Jessicurl Stylers


Rockin' Ringlet's and Confident Coils Styling Solution

These two products confound me. The first two times I used them I got amazing curls--it turned my wavy hair to curly hair and held all day. I used a different brand conditioner as a rinse out both of those times. I then used them after using Jessicurl Gentle Lather Shampoo and Aloeba Daily conditioner and they were a dismal failure--my hair was all stringlets that were oily and producty and weighed down.

So I went back to the other shampoo and conditioner and have yet to be able to recreate the love I originally had. It may be that the oils in the product are too heavy or it may be my hair reacting to the mag sulfate. I'm not really sure. Or my hair could have changed or possibly the weather. The latter is less likely as I'm in SoCal and our weather is incredibly consistent.

I have tried each one alone--and found they are better that way for me now than together. Still my hair tends to be very stringy and if I do not watch the amount of product it looks very oily--the wet look and feel is not a good look for my fine and thin hair.

I cannot use these on my daughter due to the mag sulfate. Her hair is too dry to handle that amount of this ingredient. I'm going to be trying them over Christmas break to see if I can determine amounts, combo's, and so on. Since I make my own FSG (Flax Seed Gel) and that works great I suspect I can get the RR to work for me if I try it in different pairings. The Confident Coils Styling Solution I'm not too sure about--there is not enough hold for me and I'm not sure how much curl enhancing I get.

So for now the jury's out on these two. I'm hanging on to them to see if I can play around a bit more.

  1. It amazes me how our hair does such similar things sometimes. First time I used RR and CC, it was this nice beachy look. Didn't hold.

    Now, no matter what I do, I can't get it to look decent. They seem to be great high quality products that a lot of people love. They just don't do it for me.

  2. Totally agree. I like all her other stuff--just the styling stuff didn't really work. I do like the Awe Inspiring Spray though!!!

  3. May I suggest mixing the Rockin Ringlets with Darcy's Botanicals Natural Coils Curling Jelly? My hair type/texture is similar to your (fine, dry, porous). i get good results from this blend (over a dab of Lustrasilk Olive Oil leave-in).
