Last night I finally had some free time to stop by Target and view Miss Jessie's line of hair products. Miss Jessie's just does not fit my budget right now! Besides that I was reading the ingredients to one of the products and I saw that it contains MINERAL OIL and from my research and talking to a friend that has been natural for 3 years, mineral oil is a no-no for hair. Needless to say I did not purchase any of their products. Right below Miss J' s was The Jane Carter Solution line. Since I didn't recall hearing to much about it, I bypassed it, but I hope to try it soon. On the very bottom shelf of the display was a product called SheaMoisture. I picked up the deep conditioning hair masque (mask) the very thing I was looking for, read the ingredients and decided to give it a try. Plus it was only $9.99...I have read a few things by ladies who say they do pre-poo conditioning treatments for about a day and then proceed with their regular hair care regimen. Since I am serious and excited about going natural I decided to give it a try for my hair although I never read about anyone else saying they have used it before. I put a generous amount of the mask on my hair ( I dampened my dry hair a little first), I combed the mask through my hair starting at the ends and working my way up (I'm learning!), put on a plastic cap and got in the bed. Throughout the night I could feel a slight tingling sensation. The mask contains Sea Kelp which says it detoxifies hair, so maybe that's where the tingle came from. I left it in close to 8 hours, the tingling began to get to me. I had to wash it out!
The scent of the mask wasn't very strong. I am sensitive to strong scents so it was cool for me. The product isn't real liquidy or real thick. It seemed to emulsify when put it on my sectioned off hair. I have very thick hair so I had to rinse longer. I ended up leaving a bit of it in (it says that it is ok to leave some in) because it clung to my un-relaxed roots and I was getting tired of trying to get it all out. Once it was all rinsed out my scalp felt a bit revitalized (could've just been my imagination, lol). I proceeded with the rest of my regimen, wash, condition and air dry. After all that and my hair was completely dry, my roots were still super moisturized from the hair mask! I think I pretty much like it. I went to it's website, they have a few more products. The story behind it's creation is heartfelt. Will definitely be using this again soon!
