While I don’t know the number or category of my hair let’s just say my hair is thick yet each hair itself is fine, my ends tend toward cotton ball fuzziness with little baby corkscrews poking out at random intervals (I only get the corkscrews if I don’t comb my hair). No amount of any miracle product is going to bring out “curls” in my hair, it’s afro hair period.

What Rapid Recovery did was soften and moisturize my TWA without leaving the greasy oily feeling that all of my other product combinations have done. I used a heating cap with the treatment then after rinsing it out I rubbed in the Baby Buttercreme.

The result was a luscious, thick, soft, fragrant TWA, a few days later I decided to do 2 strand twists (I did not use any additional product I just sat and twisted on a whim while watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy), the twist out was lovely and soft and thoroughly moisturized without oiliness. The combination of Rapid Recovery Treatment and Baby Buttercreme has resolved the dryness factor I had been fighting when using my own homemade concoctions or even other retail products. Note that I was having dryness even without using shampoo. Thanks to Miss Jessie’s for developing and offering such lovely products, I’m a satisfied customer.
Afrobella, thank you for all that you do – I have to check in with you every time I need more bella in my day!

Dear Miss Jessie’s Salon Patrons:

As you may already be aware, Miss Jessie’s announced the closure of The Salon effective July 2, 2007. The decision to close operations was a difficult one but part of an overall restructuring plan to focus on the wonderful products we deliver to help you manage your naturally curly, kinky and wavy hair. We want to thank all the patrons whose lives we have touched either directly or indirectly.

Should you have any questions at all please contact us at 718-852-2600.

Sincerely,
Titi Branch
Managing Director

So…I guess bad news for the shop patrons but good news that the focus will now be solely on developing products.
I myself have never used the products mainly becuse they seem overpriced. The procedures used to achieve the curly looks seem time-consuming and awfully complicated just to achieve a curly style.
Also, frankly I was disappointed to find out that the silkener is just a milder type of relaxer. My own “recipe” of Infusium 23 Leave-In conditioner mixed with a little frizz serum gives me shiny, conditioned, frizz-free curls.
Yes…I know we all have different textures/thickness and no one product does the same for every head, but I just think there are cheaper alternatives if one is creative and does a little research.

I’ve been using Miss Jessie’s loyally since I did my big chop in August 2006. I know there are many who scoff at the price or chide the sisters for making a buck (or two or hundred-thousand), but I must say the Curly Pudding works really well on my hair. I’ve spread the word to my natural friends (both women AND men) about Miss Jessie’s products. It’s great that they now have the less expensive, smaller sizes for sample frenzy!

Once I read your post, I went to NaturallyCurly.com to place my order. Tip: in case you didn’t know about this site, NaturallyCurly sells Miss Jessies, DevaCurl , Mixed Chicks, and a bunch of other hard-to-find-in-corner-sto’s products. They don’t sell the Curlz line (yet). NaturallyCurly also honors Miss Jessie’s promotions. The real advantage to ordering through NaturallyCurly is they ship USPS Priority Mail (flat rate) — faster and more reliable in my experience — instead of UPS like Miss Jessie’s does.
