it a day. You have to work with the product. As for the mineral oil in their products? Well, black women have unknowingly been using mineral oil in their hair for years and years. That Luster’s Pink Oil and Blue Magic hair grease that our mothers slapped in our hair to make it more manageable all had mineral oil in it. What black hair care product doesn’t have mineral oil it? Did it kill you, no? So why the big stink about Miss Jessie’s products? I think Miko and Titi Branch were brilliant to open a salon and sell hair care products specifically for black, natural hair when everybody else ignored our unique hair needs. If you can’t afford the the big sizes, then purchase the small sizes, and you still get alot of product. And you don’t need to use a whole lot. A little goes along way with their products. As black people, we need to stop bashing each other and start supporting one another, and maybe other races won’t look at us as inferior anymore.

I wish I would have found this back in 2008 when I 1st decided to go natural. (especially b/c i see they were buy 1 get 1) I love MJ products they work great for my hair. I would love to get a silkener, but I just can’t afford that on top of travel expenses times 3 – 4 times a year. Maybe 1 day, for now I’ll just buy the products & techniques I saw on the website

isn’t a “silkener” basically a perm with lye?

You have talked about several interesting things on this page. I found this by using Yahoo and I’ve got to admit that I already subscribed for your blog site, it is extremely decent

I want to try these products so badly but even with the 2 oz sizes I can’t get over fact that mineral oil is a top ingredient in a bunch of her products. I wish they would replace these harmful ingredients with something more natural or human-friendly. Maybe I’ll just go for it when I have the cash.

This post is old, but I found it interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot shake my dislike of Miss Jessie’s, and trust me, I have tried. It’s not even the prices, because I would be willing to pay top dollar for a top dollar product…but I’m not going to pay $50-60 for something with a bunch of mineral oil/petroleum/cones. There are just too many great natural products out there. Everytime I go to my BSS, I browse at the MJ stuff…and put it back.

My hair was past my shoulders but was so damaged I cut it all off. In it’s natural state, my hair is very dry, thick, & kinky. I’ve been looking into Miss Jesssie’s for quite some time and I must say that this is the BEST blog I have red, although the Miss Jessie’s site is very informative. Btw, they have a great sale right now. Buy one get one free! I think this would be a great time to try out some of her products. Now if only they had free shipping! lol… I’ve also been reading about this no-lye softening system called Caribbean Dream??? Still looking into it, but so far it seems like it’s made for softer hair textures than what I have…
