JourneyTo WaistLength I don't have a favorite gel but I'm currently using Eco Styler's Olive Oil gel, I just wish it provided more of a hold and no crunch for my transitioning hair.
Teryn j Clark I feel the same way you do about the olive oil gel on my transitioning hair. I don't have a favorite but I do like the As I Am styling gel .
JourneyTo WaistLength thanks for reviewing this product! Where did you get your hooded dryer ? I live in Toronto and have been looking for one like yours with no luck.
My favorite gel is Naputral85 homemade hair gel because I've made it and it kept my hair really defined when I do a wash and go, braid out, twist out, and flexi rod. I also like how it keeps my hair soft.
Wow! This video is why I went out and purchased this gel!! You’re also the reason I went out and purchased lotta body products. Brings back memories of where I started in my natural hair journey (the second time around, the first time was a disaster) so I just want to thank you for your part in finding products my hair loves. You also taught me how to find my porosity. Needless to say, you’ve had a major impact on my natural hair journey 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
I went natural on January 2016. After searching and searching for so many natural hair tutorials I think I finally found my hair twin! I'm excited to follow your methods! 😊😊
I live in the USA . I've been watching you for FOREVER ! We have a similar hair type and thickness , so your videos have really helped me with styling my hair !
My favorite gel I've used is the eco styler olive oil gel. I'm transitioning (close to 20 months post) so I use eco with other products for braid outs to blend my 2 textures. I haven't tried any other gels but I definitely want to! Can't wait to be natural so I can try wash and go's
Back in the day I used to love Let's Jam Pudding. It was purple and looked like globs of slime. It had great hold & no flaking. I don't think they make it anymore.
Honestly, I haven't tried any other gels then the olive oil gel. I love the texture and its feel and how easy it is to deal with. ecostyler is such a good brand
I am new to natural hair. I have been using a protective style for over a year now. I have the olive oil eco styler gel I am going to use with the African shea miracle bouncy curl pudding. I hope my hair comes out like yours
My fav gel currently is the Eco gel Argan oil. Something about that gel makes my hair feeling amazing. But after this video I deff wanna try the new one now, thanks for this video!
My favourite gel is the eco styler olive oil gel. That gel has layed my edges and defined my curls and has been with me through thick and thin 😂. It can be crunchy but it is still my favourite gel and it is the OG
I used the argon oil eco styler. But I have used there brown I believer protein one and I liked it because there was no white cast ever! You absolutely gorgeous with out makeup btw!!! I've been really wanting to get my hands in this one though
I've been waiting for a thicker eco style gel!! can't wait to try it!..ur hair looks better everytime I see it and I've been a subby since day one! keep at it😍
I love your videos. I love that I found your channel because my curl pattern is very similar to yours and I always thought my wash n gos' were a fail until I saw your videos Thanks for sharing.
MY favorite gel is Eco styler argan oil gel, it works best for my hair. But as of lately for some strange reason i've been getting a lot of white flakes with this gel , whereas before i never got any white flakes :/ idk if they changed the ingredients or if i bought copy cat gel *sighs* can anyone let me know if they have this same issue? pls tell me i'm not the only one lol
alexandra28823 WOW! I'm so glad you said this because I've been using this gel for 4-5 yrs and it's recently been flaking on me a lot too. I have tried so many things in the last few months to stop the flaking with no success. Maybe they did change the ingredients? I might jump ship to wet line.
I agree with the others saying it might be your products you're adding before the gel. I've noticed this gel doesn't flake all the time, just when I use certain leave ins or curling creams beforehand. Right now, I've cut out anything creamy because I haven't found anything that doesn't curdle with the gel. (Test before putting in your hair by combining the products in your hand and seeing how they react. If it starts chunking up, don't use that combo!)Anyone know of a good leave in that won't curdle with gel?
Thanks for sharing your review of the Ecostyler Black Castor Oil and Flaxseed gel. I've been wanting to try it. My favorite gels are the ecostyler pink gel and jaded tresses gel.
I am a 65 year old black woman have natural hair but Gray hair I do use eco style and would love to wear my hair loose like this but I cannot get it to curl and stay all day what is your suggestion
Barbara Alexander All hair types have a coil or kink to it when wet or when gel is applied. You can make the hair extremely wet so the curl pattern can reveal itself and then follow up with a gel that has a firm hold like Eco styler gel. The hair needs to be drenched in water so it will become frizz free... i hope this helps.
I actually really like the coconut ecostyler. I know that it didn't work for quite a few people, and maybe its a hair porosity issue idk. But I would like to try this one next.
My favorite gel is gorilla's snot gel it perfect for natural hair and tames edges perfectly 😍🙏 and btw love your channel love seeing your notifications come on my phone 😘one of the best natural girls on UA-cam 💯💯
MewSakura12 Hahaha, it's my middle name too! I just use it cause people have problems pronouncing my last name 😂 yeah! Amazon is pretty stocked with all the beauty products I need, but the shipping to Nairobi almost doubled the price! Anything for like 10-15 dollars automatically goes up to 20-25 dollars due to shipping. So it's not really an option for me at the moment 🤔
Lamar W. try target it's about 16. but it is worth every penny. make sure you get the matching leave in too....lord God your wash n go I'd going to be on fleek!
Since I’ve watched your video I’ve tried the caster eco styler gel and I have to say that it’s now my favorite. I love what it does for my hair. Eco styler olive oil was my favorite and I still love it but now this one is my favorite. Thank you so much for sharing!
Angie Pool Same here! No matter what I do, I always end up with flakes EVERYWHERE. It really sucks because I love so many things about this gel such as the scent and texture but the flaking is too much.
Ashley You definitely need to put more in your hair like an excessive amount and rub it through and run your fingers through each section with a lot of This gel it will wear your hair down a lot more better and not make a frizzy
My favourite gel is the Pearl Thusi hair gel. Very difficult to find natural hair products in my Country so it was a blessing to have her make a product range that's available in my country
My all time favorite gel is Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel. It's a multipurpose gel that works on both hair and skin. You can put a ton of it in your hair and your hair will never feel stiff or crunchy. It's also really moisturizing and keeps my hair looking polished.
I haven't tried any gel on my hair since I am three months natural but I would love to try this gel because I haven't seen my curl pattern so far and from watching this video your curls are popping with this gel. #loveyourvideo
I am at my 5th month post relaxer. I have been watching almost everyone of your videos. i truly appreciate the knowledge you pass on to other and i have learned so much. also i used to use Murphy's edge control gel but since i decided to transition i now use ecostyler olive oil gel.
My favorite gel is Prostyl Black Gel. Never was a big fan of black gel until i tried this one. My hair stays all day, all week when i use it! its a must have now.

I might jump ship to wet line.
it depends on what other products are in your hair. I noticed that flaking depends on what other products I have in my hair. Cantu is a no no
Usually i only put the gel in my hair and that's it, no flakes (that was before) but now that i do this , i get a whole LOT of white flakes :/
I agree with the others saying it might be your products you're adding before the gel. I've noticed this gel doesn't flake all the time, just when I use certain leave ins or curling creams beforehand.
