Product Review - Ecostyler Olive Oil styling gel

(origin)

OK Naturals, I'm not gonna lie when I say I had a hard time tracking this down in Denver.  Not the Eco Styling gel so much as the Olive Oil one.  I just assumed when I saw it was at a local Sally's online that it was the Olive oil one but it wasn't.  A little more digging on my part allowed me to find a Sally's with one that wasn't really that far away.  I was excited to say the least.


I have been hearing so many Naturals RAVING about this stuff that I was in need to try it myself.  I've heard some say they use it daily like I use my Kinky Curly Curly Custard so that really got me curious.  It was cheap too so that was a plus when I picked it up a few months ago.

I was using let's Jam gel for so long before I realized it wasn't good for my hair so when I came across this I was excited and pleased.  It's light, doesn't flake and clear.  I like that about it as well as it glides through my hair with no problem.  There is a very, very light scent that is pleasant and the jar is HUGE!  You get your money's worth that is for sure.

Eco Styler Olive Oil styling gel  ****

Gotta follow the crowd and love this stuff!  It's great on my hair and no flaking what so ever!  My curls are shiny and distinct and my hair doesn't feel weighed down at all.  It holds very similarly to KCCC, but I must add the reason it won't replace it is because of the protein.  I can't be putting this stuff in my hair everyday like KCCC.  Reading ingredients is key and seeing some Naturals complain about brittle hair made me look at the ingredients a little deeper and see that there was protein in it.  So you know what that means....I use it sparingly.  I try not to use it more than once a week so that big bottle lasts a really long time. 

This is a keeper and a good buy if you want to give it a try.

Take care Naturals,
