Miss Jessie's Leave In Condish 8 fl.oz/237ml

Still using it

lovely smelling product

This left my hair solid and crunchy, tried to persist in the hopes it would work for my curly hair but ended up in the bin. Smells like cleaning products and I am not entirely convinced if this is the genuine product. It was gloop and thick and very difficult to squeeze out of the bottle to actually be able to use!

Works well with natural hair

Good stuff. Could not find at my Target locally, or my regular grocery store, so I ordered it here.I bought on the recommendation of another curly girl, Caucasian, who is friends with a woman who is Indian-American, also with curly hair; they both use and love this stuff. Their texture is very different from mine-- thin, fine and wavy, vs very curly.My African -American friend has super thin, fine hair and felt this did not work as well for her, but she is very tightly and kinky-curled, and her texture is even more coarse and rough than mine.I am Caucasian with very thick, coarse and bushy, spiral-curly hair underneath and looser, less spirally curly hair on top. It is not thin or fine anywhere on my head, and it has various types of curl throughout (spiral, wavy, kinky, and weirdly, almost straight)-- and lots and lots and lots of frizz.I can only use this right after washing my hair. If I try to put it in my 2nd or 3rd day, unwashed hair, it can feel too thick and stiff, and does not perform the same as when put in wet.It really helps hold the curl pattern and reduce frizz, though I still do use Frizz ease or another silicone/dimethicone product as my hair has no natural shine due to its coarseness/roughness. I do not have issues with silicones or derivatives, as my hair is so very thick--if it were fine or fragile, I would not use them.I air dry and never blow dry; I do not straighten or flat iron my hair. I do not use curlers or rollers of any kind. Not for everyday--maybe once in a while for a special occasion.Leave-in condish is a great addition to my hair-care arsenal. It is not too expensive, lasts a long time and does not have an unpleasant smell. I do not break out on my hands or head when using this regularly, which happens often enough with other products I have used.

I have low porosity, thick, 4c hair. My hair's natural tendency is to afro. It is not affected by gravity. This leave-in is awesome. I apply after shampooing and conditioning in the shower while my hair is still dripping wet. A little goes a long way (about half a tablespoon for me). That's saying something. My hair typically drinks hair products, but not this leave-in. I can achieve a passible wash n go with this stuff if I want to as well (although that takes a bit more than the dollop I typically use!).I also use this on my daughter's hair. She is mixed and has 3a/3b, fine, high porosity hair. I use a tiny bit on her hair when wet and can detangle her whole head quickly. I also put the Pillow Soft Curls product on her hair and it works great. Had originally gotten that product for myself but it was too light-weight. I'll be trying the Curly Buttercreme for myself instead as I need a heavier product. :)I bought a couple bottles of this leave-in at eight bucks a few months ago. I guess it depends on the seller, but I have a feeling Miss Jessie's will be phasing the bottle out in favor of the tube they now provide. This stuff is thick and hard to squeeze out of the bottle. I have to store it upside-down.The smell took a little getting used to but it's not overpowering and deminishes once the product is fully absorbed into your hair. If your hair is crunchy/coated after applying and drying, you used too much. Scale it back.

Love this product. It does not make your hair feel greasy at all. I will continue to use it. It is a bit pricey though. People with long hair will be using a lot more then someone with short hair so it could become very costly.

This really helps soften my 4a/4b/4c hair... I have 3 different textures in my hair, so you can imagine how difficult it is to maintain these strands. I don't use the Miss Jessie's shampoo, I have WEN for that, but the Miss Jessie's leave-in condish is great for me. Here's my regiment: I wash with my WEN shampoo, then I put the Miss Jessie's Leave-in Condish on my damp hair in four sections. I put all natural African Shea Butter to seal in the moisture, and lastly, as my styler I use Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls (for 3a and softer hair texture I suggest Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls). Use your fingers only when applying these products, never your comb. As Taylor Swift sang, to define your curls Shake It Off! Don't try to separate your curls with a comb or your hands, once the products are distributed all over your hair then just shake your hair in a 'yes' 'no' 'all over' motion and voila! you're done. I place this regiment in all the Miss Jessie's products I use because at times I searched far and wide on how to perfect my wash-n-go's and this is how I do it. For those who has given Miss Jessie's a bad review, it wasn't that the product was bad, maybe it just wasn't compatible to their hair textures, so I hope this helps.
