Ecoco Eco Style Hair Gel - Curl And Wave - Anti-Itch, Alcohol-Free Formula - Perfect Hold For Angled Or Tapered Sides - Ideal For Wavy Hair - No Flakes - Not Animal Tested - Moisturizes - 8 Oz

I was dying to find something that was going to manage my curls, manage the frizz, not be crusty, not be crunchy, and not weight down my hair - plus do this for the entire day. I kept buying more and more creams, mousses, other extreme freeze gels which never did the job right. My hair became flat, became frizzy as the day went along, or became crusty. I was just about ready to get my hair chemically straighted because I was so completely over the financial loss of all these useless products, until now. I was kind of hesitant with this product, it honestly looked like it belonged on the dollar store shelf, or maybe something a cheap guy would have in his bathroom.. The container was this huge bucket that was leaking on its side due to the amount of product actually stuffed in there and it made me skeptical. I figured I would put it in my hair and the next morning have just a greasy, crunchy, flat curl the next day but I was very much wrong. The hold is perfect, it really brings out every curl just with a simple crunch of the product in your hair. You don't have to technically wrap every curl with the product to get good results. I go to sleep with my hair damp after a shower (I know, bring the pitchforks), in. because this is how I've managed frizz forever. If I blow dry or walk around and air dry, I get automatic frizz despite other product use. I went to bed with my silk bonnet on my head and I had amazing results the next day. My hair was curly, it was bouncy, and it wasn't frizzy, and it lasted an entire day of shopping and running around, which is a huge win in my book. There was no crusty or crunchy section of my hair, it almost felt unreal if what the product was and what the actual results were. The effectiveness was everything I could have asked for. This big ol bucket of sparking bubblegum goo just found its newest fan. If everyone else is maybe experiencing some of the side effects that I have had with other products, maybe this product is your new friend

This gel has officially earned a permanent spot in my hair routine! It keeps my curls and waves looking defined, bouncy, and happy all day long without turning my hair into a crunchy helmet. The hold is just right — strong enough to tame the frizz but soft enough that my hair still feels touchable. Another big win: no flakes, no sticky mess, and no weird residue. Just smooth, shiny curls that behave themselves (which is honestly asking a lot from my hair some days). The tub lasts forever because a little goes a long way, making it an awesome value for the price. If your curls or waves need a little encouragement to live their best life, this gel is definitely worth trying! ★★★★★

Great product as it says gives the curly and the waves. It's not greasy at all. Definitely keeps the hair uniformed which I love.

I mix with leave in conditioner. Works well on my natural loose short cut.

I frequently buy this brand but this size is ridiculously small. I’m talking use once and it’s pretty much gone. Not worth it. Not sure who would purchase this size.

UPDATE AS OF 10/31/2013: Eco Styler decided to go and change this level from a 7 to 8 hold! Which means they have added yet another 10 hold to their product line. I simply don't understand why Eco Styler continues to make all their gels level 10s. I get people have complained that both the green and clear formula have a smell people's noses don't agree with. However, I can't help but feel disappointed by the change. I liked this formula because: A) My curls were defined AND B) My curls felt good to the touch and wasn't as at all crunchy like the 10s left my hair. The only times I like to use the level 10s is when I'm putting my hair in a bun or mixing it with oils for mini twists. Other than that this level 7 and the level 5 (which is now a 10-Sport) are now a thing of the past. *************************************************************************************** After being in love with the Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel for the last two years and having moderate results with the Ecoco Eco styler Krystal Styling Gel 32 oz , I went on ahead and went against the grain to try this one. I will say the results of this was kind of shocked me -- I thought it would be much too light, but I was wrong, I'm recently using it as a wash-n-go and my curls look incredible with this gel! There is no crunch, my 3c/4a/4b curls clump well, movement, and the shine is killer! I applied this using my shea butter mixture in the process, after both products dried, I put my hands to it and there was no crunch just a great hold and nice to the touch. I have also used it on dry hair and still the results look amazing. Lastly, the camomile and tea tree oil are included in the list of ingredients -- very ideal for those who have dry, irritating, and itchy scalp -- perfect for me. The only con I have about this gel, unlike the Eco Krystal or Olive Oil, this doesn't do a very good job at slicking my hair back or my edges. What I will do is when I want to put my hair in a puff, bun, or updos Eco Styler Krystal or Olive Oil will be what I use. But for curl defining -- Pink wins! If you still unsure of my review you might want to try the 8oz or 16oz if they are available.

I love this gel! It helps define my curls and makes my hair look amazing.

My hair is probably a 2a now. I'm well-versed in styling my hair and knowing which products will work with success. My hair responds well to mousse and a firm hold gel. I get the best results with the LA Looks blue gel. I've also used other Eco gels with good results. However, when I saw this curly "max hold" gel, I wanted to try it! I'm still looking for something that will help form the tighter curls I had before having kids. With that, this gel seemed promising. The viscosity felt good. It was firm, like what you'd expect from a max hold gel. I normally brush the gel through my hair, but this gel creates resistance. When brushing it through, it created stringy clumps. I sprayed my hair with water, formed new thick clumps, and microplopped. All was looking good again. As I diffused it, the gel turned soft on my hair. It creates no cast. I could see the hair starting to frizz. There was no fixing it. I was not interested in wetting my hair again and starting over. This was also the second time using this gel with the same results. The first picture I included for this review is with this product. The second is an older pic of my typical style with a different gel. With that, after it was complete dry, there was some sort of frizzy wave happening. This gel is terrible. I would not recommend.

My curl journey has been a tought one. I had wavy hair my whole childhood, so when my hair turned curly as a teenager I did not know what to do. I had never heard about hair just turning curly out of nowhere before, but apperently it has something to do with hormones. My hair was so frizzy and untaimable and I didn't know what to do. All the products I bought weighted down my hair and dried it out. But this gel was really a game changer. It made my curls so soft and defined without weighting them down. It is very hard to create a gel cast, but if you apply it the right way it works so well for my 3a hair.

使いやすい！

Excellent gel. Love the curls staying ability and softness after applying
