I have been natural about 2 years, I have not used a single Miss Jessie’s product, and I never will!!! I’m not paying organic prices for products that are cheaply made.These ladies should be ashamed.

For the past 2 1/2 years, I have 98% transitioned my hair of all chemical relaxer, and whats left are my ends (which is only an inch, so I really need to let it go), and I have been looking for all natural products to use for my wavy/curly hair. Im learning about hair-typing (im a 3a/3b) or LS on the LOIS hair type scale. I just found out about Miss Jessie’s hair line in Target, and was wondering why this product was $60 if its not even “ALL NATURAL!!!” So I did my research, and i think im going to stay away. I havent heard enough good for me to kick out all that money.

What I have been using that is WONDERFUL is Shea Moisture Raw Organic Shea Butter Recovery line in the tan bottles when I wear my hair curly, and when I get my hair blown out, I use the Ojon hair line. These products are great, and they are all natural. The Shea Moisture is $9.99 for each item, and Ojon can run you anywhere from $10 up to $50!!!

Miss Jessie’s products does not work well with my hair all the time. The silkner and repair treatment is all I can use other wise, I have a heavy flaky dry nest on my head.

I love Earth’s Nectar Products use the Mint Shampoo, Mint Conditioner, Moni Milk, Hair milk, Mint Scalp Oil, Curly, Mist, and Aloe Gel. I also use their soaps. My hair is soft and mositurized. My hubby says it is like cotton.

I use the Mist that is a deodorizer everyday–I workout. You can never smell the sweat in my hair. I love their products and use them pretty much exclusively on my hair. I previously had to go to the dermatologist for shampoo and scalp drops but I no longer use or need them.

These products are worth the investment.

i first tried the curly pudding and was extremely disappointed. it made my hair hard and extremely dry and was highly upset that i spent so much $ on it. about two years later i waited until MJ’s end of year buy one get one free and tried the curly meringue and the stretch silkener and came to the conclusion that they were both the evil curly pudding disguised in different colors and scents. i need moisture and its like these products completely rob your hair of any moisture you may have had before and then mocks your pocketbook for having the nerve to spend good money on them.

Someone posted earlier that there are plenty of websites and products with loads of information. I agree. I have not used MJ’s products because I usually read mixed reviews about her products. I also feel we should not have to spend more than $20 for a good hair product. I would like to try indigofera products. I heard a lot of great things about them. That’s next on my list.

HELLLLPPPPP Afrobella sistas! I just happen to run into your interesting website and it sounds fun.

I’ve been wearing wigs for years and i an too through! But, my hair is so fine and really doesn’t have any natural curl.

Any suggestions? Any products that give it fullness, body?

I just finished using Miss Jessie’s new products. I used the shampoo, conditioner and Silkening Stretch creme, then added a little Baby Butter cream when I coiled my hair. I’m with Afrobella on the Stretch Silkening creme. There is nothing silky or stretchy going on with my hair right now. It feels dry, and it’s frizzier than when I used hair rules curly whip along with the baby butter cream or carol’s daughter hair milk. I’m glad I only bought the 2oz of the silkening creme. I might try it again, just to see, but so far I’m not liking the results. As far as the shampoo and conditioner go, they’re not moisturizing enough, especially compared to hair rules or deva-care. The woman where I got the products told me she had the same experience. I’m going to give the shampoo/condish to my little girl. It may work better for her hair. I’ll be sticking with cleansing cream and quench conditioner. I’m disappointed. I love the rapid recovery deep conditiner. oh well. At least I got it on the BOGO sale.

I’ve looked at Miss Jesse’s products, but I am not impressed. Like many above, I am concerned about the over-emphasis on “curl definition.” It is nice if you can do it, because it is another dimension of afro/kinky hair versatility, but to me it shouldn’t be something to strive for at all times or be disappointed if you can’t attain. I think the lure is that alot of us with 3c-4b hair textures realize that in most cases our hair type does consist of tiny curls. That really is the nature of natural hair. What we call napps, for most of us are actually tiny curls. Growing up with a hot comb and grease we probably didn’t realize, but now with more knowledge and better products the tiny curls/coils are realized. So I think many of us are just amazed at what we had all along. But why is being able to claim curls percieved as more special? Some people get hung up on curls, because somehow that is still seen as more “acceptable” than nappy fro hair.

I have 3 inch, post chop hair that is 3c on top and 4a everywhere else. The 3c hair is obviously curly with no product, the rest looks like ‘fro with tiny coils unless I stretch it with a twistout or something. I can pick my hair out and all of it will appear like a fro, I can do a twist out an all of it will appear curly. I’m just as happy either way. I mix it up often to affirm that I am not curl crazy as some are, but I do try to make the two textures appear as uniform (one way or the other) as possible.
