I always found Miss Jessie’s products intriguing. The jazzy packaging, expensive cost and their cult following made me think the products must be something special. For years I had tried to stay away from hair products packed with icky ingredients like mineral oil, petroleum, sulfates, cones, parabens, cheap hydrogenated oils etc. and was always willing to pay the price for quality all natural ingredients. So I was surprised to read Miss Jessie’s ingredient lists considering what their hefty price tags. Anyway, throwing all caution to the wind, and removing the stick from my….I decided to take advantage of their holiday 2 for 1 sale and was able to get my hands on some deep conditioners. I purchased the Miss Jessie’s Super Sweetback Treatment and their Rapid Recovery Treatment. After my first use of the Super Sweetback Treatment…I fell in love. I have fine, porous 4C type kinky hair and have always found it difficult to find a great moisturizing deep conditioner. This one does the trick!

My experience
Promoted as an “essential growth treatment”, this is a very thick and creamy deep conditioner and a little goes a long way. A golf ball size amount is more than enough for my shoulder length hair.
Scent
Smells like bubblegum, candy, gumdrops, rainbows and unicorns. Those who aren’t a fan of strong scents may find this sickeningly sweet. I find the scent bearable but it is pretty strong and does stay in the hair after being rinsed out.
Does it do the job?
I must admit this product really does make my hair feel soft and moisturized. I give it a 7.5/10. It loses points because at $32 for 32oz I will never pay full price for this product. If it were cheaper I can see it being more of a staple. However, there are cheaper products that also do a great job. If you don’t mind splurging, I’d say this is worth a try.
