Birchbox Breakdown

It’s a cardinal curly hair rule: work with your strands, not against them. Miss Jessie’s® makes that easy with this weightless styling cream, which enhances hair’s natural bounce and shape without any heaviness. Whether your hair is naturally kinky, curly, or wavy, the moisturizing formula does away with frizz and dryness. And since it’s packed full of moisturizing botanicals, it doubles as a rescue treatment for fried and over-processed hair.

How it Works

This light-as-air cream gets to work immediately, sealing in hydration and adding shine, while also softening and strengthening each strand. The secret to the formula is its winning combo of plant extracts, including grape seed, lavender, and chestnut. You can thank an infusion of ginger flower and lime for the fresh, sweet scent.

How to Use

Apply a tablespoon or so of the cream to damp hair, section by section. Don’t rinse out. Air dry your hair, or use a blow dryer with a diffuser for extra volume. Marvel at the amazing results.

WORTH IT!!!

My hair is wavy but tangles so easily cause its fine yet i have alot. My hair is crazy the only way to fully control it without using pounds or hairgel is using miss jessies quick curl cream. It leaves my hair soft, touchable, untangled and looking great!

Curls for days.

I have never used a product this good before. I recently bought Pillow Soft Curls and love it but I am not in love with it the same way as this product! It left my hair looking soft with out frizz. I have never had soft hair sans frizz and it was a wonderful feeling. The smell is great once its on your head and your hair has dried. I love when I move my head that I can still smell it.

Curls Best Friend

I adore this cream! Finally something that holds my curls keeping the frizz away while still letting them be SOFT! I've tried a few of their products and this is by far my fave. I had never heard of it before getting my BB sample. Now I can't live without it!!!

Curls, curls everywhere

The curls! For me, this is one product that does what it promises. It gives me soft, glossy curls with plenty of volume and not a lot of frizz. My hair in its natural state is on the drier side, covered in years worth of hair coloring, and has to deal with the texture that comes along with those stubborn grey hairs that even dye can't cover up. My mother even asked me "What are you using and where can I get some" in regards to this product, which says a lot.

The one issue is that if you do have curly hair and you go a while between washes, you may find that the curls do go flat after a while. This could just be a time issue, and I wouldn't hold it against the product.

Doesn't work at all

I have thick curly hair. This did not work on my hair at all. It looked great when my hair was wet but at my hair dried it just got frizzier and frizzier. I threw the rest of it away.

Great for this girl's curls

Gives my curls texture, definition, and bounce. I am Caucasion with color-treated but naturally curly hair that tends to be frizzy. My hair is not naturally thick and can be a little fine, so I was afraid this would be too heavy. It's not. A nice light scent (unlike the Pillow Soft Curls, which smelled like fabric softener).

Mixed feelings

When I first used the sample of Quick Curls my husband complained about the smell. I didn't notice a problem, so continued to use it while he was out of town. It took some work to figure out how it works best with my hair. If I used it after my morning shower my hair felt stiff the rest of the day, but if I use it at night and then sleep on it my hair feels soft and hold pretty curls.

Works well but heavy

I liked what this product did for my very thick, coarse, wavy hair. Shaped my curls and kept them from frizzing, but it was a little heavy and greasy. It was lasted well, but by the end of the day I found myself wanting to wash my hair again because I felt like it would leave residue on my pillow case. I think this might work better for those with very curly hair.

Amazing product

This tames my curls and makes my hair look amazing. I get constant compliments on my hair when i use this product! I keep a bottle at home and one at the gym.

WOW! This stuff is amazing!

I've tried all sorts of curl products, with little success in most cases. I was hesitant to spend this much money on a product, but after receiving a sample from Miss Jessie in my monthly box, I thought I would give it a shot. WOW. The first time I put this in my hair, I could practically feel my hair curling in my hands. Soft hold, not crunchy, and the curls stayed all day. I may have found my new favorite hair product!!!
