I am kinda behind with my Inbox, especially with reader's mail, but I am trying to get to them as soon as possible. Here's one that I actually had an immediate answer for.
I am biracial, like you, and for the past few months I have been wearing my hair naturally curly. I have also gained an addiction for Miss Jessie's products, especially the Curly Buttercream. Unfortunately, the price of her products are hurting my pockets. Do you know of any cheaper alternatives for curly hair? ~ Thalia
Well,Thalia, Traci recently posted about the love of Miss Jessie's, but also how much they hurt the pockets and I agree. Miss Jessie's is like crack, once you get hook its done! However, I do know of another line for curly hair that is almost as good and a whole lot less!
The line is called Curls, pretty simple and to the point don't you think!! Anyway, I haven't had the chance to try all the products from this line but the few I have are great alternatives.
The first one is Curls' Milkshake. Its a lovely 4 in 1 conditioner that is perfect for maintaining moisture in your hair. Occasionally, I use it in the morning to revive the moisture and softness that my satin cap can't always keep, but mostly I use it immediately after I wash and/or condition my hair. I then let it airdry and call it done! Its very light and creamy, which makes it perfect for most hair types.
However, if you are like me and are cursed with super thick hair, then the Curl Milkshake can't save you all the time. That's when its time to break out the big guns or in this case Curls Whipped Cream, which is a really heavy cream that delivers moistured curls out of dry kinks. This is what I use when I am delicately rationing out my Miss Jessie's Buttercream, because it also helps tame edges and holding curls. Plus, it smells incredible. Can't go wrong with a faint vanilla scent in your hair!
I hope this helps, because I highly recommend these two products in particular. I do, however, want to try a couple more products from them and I just might!
Stay Stylish!
