General Questions

My hair is completely relaxed. Can I use any of Miss Jessie’s™ products?

Absolutely! Start with our Crème de la Curl non-sulfate cleanser and Super Sweetback deep conditioning treatment. Curly Buttercreme and Baby Buttercreme would be great for you as a daily moisturizer. This rich non-greasy cream is also excellent for smoothing down your hairline edges. For curly options, you can use Miss Jessie’s Curly Meringue and proceed to do a spiral set using flexible rods.

I have straight relaxed ends in addition to new growth (natural hair). I did not get great curls after using Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding. What can I do?

For optimum results, you will have to remove the straight ends to get the maximum texture. The ends of your hair dictate the over-all look. If you're not ready to get your ends cut, you will have to roll the ends using perm or flexible rods.

I have a Jerri curl. Can I use Miss Jessie’s products?

Yes. You can switch it up and use Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding or Curly Meringue on occasion. Keep in mind that a Jerri curl is a double process chemical service and cannot survive too long if the hair is not saturated in a wet environment (activator). So eventually you will have to go back to your Jerri curl routine. Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme and Baby Buttercreme would be a great daily moisturizer for you!

Do I need an over-head dryer or can I let it air dry?

If your hair is thick and long we recommend a portable tabletop overhead dryer to speed up drying time. We also recommend full drying time for a superb result. Drying time on average kinky hair is about 1 hour. Summer months and warms climates accommodate air-drying. You may use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to dry and style your curls.

Products

What is the difference between Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding and Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme?

Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding is a styling cream. Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme is a rich moisturizing cream but doubles as a styling cream. Great for any natural styling technique (coiling, two strand twist, fingerstyling, etc).

What is the difference between Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme and Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme?

Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme and Baby Buttercreme perform the same. However, Miss Jessie’s Curly Buttercreme has an invigorating peppermint scalp sensation and scent. Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme does not have the peppermint scent. Yet, it is mildly scented for children.

I just started my transition and I don't want to do the "Big Chop", which products should I use during this time?

You may use Crème de la Curl non-sulfate cleanser along with Super Sweetback Treatment deep conditioner. Quick Curls or Curly Meringue styling creams with flexible rods for a soft curl look, and Baby Buttercreme for moist and daily maintenance.

What is the difference between Curly Pudding and Curly Meringue?

Curly Pudding is our heaviest styling cream yet, providing hold, definition, and moisturizers to give your hair more control and combat shrinkage. Curly Meringue provides hold, definition without moisturizers to create more volume.

Can I mix Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding with Baby Buttercreme together when I’m applying to my wet hair?

Yes. Our customers get very creative with the products as well. The end results vary.

My hair is naturally kinky and I got a great curly result using Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding but some areas still look like an afro. What can I do?

It may be that you did not apply enough product on the areas (make sure hair is freshly damped). Give all areas the same attention. For areas that have less/no texture (no-circular kink), you'll have to physically add texture yourself. Try Coiling or a Double Strand Twist in those areas. After it’s completely dry, you can blend the difference in curl by finger combing.

I am a stylist and I've been using a "dab" of Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding and Miss Jessie’s Curly Meringue to "wrap & curl." It comes out great! Is this okay?

Absolutely! Many stylists are doing the same with a primarily relaxed clientele. Miss Jessie’s CURLY PUDDING™ is non-chemically altering.

I have a whole jar of this Curly Pudding. How can I use this product?

Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding has so many functions. If you did not get the hang of one styling method you have other options. Try a Double Strand Twist set, Coiling or Fingerstyling. You can also use curl pudding on relaxed hair.

Do some of your products contain mineral oils? Isn’t bad for your hair?

Mineral oil is just one ingredient in some of our products. Our products also contain other natural oils such as sweet almond oil, avocado oil, macadamia seed oil and shea butter which are proven to be moisturizing to the hair as well.

Do your products contain alcohol?

As far as alcohol, our products contain Cetyl alcohol which is not anything like the drying alcohols. It is actually a fatty alcohol that helps to moisturize the hair. It is a very common ingredient in shampoos and conditioners.

Set aside at least 2-4 hours give or take. Working with natural hair can be a very manual process.

I am taking out my braids and I am scheduled for a Silkener™. Is it okay to take them out the night before?

No. The Silkener™ is a chemical process/service. We recommend taking braids out one-week and washing your hair 3-4 days prior to your visit so your scalp will not be sensitive.

I feel a little self-conscious arriving at your salon without my hair done. I'd like to come with my hair styled and with product in it. Will you still be able to determine what my curly style options will be when you consult with me?

No. We cannot give an accurate consultation if your hair is not in its natural state.

I don't want any chemicals. If I come in for a consultation, will you try and push a Silkener™ on me?

Absolutely not. Through consultation, we will inform you of all the non-chemical services that might interest you.

Do you guys only specialize in Ethnic hair?

Miss Jessie’s is a full-service salon with expertise in all hair types and textures including curly, kinky and wavy.

Do you use your own products?

We use our very own products on all natural style services at Miss Jessie’s Salon.
