Some Soft Curl Secrets, Courtesy of Miss Jessie's
All curly girlies know how hard it can be to find the right products to sculpt curls effectively, while simultaneously enhancing their natural beauty. Some products can be too heavy, weighing curls down and detracting from their natural bounce and coily shape, others are too light and don't do enough to keep the frizz factor under control. The most common complaint I've heard is that many products seem to have a "one curl fits all" mentality about hair, often being too severe and heavy-duty for sculpting and protecting finer curly textures. I've heard many curling gels described as almost glue-like, creating a dry, crispy, crunchy feel to the hair, often leaving chunky, flakey, unflattering residue left behind, from what could not be absorbed by the hair. Now, this is not an underhanded attempt at throwing shade, I'm just being honest about what I have heard through the grapevine and even experienced myself firsthand with some products. While certain textures of curls can handle the extra intense hold, they can be overwhelming and less effective for other textures. Everyone has their own individualized hair texture, personal style, and therefore is entitled to their individual curly maintenance preferences. As leading curl experts, we at Miss Jessie's feel it is our duty to create products that ultimately accommodate the needs of the entire curly-haired spectrum. For those curly girlies who want a sculpted, definitive hold and look to their curls, but also want something lightweight that does not leave hair feeling sticky or crispy, Miss Jessie's has a plethora of solutions.
For some reason, there is this great misconception about what is required to care for and style naturally curly hair. People seem to assume that in order to get the best hair results, curly hair requires the use of a gel. This could not be further from the truth. Gels are not the best method for every curly texture and not everyone wants a definitive, ramen noodle look to their curls. If this sounds like you, Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls is your ideal styler - it is perfect for curly cuties that aspire for large, soft, expanded, fluffy, static-free curls, without running the risk of feeling crunchy. The secret is, this product is actually not your typical gel but instead is actually a styling lotion. In addition to being super easy to apply, it also smells great!
