Could aloe Vera juice substitute for some of the water and what about using flaxseed gel as a base? What about other feed base gels. Can they be added? Could you do some experimenting? I’m going to check out your website and buy all of the ingredients.

This is highly appreciated! Most of us cannot find original products so this helps. Would you please recreate Shine n Jam Braiding Gel?

[@darkmoonesscentuals]

Elise, instead of TEA could we usea Sodium Hydroxide/Distilled Water mixture?

[@WholeElise]

Absolutely, any alkaline ph adjuster will work 😊

[@mrsp5808]

how do you get your hair smooth and curly..I've seen this in a lot of your videos and it looks so good. I know you don't do tutorial but is this rollers or blown out the rollers bantu knots...sorry I am all over the place..love your videos..very helpful

[@raquelhenfield3433]

I would like to see you create an edge control. Love your videos.

[@LillyPotter16]

This was amazing! I love all of your formulation videos, they're so helpful. I just got into making my own products for personal use and I come back to your videos all the time. Also the calculator on your website is genius. I'm hoping to get a bit of help. Could you make a protein treatment? I've seen a couple but they all involve avocados, mayo, and eggs 😭. I would be ever so grateful. Keep up the great work! By the way, my name is Elyse too, only with a y instead of an i.

[@WLHMCALLNATURAL]

Wow girl you know what you are doing , this is amazing 😳🤭

[@gloriasalazar8954]

greetings from the heart I am amazed with each of your formulas

[@my-yoshi2460]

Thank you for this recipe. Have you ever made a gel like Shine and Jam or a Murray's Edge wax type? I have used your edge control recipe when braiding and twisting, but I keep tryng to make something that has more hold but locks in moisture and provides shine like shine and jam for long term protective styles and to also keep hair "tame" the hair under protective styles. Any suggestions on how to add something to your edge control recipe?

[@JkrJolt]

Happy New Year my lovely Elise. May you have health, love and prosperity. 🤗💕 May I ask if I can add some mica colour to this wonderful hair gel to give a little boost to my hair colour? And if yes, how can I incorporate the mica dust appropriately to the mixture? Thank you so much 🥰.

[@SkinNourishJourney]

love it! please make a video where you recreate the Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam

[@mostneeded6762]

Can you please make a leave in condithioner that we apply to curly hair before the gel? Speacially if it resembled Shea Moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in condithioner.

[@shadevrutaal]

Nicee can you try making kinky curly curling custard?

[@courtneyderouen]

Yes please!

[@miriyacheri]

So could you possibly raise the ph with baking soda solution to try to activate it in a “more natural way”? If it’s only about the ph rising that causes it to thicken?

[@chimenenzegang1710]

Thanks you wholescience

[@WholeElise]

Lmao 💚

[@seniorvargas5640]

loved this video, but are you sure that Ecogel PH is Alkaline (around 8 or 9 ) ? I don't understand, because Ive been using for years, and mainly because it helps to close my hair cuticules beautifully.

[@jadaciti]

You are amazing!! I can not wait for the toner tutorial!!!!!!

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! 💚

[@victoriaolaleye1689]

I just saw your video come up on my KZbin feed and I just had to stop by and say your hair is beautiful 🔥

[@fabiolabigham6938]

Buenos dias donde consigues el PVP? O como se pedira yo compre uno y me hizo el gel aguado me lo hecho a perder gracias

[@T.T200]

This is insane, I've tried making my own gel last friday and didn't really like the end result... And now you come out with this?! Thanks ❤️❤️ If I'd ad pvp and for example guar gum to flaxseed gel, would that mean it gives a better hold? I want to make a natural based gel but with an insane amount of hold! I'm also curious how you know how much to use. I really want to replicate the uncle funkies curl magic gel!

[@T.T200]

@cactaceae123 Maybe you'll end up with something better! I'm going to try and keep experimenting... I just hope I'll find something one day which will keep my hair in tact, it's just so frustrating.

[@creatervision]

@@T.T200 how did it all work out for you? Hope it went well!

[@krysalex8130]

Ohhh wow🥰🥰. Oh so the pvp gives the bubble effect. Is there natural substitute that can still give that effect?

[@Cr3013Pr1nc355]

You are so awesome! I love your content! 😊

[@glorialauracardenasonate5338]

Hello greetings from Mexico. Two questions, with what other ingredient can I replace the PVP? Can I use this gel as a shaving gel?, thanks and regards

[@roopashree9217]

Which is better at providing defined and strong hold ? This or the one formulated using xanthan gum clear?

[@AlteaHairScience]

So this just stays at a very alkaline pH? Isn't it bad for the hair?

[@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237]

thats what id like to know as well

[@WholeElise]

Please see the full article for information on how to balance the pH of the final hair gel: wholeelise.com/blog/diy-eco-styler-gel/ 😊

[@laurynsbangle]

​@@WholeElise would adding an acid to readjust back down dissolve or reverse the gel since it needs an alkaline condition to be created?

[@r.mrichmond9493]

Can you make shine and jam (not let's jam) or sta-sof- fro spray please

[@AthenaPadilla]

I've made very similar gels before but don't get the gooey quality. The only thing I've changed from your recipe is using a different pH adjuster such as l-Argenine or Baking soda, substituting the PVP for honey and sugar to create hold, and opting for oils instead of glycerin. Carbomer gel by itself doesn't provide a gooey consistency so what would you say makes yours so gooey?

[@uberhaute_naturalz84]

You have completely changed the formula. She already explained what makes it gooey in the video. I advise you to watch the whole video again

[@zoolasamha1100]

Can i use good hydrosols instead of water

[@WholeElise]

Absolutely!

[@blueberryhill6948]

Hi Elise I have a question relating to the home made perfume. So my perfume is currently in its 2 week process and I’m following the whole month wait before I use it. I wanted to ask if I use a carrier oil will still be able to spray the perfume ?

[@Giventime2daCurls]

What’s the shelf life of this homemade eco styler ? And If I want to make it more of a liquidy textured gel would I add less pvp or carbomer

[@rosinahorn2784]

I Love Gel ❤so Thank how do I find the ingredients

[@erikacristinaescobarrengif3393]

Hello there!!!! Thanks for the formula, the truth is, I congratulate you, I am from Colombia and they have helped me a rest. but I have a doubt what type of PVP you use because here I find PVP K30, PVP k90 and others so I don't know which one to choose

[@keonashorter9714]

Can you add oil? If so, what oils would be okay and won't change the ph value?

[@joshuetortega3572]

im wondering if you can use fruit pectin instead of the carbomer ?

[@Yardenisrael]

Im trying to make my own gel because I can’t use products with pork (glycerin)

[@lesegorabothata9219]

Hi Elise, I absolutely love love love your tutorials. They make me get out of my bed and do something for real. Hahaha. Anyway, a little question, do you use PVP with molecular weight K90 or K30? Thank you so much! Wishing you the best of everything.

[@kiandramays6186]

What’s the link to the containers, beakers, and the glass dishes you use? Couldn’t find it on your website.

What’s a good place to buy the ingredients from?

[@niqmonaie]

Could we change the water for like aloe juice?

[@v.l.saundaryalakshmikanth2565]

How to include olive oil to this recipe?

[@heidicroucher]

I'm pretty sure that is what the polysorbate 20 was for (to help the Olive oil mix with the water base) in the ECO Gel. But Elise chose to leave the olive oil out of her DIY Gel, I assume, to avoid needing to use the polysorbate.

Hello! Omg love your vids! can't wait to start DIY skin care from home. Was wondering where you got your clear glass plates you put ingredients on. They're so pretty Thank you!

[@CTS55555]

In the 10 years I have been buying the 32 ounce size eco styler gel, the price was $4 back in 2013, then only gradually increased to $5 bucks in change at a very slow rate. All of a sudden over night, the price rapid inflated to $9.99 for the 32 ounce!

[@Sagittarius612]

I hope you can make a tutorial about Aloe Vera Gel with Carbomer. I can't do it. I can't adjust PH 5.5 with Carbomer. I have add a few drop acid citric liquid into my gel and it become liquidfied :(

[@jamieA19]

Do we have to add the dry ingredients to the water or can we add the water to the natural ingredients?

[@patriciagiramia8053]

This is good. Can you show is next time how to make tour protein I really need that for my hair

[@BeverlyPierreAccius]

Thank you! But this alcalin gel won't damage your hair?

[@heidicroucher]

But you could always try adding citric or lactic acid at the final step to adjust the PH. I havent worked with this specific formulation so I can't speak to weather or not it can hold its structure with an acidic PH, but I would assume it is fine. The article Elise wrote to go with this video also states that you can add these things in if you choose to. But be careful, a little goes a long way.

[@BeverlyPierreAccius]

@@heidicroucher As our hair is acidic, every product (specially the styling products) we put in it should be in the same range. The shampoo could be a exception.

[@sumayahparis9666]

Do you think we could put color in this like micas? Also how long would the gel last?

[@StephanySaa]

Can I hibiscus infused water instead of distilled water?

[@gorgeousdeej]

Is it thick able to slick the edges? Now ecostyle gel doesn't hold my edges at all. if i buy all these ingredients which one should i add more of so that i am able to slick my hair properly?

[@egyptf4009]

Can both gels be used in your hair at the same time? Aka do they mix well or will they clump?

[@fireA64]

Hey Elise! Is there any way you cloud do a recipe for a salicylic acid exfoliant?
