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.

Hello All:

I used miss jessies in my transition. cp good for twist outs but drying and buttercreme very heavy. Meringue was awesome, my coworkers thought that I had a straw set. Many of us do have curly hair texture, so I do not think that it is accurate to assume that “wooly” is the dominant texture. Texture does not matter. People take this stuff too seriously. Curls by sisters smith is awesome – spiral spritz very moisturizing. I got over one week of wear on my wash and go using minimal curly pudding. Curl’s coconut sublime condish is the holy grail, great slip no comb needed to style hair. My hair melted with moisture:)

I’ve used the pudding in the sky blue jar (I think it’s the Baby Pudding) and absolutely luved it, UNTIL. I read the ingredients- Paraban.

I’ve thrown out all products containing paraban, some of which were from Kiehl’s and was so disappointed to learn that what I thought would be a must-have contained questionable ingredients.

Is it possible for Miss Jessie to remove the paraban and replace with a natural alternative?
