Miss Jessie’s

I’m always on the hunt for a great shampoo and conditioner. So when I saw Miss Jessie’s Crème de la Curl Cleansing Crème ($16) and Conditioner ($16) at my local drugstore I threw them in my basket immediately.

I’ve been growing out my relaxed hair for a while now and I really enjoy testing out products made just for curly hair. I’ve been a fan of Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding for many years but I have not used many of their other products. And this shampoo and conditioner duo seemed like a great set to test out.

The shampoo really caught my eye because its not like your run of the mill shampoos on the market, it has a creamy texture to it just like a conditioner would. So when I finally tried it I must say that I was in love, it’s one of the best shampoos that I’ve tried in a time. The most noticeable benefit was that it did not strip my hair like so many other do. I’m not a fan of that squeaky clean feeling because that means that all of the natural oils in your hair have been washed down the drain. And when that happens it leads to frizziness and hair breakage, which nobody wants!

The conditioner is lightweight for daily use or a leave-in treatment, it has a similar consistency to the shampoo. I liked it as a leave-in treatment but I prefer a thicker, creamier type of conditioner for my parched hair. I had to use a handful of conditioner to detangle my hair, which is a lot considering the conditioner is about $16. I think it’s a great conditioner for someone with hair that isn’t dried out but for me, I just wasn’t enough, I had to add some olive oil to my hair to moisturize it. I’d definitely get the shampoo again, I liked how it didn’t strip my hair but I’ll pass on the conditioner and get a deep conditioning treatment instead.

If you’re like me they you struggle with frizz while trying to maintain your perfect coils. While April showers bring May flowers, they also pack some serious frizz that can wreak havoc on your curls! Miko Branch, co-founder of Miss Jessie’s, offers tips for how to survive the humid weather with curls and peace of mind intact.

Your curls will need different stylers at different times of the year. During the rainier months, modify your beauty routine and use a styler with stronger hold than you might usually use. This will allow you to tame and control your humidified curls. Miss Jessie’s offers a wide range of stylers, from super light hold (Pillow Soft Curls) to super firm hold (Curly Pudding).

Don’t doubt what nature gave you! It is much better to embrace your natural curls than fight them and try to achieve brand new texture. Go with the flow and try a new look for a day or two. For example, if you always have every curl in place, then during the rainy season, try a less stylized look. For kinkier, tighter curls, we recommend that you ultra-moisturize your hair as moisture is your best protection against humidity.

The damper part of Spring gives you the perfect opportunity to try braids, coil outs, or twist outs! Keep in mind that these styles require curl care as well. Before braiding, coiling, or twisting your curls, make sure that your curls are clean, and that you used a deep conditioner (like Miss Jessie’s Super Sweetback Treatment or Rapid Recovery Treatment).
