Features:

Works wonders on hair and scalp problems

Moisturizes, conditions and shines

Strengthens hair and scalp

First things first, ingredients:

INGREDIENTS: Water (Aqua EU), Glycerine, Paraffinium Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Honey, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Oleth-5, Menthol, Menthone Glycerin Acetal, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Zea Mays(Corn) Oil, Cholecalciferol, DMDM Hydantoin, Diazodilinyl Urea, Iodopropynl Butylcarbamate, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Citronellol, d-Limonine, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Linalool

I was amazingly surprised that I’d like this product. It does, however, have a strong smell but if you like a minty, cool breeze on your scalp — you will easily forget the smell. The smell isn’t bad but has a mediciney fragrance to it.

Product went on smoothly and was creamy. I would not rate it high in “defining” curls but it most certainly helps your tresses to retain moisture. This product will give you a “soft” hold, which I prefer. It is a perfect candidate for those naturals who are using the LOC method (leave-in, Oils, and Creme). It would fall in the category of the “C” for creme. Some users have stated that the product helps them to keep the “frizzies” away, which is one of my concerns and it did help with that since it happens to be a “heavy” creme! So, if you are looking for your hair to be bouncy and light, this is not the product for you! However, if you live in a more humid climate, this may be a product worth trying.

It does not state to be applied to wet hair. Therefore, it can be placed in the category of second, third-day hair use or as a refresher. This is a plus for those, unlike me, who don’t want to “wet” their hair everyday!

Again, this is one of those products that most people will either “love it!” or “hate it!” It’s price point is good. It can be found at some beauty supply stores between $6.99 to $8.99 and is one item in a full hair care line.

As always, please leave a comment, suggestion, or thought below.

Until next time!

Happy Curls to You!

Miss Jessie’s Curling Pudding

This has been a product that I’ve peruse over the two years that I have been natural but because of its price, avoided. Well, I finally broke down and purchased a 16 ounce jar for $38.00 at Target. I must say the shelf was full of Miss Jessie’s products.

I washed my hair with Tresemme Naturals Shampoo, followed by Reve Essentials Hair and Body Moisturizer in the Lemon Scent. I shingled the product through my 3b-4a tresses as usual. The product went on smoothly and I soon realized that I didn’t need to apply but a dime-size amount to each section. The consistency of the product was very creamy and thick. The Curly Pudding does have a fragrance that may be too much for some which is why I believe that they do offer it in an unscented version. I do recommend applying the Curly Pudding to very wet hair, it seems to take less to cover the strands.

The clumping that I got with this product was off the chain! Curls were shiny and bouncy. The product gives a soft “hold.” I can foresee a learning curve of three to four tries in order to get your application of this product down pact. It took about 2 hours for the product to dry without a leave-in under the product. Today, I used a leave-in and applied the Curly Pudding at 4:30 a.m. and at 10:58 a.m. the ends of my hair are dry but from the scalp to three quarters down my hair is still damp. Therefore, I have that “just applied product” look and I haven’t been able to “fluff” into style yet.

The products ingredients are:

Water, Paraffinum Liquidum, Glycerin, Fragrance, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Dipropylene Glycol, Silk Amino Acids, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Avocado Oil, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Macadamia Seed Oil, Oleth-5, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Ext. Violet 2.

Pros:

Goes on smoothly
Doesn’t take much to get the job done.
Curls are well-defined
Curls are Shiny
Curls Clump Well
Works Well on 2b – 3c Hair Types
You Can Get 4 to 5 Day Hair with Product
Great for Twistouts and the Like for 4a-z Hair Types
Product Gives a Soft, Shiny, and Flexible Hold
Frizz-free Curls
Style Easily Refreshed with Water

Cons:

Product Pricing is a HUGE deterrent to repurchasing product
Let’s Jam is a comparable substitute for this high-end product
Drying can take hours
Product Ingredients are not “embraced” by the “natural” community
Not great for wash n goes for 4a-z Hair textures
Will Leave Hair Crunchy if you’ve Applied Too Much
Artificial “Grape” Scent can be Overwhelming for Some but can last for days

My observation is that people either really love the Curly Pudding or Hate it! For hair types 2b to 3c it is a good product for Wash N’ Goers and for 4a to 4z great for twistouts, bantu knots and the like. I’ve used the product twice and haven’t gotten below the top of the label on the 16 ounce jar yet. Therefore, in order to be fair the initial cost of the product is a shocker but the jar holds a lot of applications that can balance out the price!

I also liked the detailed instructions, on the jar, on how to use the product. From what I’ve heard is that Miss Jessie’s is coming out with a 2-ounce jar ($7 – $9) that will allow people to try the product without having to shell out so much money. I would try visiting their site to get one. Will I be repurchasing? No, I have a feeling that my jar will last me a long time and I’m satisfied with the Let’s Jam as a substitute.
