My Review of Miss Jessie's products

Oh Miss Jessie!!

When I first got my hair styled by a natural hairstylist, I wanted a consultation on what products to use. There are so mnay products out there for natural hair. Yet one thing I find about natural hair stylists is that they are very expensive. A straw or "rod" set can go for $100-$120!! A simple "finger"twist and a deep condition for me was $80. That was pretty expensive and more than the $45-$65 I used to pay for a touch-up style from regular beauticians.

The first finger twist set I got was really nice. The stylist used this really nice smelling product called "Miss Jessie's Buttercreme" Here's how it came out:

I liked how it came out and for $80 and I wasn't touching it. I kept it like that for a week and washed it out.

The "Miss Jessie's Buttercreme" felt great on my hair and gave it such a beautiful shine. It did get a little dry and flaky towards the end of the week, so I wouldn't suggest leaving too much of this product in your hair for a long period of time.

I love smell of the Buttercreme and was desparate to find my own container. I found a small shop in Brooklyn that sold it to me for $32 for an 8 oz. container. When I returned to Maryland, I still wanted to find some more products by Miss Jessie. At a Target in Bowie, MD, I found the "Curly Pudding" in 16 oz and fell in love with this product.

After washing and conditioning my hair, I put a good amount throughout my hair and brushed it out. Then I just kept it wet. Wow, it smells so good! Here's how it came out:

The "Curly Pudding" runs for $35, but it is a great product. I also decided to try my own finger twists so I could do my own twist-out. Using the "Curly Pudding" after I washed and conditioned my hair, the twists were able to stay. I let them dry before I took them out for the twist-out. Here are the twists:

The next day, I took out the twists and here is the result...my first twist out!

Miss Jessie's products are not easy to find. They are available at certain Target locations and natural beauty salons and shops. The best thing to do is to look on their website http://www.missjessies.com/ or friend them on Twitter @Miss_Jessies. They also have a new shop in SoHo. NY that you can check out.

Overall, I give their products 3 out 4.

The only reason their products did not receive a 4 is because the availability of the products is slim and not conducive to people who do not live in urban areas. Plus, the price of the 8 oz "Buttercreme" is high. I really do recommend this product, expecially for those who want to define your natural curl. :)
