• Adds Superior Shine and Healthy Luster, Never Dull

Let me preface this review with the following:  this product will not make the Curly Girl Method Holy Grail list!  It's second product is the demon of hair product ingredients "mineral oil."

For me, this is NOT a problem!  In fact, my 3b/c curls loves, loves, and let me say it again LOVES mineral oils and silicones!  There, I said it!

I do understand the drying effect that these products can cause when used long-term.  However, I'm a wash n' goer as my primary go to style and am co-washing tresses every three days and washing with a stronger shampoo every 10 - 12 days to ward off product buildups.

My tresses HATES long-term usage of only natural oils which, for me, caused an on-slaught of Single Strand Knots due to the coiliness of my hair that tends to wrap and tangle.

Product Ingredients:

Water, parafinium liquidum (aka mineral oil), glycerin, triethanolamine, fragrance, carbomer, PEG-12 dimethicone, dipropylene glycol, silk amino acids, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, avocado oil, shea butter, sweet almond oil, jojoba seed oil, macademia seed oil, oleth-05, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, disodium EDTA, DMDM hydantoin, ext. violet 2

How I Used the Product:

I co-washed with Tresemme Moisture Enhancing Conditioner, rinse some out, and applied the Miss Jessie's Curling Pudding on "extremely" wet hair.  I created 14-sections and twisted my hair, tied-down my hair and went to sleep.  Needless to say, my 3b/3c hair was still damp (I don't apply heat to my hair). so I re-tied with a scarf, commuted to work, and took down the twists.

Cons:

• Price not Reasonable for Average Consumer
• Can Cause Severe Crunch and Flakes When Too Much Is Used
• May Not Play Well With All Conditioners and/or Moisturizers
• Not A Holy Grail Item for "Natural-Products" Naturalistas
• Most 4b to 4c's Don't Have Great Results (However this is a CURL-Enhancing Product!)
• Using Too Much Will Weigh Hair Down and Make It Tacky/Sticky
• You Can Find A Cheaper Product -- "Let's Jam" That Can Give You Similar Results

My Final Thoughts:

The product is able to do what the product says that it can in capable hands.  There is a learning curve, but no more than other products that I've used.  Looking at my hair now, it has great body and isn't matted or "glued" together.  Hair is touchable and shiny.  The nature of 3c hair is frizz.  So to be honest, I have some but my common practice is to mist hair by mid-day anyway.

The movability of my tresses are remarkable!  I'm kinda liking this Miss Jessie's Curling Pudding, even though it pans out to a "small investment!" LOL! 

Will I purchase again!  Definitely!
