Miss Jessie's at Target end of March 2010

Hello All -

I just read on a natural hair website that Miss Jessie's will be sold at Target at the end of March. Can anyone verify this information? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

this is the first i'm hearing of this, but i wanna know too.

If it is, I hope they are going down on the ridiculous prices!

I'm with you ladies, I hope the price is much less. If not, I won't try Miss Jessie.

Oh wow, really??? That may be a good thing! I will have to keep my ears open on this one! Although I don't use her products as much anymore, if it gets in Target, i may re-up on the curly pudding...hopefully at a cheaper price though!

Wow, news to me. Whomever finds out, keep us posted.

yea cuz when i run out of this $48 jar of rapid recovery i gotta stock up on more! if not, i will repurchase ONLY during bogo times!

I just googled it and it said that MJ announced it on their facebook page.

@BattleKat - Thank you!

Here's what I found on the facebook page of Miss Jessie's Original:

"MissJessie's Original WE ARE SO HAPPY ALL OF YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE EASY ACCESS TO OUR PRODUCTS AT TARGET. MISS JESSIE'S WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NATIONWIDE TARGET LOCATIONS STARTING MARCH 28, 2010. THANK YOU ALL AND ENJOY."

THOUGHTS ON THE “MISS JESSIE’S” PRODUCTS:

1)The “MISS JESSIE’S” products USE MINERAL OIL
& PETROLATUM (both of which damage both
hair & skin) AS two of the KEY INGREDIENTS

2) Titi & Miko – THE OWNER’S of the “Miss Jessie’s”
product line (AND most of THE CLIENTS they choose
to photograph) -- achieve their hair-styles because
they USE what they call a ”Silkener”' (which is simply
a mild relaxer / texturizer & made of CHEMICALS).

3) The same results can be achieved for a fraction of
the cost by going to a store and purchasing / applying
the same dangerous (ex. relaxer / texturizer) as well
as damaging (ex. mineral oil / petrolatum) products.

4) People should save their money (and hair) by avoiding
the cheaply-made / expensively-sold products (such as
the ”Miss Jessie’s” line) that contain worthless and
harmful ingredients such as mineral oil / petrolatum
and / or are “chemically-dependent” to achieve results.

5) The Owners of the 'Miss Jessie's' product line appear
to be no more inclined to reveal that their own hair
(and that of the hair of the majority of the clients
that are posted on their website ) has been "silkened"
(i.e. chemically-processed) than they are to admit that
two (2) of the main ingredients contained in their hair
products are 'mineral oil' ("liquidum parrafinum") and
petrolatum -- and actually try to downplay both facts.

6) Meanwhile women found all over the US and
Canada continue to unwittingly dole out a ton of
money for a product which is essentially now the
equivalent of taking a melted jar of ‘Blue Magic
Hair Dressing’ or ‘Johnson’s Baby Oil’ and mixing
it with a bottle of ‘Suave Instant Conditioner'

OK -- maybe the Blue Magic/Johnson’s / Suave comment
is a stretch –but -- one hopes that the point is still taken
-- when it comes to ‘ethnic’ or ‘naturally-textured’ hair’
… Miss Jessie’s simply “misses the mark”entirely. =D

.

I must say that Target has stepped up their game on hair care products. Miss Jessie's is there, definitely NOT cheaper but they also have Jane Carter, SheaMoisture and the CURLS line. I tried Jane's while I was relaxed but not since... I LOVE both CURLS and SheaMoisture, which are a fraction of the cost of MJ's so I see no need to even try it unless they are on clearance. There's nothing in MJs products that would make me shell out $30 for one bottle of product. NADA.

I bought the sample pack of MJ and I have tried most of the samples and it does nothing for my hair but I see a lot of curly's on the forum use the product.
