New! Eco Styler Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Gel

[uofmpanther]

considering how much I hated the EcoStyler clear gel... nope
I still use it on my brows though lol. I don't think any gel is going to top WetLine.

I never thought to use regular gel on my brows. Thanks for this!

They need to stop putting that infernal wheat protein in all their gels!

That wheat protein jacked my hair up! I used that gel daily and it made me have protein overload. It zapped all of the moisture out of my hair. I had to trim so much.

I swear, this was on Amazon when i first saw it on FB about 3 weeks ago. Now its gone! Ugh! My Sally's didn't have it either. Ugh! I want to try it so badly!

Black castor oil and flaxseed oil. The ingredients are the same as the others just with those 2 things different.


Water/Aqua/Eau, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Limus Usitatissimum (Linseed) Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, PVP, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 20, Tetrasodium EDTA, Fragrance (Parfum), D-Limonene, Love and Pride

Does anyone know if any of the ingredients are not so great? TIA.

The biggest one would probably be Triethanolamine.

I noticed! I have mine open as well. I hope you post some hair photos in there. I just love, love, love, your inventory of hair products. That in itself is priceless!

The moco gorilla gels (in Target) are flip top if anyone just needs the jar.

@IslandMummy I was just about to say this gel. I don't use gel a lot, but when I do, it's this one.

I just bought the Coconut one yesterday, I was looking for the flaxseed, as I love Aunt Jackie's flaxseed gel. Of course they didn't have it. I'll have to stalk my beauty supply until they get it! The coconut one has a very different texture than the clear Ecostyler. It feels more like a styler less like a gel if that makes sense. I love it.

Does Aunt Jackie's flaxseed gel actually help your wash-and-go's dry more elongated? What do you like about it? One of these days I know I'll try it, but the mixed reviews have kept me from doing so thus far.

Went looking for this today and couldn't find it

 

[Sharpened]

Canadians, this site has it. They ship to the US, but that shipping price, nah.

Where are ya'll buying this Wetline gel?

Sally has the clear one I think but if you have any international markets in your area they usually have a variety.

Where are ya'll buying this Wetline gel?

I am going to order mine from target.com and have it shipped to the closest store.

So I've used it twice so far. Sorry, no pics this go round lol, but I'll try to capture some as I continue to test out the product.

Pros: It is not a 10 hold like the crystal or olive oil gels. It dries soft for the most part, any "hardness" where I may have used more gel ended up softening within the day after adding oil and scrunching. It dries with a natural look (not wet looking) and I don't find it drying at all and have not experienced any flaking.

Cons: The soft hold doesn't allow my wash n go to last a full week before. By day 3 it seems to loose definition, more in the less textured areas at the crown of my head, and is ready to go up into a puff. I'm still experimenting with what I'm using under it which could impacting the hold and the amount of wear I get out of my wash n go.

Overall I like the natural hold and volume in my wash and go that I get, the fact that it doesn't flake and it's not drying. I did like using it on my edges to slick up into a puff after day 3.

If you are looking for an Eco Style Gel with a softer hold than the other 10 level gels, you should try it. I don't know if there are any long term effects as I've only used it 2 weeks, but so far no drying . Is it worth spending an arm and a leg to try to get your hands on, no. I'd suggest you wait until you can to get it locally or find reasonable online shipping.

Has anyone found this in the DC area?

 

[AnjelLuvs]

So far I havent been able to locate a spot that sells this... on 125th in Harlem thought they would have been had this...

 

[SmilingElephant]

How am I not in the gel brigade?

I literally had to go back to EcoStyler gel. I LOVE EcoStyler, it never fails me! Wetline is my very close second!

I hope I run into this Black Castor EcoStyler gel, bc I want that jar too!

 

[SmilingElephant]

Where are ya'll buying this Wetline gel?

I'm able to find it at

Target
Sally's
Walgreens

I think even certain Family Dollar stores carry it. It's harder for me to find EcoStyler than it is for me to find Wetline So I know with this new gel being hard to find, I'll have to wait for it to be widely available!

 

[Nickcole]

Where are ya'll buying this Wetline gel?

I buy at Walmart. A large jar is only 2.97.

 

[GeorginaSparks]

wetline is at target

I've been to about 6 BSS in Maryland and no dice. I finally just ordered some.

So I had a major fail this week with this product!

I decided to try with a liquid/water based leave in since when I used the creamier leave ins it didn't seem to get much wear from my wash n go.

FLAKE CITY!!! Especially after I worked out last night...the bad thing is that I didn't notice it until about midnight when I took my hair down from being up for the gym to go to bed. It was too late to do anything about it, so I had to cowash this morning and slick my hair back in a low bun for the day. My Director is also a natural and we talk hair an product swap all the time, I also gave her this gel. She said that she saw people recommend using products with black castor oil like the Shea Moisuture Black Castor oil leave-in as well as pure black castor oil under it which she did. Her hair looks great and not a flake to be seen.

I'm a little traumatized, because I was walking around all day with flakes without realizing it lol. Not sure how much more experimenting I'll do with it. It just may not be that great for my hair, but I have seen great results in person (my Director) as well as online. It's worth trying out, especially if you find it locally since it's so cheap.

I'll let you guys know if I try it again with my bosses recommendations.

My issue with ecostyler has always been flaking, so I'm going to wait until I see it in front of me in the store.

Still on the hunt but I found the coconut this past weekend & have used it 2X so far. It's ok it reminds me of pink Eco in that it my end result is a fluffy wash n go. It is a level 10 but doesn't seem to weigh my hair down (the way I like it) like the Olive or the Argan oil versions. I was reluctant to try the coconut based on many you tube reviews . But I have learned that your Eco result is dependent on your leave in. Aunt Jackie's Quench has worked with all my Eco gels.

 

[crlsweetie912]

Where are ya'll buying this Wetline gel?

I have seen it recently in dollar tree here in Maryland.

Avoid that one. People in the Wetline thread said it is not the same thing.

 

[uofmpanther]

My beauty supply said they ordered the castor oil one with their regular Eco Styler stock, and it didn't arrive. I'm going to check back later because they planned to order from some place else.

 

[discodumpling]

Found: Eco Black Castor & Flaxseed Gel. Finally in stock all over my neighborhood. Glad to see they didn't jack the price up due to outrageous demand on our part!
I copped 2 16oz jars for $2.99 ea. I'm dying to try it out but i've got too much on my plate today (Sunday dinner ain't even been prepped!) so it will have to wait. I'll be back with my review.
