Birchbox Breakdown

The curly-hair experts at Miss Jessie’s® continue to impress us with their problem-solving, hair-maximizing products. Their latest formula helps curls look their best by adding volume while boosting shine. It loosens and lengthens tightly wound curls without weighing hair down. It’s great for the full spectrum of curly textures, from kinky coils to tight ringlets.

How it Works

This curl-enhancing cream stretches out each follicle for looser curls while adding volume and shine. Hydrolyzed wheat proteins and wheat amino acids fortify hair, while a team of moisturizing oils including coconut, jojoba, avocado, and olive add silkiness and softness.

How to Use

Apply this cream post-shower, while your hair is still wet. Work it through hair section by section and then let your hair air dry. Optional: for stretched-out curls, let hair air-dry. Grab sections and pull downward, while blow-drying from root to midshaft. For best results use a nozzle attachment.

This is great stuff.

Curly hair is hard; on days you need lots of soft weightless moisture, this is the greatest product! Not crunchy.

Best cream for curly hair!

I love this product, makes my curls manageable, not sticky and holds curl all day. Will be buying full-size ASAP!

Nice

I have used this stuff before and I keep coming back. I also use Curly Pudding which is also nice, but this stuff really gives curls a nice stretch. I have a 3A curl and currently have short hair and this stuff helps smooth it out without heating tools, so nice.

Perfect

This stuff smells amazing, and is really the only curl cream that works for my thick, wavy hair. I don't have to do anything after I put it in when it's wet, and it dries perfectly. Will be using this for a long time.

Incredible

This stuff is to die for. Whenever I use it I get a ton of compliments on my curls. I straighten my hair a lot because I find curly hair difficult to manage but this product makes my hair feel like dream.

Not for thick, coarse hair

I have thick, coarse, curly, color treated hair. I have yet to find the perfect product for my hair, but can say that this wasn't it. I don't wash my hair everyday (about every three days) and this left my hair feeling very greasy by the end of the first day. It was ok (not great but not bad) at holding curl, but I didn't like the greasy feeling. If you wash your hair everyday, you might want to give this a try. It isn't a bad product, just doesn't work for me.

Good curls, but a little heavy

The Stretch Silkening Creme worked really well - even in super humid/foggy San Francisco. It was a little heavy and made my hair greasy after less than a day. I also think I was allergic to it, but overall, was good at defining my curls.

Works like a charm on my curls!

Leaves a great, air-dried curl in place without the crunchiness of most other products/mousse. Plus the smell is great too!

Great Product

This product works great on my curls! Keeps the curls locked in, along with adding shine!

Love

Curls without the crunch! Very happy I got this sample. The full size has lasted me about 5 months. Not to shabby either...
