Cherry Lola Treatment and Ecostyler gel (Pic heavy to the nth power!)

[Ediese]

I decided to try out the cherry lola treatment this weekend. It's supposed to help you reduce frizz and define curls. The only difference in my hair though was that it felt really heavy after the treatment. I didn't really notice a significant decrease in frizz though. So, I added the clear ecostyler gel. That worked great without flaking, but my hair was a little crunchy. I did add scurl moisturizer before I used it. The next morning my curls were all flat, so I had to pin it up in a frenchroll.

Ingredients for cherry lola treatment


This is 3hrs after I let it sit..about to wash out


Don't really see a difference


Freshly washed no moisturizer -- don't really see a big difference idk

The gel worked great without flaking, but my hair was a little crunchy. I did add scurl moisturizer before I used it. I slept with my satin bonnet on, but the next morning my curls were all flat, so I had to pin it up in a frenchroll. I don’t think I’ll do this again. The curls were cute and all, but it made me look like a kid. I think when my hair grows longer I might try it again. Idk





After it dried..lol





























Next morning – raggity Anne

I love it....your hair is beautiful.....I'm looking forward to doing that to my hair!!!! Did you Shingle with the ecostyler, also, is there a difference with ecostlyler and fantasia IC gel????

Op what Ecostyler gel do you use.

 

[CleverGypsy]

very pretty! Even though I bought olive oil ecostyler gel I'm scared to use it. Gel always drys my hair out. Not sure what to do other than use a leave in before the gel.

While your hair is wet with the gel in it you should try shaking your hair/head around. Side to side up and down. It kinda gets some excess product off but it also adds volume. I seen this lady do it on youtube with KCCC but and it works. I have also done it with Ecostyler too.

Very nice BTW.

Thanks, I'd been looking for more pictures of people who had tried this

The style is beautiful and graceful even though the curls were flat... I think I like flatter curls for updos now

Thank you! I did the curly primer method. I didn't really find a big difference with both gels. My hair is still crunchy. lol I was so tempted to wash this mess out this morning. http://biracialhair.org/CurlyPrimer.aspx

Your hair is so pretty. Off to try a french roll in my hair.

Ediese, I might try this on my daughter's hair which has a similar curl pattern to yours. I think it looks less "frizzy." Thanks for the info!

 

[WesternEyes]

Beautiful! That's it, i'm getting some of that gel.

I did the ghetto version of the cherry lola treatment on my transitioning hair. Instead of yogurt, I used conditioner. My hidden curls popped and I am convinced that the original recipe will work better. Ediese, your hair is gorgeous! I wonder if you can refresh the curls with water like you can do KCCC.

 

[GV-NA-GI-TLV-GE-I]

I'm going nuts trying to get to the actual recipe...here it is for others. Again, thanks for this link!

Ediese I think your hair looks gorgeous! Try using water to refresh your curls in the morning. I do this and the curls get better everyday and last until the nest wash day.

Many ladies who use KCCC say that the way that they apply it makes a big difference in the way the curls look and on youtube some say that the best results are from fingercombing it through. Maybe it would be the same with ecostyler. I have also mixed some water with my ecostyler for less crunch. If you stir it well it will have the same consistency.
