Great question about styling curls at night.
I get a fair amount of hair questions every day and thought this one might be helpful to some of you out there. :)
Jenny asks:
I have watched your demo videos and notice that you style your hair right after you wash and condition it. However, I usually wash and condition my hair at night. In the mornings if I were to start out with dry clean hair and then wet it so it is soaking wet and then style would the products work the same? Or is it better to wash and condition my hair in the morning before I style? Thank you for your help!
Here's my answer:
Yes, it’s totally fine to just wet it in the morning and then style as usual. You might find you need a bit of leave in conditioner to help with slip but maybe not, depending on your hair. If you want to fully style your hair the night before and sleep with it curly, it’s possible to do, though a bit trickier. :)
The best bet there is to let it finish drying all the way before you go to bed but don’t scrunch it out. Let it stay crunchy when you go to bed. That extra crunch will help preserve the curls overnight as you sleep. If you have a silk or satin pillow case, even better, because they will glide over it more smoothly than cotton and stay intact better. In the morning just scrunch out any lingering crunch and you’re on your way. It won’t look AS perfect as when you style if freshly in the morning but it’s a lot more effective than trying to achieve 2nd day hair. :) I do this sometimes when I’m flying out early the next morning and don’t want to take the time in the morning to do my hair.

I love BBBD too. I am subscribed to her on youtube. She turned me onto your products. Before then, I had no idea that your products could actually be used on african american hair. I'm addicted now. I use the Too Shea as a leave-in and the Weekly Deep Treatment as my deep conditioner...can't live without them. I have gallon sized containers...lol. My daughter has eczema so we get the unscented...and her skin dances everytime we use it on her hair.
What a perfect combination....Nina and Jessicurl meeting face-to-face in my state....works for me.
Okay this is really funny. My (bald) husband is in the shower and singing (to the tune of Jessie's Girl) "I wish that I had Jessie's Curls, Why can't I find curls like that?" OMG it is hilarious right now. I thought you might like a good laugh. :)
I love your products and evidently my husband does too!!!!! Please bring them to Massachusetts!!!!
What do you do with your hair at night when you go to bed? I usually put mine in a pony tail but it always leaves a weird dent in my curls? Any suggestions? Also What products do you use for second day hair? Thanks!!!!!!!
