Miss Jessie's Honey Curls Hair Gelee Review

 I'm trying to convince myself to start baking. It's just so hot I really don't wanna run the oven. But I really want to make a cake. I think I'll do two more posts and then get in the kitchen to get started and hopefully some of the heat has dissipated.

Made in USA

I'm no stranger to Miss Jessie's. I've used a few of their products- my fave being the Multi-Cultural curls. Since I liked that so much, I'm a little more open to trying more. And how can I resist something named Honey Curls?

The price isn't terrible- which is another thing that makes me more willing to try them. She used to sell the largest sizes at the highest prices. They have since come down and though this still isn't cheap it's a bit more reasonable.

 The texture is a gel cream. Seems to be a popular texture for curl products these days. It does leave my hair kinda dry though. So a moisturizing leave-in conditioner underneath it is a must. It goes on clear for the most part and dries fast.

I get definition and slightly stretched out curls. Just the teeniest bit. Which is different from most products that encourage more shrinkage. For the most part, I like it.

Almost forgot to mention the scent. So many of her products smell like laundry detergent which is a scent I hate in haircare/skincare/candles. This has a nice fresh scent that isn't too heavy and dissipates quickly.

It isn't greasy..nor heavy.

The ingredients are OK. It has honey (of course) and sweet almond oil. I'm not thrilled with all the acrylate/methyl acrylate, polymer type, pvp type of ingredients which would probably prevent me from repurchasing. I just don't think they are really good for the hair. 

Ingredients:

Water, Sorbitol, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Acrylates/Steareth-20, Methacrylate Copolymor, Glycerin, PVP, Polysorbate-20, Carbomer, Fragrance (Perfume), Disodium EDTA, Honey, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Ethylhexlglycerin, Glycerth-2 Cocoate, Yellow 5, Yellow 6

Overall, it's fine. I didn't have any issue with it. I think I still prefer the Multi-Cultural Curls. There are other stylers I would repurchase instead of this and that's mostly due to ingredients.  But I would still try more from the line.
