An Observation & Miss Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment

Today was wash day. I washed one time with Suave Coconut Shampoo and then applied Miss Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment. I got the 2oz sample size, and let's just say my hair feels ahmazing! I mean Ahhhhhmazing. I absolutely love her treatments. Rapid Recovery was always good to me as well. But, this stuff. I have NEVER been able to detangle my hair as easily as I have with this new treatment. The comb was gliding through my hair like buttah! The consistency out of the jar was a bit stiff, and the smell was kind of odd at first. I read online that it smells like cotton candy, but it doesn't smell like that in the jar if that makes any sense. It didn't take much for my super thick and coarse hair, and then it did smell a little bit like cotton candy, but not in a heavy way. That was always my complaint with Oyin, it's way too sweet and sticky smelling for me (and I love sweet smells). Now, Miss Jessie's claims it will elongate your curls, enhance the definition, etc... From one treatment I do not have elongated curls- I still have a twa- and as far as definition-I really had a more stretched out fro. So, I guess it counts for something. But, most of all, my hair feels great. And, that works for me.

An observation- I think the problem with my hair the 1st time I was natural was that I used heat periodically, and I probably had some heat damage. Another observation- I read on bglh advice to a newbie natural to just enjoy your twa and not get so hung up on trying to do styles your hair isn't long enough for yet. I took this advice. All last week, I just sprayed my hair with Jane Carter Solution Hair Revitalizer spray or whatever it's called, fluffed my hair, and threw on a stylish headband. I must say it was a great accessory to my outfits and I got a lot of compliments on how pretty my hair was. And I can't complain that it only took me 2min tops to "do my hair." And it's a look I would be comfortable wearing to the District Attorney's office this summer. Every other day, I applied Miss Jessie's Curly Buttercream to my hair for moisture. By yesterday, I noticed that my hair was super dry however. I'm trying to stretch my washes to every two weeks. But, I may do a co-wash and deep conditioner once a week and see if it boosts my moisture levels. I'm also drinking my green monster shakes and trying to up the ante on water. That's where the real moisture will come in I'm sure.
