Q: My hair is fine and on the looser end of curly hair type. So like 3a to 3b and I was wondering if this product is good for me?

submitted by Harper - 3 years ago
  • A: Yes! It would be a great product for your hair type. For hold, I would recommend trying Jelly Soft Curls and for conditioner, our Leave In Condish! For soft bouncy curls, try Feather Soft Curls!

    submitted byMiss Jessie's - 2 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: No, I also have fine, 3a to 3b, and oily hair. I tried it twice and I really didn't like how it felt. It weighed down the volume, heavy feel & curl shrinkage(I have long hair) except it really does give curl definition. I noticed some comments here don't like to scent but I do like it to be honest and not overwhelming. Lastly, I'm surprised hair loss. I'm not sure it's true. I might try it one more time. Just going to add less product for this product (pillow soft curls lotion) & jelly soft curls gel. I hope this help

    submitted byNikki - 2 months ago

Q: Is this more of a gel to help the curls last or a leave in conditioner?

submitted by none - 1 year ago
  • A: I’ve only used it once. It’s more of a cream. Leaves your curls nice and soft but nicely defined.

    submitted byNanae - 3 months ago

Q: My hair is not really curly, it's more naturally wavy. Would this product possibly work for wavy hair?

submitted by Charlie - 5 years ago
  • A: Yes - I have pretty wavy hair, and I like how it helps smooth my hair in a way that cuts down on the frizz and flyaways so that the wavy texture shows more clearly. It really cuts down on the amount of styling work I have to do to have it look good when I want to let my natural texture show.

    submitted byJen - 5 years ago

Q: Is this good for low porosity hair?

submitted by Nancy - 6 years ago
  • A: Yes! I have low porosity hair and it works great alone for volume and fluffy curls, or under a heavier styler like a custard or my fav wetline gel!

    submitted byReaB - 4 years ago

Q: Does the product contain alcohol

submitted by DeniseA - 6 years ago
  • A: It contains Benzyl alcohol which is a non-volatile alcohol used as a preservative in products. It should not impact the texture or feel of your hair. ... This makes it much more hydrophilic (water-loving), so that it can attract and hold water to the hair.

    I love this hair cream, my hair is 2b hair type. Tighter curl framing my face, more loose toward the back where longer. I love how it doesn't seem greedy, weigh my hair down but keeps my hair in order. I love the smell. Personally I love more heavily scented products so if your sensitive to smell it is stronger in that category. It does indeed remind me of fresh laundry. It's sold with the ethnic hair products but it works wonders on my red head hair!

    NativeNY - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I absolutely love Pillow Soft Curls - I mix it with a little bit of Miss Jessie’s Sweetback conditioner or use the Sweetback as a base and my 4c curls drink it up! Super defined curls and the next day I just spritz some water on, add a tiny bit more Pillow Soft and keep it moving. On the 2nd night, I moisturize my hair with Baby Buttercream and I’m set. Love the scent, love the feel and how my hair looks afterwards. Fave!

    I only use miss Jessie’s on my little guy. It’s crazy how his hair isn’t crunchy after. It’s just extremely soft, and the smell is strong but I don’t mind it and luckily for my son he doesn’t have sensitive scalp or skin. Yes it’s pricey but it’s definitely worth it

    This product doesn’t give enough definition or hold. I know it’s supposed to be soft curls but my hair was a frizzy mess. And the worst part is the smell. It’s so off putting that I had to wash my hair the same day again to get the smell to go away. I don’t even know how to describe the smell other than cheap powder. Even if the product gave me amazing curls, the smell would be a deterrent.

    Soft defined curls, no flakes, and no abhorrent smell. Works with my shampoo, conditioner, leave-in and argon oil that I use currently. Simply dampen my hair and reuse the next day and like new. Once it is dry and hair sets, it is good for the day. I like I that I can get several days from my wash and go. The product is expensive but I feel it gets the job done since you do not need to use a lot of product. I also like it cause my hair and scalp does not like gel. Product is a nice medium to lightweight not too heavy or light.

    The smell is over whelming even through out the day or if you rinse it out baby powder is a yucky scent to give a hair product it dried my skin out and my hair but left my hair greasy if that makes sense and gave me a rash , do. A skin test prior even if you have no allergies

    I was recommended this for my curls because I have fine hair and it does work very well. It leaves my curls bouncy and well-defined without weighing them down. I get pretty good second and third day curls as well. The scent is pretty unpleasant though, like a household product, and lasts for a while. Hopefully they will change it or release a scent-free version.

    Caused hair loss. Beware! I ignored the other reviews that mentioned hair loss and bought it anyway. After about 3 weeks of inconsistent use (not daily use), my hair started falling off in the shower. I stopped use immediately but hair still falling out days after. I do blame this product because I didn’t do anything different other than start this product and also because of the other reviews saying the same. And if you must use it I would advise to at least not use on a child. Who knows what this stuff contains.

    Leslie R - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I've used it once and it seems to be OK. I'll need to work with different amounts and keep experimenting. Unfortunately, I think the smell might dissuade me from trying again. It is not modern at all, and is very strong. If you want to smell like an old lady from the 1960's, this is for you.
