Also, that “Curly…” shirt is too cute! But alas, we can never be. And it’s sad too, because I love their advertising and the design of their website. I won’t lie, they leave a bad taste in my mouth. My thoughts on them has nothing to do with their products. I’m not even that opposed to them anymore, there are some other companies that make natural products that are just as shadester, I guess that’s how you make money in this day and age. Have I tried Miss Jessie’s? Nope! And don’t plan to (UPDATE – I actually did try them to form an educated and final opinion on the company due to some of the comments left on this blog that wanted to call me names like natural nazi and hater…and no, I didn’t like them…but that really isn’t even the point. Do you – I’m sure there are some things that work for my hair that do not work for you hair, so you wouldn’t use my products. I am not your curl messiah and I don’t tell people what to do.ĭisclaimer: Before I write this post, I want you to know that if you use Miss Jessie’s products and they work for you, good for you! I am not knocking anyone who uses Miss Jessie’s and likes it in any way. Personally, products that contain mineral oil do not generally work for me (not just MJ’s products), but it’s up to you. But admittedly, they don’t annoy me *as much.* Again, if you love the products, sexy legumes and and may the force of the curl be with you. Anyhow, while I commend Miss Jessie’s for the changes they have made over the past couple of years, they are certainly still far from being one of my stellar choices when it comes to caring for my hair (although the Super Sweetback Treatment is okay and I use it before I straighten b/c of the cones). Now…the 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 won’t comment on that – companies charge what they charge, and people pay what they want to pay. They have also opened a salon called CurlBar, where they only do curly styles (no chemicals).
That’s not my hair journey, but as it is the priority for several women, I can’t be mad at them for capitalizing on that marketing angle. Since that time, Miss Jessie’s has made some changes for the better, including adding the ingredients to their site, changing their tagline (to “The Best Darn Products…Period” – which is still a giggle but fair enough), and concentrating less on turning kinks into curls, although I still feel as if their main focus is curl definition.
