Featured Ingredients
PVP/VA Copolymer
Polyvinylpyrrolidone/Vinyl acetate (PVP/VA) copolymer is a medium-hold, film-forming polymer that enhances curl definition.
Its protective film on the hair is resistant to humidity, ensuring that extreme humidity conditions don’t affect its performance.
This quality makes the JessiCurl Confident Coils Styling Solution especially effective, even in damp outdoor settings.
Plus, the film is water-soluble, allowing for easy removal during shampooing and preventing any significant build-up.
Polyimide-1
Polyimide-1 is a film-forming polymer known for its ability to boost volume and provide a lasting hold on hair, enhancing curl body and maintaining curl shape even in high humidity.
The protective layer it forms on the hair is soft to the touch, eliminating any hard or crunchy texture.
Additionally, it enhances hair shine by aligning the cuticle layer, which in turn improves light reflection, giving hair a glossy appearance.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Jojoba Seed Oil is a natural liquid wax known for its beneficial impact on skin and hair health. Rich in non-fatty acid lipids, it softens and lubricates the hair shaft, conditioning individual hair fibers and reducing friction between them.
In the JessiCurl Confident Coils Styling Solution, this oil imparts a soft texture to the curls, ensuring they remain moisturized and free from any dryness, crunchiness, or a noodle-like appearance.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice Powder
Aloe Vera, one of the most widely used and researched cosmetic ingredients, offers exceptional moisturizing properties in its water-soluble leaf juice powder form.
Rich in polysaccharides, it effectively retains water molecules and releases them to the scalp or hair when needed, ensuring consistent water molecules to curly hair fibers.
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
Derived from the guar bean, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a cationic hair conditioning polymer. Its cationic properties allow it to bind effectively to hair cuticles through electrostatic bonding.
This ingredient not only helps detangle dry and damaged hair and unravel curl knots/tangles but also enhances the absorption of other oil-based ingredients in a formulation.
In the JessiCurl Confident Coils Styling Solution, it works in harmony with essential oils and jojoba oil, amplifying their distribution on both the scalp and hair.
Essential Oils
Essential oils, known for their therapeutic benefits, are frequently incorporated into personal care products.
The JessiCurl formula includes Lavender Flower Oil, Sweet Orange Peel Oil, and Grapefruit Peel Oil.
These oils not only impart a refreshing and clean sensation but also provide a natural aromatic experience. Additionally, they offer soothing benefits for the scalp, promoting overall scalp health.
How to Use It
- Begin by shaking the bottle well.
- Start with a small amount of the product in your palms; it’s always best to start with less.
- Apply evenly to thoroughly wet hair. I like to apply products in small sections.
- For enhanced curls, scrunch your hair. To lengthen, use your fingers to comb through. For more definition, use a detangling brush.
- Allow to air-dry or use a diffuser.
Jessicurl Confident Coils Styling Solution Review: My Personal Experience
Having spent a month using the JessiCurl Confident Coils Styling Solution, following my experience with JessiCurl gentle lather shampoo and deep conditioning treatment, I’m eager to share my insights.
To start, I’m impressed by the scent options: Citrus Lavender, Island Fantasy, and an unscented variant. I chose Citrus Lavender, which offered a delightfully mild fragrance.
The product has a lotion-like feel. As I applied it, I sensed it was absorbing into my hair rather than merely coating it, indicating its lightweight nature.
To be transparent, while it made my hair soft and defined my curls, they appeared slightly thin than the juicy clumps I prefer.
I believe it might be more suited for wavy hair or looser curl types. If you want a lightweight styling product that won’t weigh down your hair, this is definitely the one for you!
Overall, while the product boasts commendable ingredients, it might not be a staple for my personal curly hair routine.
