Now, these ingredients are not bad for the hair per se, but uhhhh, isnt that the same stuff that was in my $3 grease from Sallys (that I had just thrown away)? Nope. Thanks for this post & I highly recommend KCC & THERE shampoo, etc. I feel that they make it clear on the website that they do chemical treatments but SPECIALIZE in natural services. Miss Jessies Pillow Soft Curls has good slip and is a great detangler. Women of color are very knowledgeable on hair so they(Miss Jessies) cant try to sell us grease and call it curly meringue. I became alarmed when my coils began to lengthen. I recently received some free Miss Jessies Samples a gift from my mom who also got the samples for free (from Sheckys Shopping event) and I tried out the Super Sudsy Slip Shampoo( I think thats the name) and Curly Meringue. I hate how I never see women on MJ website with my type of hair, it is always women with good hair. SoIve never posted on this site, though I read it often. Nowthe prices at CurlBar may leave some of you throwing up in a corner (based on previous convos I have had with fellow curlies), but I wont comment on that companies charge what they charge, and people pay what they want to pay. We have user Kinky Curly for special occasions and the curls really do look great! You can share your positive opinion of the products without coming off like youre in a debate. As for their salon, I was somewhat interested in paying them a visit, but was on the fence because their own FAQ and Before/After sections did not seem quite right. Its meant to be used as a styling product during a wash-and-go, but can also be used for twisting. the products scent alone would be enough for me to not buy it again, but add to that the dryness it caused on my hair, split ends.smh.shady business tactics etc.. Bravo! They advertise what theyre popular for.natural hairbut i agree about titi. Mery: The Silkener is a trademarked chemical technique created and developed at Miss Jessies Salon. And for low cost. I mean, some of the ingredients looked good, but please dont act like Blue Magic Coconut Hair Grease doesnt contain coconut oil. So, unless no one gave Miss Jessies the memo that companies list ingredients by how much is in the product (which would be stupid, because having MO as the second ingred makes them look wack), Id say its a more than a little. I feel a little self conscious arriving to your salon without my hair done. I am disappointed to find out Miss Jessies Curly Pudding has formaldehyde as one of its ingredients. Thanks for posting your honest opinion of MJs products. Although I know definition is sort of the opposite of what in claims, I still like my results. Gave me greasy hair the first day, flat hair the second and dry hair the third! Its great that you like the products, and that youd pay 70+ for a wash and go. I can further assist you with product questions you may have. . Miss Jessies newest styling lotion claims to create soft, touchable curls with definition but without a crunch. I dont think thats true companies change their ingredients all the time and a blogger may not know (because we dont keep going back to their sites). A woman who went there that I met in Walgreens told me thats how much she paid. Also, that Curly shirt is too cute! Over the years, Ive learned that hair product with non natural colors cant be truly natural. I left a comment asking about this; lets see if they answer my question. I peeped the Miss Jessies game back in 2005 when i worked for Carols Daughter (at the Brooklyn store mind you before the large expansion). But okay! So I googled it and came up with the above description. So do you! So, for me, as well as I suspect for others, this is mainly an ethical issue. Leave it heavy, limp, oilyyes, but damage itno! ever since i was transitioning i have heard about all natural products like kinky curly and curls brand, that stuff was crap in my hair and i would use miss jessies instead any day. But as consumers we need to do research and read ingredients in products. It is absolutely irresponsible and down right ugly to post an article about a company and leave the original post there years later, even when it is no longer revelant. You will see that PILLOW SOFT CURLS is so easy to apply. Each hair, skin and body indulgence collection is infused with rare ingredients that bring out your natural beauty. So if these products are not all natural they are advertising them as such. Points still stand.). Curly Pudding Water, Paraffinum Liquidum. This is HER blog, with HER opinions. , Who said grease was damaging? The name says it all. but i will probably never buy it again. my hair stylist no longer promotes MJ, and Ive found healthier alternatives that work better for my hair and dont smell like grapes on steroids (Curly Pudding, theres a non-scented formula but only in small size). Poison Ivy is all natural but you dont want to rub that all over your face. I actually had to dig the two samples out to get the ingredients to verify your addendum. My hair started break and shedding like crazy! It is used in the cosmetics industry and found in products like shampoos, hair conditioners, hair gels and skin care products. Mery: We have a stretched silkining creme but its just a styling creme not the chemical process. In reply to this comment I have 400+ posts, one cannot expect me to continuously update my posts based on the marketing efforts of a company unless someone brings it to my attention, as you did so thanks!. Read on, then move one. RIDIC! All the products are garbage they are all just jars of grease and did nothign but damage my natural hair!! Interesting, right? I just recently subscribed and just received your new post. I have tried LOTS of products, both expensive and inexpensive over the years and have settled on using simple clear gel and a really good blow dyer and diffuser. Just wished it didnt leave a residue in my hair.. Youre gonna charge me $50 to remove some gel from my hair, or wet my press so my hair is curly again? To tweak existing curls, kinks or waves, address shrinkage, turn kinks to curls, combat frizz, and make hair more manageable. Further, I do not think that people are picking on MJ. DMDM hydantoin is an antimicrobial formaldehyde releaser preservative with the trade name Glydant. Parrafinum Liquidum is mineral oil. I have two jars Ive gotten at meetups. I think the prices are fair. But admittedly, they dont annoy me *as much. So to me there is no integrity issues with Miss Jessies. BUT their marketing was very skewed when I wrote this piece and I was especially annoyed at the things they stated in their interviews and how they addressed people on YouTube. My friend loves the 3 Sisters of Nature products which are knockoffs of Miss Js and Kinky Curly products for the fraction of the price. That said, Im a 4/a/b/c and I dont care for the products. Its not hating when its the truth. Wellit seems that they did not answer my question OR approve my comment, and also deleted their response which said they dont contain mineral oil. Our products have a small amount of mineral oil besides the 16 ingredients, furthermore mineral oil ISNT the active ingredient, Shea Butter is the active ingredient. I thought I had learned my lesson when I went through a hair catastrophe 1 1/2 years ago when I gave in to a keratin treatment. You will need to read the lists and if you are unsure, Google the ingredient. The average person should not be spending $14 on a bottle of shampoo especially, if it is not of quality and you can get the same thing for $3. I dont know if you guys are upset because it contains mineral oil or upset because it contains mineral oil AND its kind of expensive. * Again, if you love the products, sexy legumes and and may the force of the curl be with you. If you look at the date posted, this article is old Miss Jessies has switched up their marketing quite a bit, which I think is due to the previous outcry about certain things, like the major turn your kinks into curls initiative and the best darn products for natural hair thing. Im a researcher. FINE! I used the Pillow Soft Curls on Friday and my hair was so frizzy and dry. I saw the video about shingling and tried itAnd I felt like I was shellacing my hair with relaxer because my hair was completely white/purplish, but at least it smelled good. Heck the only line that I have spend money on is Carols Daugther and I will admit seem of her products are reasonable in price and it does wonders on my hair. Yes, I totally agree that some of these people are obviously affiliated with MJ. I havent been this disappointed in a hair product in a LONG time. Yes, other companies practice the same techniques because thats how you make money, but to me, positioning yourself as a thought leader and selling women the notion of having the good hair they always wanted, is just too much. im looking at my pack of curly pudding right now.no mineral oil. BUT I will keep trying. Eventually the color of the Curly Pudding went away and my hair started to dry and I thought it would turn out well Until I went outside this morning One thing I appreciate about gel IT HOLDS. And as a responsible blogger, you should update the post accordingly. Elle, thanks for your opinion Ive learned more about hair health and products in the last 60 days than 2 years of being natural. Yeah.okay.and in case you think Im lying, this is DIRECTLY from their FAQ on the website . It was way too thick( at least for my hair). Yea right! They worked good for a few days and I realized my hair was starting to dry out and break off. Heres why: When I decided to go natural, I was looking for a product that would help my relaxed hair curl (ie, not look like a wavy, stringy mess), but still work on my natural hair as it grew. However, once most of us became more familiar with our natual hair and started researching ingredients, it became irrational to us to pay the prices MJ charges for the same ingredients that are in Blue Magic or Lusters Pink Lotion etc.,. As an informed consumer, you can fact check as well. Our products help those who DO NOT want Alternating chemicals such as relaxers, as said before we help people without changing their hair CHEMICALLY. Thanks. The reason i dont like it is beacuse -NOT THAT SHE HAS A TEXTURIZER- but because its making something seem like its not. Required fields are marked *. ME: So its (what i know as) a texturizer? Also because of my my health issues I am trying to stay away from questionable items such as parabens and some harsher cones. And trust me, there is a reason its still used in products and millions of people buy them because it works! This begs the question as to why MJ has not followed suit. I just find it strange that people say they dont care what others do, but then post articles like this bashing a product. The problem I have always had with Miss Jessies is the price. One thing I do know for sure is that texturizers arent natural and I hate when women think they are natural sporting that lol, it makes me laugh and wonder do these people really want to love and embrace their natural hair texture or are they just trying to fit into what society calls good hair lol. I said my last post, not reply.. Let me say this and it will indeed be the last thing I post on this website. THENI found out that Titi (one of the co-owners of Miss Jessies) has a silkener ie texturizer so she can get the look she wants without spending as much time on her hair. Its all marketing, which is why its important to read ingredients lists and do your research, as I stated before. I can only use a small amount of the curly pudding because it leaves my hair looking flaky, and do not like the stretch silkener. Many of her ingredients are natural but there are some emulsifiers, pH adjusters, emollients, silicones, etc that are not considered natural. I honestly do not understand how a jar of grease can damage anyones hair. This stuff made my hair the frizzy in 1 hour of being outside what takes 2-3 days of my gel to do. My hair feels course. And yes, I heard even a haircut at that place can cost you $400. i fell for the impeccable design and label! As you stated this article is old. She states that very clearly. Im confused as to why someone would go a a mission to dispell Elles PERSONAL OPINION?! I wish I wouldve read this before I bought Curly Pudding. Search for: I dislike the vast chemical ingredients, the price, the smell (and the fact that it lingers for so long) and the non-thrilling results it yields. Full of ish, I tell ya. I am in complete agreement with you; although, Ive never considered any of this before. Theres a big difference in your hair not looking bouncy and curly (loaded with grease) and being damaged. Mery: Like a relaxer or texturizer, the Silkener is a chemical as well. I know what works for me and use whatever works, whether it has mineral oil or not. Everyday, someone asks me what do you do to get those gorgeous curls?. I had been struggling with a natural for 5 years and was ready for another change. keep up the good work. Will you still be able to determine what my curly style options will be when you consult with me? And by the wayas my credibility as a blogger is shot, yours is as a commenter as well. Then I did my research (way to late) only to find out there is formaldehyde in these keratin treatments. This product gave me hair that I didnt know I had! I agree 100% Now, unless the ingredients changed and they didnt tell anyone, all three of these products have mineral oil. Good day. If it does, Im buying it period Be blessed yall! Titi does have a silkener due to the volume of hair. COME ON LADIES OUT THERE STOP RIPPING US OFF HEREITS BAD ENOUGH THAT OUR ECONOMY IS SCREWED UP BUT DONT SCREW UP YOUR PRICES OF YOUR HAIR PRODUCTS!!! Wow, so much excitement over simeones right to have an opinion! Will I take down this post? But after finding other (cheaper) products I decided to go without shelling over the big bucks for my hair and put it in Food & Gas for my car (yea to me Miss Jessies is enough to feed me for two weeks and a full tank) I think its sad that someone cant share their opinion without being attacked.
