Product review (5 stars): Great for no hair shrinkage!
The reason why this product has gotten a good amount of bad reviews is because the product is being used wrong. Reading directions will take you a long way. Now when i first got this product i HATED it because i didn't do certain things to my hair after i applied the pudding. Anyways like the instructions say, after I wash my hair I put a nice amount on three of my fingers and rub it on my little afro while pulling my curls through, and also while my hair is still WET. This products smells so good and I can literally see my curls expanding and the shrinkage dissappearing. After I'm done rubbing it in, I either tightly twist my hair, or put rubbers bands all over to let my hair AIR DRY. While its drying I apply a small amount of Hollywood beauty olive oil to each twist or rubber band puff, simply because my hair requires an oil because of how dry it gets. Once its done drying my hair looks amazing! No shrinkage period, no flakes, and my curls are soft and curly! Of course this product is expensive (although I bought my curly pudding at target for $23.00) It works very good for me because I'm following the directions. I don't recommend blow drying your hair with this because you may definitely see flakes. I also recommend to twist the hair while it air drys with the pudding so that it locks moisture and the pudding in. Overall I like Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding.
