I don't use the product in the video. Just how ties her hair up at night is how I style my hair for bed. . I do know Eco came out with the cocktail after bloggers/customers mentioned cocktailing their eco styler with other products. The reviews were never good so I never tried it.
I love eco gel but the cocktails is a no go. Today is my first attempt at two day hair. I'm excited

I was in the mood for a fluffier wash n go that wouldn't take a lot of time, so I did and oldie but goodie combo today. I used Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion and Camille Rose Curl Maker Gel.

This combo gave me great first day hair. It was soft and just the right amount of fluffy. Day 2 was meh and, by the end of day two, I knew it wouldn't last any longer. I also got a lot of flakes at the end of day 2. They didn't show up in my hair, but they showed up on my black shirt. My shoulders were covered in flakes because flakes fell every time I moved my hair. I don't remember having this happen before, so maybe I can't use this leave-in with Curl Maker.

I did a cowash, DC, and C.L.O.G.:

Cowash: NaturelleGrow
DC: SM Coconut Fusion masque
Conditioner: DevaCurl Decadence One Condition (left most of it in)
Leave-in: Oyin Hair Dew
Oil: Jojoba
Gel: Camille Rose Naturals Curl Maker

I am going for multi-day hair this time. I used LOTS and LOTS of Curl Maker. A little too much. :laugh: No flaking, but about 5 little, tiny globs congealed in random places. Looks nice, feels great.

At the high porosity hangout thread, a poster mentioned successfully using Sprangz to elongate her hair. I almost forgot I have them! I asked her for tips: My first attempt with them months and months ago was not successful.

@YvetteWithJoy I'm gonna get that curlmaker today. The peer pressure is too much for me to handle lol. Honestly, I have been very pleased with eco gel and its cheap. Do you guys not like this? I own so many hair products. I get my best results with eco and cheap old vo5 lol

Lol! I haven't tried Eco styler gel yet. I think the ingredient list bothered me. I run my ingredients by the ingredients list at tightlycurly and that ew.org (I'm butchering both, I think).

Ecostlyer just leave me with a lot of buildup after 1 day. That's why I don't use it. If it works for you, why change?

Girl I have a serious problem with buying hair products. I need help lol. Ok, actually im gonna stick to the cheap stuff for now ( I think ). Its working. I'm on day three. I did slightly add a bit of water and eco to a few sections. Other than that hair is still looking right for cheap.

I read good things about that CRN Curlmaker on here and the shopper in me wants to try it but it isn't cheap and I'm also in a 'if it ain't broke' situation with KCCC so I'm not going to go there. As for this wetline... now this is cheap:look: so it couldn't hurt too bad to try it at least just one time to see...

I made a trip today to get some but they were sold out:cry3:. Guess I'll just have wait for some stock:dinnertime:

This wet line gel along with shea moisture raw shea detangler is the bomb in my hair. my hair is so soft and supple ever since i broke the cast like @whiteoleander91 told me upthread. it just feels so moisturized without oiliness or residue. Never has my way felt like this with gel. Here is third day hair.

I recently watched a Curl Maker gel wash n go youtube video by Elle (formerly denimpixie) that may explain why I got flakes this last time. According to her, if you don't rub in some gels well enough, that is when you get flakes. I wonder if this is what happened to me. Next time I do my wash n go, I'm going to try to pay attention to how much gel I leave on the surface of my hair.

Here is the video:

I get flakes with this gel too. Maybe I'll try rubbing the gel in; like it was suggested.

Today I did a quick wash and go:
1. Cleanse with DevaCurl Decadence No Poo.
2. Moisturize with Oyin Hair Dew (leave-in).
3. Seal with jojoba oil.

I noticed lack of definition at the roots, so I went back and tried to add DevaCurl Decadence One Condition to my roots. This product is so interesting! It actually curls/defines my hair! I need to figure out why!

And . . . my pass-purchased products just arrived. :headspin:

I am actually excited about next wash day. :happydance:
Two of the three products smell divine!

Plan: Cleanse, DC, and C.L.O.G.:

1. Cleanse: ORS Creamy Aloe or Naturalicious clay wash (to remove old product)
2. DC: Sitrinillah Deep Conditioner
3. Conditioner: DevaCurl Decadence One Condition (rinse out slightly, leaving some in)
4. Leave-in: Bekura Honey Latte Detangling Hair Milk
5. Sealant: jojoba oil
6. Styler: Blue Roze Beauty Marshmallow Cream Gel (love that it's creamy) OR DevaCurl gel

Currently on day 6 of wash n go. It looked a bit frizzy to me at this point so I put a little bit of mousse on the top of my hair and a few pieces here and there similar to jewe jewe bee refreshing method

I'm on day 10. I refreshed my hair on Wednesday night, I think. My problem is that I'm loving the fullness and not washing enough. Been feeling a few tangles over the past couple of days so I'm going to wash and comb through my hair tomorrow.

What combo did you use?

@Napp When I washed? I don't use leave in, so it's just oil rinse (using grapeseed on length, sunflower and jojoba on ends), followed by diluted KCCC.

When I refreshed, I just did a head massage, before wetting with the shower head and then adding more gel.

Wash day process
:
1. Co-Wash/Leave-In: Tresemmè Botanique
2. Styler: Eco styler gel argan oil

------
Results:
The tresemmè botanique is my hairs new best friend, she has found her match. I use it as a 3-in-1 (cowash, deep conditiiner, leave in). It does it all and leaves my hair like butter. It also plays well with my other products which is always a plus.

-----
Final thoughts:
I absolutely love this combination. I was in and out of the shower in no time.
  • Pro: ZERO flaking with my stylers
  • Pro: easy finger detangling (lots of slip!)
  • Pro: left my hair defined and improved elasticity
  • Pro: decreased shedding/breakage
  • Con: none
-----
Random Hair Thoughts:
eco styler doesn't keep my hair feeling silky soft it dries kind of stiff.. It's not a con of the styling combination more-so a con of the product itself. That's why I prefer the Camille rose natural.. I just purchased kinky curly curling custard. Going to give that a go next wash.
