If you ladies haven't tried the Eco Styler Black Castor and Flaxseed Oil...you've got to try it! It has surpassed even my UFD Curly Magic for Wash n gos. My hair dried with a gel cast, but after scrunching, it is as soft as if I used a cream, but with minimal frizz. It is a winner. I haven't used it for a TO yet, but I am very impressed so far.

How was the Eco Black Castor Oil and Flaxseed gel on Day 2 and Day 3, @Joigirl?
 
Thank you, @Sharpened! It was just so crunchy!! I'm usually a WetLine Extreme user but to prep for the cut they tell you which brands to use for your wash and go.

This is the after. She cut about two inches off. I can see the difference but hubby had to pull to be sure lol

It was funny that she is always so fascinated by how long my hair is; it was about two feet long all around. It's still pretty long but now it's layered.

I looove your cut! It's really beautiful! Sort of heart-shaped and I'm envious of how well defined and springy your curls are! What do you do to get this level of definition?

This is all thanks to my awesome Deva stylist. I took that pic right after I left him yesterday. In addition to Deva products, just depending on what's going on with my hair, he may use products by MopTop, Original Moxie or two brands that I've never seen mentioned here before, Innersense or Long Hair Don't Care.
 
It always happens for me and my hair this way...everybody going right and myhair wants to go left. I really wanted to like the new eco Flax....but my hair is like nope, with a leave-in , without a leavein, with a moisturizer or without a moisturizer my 2nd and beyond day hair is unacceptable with this product. It effortlessly sucks the moisture out of my hair! Multi day hair is just not possible with this product because I fear the resulting dryness will lead to breakage.
Now that new Coconut gel though...I was prepared not to like it after watching and reading an abundance of negative reviews. But my hair is like "yaaaaasssss bih; this is what we like!!" Soft defined and flakeless curls & kinks! Give us more give us more!! The coconut will go into regular rotation along with Argan, and Olive Oil Eco and the Flax will be banished to teenage boy use only.

IMG_3193.JPG I've started back doing wng's on soaking wet hair. It may lack volume at first but I get more days out of it and that's what I want. I'd rather just let it get bigger as the days go on than start out with it big because it doesn't last.

This is a week old wng that I refreshed with can't curl Activator and gel to get one more day out of it. I loved how it turned out even more than the initial wng lol.
 
I cleansed my hair and scalp with an hour-long aloe gel treatment and FRW, followed by finger-detangling with Castor/Hemp Oil, nothing else:

Your volume is amazing! I'm totally in love :love:

I am also admiring the pout :supergrin: What's the lipstick that you've got on?

lol thanks so much. I'm so glad the volume came in because at first it was soooo flat and I was about to do it over. For once I'll thank the humidity for plumping it up a bit. Normally humidity and my hair don't go together.

I wish I could tell you the lip color but it's one of those cheapie brands where they put the name on the plastic instead of the tube so I'm left with a blank tube lol. It's one of the Jordanna matte colors.

Lol no problem!

And ummm what is the technique/product that is giving you so much definition as to decrease your volume? I'm always on the hunt for more definition for my curls.

When I style on soaking wet hair with any leave in and gel I get super defined, flat, wet look type curls. I'll post a pic one day of how it looks in that state but I don't like it that way. I prefer fluffing it out some and breaking up the gel cast to soften up the curls. Oh and I always shingle my hair

My hair behaves in the same way as well. I actually use a spray bottle full of water to keep my hair wet while I style because water with leave-in gives me the best definition when topped up with gel. Needless to say when the gel dries, my clumps are very thin, stringy, and sickly, but they come alive when I SOTC (break the cast)

Sadly all of this happens in my texlaxed hair. I'm yet to find a way to define my natural roots as nicely.
 
Where are people finding the Eco castor and flaxseed gel? I've gone to a bunch of stores and can only find the coconut gel on the ground.

Found it after an extensive search at many of m local BSS. I also made sure to tell each shop owner that this was trending and they better get up on it quickly. Mission accomplished. It's everywhere now!
 
Fact: Eco Castor does not offer me more than 2 day hair. At this stage of my wash n go life, that is unacceptable! I'll be back with pics of today's wng with my tried & true Eco Olive...with a twist. My PJ crept up on me as I roamed the aisles of Walgreens yesterday. I have a new leave in after using Aunt Jackies faithfully for over a year! It plays well with Eco so, so far so good. Let's see what it do after a day in the office.
