Elasta QP has a fabulous gel that you can get a Sally's. Its only $4 and it last a long time. I have natural hair and it works the best for me. I also have the Eco Styler gel but for me Elasta QP works best.
i went and bought some right after i watched this video and thank you this is the only gel that lays my edges down defiantly works better than olive oil edge control
Yeah. I like the argan oil one. Its gives a lot of hold! I have the big jar and I am the only one using it. So that is about a year or more worth because I dont use it a lot. I got the big jar at Sallys for like $3 bucks...cant beat it.
I saw that cute little container when I was in Sally's. However, for 99 cents, it was soooooo not worth it considering how much more you get in the larger container for only $4.29 (even cheaper when on sale). I like all of the Eco Styler's, but the clear is my favorite scent. It smells so "out of the shower" fresh! Do you like EcoStyler better than IC Fantasia?
I realized that you are the only relaxed youtuber/make up guru person that I watch and that sucks cuz I'm relax so I also go to you for hair videos which is a good thing..just wish there was other youtube people. :) keep the videos coming.!
I just hope you never go natural then I'm gonna lose hope lol
how many weeks post are you right here? I agree with you, the aloe vera gel I have to use more of that product, when I use the fantasia IC gel i dont but it has a lil hardness to it afterwards.YES! stay away from alcohol! Thanks Megz
I am staying away from the Eco Styler Gel. When I first started my HHJ I tried the regular black one and it gave me a serious case of the itchy scalp. It was so itchy I thought I was gonna die. To get rid of the itchiness had to wash my hair with shampoo twice in one week!!!
I promise I wantd to wtch the whole video but got caught up. You may have said it but does this gel harden the edges? will i stil be able to brush my hair?
Try the WEN hair cream gel. I think you will LOVE it. It works so well on my hair. I have no flyaways, it does NOT get hard, it has no alcohol and absorbs in to the shaft creating shine and providing moisture. It's made of essential oils and herbs :-)
I use both Aloe Vera gel and Ecostyler the clear one with white lid and I love them both. I tend to use the ecostyler more because it does have a stronger hold. And it last for a few days, if you tie your hair down, you don't really have to apply gel daily.
I SWEAR by this stuff. Using the scarf after you apply it, maybe for 15 minutes, ensures that your sides are straight. I love this stuff (I use the clear one).
I tryed the Aloe Vera gel and im in the process of transitioning to go natural(4 months post relaxer) and it made my edges curl up! Lol, Im going to ty this one but in the mean time I'll just stick to my headband.
Question! a couple years ago my hair didnt process right when i relaxed it..now it's half way down my hair & its annoying! it's like a random area of poofy hair midway down my hair! I was thinking of relaxing that area only but never done that. what do you suggest?..i don't wana over process but .arrrgh the poof!lol
I don't know, the whole concept of laying down edges, or slicking them down ... it just has that sweaty/oily look and it also makes the edges appear thinning, at least to me. I don't mind my frizzy edges whenever I do a loose bun or ponytail, I guess.
i used some on my edges yesterday before i went to work. I worked for 7hrs and when i came back home my edges where still slicked down! i love this gel i have the one with olive oil.
Megz I like that gel u get a super hold but im leaning more towards natural products, I use aloe vera gel n shea butter for my edges like meeka jael does it just use the avg then layer the sheabutter n repeat until u get the desired hold. Ur hair will hold all day, that eco styler gets my edges hard even using a tiny bit but I like it I jus put shea butter over it so it wont get hard.
@wunderfulymade I couldn't find it at Sally's so I went to my local BSS and they had it...also you can get it from Amazon.com for really cheap as well...it says the blue is for color treated hair but you can still use it with no problems if you don't have color treated hair...the hold is like a 5
The blue one is for color treated hair has a hold of 8 the pink has a hold of 5 there is a black with protein 8 and one without 10 they also make them in squeeze it form which is where i saw yellow instead of a container
dead on with the review. i have used the eco and the fruit of the earth and the fruit of the earth really doesn't have much hold. I am natural and eco styler is a staple. So is Fantasia. I am running to Sally's for those little samples. Perfect for my gym bag. Thanks Girlie!
I been using that gel for years...even when i had my afro puffs....when i looked for gel i never saw the reason for it having alcohol...so i stay far from it....
I have eco styler gel the regular kind. I've had mine for months and haven't used a lot of it, which I like. It will last for awhile. It doesn't cake up or get white.
I am trying the argan oil version next..I have done the aloe and the pink (curl and wave). It does flake when u put too much which I do sometimes by using daily to get that super smooth effect but in small amounts its fine.
If your edges are hard to hold down, try putting on your gel then tying a scarf around so that it presses your edges down. If you're leaving the house, leave the scarf on until right before u leave or until u get wherever you're going. This helps give me perfectly smooth edges especially when I'm stretching.
I've been transitioning for 13 months and I started using eco styler argan oil gel SPARINGLY two months ago for my edges. The hold is great. I use a scarf to tie it down on my way to work to hold my edges down til the gel sets. However, the gel DOES flake up when you brush it the following day or that night sometimes. I find that if I wet my hair with water first, I don't have a problem.
I love Eco Styler gel!!!! I used to use the green one and it worked great but it made my hair hard and crunchy even after I moisturized underneath...then the best thing came into my life and I haven't looked back since...it's the BLUE E-SG!!! It has a hold of like 5 and doesn't make my hair hard or crunchy at all and I use tons of it to define my curls...it works great :)
I am so glad you made this video! Just last night I was searching your vids to see if you had done a review on this product because I was interested in trying it out! Thank you =]
I can't find a gel I really like for my edges. I'm natural and I used to like the eco styler. I tried the edge control and it's good except it slides down my face after about 15 mins. Sooo, my edges just look crazy most of the time. Thank goodness for headbands.
@ulovemegz Cool. I used the Fantasia also when my hair was natural. It defined my waves and curls, and kept it all moisturized. It's in the Science Of Black Hair, so that's why I bought it again. :) The Fantasia has aloe in it, and there is now one with aloe and olive oil.
I agree ; on the ecostyler giving more hold and i use both but great video <3
