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.

Low Manipulation, Give your hair some rest

My BIG CHOP experiences

Doing that BC or "big chop" can be life changing for some. It's embracing a part of you that has been neglected, mistreated, and forgotten. Perms (aka straighter), wigs, braids, and CHEMICALS, have been covering up what you have been born with (however, wigs and braids are not terrible but worn for a long period of time and too tight can cause damage). Doing the “big chop” is like getting to know your hair and yourself all over again. You have to re-learn how to style and maintain a new texture. It will not be easy at first but with practice and time it will only get better. It is time for African Americans to embrace their true essences and rock that fro. We don’t have to assimilate so much that it causes us damage. Perms breaks off your hair, it’s a chemical. In the long run it does more damage than good. It makes your hair weak and at some point your hair will stop growing really long. This is me speaking from YEARS of experience. Don’t get me wrong your hair is sti...
