Eco Styler Series | Olive Oil Gel

Eco Styler is a staple in the unofficial natural hair starter kit. I myself purchased it when I was a new natural. I used it to slick back buns and freeze fros. I wasn't aware that I had hair that could be defined so I never tried it out in that capacity. Now that I'm deeper in my hair journey, I'm trying some of the most popular Eco gels starting with the Olive Oil!

Price: 

The price for this product varies as much as it's availability. Pick it up for less than $3 at just about any beauty supply, drugstore, grocery store, or big box store. Even in the countriest of country, you can find and purchase this inexpensive gel.

Ingredients: 

It's not natural if that's what you're looking for. The top 5 ingredients have been highlighted as they are the most present in the product.

Water (Aqua), Carbomer, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Glycerin, Amino-2-Methyl-1-Propanol, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Polysorbate 20, Tetrasodium EDTA, Olive Oil, Fragrance (Parfum), CI 19140 Yellow 5 - Love and Pride.

Smell:

The scent is very masculine. It blends right in with the manly scent of my current leave-in conditioner. I will say that it is not as strong of a scent as some of the other Eco gels I'll be bringing in this series and it dissipates as it dries.

Experience:

This gel went on my hair a lot smoother than I remember eco styler going. I was even able to style my hair in the larger sections I sometimes get away with and it glided through very nicely. My ends were in shock and did not curl up like they do with my usual gel. I sat under the drier with my hair plopped into a scarf to fix this situation.

Though this gel seems to readily rinse on wash day, I do feel as though it leaves a coating on my hair. It isn't a gel-like coating but it does feel like something is still on my hair after I shampoo. My hair lasts right up to the mid-week mark with this gel and not a day more!
