Eco Styling Gel with olive oil


 

Eco styling gel is a gel. It’s a gel with a hold of 10 (which is the max). This gel is alcohol free which means it is not supposed to dry out your hair. However, when using this product I recommend that you apply some type of oil underneath or your conditioner. That way your hair is protected from the gel and its being moisturized as your hair becomes harden. The suggested use for this gel for a wash-n-go is to wash your hair and apply this product on your hair while it is wet. However, my experience with this product left my hair feeling and looking like a jerry curl…you know the jerry curls from back in the day.



What worked for me was using the gel half way. For example, pulling my hair back with a band and then applying the gel to the back of my hair. It gave my hair a more polished and nice look. Eco styling gel is good for slicking back those stubborn edges and it holds it down. To slick back your hair with this product I suggest using an old (or new) toothbrush or you can even use a soft bristle brush.
On the plus side, washing this gel out was very easy. It was not hard to get out and it did not leave anything on my scalp afterward. You can even co-wash this gel out; you don’t need a heavy duty shampoo to get this out.


My Review:


This is a 32 oz. of Eco Styling gel and it cost me about 3 to 4 bucks at my local beauty store on sell, originally the price range from 5 to 6 dollars here in California. They have different brands and those brands come in different colors. I do not know if I would get the same results with another brand but with the olive oil kind it left me feeling a little jerry curlish. However, I did use this product right after a big chop and I still had some relaxed ends which could have played a part in my overall look.


Just remember when using Eco styling gel. Make sure that you put some oil or conditioner on your hair first before using it.

Deep Conditioning on a BUDGET!

Deep conditioning is very important. It allows your hair to get moisture as well as be really soft and eventually (if not right away) your curls will become more enhanced because they are now moisturized. Using a deep conditioner actually strengths your hair and makes it easier to detangle. Deep conditioning your hair allows it to repair itself from any kind of damage. You would want to deep condition more often if your hair is really damage to try and replenish it. Now you don't need to go out and buy expensive products for the process. You could use products from your household such as eggs, mayonnaise, honey, coconut oil, amongst other things. Also, you could even visit your local dollar tree or dollar general and gets some products from there. What I did for my deep conditioner was mixed all my products (hair mayonnaise from dollar tree, my oils, conditioner, and coconut oil) into a bowl and applied it to my hair. However, you may want to work on freshly washed hair that
