PRODUCT REVIEW - Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding® and Curly Meringue®
About a month ago I walked into a hair store on my afternoon "I need to get out of the office for a few minutes" break. I knew that I wanted to try something different but I wasn't sure what. Was it going to be a hydrating mask, conditioner or moisturizer? I walked up to the Miss Jessie's display and saw that they had trial sizes....Perfect! I could try to products without spending and wasting money if I didn't like it. I purchased Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding and the Curly Meringue.
Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding®
The curly pudding was just ok. It moisturized my hair, smelled good and gave me soft shiney curls but there was no wow factor. I could be just as satisfied if I used Shea Moisture's Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie (which is so much cheaper). So needless to say but I will not purchase that again. Now, I know that there are some people who love and live by this. It's not bad, I just feel that I can achieve the same look using something cheaper.
Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue®
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! It smells amazing, gives my hair a great shine, and makes my hair soft. I used it to two strand twist my hair and I was very pleased with the outcome. There was close to no frizz, it was curly and bouncy....it just looked amazing. I got so many compliments. My hair looked great, I felt great, I was just working my greatness. LOL
I just purchased the trial size of the Curly Buttercreme so I will be sure to let you know how that works out!
WORK IT VIOLA DAVIS!
Everyone has been buzzing about the two-time Academy Award Nominee Viola Davis' Natural Hair at the Oscars last week! Didn't she look absolutely amazing? Her colored TWA (Tiny Weeny Afro) looked beautiful as she graced our TV screens in that stunning green Vera Wang gown. Apparently, Viola had been wearing wigs and finally took her husband's advice to wear her natural hair. The media can be mean and cruel therefore, Viola must of had a number of doubts. I can most definitely understand. After all, I dated natural. LOL. Beauty is beauty regardless of if you wear natural hair, a wig, a weave, or a hat. This is the reason why I Blog and I flood my Facebook page with pictures of my natural hair styles. I am beautiful, I was beautiful before when I was permed and weaved up and I am beautiful now when I am natural and twisted. And you best believe that I will continue to be beautiful because I define who I am, both inside and out. Mrs. Davis, thank you for showing America that natural hair is beautiful! That is all...

Congrats on the Blog NIc!! :-) I love your feedback on products and plan to use the Pudding. I went O' Natural two years ago and am glad I did. One thing I must say about most of these products is that they work best on NATURAL hair. I lot of women going through the transition apply the products on the perm ends of their hair expecting a natural look which isn't going to happen. In my opinion the easiest way to go natural is to cut off the permed hair. Dealing with half processed hair and half natural is more difficult.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!!! I love your new look :-)
I meant to say the Meringue. Where did you find the display?
ReplyDeleteHey Rose! Thank you so much for your comments. I totally agree with you regarding transitioning with perm ends. I tried to do that and was VERY UNSUCCESSFUL. The thing that worked in my favor was that I already had short hair. I find that women with longer hair have a harder time letting go. I hope they see through me that it does not take long to grow back! I love being natural and yes, I have bad days and nights when I dream about perms but I am committed to this.
ReplyDeleteAs for my product recommendation of the Curly Meringue I do have an additional warning notice. After a few days it does tend to flake. I would think that this is a good product for the summer time since we tend to wash our hair more frequently. I am now in LOVE with Miss Jessie's Buttercreme. I can use it for a straight week and not experience flaking. I am planning to do a review on it soon. We have the trial sizes in a store that I shop at. I'll pick you up two to try. You'll have to share with the group what you think.
Love the blog as well! Deal update since we're mentioning one of my personal faves,Shea Moisture's Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie -- its currently on promo at Target where if you buy two you receive a gc, cha-ching.
ReplyDeleteThank You for the deal update! Target is on the list of places to go today!
