New product demo videos coming soon!

I'm so excited! We've been working on a major overhaul of the website for a while now, and it's really looking awesome! Along with it will be all new product demo videos, that we're going to shoot next friday night at Bella Dona Salon in Fortuna, CA.

It's so funny watching the current ones - they were shot almost 3 years ago and my hair was SO much shorter than it is now! :) I still hear from a lot of people that they really help them get the hang of things, but since it's me in the videos, I can't help by laugh. :-)


We've also introduced Confident Coils to the line since then, so it's not featured in the current videos. I think this time I'll include a portion on "plopping", the technique popular with curlies from NaturallyCurly.com for helping to dry curls faster and encourage curl formation. If you have NO idea what the heck I'm talking about, here's a link with instructions and a cute little diagram:

I've had great luck with this technique ever since my hair got long enough, and I know it's confusing to a lot of people. So I think including it in the new product demo videos will give curlies even MORE styling and drying options, which is always a good thing. :-) I may switch to calling it "plunking" in the video, just because. :) I do think it works better for longer hair. When my hair was really short it didn't work at ALL, but as my hair got longer I got better and better success with it, and now it's a regular part of my hair routine.


If you have ideas for other things that would go well in our product demo videos, let me know and maybe I'll include it. :)


If you haven't seen the current ones, you can do that here: www.Jessicurl.com/video.htm

You need QuickTime to view them, but there's a link taking you to a site where you can download it if you need it.


I hope you're having a good hair day. :-)

Haircut picture


Here’s a picture of the haircut I got last week. Sorry for the delay. The layers are long, like I prefer, and overall I’m really happy with the shape and the amount she cut.
