Hey Yall! I know I've been talking about hair a lot lately, and the reason for that is I like to experiment with my hair during the summer months to try to keep it under control from humidity. So far, I've been doing a good job when I'm wearing it in a twist-out. Now, when it's straight, that's a different story.
What keeps my twist-outs defined and frizz-free is from using ECO Styler Gel. The gel gives my hair a great hold lasting up to a week. However, it does have my hair feeling hard and crunchy for a few days which I don't mind because, on day 3, my twist-out is bangin'!!! Soft and defined!
When I was about to go on my trip to St. Croix, I visited a beauty supply store to find a small size of ECO Styler Gel to take with me on my trip for touch ups. During my search down the aisles, I found the gel I needed but also found another product made by ECO called ECO Natural Cocktail Super Fruit Curl Complex. This lightweight curl & style creme gel claims that it will have your curls soft, defined, and frizz-free.
I was sold after reading that and taking a sniff of the hair creme, very fruity and delightful. I want my hair to be soft with hold when I do my twist-outs from day 1. I don't want to have to add a lot of oil to get the moisture back in my hair since gel can dry it out.
I did my usual, wash, condition, and then added my leave-in conditioner. Instead of using ECO Styler Gel, I used the ECO Natural Creme in its place and created mini twists and let my hair dry overnight.
The following morning, I unraveled my hair revealing soft bouncing curls. However, my hair felt sticky like it was filled with product build up. Darn! Also, a bit of white flakes here and there too. Double darn!
I really wanted to love this product. I wore my hair as it was and the sticky feeling wore away after a couple of days. I hate to let this hair product go to waste, so next time I'll use it lightly and hope for a better result. I'm pretty heavy handed when it comes to applying hair products.

Have y'all tried this creme out before?
I bought this a few weeks ago, but I haven't tried it yet. I want to see if it will work for a wash n go. My mom uses it and likes it, but she has really short hair. Hopefully, it works better for you by using less .
ReplyDeleteI think it would work for a wash and go. I don't do them because since my hair is short the shrinkage would make me look like I have a mini fro.
DeleteI just used the ECO Natural again, I'm waiting for my twist to set and I'll let you know, and will update this post.
UPDATE: My hair still felt like product build-up. However, I used it on my youngest daughter's hair and her hair didn't feel that way, but had some white flakes.
DeleteAw, I was hoping that you were going to love it. I tried some Eco styling gel and it didn't give me the results that everyone swears it does.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried such product before.It seems this product gives better curls for you.
ReplyDeleteI bought this product a while ago used it last weekend and damn the product worked like miracle you should have seen the curves. Thank you for your review which made me buy this product. So happy I read it.
