*NEW* ECO STYLER BLACK CASTOR & FLAXSEED VS AUNT JACKIE'S 'DON'T SHRINK' ELONGATING CURLING GEL

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Which other gels or curl defining products would you like me to try next? Comment below and let me know!

[@TheJayboogie67]

The Curly Closet Hi Mary! This is Jackie from NATURALLY U on Facebook! I have an ECO product for you to try! The PINK ECO STYLER GEL FOR CURLY AND WAVY HAIR! It's number 8 on the hold scale and the definition on the hair is wonderful ! Please, try it ❤️💋

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Just a quick update: the Aunt Jackie's side of my hair feels softer than the Eco side, and the curls are more stretched. But even though both sides have more definition, the Eco side curls are holding their definition much better.

[@erwillow2095]

Hi Mary! Please try the Miele Organics or T.G.I.N. styling gels.

[@anneshamcdowald]

Hi love your videos!! Can you try the Eco Cocktail and another Aunt Jackie's product. What are good leave in conditioners?

[@erincarr6029]

I will be buying Aunt Jackie's!

[@DiscoveringNatural]

I always get my best WnG using Aunt Jackie's gel.I am still on the hunt for the Eco Styler

[@LoveNaisa]

Aunt Jackie’s is the best gel I ever used in my hair, it’s funny because I try to stay away from it since the ingredients aren’t so pure. Idk

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Dilemma!

[@angelamuhindi6880]

Beautiful voice. ..so relaxing. ..sending you love from Kenya.

[@YonkelCPrints]

i love curl souffle as well one of my staples. the aunt Jackie definitely hanged longer

[@faysam60]

Great video as usual. I've heard a lot about the Mane Choice products. Maybe you could try that system at some point. Blessings x

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I knowwww!!!! I keep thinking about it, thanks for the suggestion!

[@kamailaheron8771]

I found the eco style had my hair feeling very dry after the second / third day. I have to try the aunt Jackies.

[@deetaj2]

That's what mine did. The second day the back was dry and puffy but the front was still curly.

[@darenesoblessfleming8619]

love this!! life changing..To God be the Glory...it helps!

[@laduchessewatts8449]

Great vid Mary. Lovely to see a fellow Brit promoting alongside the US youtubers. If not just to be able to actually find the products easily and sometimes to understand some of the language used! Anyhow it's all good...wherever your from!!😉

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks so much for the support! x

[@maxidorline2862]

I really love your videos. they help me a lot with my natural hair. Thank you so much.

[@trishellchase4920]

Great results from both thanks for the info, u are glowing as usual girl💓

[@BrookeaCookea]

It's pretty cool that the Aunt Jackie's actually did kind of shrink less than the eco styler. Which is what the gel claimed it was gonna do.

[@LovesofJBNeet]

What a PHENOMENAL review and your curls are gorgeous!!!! I needed to see the results of both. I am newly natural and just discovered that I have curly hair so I was looking for a wash and go gel! I'm so excited, I'm going to The 24 hour CVS now @ 3:29 a.m tfs I definitely subbed

[@Cassaundra1000]

your hair is everythingggggg

[@Akkesama]

i think "elongating" is definitely a gimmick..it's not actually making your hair longer, which is what the terminology implies-- it's just not "shrinking" it as much as other gels. it's all about your hair's actual curl habits.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

+Akkesama I see your point but I'm pretty sure the term is about elongation of curls. Elongating=stretching. I never read the word "elongating" to mean anything about hair getting longer - otherwise it would just say something about hair growth. Either way though, it does live up to the elongating claim for me.

[@BrookeaCookea]

Duh. Lmao.

Hey, good work

[@HeavyontheChai]

Eco cost 2.99 appears more product vs. Aunt Jackie's 7.99 less product. I purchased both and anxious to see how my hair responds.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

No anxiety! It's just hair! I hope you find one that works well for you :)

[@mstcherie13]

Beautiful. Curls are popping girl! :)

[@TheJmommyandus]

Beautiful as usual. I just tried the eco and love it. What types of oil do you use on your hair?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I don't use any oils specifically, just products that contain oils, if that makes sense.

[@ItsDejasWorld]

Thank you for tagging my video!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You're welcome! 💖

[@soupafleye]

i currently layer with aunt jackie’s first and then the olive oil eco because aunt jackie’s alone doesn’t seal it in enough for me but the eco by itself is not conditioning enough. i wanna try a huge tub of natural flaxseed but no one seems to make and sell em in huge tubs :/

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You might be right, the only large amounts I've seen are the ones that people make for themselves eg Naptural85 and others.

[@ThEEnlightenFemme]

Your hair is gorgeous. Great comparison. tfs

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thank you! x

[@mechellepurifoy8412]

Compare UncleFunkyDaughter Curly Magic and Mane Choice Gel

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks, will check them out! x

[@Begrateful7]

This is such an awesome vid Mary very detailed and informative love it! Ps have you even used the Nyxon gel? I have and well .... say no more I would love you to do a review on that one!

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks, I'll look out for it! x

[@yayakanda1968]

Thanks for the comparison

[@shondale71]

Nice results from both

[@GemmaLondonn]

Beautiful😃😍good video x

[@Thelittlecutiepeach]

Beautiful! Want to try both of these on my daughter's hair. So did either of them flake? The results are both beautiful!! TFS

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Hello there - sorry for the late reply! They didn't but just be careful not to use too much and also use a compatible leave-in - because some leave-ins don't go well with some gels :)

[@Thelittlecutiepeach]

@@Life.Love.Locs. thanks. We ened up gettting the aunt jackies. Loved the results & no flakes!!

[@JoyDejaKing]

Wow your hair looks gorgeous!!

[@tammyjohnson7341]

Can you do a comparison on freshly washed hair?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

+Tammy Johnson I'd love to but I have so many more products to try currently! To be honest, the result wouldn't be much different on freshly washed hair, my hair didn't have a lot of build up on it so the results here are pretty much the same

[@tammyjohnson7341]

Thanks for responding. Your hair looks great.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thank you! x

[@hannahmoore771]

I love your videos and your hair. I've been watching you so 've your hair was much shorter and have found your product knowledge and hair tips helpful. on future products to try....there is a gel cream by ecoco called eco pro styling cream, in particular the yellow one. I like this one but it would be interesting to see what you think. Also miss jessies coily custard. thank you

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thanks for the suggestions! x

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Not sure if i can get Miss Jessie's in the UK but I will check it out.

[@hannahmoore771]

Thanks for responding to my comments. I am also in the UK which is why I like following your channel. It helps me be aware of what products are available for me.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

You're welcome! Thankfully more products are becoming available over here, which is nice! But also, we have some of our own great brands with excellent products here.

[@babyangy7026]

Can i use my oil while putting the aunt Jackie's gel???

[@brieyanna_khalani5107]

Michel Angy if it’s a sealing oil you should use it after applying the aunt Jackie’s gel. But yes it works well with oils, at least it does for me.

[@babyangy7026]

@@brieyanna_khalani5107 thank you😚☺

[@chauniquemartinez]

I like them both !!!

[@nancymnzava9281]

does antie jack works on relaxed hair...if yes how??

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Hi Nancy, it only works to define your hair's natural curl pattern, so if your hair has a curl or wave naturally it will define it, if your hair doesn't then it won't do anything specifically. I hope that this helps you.

[@kendraspencer3925]

your hair is beautiful

[@zoeodunlami9795]

Love this video. Your hair is beautiful !! I've heard a lot about the Cantu Shine and Define Custard so I'd like to see how it works on your hair xx

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Stay tuned, you may well see it on my channel soon! x

[@Darkskinbeauty64]

aunt Jackie can you buy here America?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Yes, it's a US based company :)

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

They should be available at beauty supply stores but if not, I've left a link to where you can buy online from Amazon (affiliate link). x

[@mrsintriguing]

Macsha Alberson yes! they have whole line at most beauty supply stores except Sally's 🙄

[@Geena114]

They also have those products at Family Dollar stores and I think that I saw them at Walgreens as well.

[@IAmBrandi1525]

First let me say i love your video's ! I'm wondering where you're from or where your accent comes from. I'm thinking you must be English. Every time I hear your intro, I can't help but think of the movie Silence of The Lambs. Hello Clarice.....LOL !

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

LOL.... that's FUNNY - so I remind you of Hannibal Lecter???????? Yes, I'm from London!

[@shontapl]

Lol

[@leslieasaiah-asher]

Hi Mary, you mentioned that you only wear curl defining styles about twice a year. Please which are your 'go to' regular hair styles? (Please ignore the profile pic, am using hubbys account!😊).

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Not a problem! Here are some videos: Overnight "wash and go" www.youtube.com/watch?o=U&video_id=4HTICJatZD0 Curly Fro: www.youtube.com/watch?o=U&video_id=z5UoCtNPAk0 Ultra High Puff: kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=GMdMin6XA0A

[@tiaedwards3587]

your hair is beautiful and it has grown long

[@divvagrace2078]

Have you every tried gel curly activator to define natural curls?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Do you mean Curl Activator? No, I used it when my hair was texturised but never on my natural hair. Maybe one day!

[@tiffanysilvera6691]

Aunt Jackie coconut gel

[@kittykatkattitude9777]

I luv the eco styler flax seed gel

[@funkychild2294]

so beautiful!

[@claudettesmith1551]

What is the point of testing products when your using a base product.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Gel is a styling product. It is not designed to be used on naked hair, that leads to breakage. It is meant to be used with a leave-in conditioner. That is why people complain that gel makes their hair dry and hard and then say that their hair broke... because it's being used in the wrong way.

[@emilyphillips6707]

very good video

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Thank you! x

[@Darkskinbeauty64]

thanks

[@xandrafrancois]

Maybe because your hair was a bit dry, it was more difficult to take your fingers through the aunt Jackie's side.

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

I tend to add water to my hair when it starts to get dry so I don't think that was it. It just has a different consistency.

[@thelifeofjonnelleohtv3168]

I cant tell that the girls are longer.

[@eybaps9177]

I noticed both the Aunt Jackie's gel and Eco styler flaxseed oil gel elongated your curls. Do you air dry?

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Yes, I always air dry. :)

[@madleymeide5185]

so when you do your curls have you ever dry them with a dryer ??

[@Life.Love.Locs.]

Rarely, I think I've done it only once since I went natural. I usually air dry.

[@angelthompson7634]

Beautiful

[@madleymeide5185]

Ok cool thanks

[@eji1829]

ur hair texture reminds me so much of mine ! i love this product esp for shine ! if your interested check out how i use this gel with a twist \ braid out on my 4b\4c =]
