Review: Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding

If you follow this blog, then you know yesterday I posted a H.O.T.D pic.
If not, you can find the pic here.
I was feeling and looking great, and the products I used were Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding and some EVOO. So, today for the first time EVER on my blog I am humbly submitting my review of this product.

Note: I was in no way paid to endorse, or review this product and all the opinions are solely my own.
So let's begin with a walk through the 5 senses: Scent, Sight, Touch, Taste, and Sound. First, We shall begin with Scent.The product smells heavenly and I was taken back aromatically with the fragrant, lavender smell. I mean, gee it REALLY smells divine.
Next, Sight. The product looks purplish in color and even resembles a lavender, or lilac purple and even comes in a nifty purple container. It has a thick, creamy, non-watery texture as a cream should.  So, yes, I was smitten, as Purple is my absolute favorite color!
Then there is , Taste & Sound, which for my health's sake has been purposely omitted out of the review.LOL. We follow up lastly with Touch, and I will say this: I don't know if the underlying EVOO had something to do with my hands being VERY sticky but I did have looks of icky, sticky residue on hand during twisting! I remedied this problem by simply wiping my hands every few minutes on a few of my son's baby wipes.
So, my all in all Honest opinion of Miss Jessie's :
It is a pleasant smelling, consumer appealing, darn good styling agent. It does curl the nicely as it suggests, it was easy to apply, and a little goes a LOONG way, BUT it isn't budget friendly. It will cost you a nice penny, but in my opinion its worth it. I won this product in a giveaway BUT after first use I will definitely use it again, and will purchase myself!  My hair loved it!
I give it 4 out of 5 stars. 1 pt. deducted because of the residue, BUT otherwise AMAZING stuff.

Book Review #1

  I work in the school District, and we work hard all year just awaiting the words S-U-M-M-E-R! I say this because the summer leaves me with more time to enjoy things I love.
I can spend more time with my son JJ,  family, vacation properly, EVEN read!
One of the books that I enjoyed reading this summer was: The Curly Girl Handbook by Lorraine Massey. I had many a YouTube friend raving about the Curly Girl, or CG method and I had to try it~I bought the book in April as a Birthday gift to myself, and I love it!

 Lorraine is a beautiful, self-professed curly girl and Salon Owner. She has many years in the haircare business, and has compiled all of her knowledge on hair and expertise into this nifty little Handbook! She has this curly hair stuff down to a science!! But I found that most of her info, Naturals in today's society already know!Here is my Book Review:
 Things I Learned
There are 7 different types of curl patterns:
1. Botticelli- Curls that vary in size and shape! 
2.Corkicelli-Curls w/varying curl patterns!
3.Cherub-Curls that are soft to the touch, and baby-fine. Resembling hair of a young toddler!
4.Wavy -Curls that loose curl pattern; Can appear straight!
5.S-wavy -Curls that are defined + wavy with a slight bend on the end; Curls resemble an "S"
6. Fractal or Zigzag -Curls that most women of color have; Very dry and resembles micro-spirals or corkscrews!

7. The Curly Girl Method-A daily routine which involves cleansing with sulfate-free  or Botanical shampoo- Conditioning, and leaving most in hair for moisture- Scrunching, with a microfiber towel to absorb excess moisture and lastly-Styling with a handful of gel being added to hair to define curls and hold your hair's natural shape!

8. How-To make some homemade products targeted to Curly Girls!
9. There are tons of natural hair classification systems;Lorraine's classification system of curl patterns is one of the BEST I've seen!
Things I Knew
 10 Hair doesn't need Shampoo to thrive and grow. Most naturals already do conditioner washes! >I JUST NEVER TRIED THEM MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF TIMES:(

11. Water is essential to hair growth 
12. Most naturals already know about shrinkage; Lorraine calls it " Spring Factor"- LOL.




In the end, the book was an awesome read, and at a price of  $9.99, I say grab it. It can always be used as a refresher course. It has the Actual DVD that assists you in learning how-to do the CG Method step by step! I would buy the book again for myself OR someone I love just so they can learn the CG Method. ***Once I have these twist taken out I am trying her method.
