Hairstylist Gets Real: Should You CANCEL ECOSTYLER?

[@GetGlamFam]

Hey Glambassadors! What are YOUR thoughts on this whole thing? Are you still using it, or are you cancelling it? Feel free to share your thoughts on all this! Love you boo! Linwood

[@fayremaiden2425]

Not anymore.. .

[@sharonkellum9099]

GlamFam I stopped using it. I didn't like it made my hair feel

[@GetGlamFam]

Have you found a backup gel that you like?

[@GetGlamFam]

Sharon, I understand, my hair has never agreed with it, Alison loves it on the other hand 🤷🏽‍♂️ it seems to work just fine for her.

[@fayremaiden2425]

Using Kinky Curly Curling Custard.. .Works for me :-)

[@keke9830]

I have never seen anyone this knowledgeable about hair and hair products. This is what is needed in the beauty schools and salons!

I' ve been using Ecostyler for 10 years (not everyday though) and have never had all these reactions folks are saying they had. While not a hair chemist, I'm a chemist in real life, and just don't freak out about a lot of stuff. Practically anything is carcinogenic if you consume or use too much of it.

[@GetGlamFam]

I completely agree!

[@jenniferealymig85]

I use this gel and never had a problem. I use it once a week and I spray my hair every day with coconut leave in natural conditioner. I really like Eco gel and will continue to use it.

[@BananaPhone234]

Ms. Marvis! Get it sis!!! Idk why chemist in real life just sent me….but I’m so gassed!

[@roki5337]

I make my own flaxseed gel, I also make my own soap and lotion as well as blend -up my own shea butter cremes for the girls's hair and skin; yes it is work but I know what is in it. But just like everything else you have to have time for making your own stuff. Folks don't want to pay the money for all natural stuff made in small batches and then they go buy the lower priced brand name items for convenience then complain about what is in it.

[@Princess0ftheLight]

Yes, this here is the truth. This is also the reason I started making my own beauty products as well because I noticed the lower priced hair products have crap ingredients.

[@lalaortiz9747]

I like eco styling gel especially their flex seed one i feel like just cause one person having issues with it doesnt mean the next person will.

[@GetGlamFam]

I would have to agree, and of course, if someone has a reaction, then they should discontinue using it. I don’t think anyone assumed ES was an all natural product, so it’s difficult to see what all the fuss is about.

[@lalaortiz9747]

I feel the same way

[@SM-yt1bp]

Same I love it it dosent harden like other gems but holds I can brush my hair perfectly after wards I use it

[@CrystalOmereife]

Same her dear. I still use the eco styler gel (black castor and flaxseed oil) version. Its great for my hair and even helps my hair grow. No way am giving up on it at all. I love it

No breakouts or burning works great for me. Argon is the best for my hair.

RIGHT ON TIME LINWOOD I WANTED YOUR VIEW ON THIS SUBJECT! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!

[@GetGlamFam]

Such a pleasure, I hope you found this to be helpful in some way or another!

[@9inchtablet]

I don't know why people act like you can't have bad reactions to natural products too. My grandfather used to practice medicine and I remember he would tell me about different ways we treated conditions and diseases before modern medicines came about and I got to thinking, if "natural" products were the best thing you can ever have ever, we wouldn't have had to develop the artificial stuff in the first place. Not that natural doesn't have its place in the world but it's okay to use either type of products if it's working for you.

[@lakeishag76]

This is very informative! Thank you for sharing. I use eco styler gel and don’t plan on throwing it away. Like you stated, there are a number of products we consume with harmful ingredients. It’s a matter of picking your poison.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Awesome video!!! I loved that you addressed how it's so important to pay attention to what you put IN your body, that subject often gets ignored. Also I have to try out the wet line hair gel!! Thank you again for sharing my channel!! I can't wait to watch more of your videos! :-)

[@GetGlamFam]

Thank you Sharmaine! I love the wetline Xtreme gel, especially because it reactivates when you get it wet. I love your videos! Especially because you are so thorough in discussion of chemical structure of products and their purpose, it’s much needed information for more educated consumers! I’m a firm believer in sharing channels that create quality content, and you definitely do that without a doubt! Yes, what you put in is so important, I truly wish more people thought about it! Many of us unknowingly poison ourselves daily, simply because we didn’t take the time to read the ingredients. Thanks for watching Sharmaine, it’s much appreciated and I look forward to your future videos as well! 😊👍🏽💚

[@keishafrazier9897]

Eco style gel.....it's a gift and a curse...lets go waaay back to 1993. When I was in cosmetology school once a week my classmates would do a product mini seminar on the pros and cons of certain products. Back then it was the battle between Queen Helene, Eco Style and Ampro gels mainly because in 1993 fingerwaves and scrunches was the flavor of the year. Some of my classmates and I agreed that Eco Style gel had a very "gummy" consistency, flaked like crazy and weighed the hair down. it also was a bad product to use when doing fingerwaves and gel sets alike because it would "melt" when the client is under the dryer. It's almost like Jam by Soft-Sheen Carson. If a client wants to tame her edges without getting "hard" Eco style is good for that because back then it didn't contain alcohol, which is the base "holding" factor in most hair gel products

[@GetGlamFam]

There is so much win in this comment and I have SO much love for it! Thanks! Yes! Back then, options were limited and it seemed like everyone was using ampro! It’s crazy to me that so few people talk about ampro these days!

[@cali.songbird]

Wow! I didn't know Eco's been around for that long!

[@keishafrazier9897]

It was sold in dollar stores back then

[@edenheeke3009]

What can I do against the flaking after using it?

[@pinky2cats706]

I have high porosity, low density fine hair. The Eco Style Black Castor Flaxseed gel works very well for me. My hair does not do well with wash and goes, but I get beautiful long lasting curls when I wet set my natural hair on rollers..

[@sinndymorr6358]

Can I say 50 thumbs up!!! Of course, any product we use we should be mindful if we feel discomfort, ect ect. I found Shea Moisture products at the end of end of the Shea Moisture Ad Controversy here on the Tube. Tubers were quitting Shea Moisture. I was oblivious to the controversy, at the time, but I LOVE me some Shea Moisture! Saved my hair! Nobody, but nobody, is keeping me away from my Shea Moisture!! I admit, after being personally attacked, for being white and using Shea Moisture, I was careful to admit Shea Moisture is my Love! (I have always felt welcomed and appreciated on this channel, btw) Anyway, people should rely on common sense, fact and personal experience. The only gel I own is Shea Moisture High Porosity Gel. I own it because I like it :). Here is my opinion..my Grandma use to say.."If somebody told you to jump off a bridge, would you??"

Exactly Linwood, school them👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@cynthiacummings0917]

Thanks for the information Lin. I personally don't use it because it doesn't work on MY natural 4C hair. If it did, I would use it. As you've stated, if people are going to cancel out this, they have to cancel out everything with chemicals and go straight naturalistic with everything. Everything includes food, body & haircare, household cleaning products, clothing & shoes, paints, pesticides, lawn care, and the list goes on and on and on. So people, stop trippin. If you like it, use it. If you don't like it, then stop using it. It's not rocket science. ❤️

[@gimli0413]

Thanks so much for this, Linwood. As someone who suffers from alopecia from an auto-immune disease, my issue has been finding products that don’t trigger more hair loss. My skin is clear, my natural nails are long, I am a diabetic so I am very conscious of what I eat. I find that there are products that cause severe itching which is one of the first triggers and it happens with any product - all natural or with additives. Eco was one such product and finding hair gel is very difficult for me. Bri Hall just brought some areas to light and I think the community just ran with it. My search continues for something that works that doesn’t impede my hair regrowth and I look forward to watching all of your videos. Stay blessed.❤️🌹

Interesting enough I'm watching this video for the first time (I've been seeing the thumbnail for the past week or so) one day after watching a video of Trevor Noah's thoughts on people burning their sneakers and such in protest of a certain sport apparel manufacturer's campaign. He essentially made the same point that you did about individuals concentrating on this one product or brand but your continuing to use or buy into brands/companies when you don't know of or choose to ignore what they put in their products or what they stand for/against. You video as well as his are definitely worth watching. #thattimewhenIwatchedaninnocentvideoanditturnedintoalifelesson

[@theshadowknowz5900]

Thanks so much...its always a blessing to hear truths and not just something people want bto hear because of their vanity...Pro-style gels are awesome come in many formulas so you won't get the brown flaking. They are very inexpensive and can found at you local 99¢ Stores and Dollar Tree! Also it's also a harmless protein gel! Mind you I'm only using a very small amount after I moisterize my hair all over, then I use the gel on the edges, on a part, mostly when I'm wearing a lace front! The gel blends with skin tones and holds the edges down "very well" without moving the unit around...yes, even the wind won't make it budge...! At the end of the day (up to a couple of days) just wet your edges with plain water, the gel is loosed, no pulling, no poison chemicals going into your "brain", and you still have your edges! I found an alternative to the poisonous edge glues since they are NOT made to touch your skin at all! They are NOT hypo-alleglic formulas due to contact dermatitis to chemicals and it saved my edges my health and life for over 15 yrs! These wig glues are practically the same to use super glue! Nasty stuff...

[@genisedever8018]

Great info Linwood. I'm not a serious gel user but most of the Eco gels don't work for me. You told me about the Wetline Extreme and that one works great for me.

I've recently had a few friends ask me about this. And I didn't know how to phrase it all I could tell them was its all in the chemistry and composition make up of most products. I told a couple, I wouldn't be too worried about that gel, but more concerned about that shampoo and conditioner you're using. TY this helps me explain it to them. I use to use an Ecostyler gel for curly hair. I liked it, never had an issue with it. But I found a Redken I like more. Turned my waves into bouncy curls.

[@TiaRoseee]

Eco makes my scalp itchy, I’m not really into gels... So it wasn’t a big deal for me to ditch it. I’ll stick with my curling creams 🙃

Hey Lin, thank you for the info. I have never been an admirer of gel in general. If i want my hair to lay down at the time & my sealant products wont do it it wont get laid down . It's too hard for my liking. I know that's the purpose lol but I almost have to wash my hair the next styling to get it out, if not it will break my hair off. Separating that so-called baby hair ("its just hair baby" haha)on some hair breaks off instead of blending that "baby hair" together to grow with the rest of the hair its one of the reasons I've seen loved one edges leave. Sometimes gel isn't needed on the regular for every style. Only from what I've seen personally. Thanks again. GlamFlam member here!

I use the Olive Oil one in the green jar as shown. It is one of the best products I have found that works for me with what I want it to do for everyday. I actually started using it as an alternative to using any of the styling producs from the DevaCurl line as I'm allergic to one of their "natural botanical" ingredients that is in every one of their products across all their lines. I can see why a particular fragrance would cause issues but not fragrance in general. Looking at you honeysuckle and west indian lemongrass...😒

[@GetGlamFam]

Aww man, lemongrass?! That’s one of my favorites! I can understand discontinuing the use of DC though, allergic reactions are no joke! I just wish more people would read the labels to products in general. I feel like some of the “cancel everything” trends would never happen.

GlamFam Burning scalp and migraines. Not fun. Thankfully just discomfort that benadryl and ibuproufin can take care of once I figure out what the problem is until all of it is gone from myself and environment. Part of why I can't work a makeup counter anymore is exposure to ingredients and I always like to counter the Young Living natural products pushers that most allergies and irritants are plants way to get us to stop using them. I'm fun at home sales parties. 😂

The FDA is involved regarding this issue with ECO gel! Many hair companies use ingredients that are not unhealthy: Toothpaste, lipsticks, eyeshadows, household products, her dyes, relaxers, etc.... Many of these ingredients are band in other countries because of the health risk! It's big business! Sad to say!

I'm not ready to give it up. I haven't had any problems

Thank for always giving us such thorough videos! I just used that very same Eco gel today! I use several brands of gel, it depends on the style I want to achieve.

Thanks for the info. I don't use EcoStyler but my daughter does and it works for her so we won't be changing. I'm a 90's kid so I still use that good ole brown gel when I need it.

YES!!!! Stop using this product! Whenever I use this because it takes off my nail polish when I use it. No mater which of their products I use. If it strips the polish off your nails, what must it do to the hair shaft???!!!!!!

[@stacyvyphuis8283]

I totally agree with you.... cause most of the products we use have chemicals in them...
