When you said, “ I buy things because I got a problem”, I felt that!

[@towandawoodson5825]

Girl I feel the same way!!!

[@HealyMeans]

My 4 bookshelves of hair products would agree with that...😂🤣 but you know I'm 'gon use *every* jar, bottle, tube and packet! 😏👍🏼🙂

Ice curls is my holy grail. My hair lasts a straight 7 days. The tackiness and white cast is likely due to your leave-in.

[@nightjade08]

What leave-in do you recommend? I'm trying to figure out what works with this gel because I love it and want it to work.

[@praiseosas2016]

nightjade08 Could you maybe try the leave in from the line? You’d think that would work.

[@lboogie2679]

nightjade08 I used eden bodyworks curling cream. Hair has to be soaking and a quarter size amount for a whole quadrant. Take the cream and emulsify it in your hand then spread. You want it to my in.

So I don’t use a leave in?

[@y.carson1982]

I have been using ice curls for a month and I HIGHLY recommend it. Hair isnt hard and has movement. I stood in the beauty supply holding it in my hand like....do I get this or nah,,,...it was the best investment I made! 💜😊🙏🏽

Ice Curls is winning for me, they should've switched the names around on the jars!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@Erica_Love_Love]

I love how the don't shrink gel works on my twists. After I wash and deep condition my hair, I put on my leave in condition spray, coconut oil, then use the gel for my twists. The outcome is juicy looking thick twists. Love it.

[@amayarudd8865]

Do you need to wash the gel out 2 or 3 days later or can you leave it in until the next wash day

Britti-Bae Life Vlogz alright thank you, I’m trying to stop using eco 😂

[@aliciaf3176]

THAAAAANK YOUUUUUUU so much for this video!! Aunt Jackie's is definitely the best of both worlds, great products that don't break the bank. I've tried the Don't Shrink and the Curl Boss the past few months, and just bought the Ice Curls yesterday. ICE, ICE, BABYYY!! Love the Ice Curls so much, the others are great too but Ice Curls is my favorite. Huge amount of definition, and since I air dry the volume comes in like crazy the second day.

[@creativequeen8371]

Thanks for that. I'm finally convinced to try the Ice Curls.

[@nosimphiwembenge9376]

I love the way you read and speak. I can listen to you all day. I came for the content and stayed for the creator.

[@preciouskelley1226]

You got me at “I buy things all the time because I have a problem” 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 I can relate.!!

[@Tessitura9]

Was literally on my way to the beauty store to get a new gel (eco styler isn't doing it for me anymore). Thanks!

[@malainas1625]

Also try Xtreme wetline girl curls popppppiington okay

[@asideofaioli4630]

Yeah eco dries tf out of my hair. Feels like hay the next day. If I remember correctly, protein is pretty high on the list. And I was using it a couple times every wk! Wayyyy too much protein for me. I switched to wetline, and kinkycurly. Eco is a forever "nope" for me.

[@BIBLELADY-]

My go to gel for years has been Luster's Gel 'N by pink luster

[@kimmcfadden4679]

I know I prefer Aunt Jackie's styler. Ecco Styler is too strong, too drying & too heavy for my hair. I don't know if the fact that my hair is medium fine and low porosity so I don't know if that makes a difference...

[@SheReaDelSol]

Ice curls winssss. HANDS DOWNNNNNNNNNNN. I also hate the original gel so....

[@SheReaDelSol]

And we want a mixed up wash day. That's real life

[@TressesOfAlexis]

Thanks mom 🤣 I need to stop buying things so y’all was getting it EITHER WAY 😭😭

how were they ?

[@ReeRee_Donita]

Flaxseed does actually make hair thicker overtime so I’m not surprised about it appearing to have volume

[@bottlesofchris]

BOFFUM! I would go for Don’t Shrink though. I like volume more than anything. Ice Curls is definedT! I wanna try both!

Thank you for doing this! I’ve wanted to try Aunt Jackie’s for a while. It’s the ice curls side for me. I just did my 2nd big chop, so looking for new products. I will be subscribing to your channel.

[@curlyygod8588]

personally i like the icy curls side better only cause i go for more definition than anything, and if it’s heavier than the don’t shrink gel then imma end up trying it.

[@TressesOfAlexis]

Yesssss. I liked it more too. It’ll get bigger over the days. If you try it, let me know how you like it!!! Thanks for watching 💙

Great video!! I like more length with my curls so I’m def gonna purchase the ice gel!! Thank you so much!! 💗💗💗❤️❤️❤️

[@alysiahenderson266]

So the ice curls elongated your curls and the no shrink shrunk your curls. I’m not surprised about the Aunt Jackie’s don’t shrink product. I used that with my hair was naturally curly like yours and it pretty much did nothing. I had never heard of the ice curls however. Shea Moisture and Taliah Wajid were the only 2 products that worked for my curly mane.

[@melissaisma6265]

Yessss I love the flaxseed gel. The longest product i ever use that it's about done. Love how my twist outs look. ❤ I will try the ice curls next amd see.

I often find it kind of hard to find the ice curl one a lot of the stores he don't have it. Not the 5 supply stores or Target or Walmartthat are near me. And this quarantine shut down isn't helping. I afraid I may have to cut all. Y hair off because of it. Natural hair care products are annoyingly expensive a d certain one are harder to find in my area of the stl

[@HealyMeans]

Great results! 🙂👍🏼😊 I prefer the flaxseed side. Been peeping that gel (I have the deep condish), but gotta buy the "quad" before using it - cleanser, deep/condish, moisturizer, styler. If the ice gel is anything like TMC crystal orchid, I gotta pass. Not sure exactly what it is, but after using the entire jar, multiple different ways, I'm just not a fan.

[@avalimpa]

I wish they would bring the Proud Lady symbol back. Aunt Jackie's products are not black owned. . " Although we're not Black-owned, we celebrate Black girl magic,” their Instagram post read. Translation: Although we're not Black-owned, we celebrate the MAGIC OF BLACK DOLLARS flowing into our pockets,” It's interesting the way they attract black female buyers with the condescending term 'Aunt". as in Aunt Jemima, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Ben vs Mrs. Fields, Chef Boyardee etc. I don't care what the review says. They won't get my black money.

[@chyname]

It flaked on my hair too, but the gel is amazing just wish it had more hold

[@RationallyMe]

The best product for edges is plain ole beeswax. It is inexpensive, more natural than any edge product, is heavy enough to slick hair even when placed atop product, doesn't flake, and I simply wet my edges every night to dilute it; then use again the next day.
