  • ive used this gel and its great

  • what is your curl pattern ??

  • Comment removed

  • I am new to this, I just did the Big Chop last night! Am I suppose to wash the Shea butter and the Eco out of my hair?

  • @GeenahB1 No, the shea butter is a conditioner. you need a type of leave in conditioner on your hair so that the gel wont leave your hair crunchy. I would suggest u use another conditioner for a leave in, especially if u are on the go. Shea butter doesnt mix all that well with other products and it take a lil longer to dry.

  • I might give eco styler argan oil a try again...I don't like how it feels on my hands...but maybe I can mix it my long aid gel. :)

  • We have the same hair except I no long have long hair. Thanks for the video, very informative.

  • how come u don't get flakes from the eco gel? I do.

  • @LoveIsDanswer1 I do too, but maybe it's because i don't mix mine with conditioner like she and other people do...I'm might try it again with the SM conditioner

  • you probably use too much @LoveIsDanswer1

  • I love this damn music!!

  • why did mines come out horrid???

  • so how do you define ur hair?

  • You go girl! I love Shea moisture

  • I love this technique I am going to try it tonight,,, My co-worker loves this style also (Male) he says that its beautiful on you

  • does this combo elongate your curls/reduce shrinkage more than other products/gels you use?

  • I was so inspired by the "easyness" of this that I tried it :) I'm new to this so I don't have the technique already I guess cauz' they won't fall off naturally like yours does after Eco styler gel application ! I twisted ant will wait until it's all dried ! Much admiration from Paris ^^

  • I loveeeee youu and your videoss soo beautifulll!!!

  • What do you do with your hair at night when you try this wash and go technique

  • LUV!

  • Hello, Quick Question... Can this style be worn in cold weather?

  • i love your tutorials and your hair is amazing! have you tried a straw set yet?

  • I tried these 2 and got CRAZY white residue. How did you prevent it?

  • @moniqueboea Sorry to hear you got a white residue. the combo works great for me. One tip is to not be heavy handed with shea moisture. One thing I noticed with the product is you only have to use a small amount to get the desired effect.

  • sahara serum 100% usda argan oil para ban / chemical free argan oil. no silicone.

  • Love the product and the look.

  • we have the same texture..hope it work for me too

  • cant wait till my hair is naturalll

  • I havent really used gel in my hair before. Do you wash it out of your hair the next morning with shampoo and conditioner or do you just leave it and wash it out whenever you wash your hair next? 

  • @19AliciaHair91 I know I'm not who you wanted a response from but I thought i would answer your question anyway. I personally can wait until the next time I wash my hair as long as I don't plan on manipulating my hair to much. If I do then any clumped gel flakes like crazy...I hope that helps!

  • you make it look so easy lol

  • Hey there again< I have been using both of the products shown in this tutorial< however not with the same results:( My hair is very hard to define my curls (4D) and leaves a white residue no matter how much or little product I use. Getting very discouraged and its been a year since my BC:/ HELP!

  • @trulyblessedby3 ....sorry to hear that (and sorry I'm not the person you wanted a response from). Eco Styler though a favorite is not the product for everyone. You may want to (if your not already) be very light with the shea moisture or maybe start applying the shea mositure to dry hair then wetting and then applying the gel. Lucky for you though there are MANY techniques for applying products so if this method doesn't work you can try another.

  • Love love the results! going to try this now with different product. wish me luck!!!

  • beautiful. i'm trying to grow my hair this length before the summer! :)

  • Your hair is so beautiful. I've been inspired to go natural. I've been working really hard to get my hair back to its original, healthy and beautiful state. I've eliminated all perming and I'm doing the minimal amount of heat so every two weeks I do get a flat iron.I'm in the process of growing this dreadful perm out. I've been at it about 4 or 5 months. I think I'm gonna go for this natural look. It's beautiful, healthy and looks so sophisticated. Loving it. Keep the videos coming

  • It defined my curls pretty well but I think I applied too much because it was crunchy

  • Hi i love your hair and i love the way you style your hair i was so happy when i come accross ur video I NEED YOUR HELP!!! My hair is always dry please what can i use to make it soft and not dry?

  • @adorebie sorry that I'm not who you wanted a response from but I thought I could help :) try to up your deep conditioning. Deep conditioning is a great way to add moisture into your hair. I suggest deep conditioning on dry hair so your hair can absorb the maximum product. A good choice for deep conditining are all natural conditioners such as Kinky Curly Knot Today, Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp Conditioner and many more.

  • do u have a perm? or had one?

  • So cute! I must go get this gel! I love that look! :)

  • is your hair naturally curly?

    

  • Wow..yesterday I was so sick of my hair and wanted to give up,but you changed my mind..thank you.seeing your beautiful hair has made me wanna keep going

  • Do you think I will get the same results using a different leave-in conditioner like Garnier Fructis? Just so you know my hair is 4b. Thanks

  • One of the reasons i watch you is because u stay true to your products. I have never seen you use different products or try new ones which encourages me to not be a product junkie! Why fix it if its not broken! Thank u.

  • I just subscribed to your channel. I find your videos really informative, and it gave me the courage to do my first wash n go today using your suggestions. I love the results and adding Olive Oil to my eco styler really helped it not to be crunchy. Thanks!

  • Your hair looks really good. I'm thinking about trying eco styler gel.

  • Bless your heart!! been trying unsuccessfully to do a wash n go with everything under the sun and it would not come out right. Watched your video and already had the eco w/olive oil in my cabinets..lo and behold it came out right! I am so happy! thank you thank you thank you!

  • I just purchased this gel after watching your video and I really like it. The best part about this gel is that it when I have conditioner in my hair with the get they don't react together and make white little chunks of product. Thanks for sharing.

  • Looks really good I was tryin to stay away from Eco but imma try it. Jus goin natural about 3 months in can't wait for it to grow out more luv ur length

  • Got to love 4a hair! I'm transitioning and it looks like I'm 4b (no consistent curl/coil definition), my daugther is 4a and I envy her curls. They are just there wether the hair is wet or dry.

  • I love eco styler gel w/ argan and olive oil! they are BOTH great! LOVE ur hair btw.

  • Pretty girl, pretty hair!!!. Just discovered this gel about a month ago, we have similar hair textures. Its the only gel I have found that defines with less shrinkage

  • Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to try this!!

  • Did you diffuse?

  • I tried this today for the first time, and my hair came out so pretty.. Thanks for the video..

  • I have tried this style and I still can not get it right I think my hair has too too much shrinkage do you think you can give me some advise or pointers.

  • I have been experiencing the gel turing white when I apply it on my hair. I am I doing something wrong?

  • we are hair twins! i used this gel today and love it just as much as the olive oil eco styler. style came out perfect!

  • So you just let your air dry?

  • i love your hair , it looks like mine .

  • Comment removed

  • Not everybody has a Facebook okay :( .... Lol

  • Love your hair!

  • Thanks for the post! I am transitioning for four months now and using Eco/olive oil, shea moist conditioner/argan oil, long with the 2 strang twist and cold wave rod ... it;s really making the transition smoother!

  • Your hair's growing so beautifully Kerry! Love the styles your developing. Be blessed :D

  • Do u have a makeup channel? Your make up is always flawless.

  • Love this style. I will try it next week. I got to get in 4 days of workouts first.

  • LOVE UR MAKEUP 

  • I FORGOT TO ASK...DO YOU SHAKE YOUR CURLS OUT AFTER APPLYING THE ECOSTYLER?.......BECAUSE WHEN I SHAKE MY CURLS SHRINK A LOT AND I HATE IT LOL

  • Hi Carrie - Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your videos. They are very informative and have given me other options for my natural. I have referred others to you Facebook and Youtube channel. Keep up the great work Sista! e

  • I tried your version using my Fantasia IC Gel. I like the curl definition, but not the shrinkage, my hair is too curly... Thanks for the video.

  • I love the review and your hair looks good. Have you tried the Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk?? If so, do you think it would work as a substitute for the Curl Smoothie?

  • Hi I've been looking at your videos ..luv ur hair and make up..simply beautiful

    I'm new to natural hair so question ..I bought 100% pure jojoba oil and 100% pure coconut oil can I use them directly or should I mix them up with olive oil/ any other hair butter/oil I use ( I use parnevu t-tree scalp oil)

  • Your hair looks amazing!!!

  • Tried to join your facebook page but seems you've limited it to a geographical location (USA perhaps?) You should consider opening it up so your fans abroad can get tips also!

  • Hi nurache,

    I checked the page and there is no restrictions set on it. If you have a facebook page I'm not sure why you are unable to join my page. :-(

  • most hair products i use makes my hair very flaky and all of them say no flaking. i am kinda getting tired of buying hair products. what are the best products to use and if you getting flaky stuff in your hair what do you do to get them out? thanks much..

  • @choochiXluvzXMakeup

    Sorry to hear that.. I don't keep gel in my hair long enough for it to start flaking. If gel or any product that you use cause your hair to flake and does not work for you then just use a leave-in conditioner and set it with an oil.

  • @SimplYounique thanks much... whats the best organic, natural leave in conditioner to use?

  • @choochiXluvzXMakeup

    aloe vera gel or flax seed gel maybe?

  • Im going to have to try this our hair is similar when I wear it wash n go

  • Is the wash n go's your "go to" style?  Do you wet and re-apply product daily?

    Love it!

  • Nevermind. I see it in your next video :-)

  • This is really cute! How do you maintain this style on a daily basis? I want to try this.

  • I've been looking for that gel for two weeks, but can't find it around me anywhere.. I guess I am going to have to order it online :( your hair looks great.. I can not wait to get some length... where did you buy your gel? Sally's or BSS?

  • @mscrownofglory

    I got it from Sally's

  • @SimplYounique Thanks, I will try them again, they were out :(

  • very nice!!! Now how long does this last with the gel application before you'll need to wash it out?

  • Sally's has a sale on ecostyler gel right now!

  • Another great, informative video. Love them all. Blessings

  • I'm going to try this and get some of that shea moisture. Thanks for sharing!

  • I like how you used the gel! Everytime i use the gel i get flakes and white residue :( so im going to stop using it but i really like how u use it!!

  • I just love you.

  • Where did you buy this gel?

  • @raynlead

    Sally's Beauty Supply store

  • Im envy your eyebrows lol always on point, and I recently did my second big chop and im looking forward to my hair being close to that length next year. :)

  • Beautiful as always! You are an inspiration to me in my hair journey.

  • Eco Styler gel makes my hair crunchy. I will try putting the smoothie on first to see how it comes out.

    Thanks for the vid Kerry. Your hair & makeup is beautiful as always.

  • Love it, I am going to try this...

  • As always I love it:)

  • What kind of camera do you use?

  • @FeelinSoSexci13

    Samsung SL202

  • love your wash and gos

  • Your wash and go came out very pretty. I like the eco styler gel as well. I use both kinky curly and eco styler, but my hair comes out better with the eco styler.

  • nice

  • Ok so since your officially my hair guru, which one betta the Argan one or the olive oil one. In your opinion do you think you got the same result with the olive oil gel? Other than dat mi loiiike it!!!! BDL

  • @stiggydee

    lol.. Yes, my results were the same.

  • @mmlr1983 I get the same white bits when I use eco styler gel with any product that i se.

  • I luved it it looks great, was that the dry finished product in the video ?

  • I really want to try a wash n go, but I am SO NERVOUS...lol Yours came out lovely as usual!

  • Do you get more tangles than usual with your wash n' go?

  • damn girl your hair is growing mighty fast

  • do u still do makeup tutorials?

  • Great video!!! Ur hair is as lovely as ever

  • that is soooo pretty <3

  • That's beautiful mama

  • i looove how your hair hads gorwn its so pretty!! oh and that argan oil eco styler is my new found love. i love twist outs with it = )

  • @ MyYunika I live in BR and get mine from Walgreens. I believe they sell it nation wide now but if you can't fund it there try target.

  • @ MyYunika I live in

  • I use these very same two products and i love them! (Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Eco w/argan oil) The work very well together, I agree.

  • Your hair looks awesome!!! I wish I had beautiful curls like that but my hair never seems to have that definition! But I love your results!

  • i love the eco styler gel with argan oil..i perfer it over the one with olive oil only becauseof the fragrance. great video!

  • I really like the results you got. Want to do mine but gonna wait for a little more length, lol!

  • im ready for a length check lol is it time yet?! .... this look is gorgeous girl!

  • where do you get the Curl Enhancing Smoothie? I live in New Orleans

  • @MyYuniko

    Disregard the first comment I sent.. I got the shea curl enhancing smoothie from Target..

  • I've checked out your latest videos and ended up subscribing, I enjoy your tutorials and your down-to-earth warm persona. I never tried that kind of Eco Style gel, only the olive oil one, but i must say it seems to work wonders, and sweet and subtle is better then strong and loud xD

  • Thx for da vid...luv it! Extra virgin olive oil? When do you apply this?  My curl pattern is very similar to urs...so I'd luv to try dis style as well :-)

  • Very nice! :D

  • lawd, you've awesome style! when it comes to hair styling and the healthy look of your hair, no one comes close!

  • Lovely as always

  • i i love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

    

  • Omg so CUTE!

  • @nanidiamond

    Maybe when I run out of eco styler gel, I will check that product out.

  • Thank you so much! I'm about an inch away from armpit length so I will be trying this soon...by the way, your make-up is awesome!

  • @TonnieChanelle88

    Thank you

  • I haven't done a wash n go in forever...you just made me want to do one!

  • Whenever I use this product with the Curl Enhancing Smoothie, I get bits in my hair. It's not really flakes, but little bits or balls of product. Does that happen to you or is that why you only wear a wash n go for 1 day? Love the video :)

  • @mmlr1983

    Thanks.. I don't get the white build up that some people experience.. I guess it's because our hair reacts to products differently. I wear my wash & go for only one day because I usually don't like the way it looks the next day.. I hate trying to revive it after it has been smooshed from me sleeping on it. Also, gel can be drying if you leave it on your hair for too long, so I like washing it out regularly.

  • @SimplYounique Thanks for the quick response and the follow up video :) Your hair looks great! I'll keep playing with the eco styler and see what happens. I just bought the Shea Moisture Hair Milk, so I might try that underneath instead of the Curl Enhancing Smoothie...Thanks again!!

  • @mmlr1983 i experience the same problem, so i started using clear products like kinky-curly to avoid that 'bitty' build-up.

  • @francineweakley Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one :) I'm still trying to get the hang of kinky-curly. I think I'm using too much bc it always flakes on me...sigh! Thanks for the tip though!

  • I like! Another great vid. Thanks! :)

  • Love it I have all these products so I'll try this on my TWA!

  • i love the shape of your hair is it cut into layers?

  • @ctau410

    Thanks.. That's how it grows.. I didn't cut it in layers.

  • I never thought about these as a combination! wow! work it out chica! Love it!

  • Wow, your hair is really going. I'm a transitioner at 8 months

  • Very nice! I have all of these products, so I will definitely try this process.

  • Really cute....thanks for sharing

  • Cute!

  • love your curl pattern and the way it hangs.

  • @noko3300

    Thanks

  • cute have you ever tried the kinky curly for this type of hairstyle?

  • @MzShawnee100

    I tried KCCC earlier on in my journey.. I should revisit that product one day.

  • @SimplYounique i tried it before and my hair was so crunchy and short i did not like it...lol

  • the kccc

  • ohhh, i have GOT to try this! i've been had this gel for months, but i need to try it with the shea moisture! beautiful results!

  • @suprrkool

    Thanks.. I hope you like your results.

  • I've tried this product and I actually like them both. THe olive Oil is more crunchy than the argan oil and I like the shine from the argan oil. YOur hair had done well in the natural state. I have followed all of your vids which have helped me alot. Thanks for sharing.

  • @cocomodiva

    Thanks.. I appreciate you watching.

  • Hey kerry its so crazy i do the same exact thing to my hair with my wash & go but instead of the eco styler i use miss jessie quicj curls but def going to try the eco styler because yours didnt seem as wild as mine fully dry

  • @NaturalTrends88

    Let me know how it works out for you. :-)

  • @SimplYounique i def will!! and if you can swing by my page hope you like it and if you do please subsribe that would make my yr!!! thanx luv and your videos are soooo amazing!!

  • HOW DO YOU keep the shea moisture from leaving white residue?

  • @debosbambam

    I don't put a lot of the product on my hair so I never experience the white residue that other people complain about. Also, our hair responds to products differently, so that may be another reason why I don't get the white bulbs or residue.

  • absolutely beautiful!

  • Would your hair turn out the same way if you got under the dryer for a little while to make sure it is not wet? Also where can I get all those products?

  • Ur hair came out cute, I thin the it would really look great if u shake it to give it more volume. Thanks for sharing : )

  • Thanks so much for sharing!
