Eco Chic L.A. Natural Styling Gel (6.8 Oz, 2-Pack)

I was searching for a new product to use for my curls, especially in this heat! My old product, Twist by Ouidad, no longer sells the light hold gel that I loved. This product was affordable AND feels amazing on my curls. I usually put a small drop on my hand and mix with a little water to lighten the amount of hold I want. It smells subtle but nice and clean, I even smelled it the next day after a full night of sleeping with my curls up. I only needed to dampen my curls a bit with some water in my hands to reactivate it, but I also added a tiny bit more for a fresher look and to tame any frizz I had. The hold is wonderful for the humidity, and I like that I can easily use a little more water to lighten the hold. Overall it is easy to use/portion, and performs well. I didn't get a good enough photo because I'm at work right now, but I HAD to review this from how happy I was. It also added some volume to my hair and didn't weigh down any of my curls and no stickiness!!

Smells nice and not strong or nauseating like some although , I am just sensitive to scents. Great hold, defines curls. You can pretty much control the hold by how much you use so it's very versatile. I am hooked! Tried all brands at all different price points but, this one delivers. Next I'm trying the leave in conditioner.

I have very thick hair, It does hold well, but creates flakes.

I bought this gel hoping to find a cost effective replacement for my beloved Innersense gel. Imagine my surprise when it worked better! It has a strong enough hold to create a nice curl cast but is lightweight enough that I don’t sacrifice volume. The texture of the gel is smooth and not too sticky. The scent is light and floral. My curls come out fluffy but not frizzy, and can easily be brought back to life (I’m on day 3 hair right now and going strong). I will be buying again!

Great product. Strong hold. Great Price. Thanks

I have curly hair and finding products that work well without weighing it down, making it oily or making it feel stiff & cement like is hard. This is the best I've found and I've tried the more expensive brands like Aveda (several of their varied products), other natural brands, and even some of the mainstream brands that don't have as awful of ingredients as most. This is the one I always go back to and have done for at least 6 years now.I apply it while my hair is still wet after I've combed out any tangles. I put about a silver dollar sized blob in my hand and make sure its applied to the ends, the underside (this gives more body), the top (to keep frizz away) and the area around my face (to better hold curly shapes there). I then scrunch my hair to enable the curls and let my hair mostly air dry. After at least 20 minutes (if not longer) I blow dry my hair upside down while scrunching it, sometimes putting a light layer of hairspray on while upside down, blow-drying and scrunching. I then flip back up, do a bit more scrunch drying while right side up, maybe do a bit more light hairspray then I'm done. This gives great hold without feeling stiff or crunchy (obviously the amount & type of hair spray makes a difference too) and it will last the day, even into the next day (I don't wash it daily & you shouldn't either if you're a curly haired gal).As far as hair spray goes, use something that says light hold or brush through - less likely to make it stiff and crunchy. You also want to use a super strong conditioner, like the ones for damaged hair, as it will also help keep your curls nourished and curly vs. frizzy. If you have to shower daily don't shampoo daily, skip shampoo and only wet it or just do conditioner on the ends. Over shampooing will absolutely frizz out your curls. Some people recommend only shampooing once per week. I like every 3 days or so for my hair, but again, I use both shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair as it will prevent drying out. Even with the damaged hair type shampoo's you still don't want to shampoo daily. If you have a greasy scalp then just apply it only to your scalp, not the lengths of your hair if shampooing more frequently. This is my current favorite shampoo and conditioner: Giovanni 2Chic Ultra Repair Shampoo, Blackberry and Coconut Milk, 1.5 Fluid Ounce However, it has a smoky (incense like) coconut scent, so if you don't like that then try the one of the same brand but that comes in the green or brown bottle as those have lighter scents.

I am trying to use hair products that are silicone free, and this gel meets that standard. I've used it 3 times so far. The first two times it held my waves pretty well, but it left my hair feeling extremely dry and gritty. I used less the 3rd time and also used a protein treatment and more moisturizing shampoo and conditioner; but, unfortunately, ended up with hardly any hold at all for my waves.

i have very healthy, fine, curly hair which means i struggle with lasting hold, my hair gets weighed down very easily and is prone to build up. this gel is incredible!! it is definitely on the thicker side, which can be intimidating if you have fine hair but i take some in my hand, spray water on top to help it coat my hair better when i apply it. it feels a bit sticky but i promise after you diffuse your hair and scrunch out the gel cast, it's super soft and bouncy but you maintain the hold and have no frizz. it's great, forever will repurchase. i've tried other gels from aveda, ouidad, and curlsmith but this one is so much better & a lot cheaper.also the scent is very clean/natural/slightly citrus smelling but very subtle, which i prefer because i cannot stand hair products that have overwhelming scents.

No build up on the hair, light weight, good for layering with other products.

I love the fact the product is more natural than most…it does add body, but does not hold my hair.

Finde das Produkt sehr gut zum stylen von Locken. Ich habe es nur im Nasszusstand aufgetragen und dann mit dem Föhn difused. Meine Haare waren danch nicht mehr so puffi und in alle Richtungen sondern definiert. Ich habe relativ viel Gel immer benötigt, habe aber auch dicke und viele Haare. Produkt hat trotzdessen sehr lange gehalten. Meins ist jetzt leer gegangen und ich bestell mir das styling Gel nach. Ich kann es nur emphehlen.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto per mia moglie, ossessionata dalla cura per i capelli ricci. Con questo prodotto dice di aver trovato un ottima soluzione per la cura ed il mantenimento di quel particolare tipo di capello e durata nel tempo

Amazinggg product ! Gives a perfect hold for pretty good no of days this one is added like forever
