Try Long Aid Activator sold at Walgreens on freshly washed and conditioned hair. Doesn't matter whether it's wet or dry hair. Saturate your hair with the activator first, then use the styler gel. You'll get the smae exact results with completely soft and moisturaized hair. To refresh, just wet with water and shake and go.
I know it's a late response to this video, but I use the same eco gel in this video. Anyway, i was in a hurry one day and didn't want to take a chance with flakes, so i added olive oil (from my kitchen) to the entire gel tub. I never got a chance to try the gel as it is (so i can't say if it flakes on my hair).
I've never had flaking with the white eco gel and olive oil mix, so go ahead and try mixing both and see if the flaking stops.
Btw, the crunchiness give me something to mess with.
how do you post pictures on you tube in a video format? I would really like to find ppl with hair like mine so I can know what products that would work well with it. I think I'm a 4a, but could be wrong bec the 4a's on here look more like 4b and 3c sometimes. Also I haven't been natural long and I'm excited to see results of how it could look later :) Help?
I really don't like the way you talk about your natural hair. Maybe if you give it a couple more deep condition sessions or stop using drying products, it would be "tough 4b hair"
Thanks for the vid! I've got very short natural hair, and I've been trying to work out how to use my ecostyler. Even your comments have some good tips in them! I hope you keep us posted on your progress.
GURLLLLLLLLL< me and you have the exact same hair. It mine me crunchy in like 2 days. Please if u find something that will make this hair look softer. it would be great
You can also try mixing a plain cone and sulfate free conditioner with your favorite 100% oils with your gel to reduce crunchiness... For mixing inspiration, check out prettydimples01 home made gel conditioning method.. U can mix how u like.
They ( Sallys) sells an Eco Sylyer gel and it is green ..it has olive oil in it and it does not get cruchy and it has great curl definition and your hair drys soft
I agree with Rays4487 regarding your "tough" hair. It looks gorgeous and soft. Oil and moisture will prevent breakage even better than gel.
Having said that: If you're on Nappturality you might want to try Shae's Pudding, which is a homemade recipe. To date this is the only thing I've used that gave me shine and hold and didn't make my hair crunchy...plus it's affordable compared to KCCC.
My texture is similar to yours but that brush scares me. How long did it take to do your whole head?
Have you ever worn your hair without the gel? I was looking at the side of you hair without the gel and it looked so soft, fluffy, free, and fun :-). You have such a pretty face that you would look good with or without the gel
I go without gel only in the summer opting for drawstring ponytails. I find that my ends and hair folicles are forced to lay down preventing dry out & end breakage when protected with gel. Puffs are fun, though.
Girl, i did the clear gel and i was CRUNCHY!!!! I'll tell you what works .... Kinky Curly Curling Custard. I did it and it's AWESOME. moisture retention, shine, curl definition for DAYS!! Try it.
girl get off that demonic freq. crap, so u can cut the UMMs and get on Jesus, LACKING!!

My hair kind of spirals on its own but I coudln't figure out how to separate the curls. Your videos are very very helpful. thank you very much.
I hope you wouldn't mind showing how you do the blowdrying portion. Do you clip the hair so that you can manipulate the part you're drying. thanks.

Love your video and hair. I use the same products. Try Long Aid Activator Gel under the Ecostyler. Same hold, but is much much softer.

I go without gel only in the summer opting for drawstring ponytails. I find that my ends and hair folicles are forced to lay down preventing dry out & end breakage when protected with gel. Puffs are fun, though.
