I am reviewing Miss Jessie`s Stretch Silkening Cream since I bought it thinking that it could become my holy grail moisturizer & styler in one. I bought it in Canada (Honeyfig store on Yonge & Sheppard) for $32.00 (8 oz jar). I washed my hair using Paul Mitchell`s Awapuwi shampoo. I followed with Suave conditioner. I applied the cream to my wet hair. I tried the product alone, with the Quick Curls, and with a leave-conditioner.
Smell: the product has a light, flowery smell that is not as strong as the Curly Pudding, Buttercream, Baby Buttercream or the Meringue, which for me are simply too overpowering. People at my work were complaining about the smell in the hallway
. It almost smells like a hand lotion and is not sweet or does not smell like vanilla or candy in any way.
Feel & Look: When used alone without the Quick Curls or a leave in, my hair felt hard, crunchy, and had the same feel of the Curly Pudding
. When I used it with the Quick Curls I had the best results. My hair was well defined and felt moisturized. It felt dry to the touch and was not greasy. My hair did not feel overly weighed down as it did with the Buttercreams. When I used a leave-in underneath, I got similar results to when I used it with the Quick Curls.
Overall: I liked the way that my hair looked with this product. I think that Miss Jessie`s did a good job of coming up with this product; however, I wished that the product did not have mineral oil in it for the price. To me, when used alone, it feels more like a styler, so it really has to be used with the Quick Curls or with a leave in for added moisture. At least it worked this way on my hair, which I get texturized 3-4 times a year. I find that this product is too expensive to be using along with the Quick Curls, which is also expensive. As much as I liked the results, for the price, I will leave it alone and will not repurchase.

which is a thousand times lighter than any of the other products. I actually liked the smell of the curly pudding, but it was simply too strong for me and often gave me a headache
