Natural Curls: The Sisters Behind Miss Jessie’s

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

In case you’re wondering what all the buzz is about when it comes to Miss Jessie’s, it directly relates to sisters Miko and Titi Branch who are the grandaughters of the original Miss Jessie.

Their grandma Jessie developed hair care products for the unique hair requirement of Miko and Titi who are a mix of African American (father) and Japanese (mother) heritage.

The sisters who are behind Miss Jessie’s are big news in the natural care movement which is behind wearing naturally kinky, curly or similar hair in a “natural” manner without chemicals or harsh hair care products.

Running a family business can be a challenging experience and as the world of Miss Jessie’s devotees know, Miko and Titi went through a period where they had a split.  The sisterly rift has now been healed and the two siblings are back together and working hand in hand to help people with naturally curly hair transform it into gorgeous “natural” curls.

The naturally curly world has also been buzzing about Miko’s Silkener chemical service which for all intents and purposess stretches and smooths coiled textures such as curls, kinks or waves.

Does The Silkener service follow a pure  “natural”  philosophy.  It depends on whom you talk to but the natural hair movement is divided  on whether you can have a “natural” hairstyle if chemicals are deployed. (more…)

360 Waves Caps

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

The development of 360 Waves requires lots of time, committment and the right products.

Just like in the hair business, what works for some people definitely will not work for all people. Some shampoos are perfect for dealing with all states of 360 Waves but others are not.

If you’re dedicated to using a shampoo designed specifically for 360 Waves check out WaveBuilder Wash In Waves - Wave Saving Shampoo (available at HairBoutique.com in the Marketplace).

Only you can figure out what works best for you depending on your own goals for your Waves and how much time you want to invest in trying out other products.

Just as everyone in the Waving Game has their own opinions about products, there is different ideas about the best caps to wear.

The caps are a key component of Waving because the proper cap will hold in all that important moisture your waves and scalp need to form deep spinnin waves.

The proper cap will protect your waves from the impact of sleeping an entire night. Think about how you sleep. If you toss and turn, sleeping without a cap will defeat all your hard brushing. (more…)
