The Perfect Fit: Miss Jessie's Product Review


  Hello again my friends! I hope you all are doing great! I've been a busy body trying to get back in shape after having my son about seven weeks ago. I've also been trying new products for my hair! I have heard AMAZING things about Miss Jessie's hair products from friends and family members. Even total strangers have told me about Miss Jessie's! I was in the CVS when a lady saw me looking at Miss Jessie's products and went on and on and on about how great the products are.

I heard from a friend that if you go on the website you can get free samples! Of course, I couldn't pass up a chance to try a new product. Also FREE SAMPLES are where its at!! I ordered the Super Sweetback Treatment and the Curly Buttercreme that very day. It arrived 2 days later but to my surprise I got one wrong item. I got the Super Slippery Sudsy Shampoo instead of the Super Sweetback treatment. I contacted them and within a little over a week they sent me the correct sample and let me keep the other one. I decided to try them all and see if Miss Jessie's is as great as everyone says it is. 

I will break them down into sections and put my reviews below. 




Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo

  I tried this one and I wasn't too thrilled to do so at first. I was absolutely not convinced that this would work for me.I definitely judged a book by its cover. I decided to give it a try anyway. It couldn't hurt right?

First thing I noticed was the smell. It has an amazing subtle smell that is pleasing and not overwhelming.It took only a small bit to cleanse my whole head! It didn't strip my hair and it felt absolutely fabulous. It left my hair moisturized and soft! 

Rating: 9 out of 10


Super Sweetback Treatment

This is supposed to be the HOLY GRAIL for natural hair care! I've read reviews and heard that if you want soft and silky kinks try this beautiful concoction. I didn't like the smell. It smelt as though a pepto bismol bottle and a pack of gum threw up in my hair. It was definitely way too strong! Also I was surprised at the consistency. I was just about to say forget it and wash it out but something told me to just finish using it for the 30 minutes. 

I washed it out after the 30 minutes were up and I was completely surprised by the reults.  I actually liked the smell after it was rinsed out and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how soft and manageable my hair was afterwards. It felt like silk and even after awhile it still feels that way! I love this product. I just wish they'd do something about the smell though.

Curly ButterCreme


I want to start out by saying that this product wasn't what I expected it to be. It was way way MORE! I have never found such a light cream that left my hair so amazingly soft and smelling GREAT!! The tingling brought on by the peppermint oil felt like it was bringing my hair and scalp back to life. It smelt so good and it lasted for days. I didnt have to reapply or anything. I just did my finger coils and went about my buisness. I would reccommend this to EVERY CURLY HAIRED PERSON I KNOW! It is a great pick me up for dry, damaged hair and an awesome product all the way around!

A complete rating of all the products I used from the Miss Jessie's line of hair products :

9 out of 10!!

These products are amazing! They are a bit pricey (between $9 and $50) but they worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY! I will be using these again and again and again. 

Well, its that time again. I will see you all later!

Much Love,
Tori P.

"Sample" the Good Life: Curly Wurly by Lush



One sunny summer day, Andre (my best friend) and I were at Pentagon City Mall enjoying a day of shopping, eating and walking to get my labor to progress. We came across this store called Lush Cosmetics and decided to take a peek since I love any type natural products. I fell in love as soon as we went in the store. I fell in love with the Soap Bombs, the makeup, the Shower Scrubs, face cleansers, etc. I decided to get a few Soap Bombs and a Bath Melt made out of lavender (since I was having problems sleeping in my last week of pregnancy).While I was checking out, I was going on and on and on about how I am a bit of product junkie when it comes to products for my hair. I told her I was always looking for a better product then the next. The cashier recommended that I use Curly Wurly shampoo. She gave me a few samples of it and said I will see you soon. I admired her confidence in the product and the fact that it was coming from a company that prides themselves on natural products.



I took it home and actually forgot all about it since I went into labor a few days later. I found them a couple of days ago in my purse and decided that day I was going to use it. I ran out of my regular shampoo so this came as a blessing. The samples came in a small container that I thought wasn't going to be enough for my hair but that wasn't the case at all!!! With this product, a little definitely does go a long way! A small lip balm sized container washed my whole head. I was impressed at that since I usually have to use a whole lot of product on my head to clean and condition. It lathered up very well and once rinsed out, it left my hair moisturized with defined curls! What I didn't like was the smell and the pieces of coconut that got left in my hair after using it. It smelled a little too earthy to me and it took awhile to get the pieces out (even when I thought I got it all out, turns out that I didn't). 

I personally think that the outcome outweighs the smell and the coconut pieces. It made my hair manageable, soft, fluffy and left me with a defined curl pattern! I was impressed by the way it made it feel! I couldn't keep my hands out of my hair ALL DAY. I give this a 7 out of 10. It might not be perfect or smell like roses and sunshine but If my hair likes it, I wouldn't mind using it again! 


Much Love,
Tori P.
