HEY GLAMFAM! Here's the channel I recommended: / sharmaine369
So, many of you have been asking for me to address the drama surrounding EcoStyler at the moment. To be honest, at first I really didn't want to make a video on it, I just feel like this is a bit of a passing trend, and that majority of people will be right back to using ecostyler. BUT if you are concerned, I do recommend other gels in this video with different ingredients, so you can have some peace of mind.
I truly hope this video helps!
In further news, be sure to check out Sharmaine369's Channel, she is a WEALTH of information and her spirit about her is amazing! I love her content, and I think you will too.
Here is a link to Bri Hall's video: • ECO Styler Gel is CANC...
Here is the original video by AlopeciaFreeWithJass: • Why I Stopped Using Ec...
LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS!
Until Next time GlamFam, Take Care, God bless, and STAY GLAM!
You know I love you boo,

There has been so much talk lately, people wondering if eco styler causes cancer, wondering about eco styler ingredients and their purposes. Ingredients like Triethanolamine, Polysorbate20, Tetrasodium EDTA, and Fragrance. I briefly discuss each of those ingredients in this video, as well as their uses. - Навчання та стиль
Hey Glambassadors! What are YOUR thoughts on this whole thing? Are you still using it, or are you cancelling it? Feel free to share your thoughts on all this!
Love you boo!
Linwood
Not anymore.. .
GlamFam I stopped using it. I didn't like it made my hair feel
Have you found a backup gel that you like?
Sharon, I understand, my hair has never agreed with it, Alison loves it on the other hand 🤷🏽♂️ it seems to work just fine for her.
Using Kinky Curly Curling Custard.. .Works for me :-)
I have never seen anyone this knowledgeable about hair and hair products. This is what is needed in the beauty schools and salons!
Agreed! I truly hope that my videos as well as a few others help inspire change in beauty schools.
Thanks so much for watching!

I' ve been using Ecostyler for 10 years (not everyday though) and have never had all these reactions folks are saying they had. While not a hair chemist, I'm a chemist in real life, and just don't freak out about a lot of stuff. Practically anything is carcinogenic if you consume or use too much of it.
I completely agree!
I use this gel and never had a problem. I use it once a week and I spray my hair every day with coconut leave in natural conditioner. I really like Eco gel and will continue to use it.
Ms. Marvis! Get it sis!!! Idk why chemist in real life just sent me….but I’m so gassed!
Granny use to also say.."Child, your head should be used for more than growing hair" 💜
Sinndy Morr bless her heart. I love that! Storing that for my words of wisdom for my girls. 💕
My Granny said use your head for more than a hat rack LOL!
😂😂😂😂
Your grannies were hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I make my own flaxseed gel, I also make my own soap and lotion as well as blend -up my own shea butter cremes for the girls's hair and skin; yes it is work but I know what is in it. But just like everything else you have to have time for making your own stuff. Folks don't want to pay the money for all natural stuff made in small batches and then they go buy the lower priced brand name items for convenience then complain about what is in it.
Yes, this here is the truth. This is also the reason I started making my own beauty products as well because I noticed the lower priced hair products have crap ingredients.
I like eco styling gel especially their flex seed one i feel like just cause one person having issues with it doesnt mean the next person will.
I would have to agree, and of course, if someone has a reaction, then they should discontinue using it. I don’t think anyone assumed ES was an all natural product, so it’s difficult to see what all the fuss is about.
I feel the same way
Same I love it it dosent harden like other gems but holds I can brush my hair perfectly after wards I use it
Same her dear. I still use the eco styler gel (black castor and flaxseed oil) version. Its great for my hair and even helps my hair grow. No way am giving up on it at all. I love it
No breakouts or burning works great for me. Argon is the best for my hair.
I’m allergic to pork, it doesn’t mean that other people shouldn’t eat it. Everything is not for everybody. What works for one person may not work for another. Too easy!
Thank you babe my hair hates all the eco hair gels
Hey Linwood, thanks for the review. You always give an honest take on hair and product issues. You are the guru of hair care. Be blessed
So educational and informative. I appreciate this type of video and is one of the only videos that I have watched on this whole debate.
Just plain dead at “diggin’ in your booty”. Omg...LMAO
Lol it’s the truth though! 😂 Brown gels prevent people from making friends and shaking hands!
GlamFam 😂💩
😂😂🤣
JoJo X Me tooo...I scrolled because I knew someone would say something. Cracked me up.
GlamFam 😂😂😂You are hilarious .
So glad to see your response and I agree. Eco Style gel, particularly the Olive oil gel, works wonders on my hair. We had perms for years, which are pretty bad. Not concerned about gel.
Thank you SO MUCH for your honest feedback on these products! Always appreciate being educated.
Awesome video!!! I loved that you addressed how it's so important to pay attention to what you put IN your body, that subject often gets ignored. Also I have to try out the wet line hair gel!! Thank you again for sharing my channel!! I can't wait to watch more of your videos! :-)
Thank you Sharmaine! I love the wetline Xtreme gel, especially because it reactivates when you get it wet.
I love your videos! Especially because you are so thorough in discussion of chemical structure of products and their purpose, it’s much needed information for more educated consumers! I’m a firm believer in sharing channels that create quality content, and you definitely do that without a doubt!
Yes, what you put in is so important, I truly wish more people thought about it! Many of us unknowingly poison ourselves daily, simply because we didn’t take the time to read the ingredients.
Thanks for watching Sharmaine, it’s much appreciated and I look forward to your future videos as well! 😊👍🏽💚
I don't know why people act like you can't have bad reactions to natural products too. My grandfather used to practice medicine and I remember he would tell me about different ways we treated conditions and diseases before modern medicines came about and I got to thinking, if "natural" products were the best thing you can ever have ever, we wouldn't have had to develop the artificial stuff in the first place. Not that natural doesn't have its place in the world but it's okay to use either type of products if it's working for you.
This is very informative! Thank you for sharing. I use eco styler gel and don’t plan on throwing it away. Like you stated, there are a number of products we consume with harmful ingredients. It’s a matter of picking your poison.
Hi from Australia, great to hear someone who actually talks sense and not crap.
I was waiting on you to do this video 😄 Thank you for the info Lin!
Thanks so much for this, Linwood. As someone who suffers from alopecia from an auto-immune disease, my issue has been finding products that don’t trigger more hair loss. My skin is clear, my natural nails are long, I am a diabetic so I am very conscious of what I eat. I find that there are products that cause severe itching which is one of the first triggers and it happens with any product - all natural or with additives. Eco was one such product and finding hair gel is very difficult for me. Bri Hall just brought some areas to light and I think the community just ran with it. My search continues for something that works that doesn’t impede my hair regrowth and I look forward to watching all of your videos. Stay blessed.❤️🌹
I love you Linwood. You dont play about the research! I love that! Thank you for always educating us!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and concise way! You're a gem to the hair health community.
Wish I had you for my chemistry teacher. I love chemistry, no thanks to that teacher. You are such an easy to listen to and learn from. Thanks so much! Love your whole crew!
I freakin love you and your channel!!!! Speak the truth cause as a stylist myself I totally agree with what you mean!!!! You inspired me to get my channel up and running because its not enough of us out here speaking from a professionals point of view!!!! God bless you and your family!!!!!😄😄😄🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you so much! Go for it! I started this channel for my students in Cosmetology because so many of them were looking to YT to learn things and I hated that they were constantly getting misinformation. I would love to see more professionals in this space!
I already recorded it imma edit this weekend and go from there I even shouted y'all out because... I found this channel and you and your wife inspired me sooo much to just get out there and do it!!!! Thank you soo much and hope to meet y'all soon me and my fam live in Texas too!!!! Small world!!!!
RIGHT ON TIME LINWOOD I WANTED YOUR VIEW ON THIS SUBJECT! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
Such a pleasure, I hope you found this to be helpful in some way or another!
This was a very good highlighted video. You put the facts straight and into perspective. A very mature out look on the whole thing xx
Thanks for taking the time to share i appreciate YOU and it.🙋🏽♂️✌
Great take on it! To the point and informative, and bot based on putting your opinion on others! We love to see it!
Thanks for the insight 👏🏾👏🏾
Very educational and informative. Love videos like this! Keep up the good work, I appreciate a person that doesn't mind sharing knowledge.
Excellent video Boo!! Thank you for sharing your view on that gel. I think if we all read the labels on the products we buy, we would see there's something in everything we eat and use on our bodies. Dr.Afrika stated in one of his video"if it has a label should you really be using it🤔.." I'm not on a super natural kick. I just want to be aware of what I'm exposing myself and my children to. So Thank you and have a fabulous day! It's Juneteenth weekend and I need to get in the mix💃🕺💃🎉🎉
Great info Linwood. I'm not a serious gel user but most of the Eco gels don't work for me. You told me about the Wetline Extreme and that one works great for me.
Hey Lin, thank you for the info. I have never been an admirer of gel in general. If i want my hair to lay down at the time & my sealant products wont do it it wont get laid down . It's too hard for my liking. I know that's the purpose lol but I almost have to wash my hair the next styling to get it out, if not it will break my hair off. Separating that so-called baby hair ("its just hair baby" haha)on some hair breaks off instead of blending that "baby hair" together to grow with the rest of the hair its one of the reasons I've seen loved one edges leave. Sometimes gel isn't needed on the regular for every style. Only from what I've seen personally. Thanks again. GlamFlam member here!
ABSOLUTELY!!! I have said this many times after the "CANCELLING" of ECO became the new witch hunt. I am so glad you made this video. Well done, as your other video are. One definitely have to choose battles wisely.
Thanks Lyn. You're always so informative. it shows you are a teacher.🎓📚🍎
I am WOWWED by your info. My hair broke off at the top of my head and I thought it could be the BP meds now I need to work on my nutrition! Thank you!
Wow, this video is the sound of sanity!!!! Thank you for your common sense approach to this topic.
I am so happy you did this video.
Sooooo much great info I’m glad I stumbled on your channel!
Thank you for making this video. This is why I follow you. You are so honest with your opinion. Your channel Rocks!!!
Thank you for an informative and well thought out video on the subject. Loved the info on the functions of the skin which I did not know. I hope more people see this before making their decision and do their own research.
Such a pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thank for always giving us such thorough videos! I just used that very same Eco gel today! I use several brands of gel, it depends on the style I want to achieve.
Thanks so much...its always a blessing to hear truths and not just something people want bto hear because of their vanity...Pro-style gels are awesome come in many formulas so you won't get the brown flaking. They are very inexpensive and can found at you local 99¢ Stores and Dollar Tree! Also it's also a harmless protein gel! Mind you I'm only using a very small amount after I moisterize my hair all over, then I use the gel on the edges, on a part, mostly when I'm wearing a lace front! The gel blends with skin tones and holds the edges down "very well" without moving the unit around...yes, even the wind won't make it budge...! At the end of the day (up to a couple of days) just wet your edges with plain water, the gel is loosed, no pulling, no poison chemicals going into your "brain", and you still have your edges! I found an alternative to the poisonous edge glues since they are NOT made to touch your skin at all! They are NOT hypo-alleglic formulas due to contact dermatitis to chemicals and it saved my edges my health and life for over 15 yrs! These wig glues are practically the same to use super glue! Nasty stuff...
Glad you shed some light on this because I was lost. Thanks for sharing
My joy, Thanks for watching!
Still using it. It does well on natural curls. It moisturizes, doesn't flake, stops hair breakage. My Curls don't frizz and last until I wash it out. And plus it doesn't make my face greasy.
Here, Here..people like to complain and most don't want to research information. I appreciate You
Thank you dear! Such a pleasure!
Thank you! You addressed everything and now I know why I hate the black gel...lol
Mr. LINWOOD!!!!! You are TEACHING TODAY!!!!!!! Thank you, sir! 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Such a pleasure! Thank YOU for watching!
Best break down video on the whole Eco Styler situation!! I won't be canceling Eco styler because it's a staple of mine and it gets the job done :)
GlamFam
Linwood, thank you so very much for this video. I don't use any of the Ecostyler gels. I make my diy Flaxseed gel that I learned from UA-camrs. It's cheaper, healthier and you can add whatever essential oils that you like. The hold is great and I have no flaking. It works for me and I'm glad. Again, thanks for your input about the Ecostyler gel cancel hype. I Love You Too Boo!💞🙏😍
Thanks Linwood. Very informative. I too have several eco style gels. I started out [for years] using the "green top" but have found the other eco gels do not leave my hair as stiff. Thanks again.
I didn’t know that about gels. Great video. Much love .
Love your video❤️ Everything you said is all the truth. Use common sense on anything you use or eat🤷🏾♀️ Thank you for sharing..
Exactly Linwood, school them👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you so much for posting this video... this is the only video that was informative regarding the products and broke it down. I personally will continue to use eco styler and along with other gels I like too.
Thank you so much for setting this straight Linwood!
Eco style gel.....it's a gift and a curse...lets go waaay back to 1993. When I was in cosmetology school once a week my classmates would do a product mini seminar on the pros and cons of certain products. Back then it was the battle between Queen Helene, Eco Style and Ampro gels mainly because in 1993 fingerwaves and scrunches was the flavor of the year. Some of my classmates and I agreed that Eco Style gel had a very "gummy" consistency, flaked like crazy and weighed the hair down. it also was a bad product to use when doing fingerwaves and gel sets alike because it would "melt" when the client is under the dryer. It's almost like Jam by Soft-Sheen Carson. If a client wants to tame her edges without getting "hard" Eco style is good for that because back then it didn't contain alcohol, which is the base "holding" factor in most hair gel products
There is so much win in this comment and I have SO much love for it! Thanks! Yes! Back then, options were limited and it seemed like everyone was using ampro! It’s crazy to me that so few people talk about ampro these days!
Wow! I didn't know Eco's been around for that long!
It was sold in dollar stores back then
@@keishafrazier9897 Such a trip!...tfs
What can I do against the flaking after using it?
I love your knowledge and your honesty!! ❤️ your amazing 😉
Wow Lin!! You are extremely knowledgeable!! I love these HIGHLY INFORMATIVE Videos!! You go #GLAMFAM
Thank you so very much dear! I appreciate you! 💙🙌🏽
I’m staying with EcoStyler. I’ve watched both videos. It’s truly the only one that clumps my hair. I just don’t use it a lot. I have a sensitivity to aloe so a lot of natural gels are out for me. I’m only using Eco on my ends, not from root to tip.
I’m staying with it.
Very well said sir!!! I’ve been trying to explain this to clients for a while.
Thank you Linwood for this I am going to stick with my high porosity Shea Moisture gel. Great review as allllllllways!!!!
Just started to use this a month ago. Love it. Will continue to use. Thank you. So informative.
Can I say 50 thumbs up!!! Of course, any product we use we should be mindful if we feel discomfort, ect ect. I found Shea Moisture products at the end of end of the Shea Moisture Ad Controversy here on the Tube. Tubers were quitting Shea Moisture. I was oblivious to the controversy, at the time, but I LOVE me some Shea Moisture! Saved my hair! Nobody, but nobody, is keeping me away from my Shea Moisture!! I admit, after being personally attacked, for being white and using Shea Moisture, I was careful to admit Shea Moisture is my Love! (I have always felt welcomed and appreciated on this channel, btw) Anyway, people should rely on common sense, fact and personal experience. The only gel I own is Shea Moisture High Porosity Gel. I own it because I like it :). Here is my opinion..my Grandma use to say.."If somebody told you to jump off a bridge, would you??"
Great vlog! Great advice about the hair styling gel.
I've recently had a few friends ask me about this. And I didn't know how to phrase it all I could tell them was its all in the chemistry and composition make up of most products. I told a couple, I wouldn't be too worried about that gel, but more concerned about that shampoo and conditioner you're using. TY this helps me explain it to them. I use to use an Ecostyler gel for curly hair. I liked it, never had an issue with it. But I found a Redken I like more. Turned my waves into bouncy curls.
Bye eco styling gel, bye got2b headed to beauty supply tomorrow to get the stuff you recommended. I can't go to sleep I'm addicted to this channel
know thy products, know thy hair. Thanks Linwood.
I have always wanted to know about this product. You
gave a very fair opinion . Very educational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yasssss you always hit the nail on the head lol died when you talked about the brown pro style gel lol and it’s so true you know I love you boo happy Father’s Day have an amazing day
I was waiting to hear your opinion so badly, great video!
Interesting enough I'm watching this video for the first time (I've been seeing the thumbnail for the past week or so) one day after watching a video of Trevor Noah's thoughts on people burning their sneakers and such in protest of a certain sport apparel manufacturer's campaign. He essentially made the same point that you did about individuals concentrating on this one product or brand but your continuing to use or buy into brands/companies when you don't know of or choose to ignore what they put in their products or what they stand for/against. You video as well as his are definitely worth watching. #thattimewhenIwatchedaninnocentvideoanditturnedintoalifelesson
Omg I JUST watched that Trevor Noah video yesterday! I LOVED it! Thanks so much for watching and commenting dear! I appreciate you!
The one I use is the castor oil and flaxseed jar and the argan oil jar with the red top
This was a very informative review GlamFam! I enjoyed hearing your honest review and hearing some facts to back it up with. I agree with you that this has to be looked at from a holistic view and that is something I will be mindful of.
I decided to scan your videos for info on oils and butter for the hair (relaxed) and saw this one. All I can say about it is Thank You for telling the truth through knowledge.
Thanks for being honest!
You are so refreshing. Thank you for your informative videos. 👍🏻
Thank you dear! My pleasure!
Thank you for your informative video on your input on Eco style gel.
Such a pleasure dear. Thank you kindly for watching!
You are your family are just lovely. I smile throughout your entire videos.
Wow. As an educator myself, this is an video that I 100% loved! I'm not a huge youtuber because so many people have opinions, no real facts or education. I'm very impressed with how many technical terms he defined. I just may subscribe.
I friggin love you! So brilliant and spot on!!!!!!
I just use this gel for when ever I put my hair up in like a ponytail but otherwise I don’t really use it for my curls but I definitely think it’s pretty good when you do use it for your curls tho
Wow! Thanks for such an informative well delivered video!
Watching this while I put eco styler the olive oil one as I make my hair into a bun haha 😆 I love this gel one of my fav ! And I’m a natural girl but sometimes I just don’t care what works for me May not work for the next but do what you feel is best ! Honestly my hair still growing so it’s great for me
It works great with relaxed hair for molding and shaping. I like the brown Ampro gel. Both can be a bit flaky if combined with an inadequate amount of water or when used with other hair products. Now that I’m natural, I cannot find a product to wave my hair down.
Thank you for sharing knowledge. Too many opinions being shared as knowledge and facts. As my niece always say, Sharing is caring. 🙂
I stumbled across your channel a little over a week or so ago and already I have learned so much! I have subscribed and will be staying tuned from here on out! I have the nappiest (4C?) hair and want to know the best gel I can use to slick it down when I want to wear a pony tail.
Thank you for not being all in your emotions over this!!! You gave a wonderful explanation of this topic...People that eat junk food from the drive thru, who don't exercise and drink and party every weekend, screaming into the night over some gel!!! Lol!! 😂😂😂
LOL! True story! 🤣
This is one of the most knowledgeable and informative videos I've ever watched on hair and gel, my first time viewing your channel as well and I am totally subscribed now!! Thanks for a great 12mins 👋
Aww thank you so much! Thanks for watching! Welcome to the GlamFam!
Just because hair gels doesnt work for me it will work for someone else
I love your videos I have subscribed to your channel I have learnt so much from you about hair gels
What an informative video. Thank you so much Linwood ❤❤
Late to the party, but Wow 😲, the knowledge you bring! Thank you 🙏 New subbie 😘
My joy! Welcome to the GlamFam!!
Thanks for the info. I don't use EcoStyler but my daughter does and it works for her so we won't be changing. I'm a 90's kid so I still use that good ole brown gel when I need it.
I smiled when he brought out the Pro Styl. Great memories!
This is a great video and thank you for recommending sharmaine 369! I subscribed to you both!
Welcome to the GlamFam! I appreciate you watching, I’m sure Sharmaine369 does as well!
Thanks again. I have gel issues also but as always you have given me food for thought.
My pleasure! Glad to help!
The pink one makes my curls pop like no other. I’m sticking to it! 💗
Hi Linwood! I"m not using The Eco Styler, but I am ready to explore the Extreme Gel of which you have identified as one of your personal favs. What leave in conditioner do you personally use when and if you do a wash and go? Better yet, which has been most satisfying for your 3c/4a clients who do wash and go(s)?
As always, thank you for your generous sharing of knowledge and expertise! 💖🙏🏿
After throwing away my Eco Styler, I bought wet line extrem gel and it too took my edges away after using it one time. I'm going back to fantasia.
Omg thank you I was just a lil annoyed by that whole trend the "natural hair community" sometimes is to much
Thank you for this information it really helped. What molding gel would you suggest that doesn’t have bad flaking?
I love the coconut EcoStyler gel with the brown lid and will continue to use it!! 😊
I’m glad I found this video, because my mom loves EcoStyle. In my house, everybody is extremely natural so it does nothing for us. I didn’t see one so I must ask: do you have a review on Gorilla Snot? We use a lot of that and mainly on my daughter so I’m interested in your opinion on that.
Always so well informed.
I love my eco styler Gel,Work wonder with my hair,I tried wet line Gel,Also a good gel as well.
