So, yesterday while at the store with my son I needed some more of my Aussie Moist and you know what that means. Since I was walking down the aisle looking at all the products I happened to come across the Eco Styler Gel. Now, I have read a lot about Eco Styler Gel and Kinky Curly Curling Custard. For my first attempt with a gel I decided to only spent $2.49 as compared to $16.99 for KCCC and then having to buy Knot Today for $11.99. So, the Eco Styler can be used with my Aussie Moist for $5.69 for a grand total of $8.18 or the KCCC for a grand total of $28.98. No brainer, I went with the Eco Styler.
Okay, so I co-washed my hair with my Hello Hydration this morning. For my leave in I used my Aussie Moist and then I started to apply my Eco Styler all over my head starting in the back. As I raked it through my hair with my fingers I detangled with my wide tooth comb using my other hand. In the front I created a part and pinned the part down with some clips until my hair dried. Which only took about 3 hours. I then used my Denman brush to define the curls in the front.

I'm sure you can tell after seven pictures that I really liked this look. Total thumbs up for the Eco Styler Gel! I have a very firm hold and it was a little crunchy, but since it has dried and I have played with the curls my hair has softened up a lot. I expect it to soften up some more after I have slept on it tonight. It was a super quick style that took only about 5 minutes to apply the gel and I loved how defined my curls came out. I plan to wear my hair like this till wash day Saturday which happens to also be my birthday. I'm hoping that it gets fuller as the week progresses because I really like big full hair. As always your thoughts and comments are welcome. BTW I will gladly welcome your thoughts on what you think my hair type is. I think that I might be a 4a or a 3c, but I really don't know so your thoughts are welcomed. Until next time...
Blessings!
Absolutely beautiful curls! It worked great on your hair!
ReplyDeleteYour curls are awesome! I was not a fan of Eco Styler, but it is working for you. I hope you continue to find the prods that best suit your hair! Your hair type looks like a 3c. Type 4 looks more wooly and the curls are very tightly wound. Yours are loose and VERY wavy. I love your hair!
ReplyDeleteI love eco styler on your curls! I also think you are more towards 3 than 4 hair type. very pretty:-)
ReplyDeleteNice! You know, I have never tried EcoStyler for a Wash&Go..crazy I know.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to test it out, and see how it works as compared to the KCCC in my hair..
Stay Beautiful!
@Precious thank you!
ReplyDelete@Chastity I picked up the Eco Styler because it was so cheap and I thought that if it didn't work out I would simply throw it away.
@Coco Natural welcome to my blog and thanks for the advice.
@Krys the KCCC looks really good in your hair. Maybe borrowing some Eco from someone first to try before buying another product.
