Miss Jessie's Quick Curls Review!

12/9/2010

Hello! Today I'll be doing a Product Review on Miss Jessie's Quick Curls. I must admit I was Very hesitant to buy this product because of my results with Curly Pudding. However, after feeling the texture and trying some of the product on my hair in the store I decided I would buy it because I really liked how it absorbed into my hair.
Product Description: Quick Curls weightless spiraling crème was formulated as a fast acting no fuss light weight styler that gives you the results you want fast. This fresh scented conditioning formula exclusively blended with essence of ginger flower and lime fruit activates a quick, light weight, frizz free smooth curl. Excellent for fingerstyling relaxed hair; no rods necessary, a rescue remedy for botched over processed texturizers and great for our beautiful white gals. Instructions for use: Apply to damp hair based on length and density. Air dry or diffuse dry. Enjoy! THIS PRODUCT IS NOT CHEMICALLY ALTERING!

Product Prices:
8 oz: $32.00
2 oz: $9.00
This product is currently on sale Until 12/31/2010 online @ MissJessies.com for BOGO Free!

I cowashed my hair so that I could really get the true results of the product. My hair was still moisturized from my Heated Olive Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, and Honey Hair Mask. I also used the rest of my Rosemary Rinse after my Cowash, I styled my hair into a simple TWA Fro using Miss Jessie's. I must say I really love the way this product absorbed into my hair. It didn't sit on the top of my hair like the Curly Pudding and it made my hair very soft and moisturized! I was able to pick out my fro very easily and apply some ECO Olive Oil Gel on my edges to bring out my TWA.
Product Grade: A
 
I recommend buying this product. However my recommendation is based off My Hair results. If this is a product that you will purchase to try on your hair I hope that you have the same positive results that I did.
Happy Product Hunting

These two videos show reviews on The Miss Jessie's Hair Products. I am still Not convinced because there are so many Positive and Negative Reviews and I would hate to purchase these products and not like them. The price is not in a cheap range to buy and not work. So I can't convince myself to try these products as of now. I hope these videos help you in some way. Enjoy :)

My Review of this conditioner: I just purchased this product from The Whole Foods Market yesterday. I am almost out of my Nature's Gate Herbal Conditioner and I wanted to try another conditioner to review and overall just to see how the other conditioners would work for my hair. So with the help of my sister I decided to go with the Aloe Vera Conditioner. I Co-Washed my hair the same night and I must say I am In LOVE with this conditioner as well! It's honestly a tough call for me on which one is better than the other. While washing my hair I can not describe the level of softness I received! My hair gets soft with the Herbal conditioner, However my hair immediately got VERY VERY soft with the Aloe Vera Conditioner. I can definitely tell that this is a moisturizing conditioner.~BONUS~ This conditioner keeps hair hydrated and protects against environmental stress, which is wonderful because the environment can have some negative affects on hair.
 I give this product an A! ~I do recommend this product, however my recommendation is based off of my results. Please keep in mind what may work for me may not work on your hair type.~ Happy Product Hunting!
