Much of how we perceive ourselves physically, and for many of us, the confidence that we have in our looks, begins with how we feel about our hair. Negative thoughts—even passing ones—can wilt our flowers of self-esteem as we journey into developing a carefree attitude toward our hair. Whether you’re first going natural, years in, or struggling with relaxed strands, many of us often feel discontent with our locks when they don’t do what we want them to.

Mini Review: Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls

*My silly sister gives us a short, slightly confused review of Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls. Here’s what she had to say about the product:

I used about half of the [sample] pack of Pillow Soft Curls, but could’ve used less. I barely dried my hair, put on the product, then put a t-shirt back on my head while I got dressed to let it dry. It gives me the same effect as the Crème Brulee and My Honey Child, which is soft hold with curl definition, which I love. Since I have products that give me the same results, I don’t see myself buying it again.

Now, the slight downside. Not that it was a bad thing, just a little strange, is that I felt like I was wearing fresh laundry all day. It wasn’t too strong, but I could smell it and I wondered if other people could too. It felt like I was walking around with dryer sheets in my pocket, LOL. It wasn’t unpleasant, just like, ‘Huh?’ as in I didn’t know what to think about it.

There you have it, folks. A short and sweet review of Pillow Soft Curls.
