- I stopped using Eco Styler Gel & made a video 1 year ago. Eco Styler Gel Company contacted me due to all the discussion. Here is my response.

Special Thanks To Bri Hall! xo - Навчання та стиль
I got this same email, love how positive you are and UA-cam is a platform formatted for review & sharing experiences. So much of this information is widely available & our bodies do not lie, but this industry is heavily motivated by money 💰 if it wasn’t, our experiences would be listened to for possible alternatives rather than ingredients aggressively defended
Bri Hall so are they canceling eco products?
Bri Hall So true! They can make up anything to support their overall agenda which is to make money off of us! Regardless of what it means for our health! Just like the dairy, tobacco and meat industries funding studies to say those things don't cause health risks!
I am sending you an email. Please check and reply asap! xo
Agreed!
Bri Hall I love that Bri is standing by her video and personal experiences! 👏🏾👏🏾 that says a lot about her character. All too often, youtubers and other people, get swayed to back track on statements they felt strongly about due to feeling pressured by money and corporations. So many people in the natural hair community is standing behind this company that never sponsored any videos, yet reached out now that so many of us are no longer using their products! SHAME! Eco is still cancelled!
They are TERRIFIED about the millions (maybe even billions) of dollars they stand to lose if black women stop buying their product. I don't trust a single word they say. THANK YOU for getting the word out there and protecting your fellow sisters!
Both of you are 💯% correct. Ecostyler could care less about us. I will no longer use any products with harmful chemicals rather sticking to DIY. 5-10-20 years when there is an epidemic of cancers in black women due to these chemicals, these company executives will disappear. Me personally will not take any chances.
Lilly Zion Yisrael im with you girl
Lilly Zion Yisrael seriously though.
Yup! Another clear indication of the power of the black dollar!
M. Burns - True dat since mostly black women are using this product, billions of dollars Will be lost if we stop buying it. You see how quickly they contacted her to explain about the 'safety' of the ingredients. Smdh!!
Do not communicate with the company without legal counsel.
Ms Vena I agree
Hope she sees this
I agree as well. Don't allow them to inadvertently use you to promote or advertise their product under the guise of liable. You simply pointed out the effects those ingredients had on you.
Black women are being poisoned by hair products.
You sound stupid. UR GONNA HAVE TO COMMUNICATE IF UR HAIR IS FALLING OUT USING TUIS GEL💀
ECO Styler is BIG MAD ... but the truth is the truth and if you did the research.... and give us the audience the research and evidence
so we could do the research as well and we see the same thing Eco styler is gonna have to change up or just going to lose money. Simple Math!
Lit TV Show Reviews eco styler must have seen a sales drop
My sentiments exactly!!! What I need the "Im not canceling eco styler gel" ppl to understand is instead of being passive ...how bout we stand firm and ask eco styler to change out the harmful chemicals
They should try to collaborate with their customers and try to create a healthier option. FDA allows many things that other countries band. I'm not impressed with FDA approved products.
Tanya Carson Amen. I agree 100%.
Thanks for the update. Sorry they put the muscle on you. But fact is these companies use chemicals and as consumers we have to be informed on how they affect us. You didn't do anything wrong. I do believe you were only trying to help. You have had success in regrowing your hair & only want the same for your viewers. Hopefully this will get them to make their products better for us.
smartsexyfun97 ditto
WHY ARE THEY ONLY SENDING OUT THE INFORMATION ON THE INGREDIENTS ONE AT A TIME???? It’s as if they have to go research and test it NOW and as they get the results they give it to you. Shouldn’t they already have all of this information as they already put it in their products. 🤨
listra13 losing money
Because they have to get their lies straight Sis. Lol
My same thought 💭
A good reputable company who is confident about their ingredients in their products would have addressed all of the ingredients in one email...why the piece-meal emails. They also need to add a letter addressing the concerns to their website instead of just sending emails to certain youtubers, anyway sounds kinda fishy to me.
listra13 lol, your comment made me laugh, lol. You are right though!
It sounds like they are using some scare tactics to get you to retract what you said. YOU are entitled to say why YOU don’t use a particular product anymore. You didn’t tell anyone to stop using the product you only provided the info for people to do as they please. I can’t believe these companies .. they should have contacted you to say we are continuing to improve on our products and will look at other ways to make it better instead of sending that kind of response.
As black women keeping our hair natural most of us are obsessed with a " curl pattern " and we are just doing too much to our hair. It's just exhausting!!
They're just seeing their profits deflate, that's all. Make the stuff safe, how about that? Keep up the good work Jass. Thank you
I held my breath for the first few minutes in anticipation of a different message. Your approach/wisdom in bringing this information was truly remarkable.
Wow! I can't believe they didn't address every single ingredient! Please stay strong and keep doing what you're doing. My mom is 93, and a colon and breast cancer survivor. I've been making and using my own handmade products in her hair for years now because I didn't want to add to her health issues. It's so sad that people care more about a twist out than they do long term health.
Thank you sweetie for your support. I'm not sure why they didn't address every ingredient but maybe they will soon. That's so beautiful to hear how you are taking care of your mom. She is very blessed to have a daughter like you. God bless you! :)
Thanks. I've just started a series on my channel inspired by my mom. Please check it out, when you can. Thanks
So true, I'm glad God blessed your mother to be a cancer survivor!! It's so good that she is receptive to consumer and use more natural things. Some people never make that change and wonder why they're having problems.
They can shove it!!! You did the right thing by informing your viewers. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for the update. I just didn’t understand why everyone was running around like Chicken Little screaming “the sky is falling”. Everyone was so quick to jump on the Eco Styler Cancellation Bandwagon, yet they are still using 50 other makeup, hair, and skincare products which have the same exact ingredients in them. Please keep us updated. And I will be doing my own research as well.
Sable 711 I agree, and I would probably start by eliminating items that go directly on my face or skin.
I would start with what goes in my body.
Disney Toys R 4 Fun I totally agree. I was just referring to things we put on our body. But of course everything starts from the inside.
ritamcbee 😂@ the sky is falling part...
Tiger Lilly Wow, that is crazy! I bet you still look beautiful without lipstick. Keep up the good work. No one will take better care of you than you will.
That video saved my Hair . I been meaning to tell you Thanks . 💋💋❤❤
Jass first thank you for the information you have shared. I too suffered from alopecia areata and have to watch what I put in my hair. Inflammation is definitely real and it wasnt until I saw your video that I realized that the ecostyler gel not only made my head itch but was part of the reason my inflammation kept coming back. I stopped using it and oh behold the inflammation subsided. KEEP SHARING , KEEP DROPPING KNOWLEDGE, KEEP POSTING, AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD!✌🏾👠
Thank you. I personally, do not use Eco Styler or any of those types of gel in my hair.
me either
Me. Neither!
Me too but it's still cancelled.
How do you do it. I HAVE tight ringlet curls and would be bald with out get.
Susie Redish I make flaxseed gel it works the same way as eco
Lies. Ever since i cut out the TEA crap outta everything i had i immediately stopped breaking out. I had a terrible itxhy gross inflammed rash on my neck for years and it would never go away and i didnt know why. I stopped using all the gels with TEA. Which wasnt alot. I stopped one at a time to figure out what it was. Eco being one of them that broke me out and they all had TEA in it. Ik thats it. Ever since i cut it out ive been fine.
I am wondering if they're being honest, I want you to show us more of what they say, I'll be researching more
Chalsey Wilder the ambiguity in their response speaks to their knowledge of the dangers their product can potentially cause. The email was them trying to cover their @$$
Joshua Whitaker right. And they used the same people that approve of medications that can make your organs fail. Lmao
I can tell you for a fact they're not being honest! This gel has so many chemicals, harmful dyes and ingredients is that it is in no way healthy for you to be using. Its cancer-causing, respiratory system, auto immune system, endocrine system, and your brain and that's just listing a few. I could go on to your thyroid and your reproductive system but I'll stop there. If people don't believe it they can do their own research ingredient by ingredient butt this is what I do for a living so I already know and I post this information on my social media pages and website. There too many Alternatives that work and that guy make a really good alternative that works it's a Pomade and I also make my own flaxseed gel. I'm not trying to push my product I'm only giving you examples. Be blessed be healthy be wise.
Sunshine's karma what's your Facebook
Make sure it's an independent report. Because if they say they did their own studies, I'm not buying it.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the information and help you have given. I'm 50+ and have been on hair recovery for over 12 months. I learned from you to do the process of elimantion. I had to take it back to the basics. Doctors were telling me that all test taken came back in normal range. REALLY PEOPLE! I had no hair in my crown, I wanted to stay in bed all day, ate anything that moved. Lol. Wow. Thanks again for taking the time out to help. Read an article a week ago talking about the money black women send on hair products and related health issue. Ok, I had to change my mind set and everything else fell into place. Some days are better than others, but I'm not on anymore meds. Changing my eating habits and getting the correct amount of sleep. Word of advise if you dont make, think before using. Be blessed
THISSSSS! 👏🏽 thank youuuu! I battled back and forth with alopecia and your videos have helped me be more educated. Eco seems mad because the masses are shaking things up. If they’re so concerned as a brand, then 1. Dont drag other products in it as if to say “why yall pickin on us?” and 2. if other brands can make gel without TEA, why cant yall? 👀😐
Natasha Yvette 👍🏽🙌🏽
If they are trying to justify something it’s obvious they are fully aware. There are actual real people who have had adverse reactions to those ingredients not just from one brand. I personally haven’t mused eco gel but the aunt Jackie’s flaxseed and my eczema flared up turns out it’s got some of the same ingredients. So for those of us that has had an adverse reaction this tells me No Bueno. Others aren’t having issues and wish to continue using them Do You. But those of us suffering and couldn’t put our fingers on the culprits are glad for the posts. Information is golden after all that’s what I’m here for. Thank you for sharing.
I see what you are saying. Hair products like food or even medicine we can be allergic to or have a bad reaction due to some of the compounds within that item. It's important to be aware of these things. It may not be that the product is bad, but certain components(natural or unnatural) can trigger an existing problem or make it worse. Other times the primary cause may just chemicals (unnatural). Like scented soaps, some deodorants, and lotions to skin the purfum can be the cause of irritation. Some products only say "natural fragrance" or give a purfum #, you want to know all fragrance used. You know it's artificial when you see a purfum#. Be informed, be aware, and know your body.
I truely thank you for enlightening me on the ingredients/chemicals in so called "natural" hair products. Your video has sent me on a 2 day research project on all of my products. I was NOT happy with what I found out. I basically took every product I own and researched what was in each ingredient. Word to the wise...... these companies are selling products that are sooo bad for people!! I have products from so many different companies( Cantu, Mielle Organics,Not your Mother's Natural, Cream of Nature,Eden Body Works, Jane Carter, Silk Elements, I could go on and on...I'm a product junkie, all of those brands had bad ingredients! The only company that had good,safe ingredients was Shea Moisture. People were cancelling them a while back but at least I can give them credit for not trying to kill us! My advise to every nature out there...please do your own research. I will be returning 80% of my products to the stores I got them from!
Shea moisture, Camille rose naturals, and alikay naturals are good brands.
Faye Ola Camille has a preservative that can mess with your organs. But as soon as I use up my things from her I'm done.
@chalsey wilder.. Which preservative are you referring to? Is it phenoxethanol? I actually noticed that ingredient yesterday and looked it up.
Faye Ola otephen I might have misspelled it but it's one of the last few ingredients in it
Hmmmm interesting. I'll have to. Do. More. Research. I read that it was a naturally derived preservative... Made up of 3 different ingredients.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been using eco styler gel since the start of natural hair journey in 2014 and even more after I got rid of the relaxed ends in 2016. I believe with continual use my edges became thinner and thinner. So the thinning wasn't immediate but over a period of time and the eco styler gel may not be the main contributing factor to this however I believe I need an alternative method to get my edges not necessarily laid but a neater look. I know this is not everyone's experience some people have used the gel for much longer than I have and didn't experience any thinning at all.
🗣Eco Styler knew what they were doing! Shout out to you and Bri Hall for revealing the TRUTH! God will bless you, you are genuine! 💯
I started developing bald spots a few months after using eco styler. They diagnosed me with alopecia. I will be switching out my hair products to more natural products. Thank you for spreading the knowledge.
Just received an email too. I plan to do a video but waiting to hear back since I did have questions. I experienced watery eyes and itchiness and also Hair loss due to some breakage. Omgosh exactly! My issue was the reaction and not necessarily the ingredients.
MelissaQ was your email an apology? Bc I’m not about companies being deceitful and muscling people into removing unflattering comments. Side note: F* the FDA, they are not checking on me or my skin.
Did they threaten to sue or offer you money to retract what you've said?
Opulence_prime no they didn’t offer money. They said I gave misinformation 🙄
They didn’t address or deny the harmful ingredients in the rest of their products? Deceitful
I have experienced itchy watery eyes also which is why I only use to flaxseed gel and I only use it for my edges nothing else
of course, they will make out that what they're using is best, and been approved by whatever company to be a good ingredient.. so forth and so on. How do we supposed to know that they use a "not so harsh" kind of TEA ( whatever that is). You still are the judge of what you consume or use. If people saying when they use the gel they experience some bad effects from it or health issues I don't care what they say I wouldn't be using it again.
trecey920 How do u know that your toothpaste is chemical free.
Sable 711 there's laws that protect them
Chalsey Wilder exactly y we need to support the non profit organizations looking to change these laws instead of embracing defeat with a "oh well it's in Everything" attitude 😰🤕
Erika Black pretty much
That’s why my eyes have been burning and getting watery the hell ! It just occurred to me. Damn. We just wanna grow our hair and mind our own business.
That stuff never worked for me anyway. My hair doesn't like at all. So either way I'm not using it.
Thank you for putting this info out there for people to make their own decision. I don't necessarily trust the companies especially when they stand to gain from the product sales. Not everything out on a shelf being sold is harmless. A lot of ingredients in products are FDA approved yet banned in other countries for being unsafe or carcinogenic. Knowledge is power y'all DO YOUR RESEARCH!
I'm relaxed now. When I was natural, I used eco styler gel and it made me itch and thined out my hair in the top. I got tired of using gel since that was the only way I could do anything with my natural hair. My hair has since grown out and is thriving
Thank you for your videos. I have been natural for 5 years and my hair was doing so well before started using eco styler. My eyes burned the first time I used it a year ago so I just started wearing my hair in updos (because it had such good reviews and it gave me such good definition I didn't want anything to put me off it) I also got a tingling sensation on my scalp. After a few months developed an eczema-like rash on the back of my head, my hair began shedding terribly. That was when I stopped using it on my whole head, but I continued to use it as an edge control. My edges eventually began to thin out noticeably. I also developed anxiety issues and thyroid problems about 6 months after I first started using the gel (I am someone who has NEVER suffered from any sort of anxiety or thyroid issues.) The only lifestyle change I made in that time was adding eco styler gel to my hair regimen. After seeing your first video, I cut it out of my routine. I don't know if the gel is to blame, but I'll have to wait and see if there are any changes to my health and hair health.
Thank you for the update. Please keep us updated ✌🏿️💕lsj
You're welcome and I sure will :)
Switching to flax seed gel... thnx jazz!
Alaniz Elliott Good idea! Best to make your own.
Today I used Naptural85’s flaxseed gel in place of eco because I’ve had inexplainable and extensive hair loss, itchy scalp, and a purple skin rash on my shoulder. I had no idea it could be gel before I saw the Eco ingredient videos. Today for the first time since I can remember my scalp doesn’t itch and my hair is already dry and looks great. I’m amazed and grateful for the information from UA-camrs and feel betrayed by Eco even though I should’ve been more discerning about what I put in my hair.
Organic flaxseed and chia seeds are best!❤
The black dollar is so powerful...lmao got these people quaking in their boots
I'm not an avid user of any of the eco gels but on occasion I have used an eco gel in my wash and go and I noticed that every time I used it my scalp itched. I have a very healthy scalp and I have rarely had any issues so it was very noticeable when I experienced the scalp itch. That's my take on this uproar.
P F this was my issue! I would have a bomb Twist out only to scratch the curls out before the 3rd day! I've stopped using ecostyler and the itching subsided. I only stopped because I ran out and I will not be repurchasing eco
Eh, I really hate that the company DM’d you. Eco styler is extra canceled, unless the whole email was an apology.
I can always trust you to bring facts and I appreciate all that you put into your content. Thanks so much!
Hi Jess! Let me start out by saying that I really appreciate you & your channel. I am also battling alopecia & working fulltime to keep the hair I have on my head. I've recently started using an app called Think Dirty which allows users to scan the UPC of a product to find out ratings of ingredients contained in the product. The app database doesn't currently have a lot of the natural haircare products I use, but ECO Styler gel IS in it. The app's "dirty meter" rating is an 8 for the gel, which aligns with your original video that sparked this whole "Cancel ECO Styler movement". Everything is a personal choice, but I believe in making informed choices. So KUDOS to you and Bri Hall for sparking the conversation & the search for clean products!
I’m so glad you did this video. I’m one who never gets headaches & is always healthy but recently I’ve been getting severe headaches, having eye irritations along w / a few other things happening, now I know it’s the Eco styler gel. As soon as I watched ur first video, I washed that stuff out of my hair & started to feel a little better. I had just recently started to have these symptoms since I recently started to use the gel. Eco gel is a NO🚫 for me.
OOHH!! THEY ARE FULL OF IT!! I was using ecostyler gel for yearss and I was wondering why my scalp was itching like crazy. I stopped using it because I was trying to grow my edges back and I noticed my hair wasn't as itch as before. Then once my edges grew back in I started back using it because, I liked the hold of the gel. But, not too long after returning to the use of it my scalped became itchy and my edges began to disapppear. I saw your video and just stopped again. LOL my edges came back. I'm glad to say me and ecostyler gel are no longer friends LOL. This company needs a reality check. I thank you for posting about it and caring enough to educate and share. I pray all is well in 2019. May you and your family continue to be blessed
Thank you so much! Please keep us updated.
Thank you once again for an informative and non bias video. I appreciate your imput
Sales must have dropped that’s why ECO reached out with the email.
I applaud you and thank you for standing your ground. Keep the knowledge coming you have been a great inspiration for so many.
It’s a definite cancellation product for me. Not just because I have experience some of the symptoms you and Bri spoke of, but the fact they reached out to you and in my opinion, from reading what they sent you, it’s more like an intimidation letter than education on their ingredients. Too many options out here and if a company has an issue with someone speaking on their experience, than I’m giving that company the side eye and moving on. I don’t owe them my little coins.
Omg! You have so many subscribers now!. So proud of you. Wishing you nothing but great things love!❤👏🏿🙂
Thank you hun for supporting me from the beginning. I really appreciate all the love :) xo
I saw your video last year after a huge breakout experience with eco styler. after testing it 3 different times and watching your video, you PROVED to me that the TEA in ecostyler was causing the skin irritation. so ecostyler BEEN canceled since last year after i saw your video. they can try to defend themselves all they want but that ingredient literally almost ruined my skin
I just think that it's a shame that your video was released a YEAR ago and these so called natural hair UA-cam hair "gurus" have run out of substantive content to talk about and scoured UA-cam videos for a topic to discuss and they found your video about warnings of potentially harmful ingredients in products to watch out for!! With your (year old) content they decided to film a video that totally strayed away from your initial message and just took it to another level! Not to mention not giving credit to your initial message at all! Now (a year later) you're getting emails from a certain "company" "hair-splaining" themselves because of the content that these so called UA-cam hair "gurus" released. This is just WRONG! These natural hair UA-camrs need to stop and get it together! Now there is a trend of videos about finding "alternatives" to using gel for wash n gos, which was apparently enough to make this "company" nervous about losses to their bottom line. Just shameful!!
Andrea L I definitely agree with you. It seems like the natural hair care community is just like the music industry. Full of puppets chasing a check. These people will do and say anything for some views. It would be more convincing if they were talking about all the harmful chemicals in their make up,body products, and hair products in general. The fact that it’s this one brand really says a lot. It would’ve seemed more sincere if she said she wanted to transition to a more natural lifestyle. These gurus ain’t giving up those sponsorships, make up, nails etc. Jass seems like she really cares about helping people and is in tune with living a natural lifestyle. These gurus are just trying to keep the money coming in and don’t have their health or ours in their best interest because of the way they’ve been programmed.
ahmaya edwards RIGHT, AHMAYA! It's really hypocritical because we don't see any UA-cam hair (or otherwise) "gurus" making natural DIY videos for make up do we?!?!? I just feel like viewers and subscribers need to start their own movement with calling out these UA-camrs on their content because this one takes the cake, child! I'm natural and dont even use gel and I can even see the wrong turn this issue has taken. I think it's just shameful.
dina McIntosh For one ,I don’t use eco products because they irritate my scalp thank you very much. Actually I don’t use most of the products gurus promote because of allergies and protein sensitivities. Thank you very much.
And evidently you’re eyes aren’t open to the propaganda of the natural hair community. You’re the one with a slave mindset and just go along with what people tell you with out researching and understanding motives. It’s not all peaches and cream. It’s a business that is exploiting our ladies and ruining our health. Why would I look up to a person that gets paid by companies to recommended me to use products that are unhealthy to me? Most gurus are scapegoats for these companies. They know all they have to do is pay us and give is free things and we will bring our own people down.
Andrea L I think it was revisited due to an article or news story by a blogger (not a youtuber). It stated how before her blog, it was said that products directed at black women were potentially harmful. I was watching it and that's how I found this channel. Idk how it blew up like this on YT though. It's kinda nice but, then it worries me because I wonder if SOME are just doing it as a bandwagon kinda thing.
ahmaya edwards Bri Hall actually did a video about the stuff in makeup! I found it after seeing her ecostyler video, lol. She does provide and app name where you can scan the product's barcode to see the level of "bad" and what makes it bad. For any products. It doesn't have a lot of black hair care BUT, you can add the info so it can be looked into.
They only sell it in certain neighborhoods. They are mad and how are these chemicals with names you CAN'T pronounce "NATURAL".
No wonder my mother would avoid this gel in the 90s and never used this on my scalp. The container looks pretty but the chemicals aren't good. You're absolutely right.
I'm so glad I saw these two videos! I've read a few articles in the past about issues concerning the ingredients in this product, and some women experiencing itchy scalp, but I just thought maybe it was due to using an excessive amount. My Alopecia started as 3 small round spots, then 5yrs later turned into an all over diffuse thinning due to an autoimmune disorder. It sped up since I've used Eco styler... My scalp itched and I went from never having buildup on my scalp, to always having white residue even when I made sure not to apply directly to my scalp. I've stopped using it completely because my hair feels like straw as soon as I apply it. I'm at a loss on what to do as I've tried so many supplements over the years... my hair is no nowhere near as thick as it used to be.
The response from this company is motivated by their financial bottom line....PERIOD! This young lady's video has been up for over a year, but once Bri's video disseminated this channel's message to a wider audience and other UA-camrs started making videos on the subject, then the company responded. If the company wanted to search for videos, articles, posts and any other opinion forums on their product that they deemed to be negative or untrue, the would've been doing that, but not until it started to open the eyes of their consumers and affect the bottom line did they scramble to formulate a response. It's sad that certain companies don't do better until it's in their financial interest to do so. Great video and thank you for speaking up!
Interesting..... You've given us all something to think about. I've never in my life used any EcoStyler but just the things that you're mentioning made me think. It's our responsibility to research and dig to cover and protect our health.
Thank you so much for this update.
You're welcome :)
When I saw this video I was hoping they'd say they were working on a new gel to ease concerns. They have clear, black, argan oil, olive oil, ect. so I was hoping they made a simpler one.I saw the video from the chemist but I am still wary about frequent and long term exposure to the ingredients so I want to avoid them as much as possible.
There are harmful chemicals in everything from soaps to deodorant to lotion, make up, shampoo, etc. Unfortunately, unless everything you use is straight from soil you till yourself, you won't ever know for sure what you're using on or putting in your body.
Janice Bess exactly!!
What I don't understand is if they're concerned about the chemicals they're putting on their hair, what about the chemicals they're putting on their face?
Ruvieb or in their bodies with the foods they eat? Especially all this fast food or processed foods? That is even worse than the chemicals in hair products. I have been a nurse for 14 years and the most common type of cancer I see in the hospital with patients (irrespective of race) is colon cancer. By the time these patients come to us with abdominal pains and/or constipation, it is usually too late in terms of prognosis. I appreciate the fact that black women like myself are becoming more accepting of growing our natural hair & stuff but also wish that we ( and others) would put as much thought into the foods & drinks we consume
Where did I say what anybody should do? Do whatever you want. I made a statement. A simple statement. Smh
Hope you will try Black Seed Oil if you’re not already. Great for inflammation.
Tbh, I was happy I saw your video. It helped me figure out what was wrong with me and my kid's hair/skin! I have to admit, I started slacking on checking the ingredients on new stuff to try. It's a lot when you have to check food, drinks, lotions, medicine, etc...I was reminded to get my booty back on track seeing your video, lol! Thanks!
Lol, omg...the FDA is not very reliable. Baby powder that is talc is still available. The FDA can approve something bad because it is in "safe" doses in the ONE pkg however, if you are constantly buying/using it...it can become dangerous.
I begun to experience severe itchy and dry/flakey scalp about three months ago. I was trying to figure out a source to the problem until I ran across one of these videos. So I decided to stop using this product and I can honestly say that I have seen improvements in the past few weeks. My scalp looks and feels healthy again. Thanks!
Yes Eco gel just don’t work for me anymore thanks for the update I’m still trying to find products that work for me keep me updated 👍🏾
I just started wearing my hair natural 4 months ago, looking for products for home washing care. Eco Styler was heavily recommended. When I looked up the ingredients - Triethanolamine scared me the most!! So glad I saw your video. I subscribed to your channel for information on healthy products.
Thanks again...
Thank you for caring enough to inform us. All the best!
Thank you for the update.
Ecostyler can say what they want, all I know is I...me....someone with NO allergies (aside from latex), NO skin or scalp issues just recently had a bad reaction from my first time using the gel for a wash n go. All I used was the gel and some sweet almond oil but my scalp started to tingle and itch, then it turned into a burning feeling. It continued until my hair completely dried, then it almost went away. Idc how cheap it is or how nice my hair looked, I’m never using it on my entire head ever again. Idc what they said, something ain’t stirring the kool aid.
Thanks for all the research & updates on the use of EcoStyler gel. I personally have experienced scalp issues when using it. I get dry, itchy patches on my hairline & scalp when I use it & the only way to stop it is washing my hair & scalp with an anti-itch shampoo. I personally have discontinued using it, and am now looking for different alternatives. We have to be careful because other gels for me also cause the same reaction. I can’t pin point what ingredient these companies are putting within the product, that causes this reaction, so I am clueless of what ingredient to look for, so that is my struggle. If I can’t find a gel that works for me, I will stop using gels altogether. Has anyone else experienced this when using EcoStyler gel? I am curious to know. Thanks so much for keeping us informed. Love u Sis! 💕
Thanks for sharing Jass!
You're always welcome!
It's interesting that if they are just now contacting you as to the sudden reason why. Jass, you have always been transparent with your videos as well as Bri Hall's videos. You both encourage each person to read and research on their own. Consumers are becoming more aware of the products they use and I pray they begin to understand that the time to discuss and disclose the safety of their ingredients shouldn't be once the company get 300k plus views on UA-cam but all the time.
I had a very bad reaction to ECO STYLER GEL, before I realized it was “Wheat Protein” that I was having an allergic reaction to. I have written, emailed etc., asking them to make their products from natural ingredients and gluten free. Thank you for being informative!
I have stopped using Eco styling gel. I noticed my scalp was becoming irritated, with every use. I had tender spots on my scalp. Then I read an article that states Eco was being cancelled due to TEA. I've since found another products, with out the ingredient TEA. so far so good. I keep you updated.
Thank you for sharing this update. I still would not go back to using Eco styling gel. It sounds like the company's rep is trying to persuade you into recanting your view of the Eco styling gel, in hopes of continued sales of that product. I still would not go back to using Eco styling gel even if it does contain the so called 'safe grade'.
Still love your original video. Your information and you are golden. Thank you for everything you do for others. You are a Godsend!!!
Better safe than sorry. Honestly, I decided to stop using Eco Gel because we don’t really know if what they are claiming about these ingredients is true, I mean the justification they are giving for each ingredient. I still use it for my edges here and there, but not everyday. And I’m gonna look for NATURAL gels and edge control that hold just like Eco Gel or better because it would be safer for me and my hair.
I'm just upset that this company is now contacting people when they get bad reviews, but never contacted anyone when all these youtubers were giving them free marketing.
I stopped using Eco Styler when you first posted your original video. I bought it again after searching for products that work. Thank you so much. But Now I have completely stopped using cheap gels or even gel in general. My hair is so much healthier now. I have changed a lot of other things also but this was definitely the catalyst that got me moving in the right direction.
I appreciated your video, in 2016 I had stop using Eco because I would get really bad eczema and dry scalp it was so bad that My scalp would bleed .. then I realized it was the eco gel; even though I used it for years without that problem. I had large jars of it so I dumped it and my hair does not have that reaction anymore. I just watch your video too on why you stopped using eco and the ingredients info was very helpful I will be looking out for them in other products.
Thank you for sharing & thank you for your honesty xx
Thank you for your hard work. I stopped using Eco because it was making my hair dry and cause way too much shedding.
Thank you for being the FIRST to bring this to our attention. dont be bullied by these companies they just want our money and I bet they dont even use their own products on their own hair...I appreciate the updates and thanks for helping us all to open our eyes...WE DONT NEED ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS, its all in the technique and diy's work just as well if not even better
Love how thorough you break down the chemicals, the "industry" sells products not care or concern for the consumer. Thank you.
It’s so cool that you posted this video to share this information! Brands are listening to their consumers.
Your skin.. sooo pretty
The must have changed the formula because it doesn’t keep my hair down anymore
Destiny Hodge Yes it is different
Thank you so much in being responsible in sharing all information, very much appreciated! As I listened to their statement read i thought ok nice to know but the truth is use of a "cosmetic grade" of a possible toxin is still not ok. I don't believe that one time use of any one thing is too harmful but it's the consistent use of it that can cause harmful settlements to travel within the body possibly causing harmful effects. Bottom line we all just need to be willing to do the research to know what we're subscribing to. Thanks again 💜
Hey so my hair doesn’t take any product I’ve been trying to grow it and for some reason it grew faster before I was natural compare to post natural. Now when I wash my hair it gets matted even if I detangle before I wash it just mattes together right when water touches it. What do I do? What can I use?
Hi! Thanks for the vid. I can't stop looking at your orchid...it's gorgeous...
Hi Jass what can I use to sleek my 4b/4c hair? Flax seed gel doesn’t work so please help me x
Did their response (Eco styler company) to you change your perspective on their products and would you ever use them again? Also, do you use any gels in your hair currently, beside gels that you can make like flaxseed gel?
I had reactions to ecostyler and the products that I had with the harmful products. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and regimen.
Well what eles should i use? My barber told me to use this stuff.what do you suggest thats just as good?
I purchased the flaxseed Eco gel at a beauty supply store in Connecticut and used it for FOUR days my hair broke off in clumps!!! I have been using the product for three years and never had this happen before. I will be contacting the company!!!
I have psoriasis in my face. And I recently cleared it up for a good week. I work a nice poofy hairstyle after I got my hair straightener and my face was so clear. I went back to my wash and go and started to noticed slowly but sure my face is flaring up again and is itch af. Now to think of it it was only when I apply gel. I’ve tested out all the eco style gels. So I noticed they either flake my hair up or get it too hard. The green and pink is the best for me at the time. Now I’m going to go a week to see if it was the eco styler gel or not. Cause I have sensitive skin. Wow. I love it too.
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH!
What type if gel is everyone replacing ecostyler with now?
Good for you and sharing this. Saying it’s tested and consumer grade means nothing really. I’ve been weary about these products for years and stopped using them years ago. Great one!
What other natural gels do you suggest to use? Can't be bothered to make my own
Thank you so much for this information. I have Alopecia areata and I started my natural hair journey 3 months ago. I am finding products that make my hair feel and look good, but my scalp itches too much and I did not experience this before when I just shampooed my hair, braided it and wore a wig. I am using some Shea Moisture products and oils. What videos show the products you tried and had to stop using. Please help.
I appreciate this video. I appreciate how you handled this as well. I dont think I will be using eco style anymore though 🤷🏾♀️ I also appreciate how they sent you an email explaining everything but its still a no for me
Thank you my beautiful queen... keep enlighten people with your knowledge and skills... I appreciate you
