I so love Long Aid Activator Gel!!!!

[Smiley79]

I rarely do reviews on products but I have to say how much I love this gel! It's so moisturizing yet light on my super dry hair. I'm trying to do the Curly Girl method but I don't see this gel on their list. I'm afraid to even look at the ingredients so I don't find out any bad news. Shame on me, I know. (If anyone wants to do the research for me and break the news to me gently, go right ahead )

Personally, I don't recommend it for twist outs or anything that you would need definition because it is soooo moisturizing, but I love it for smoothing my edges, rocking fluffy puffs and I also use a tiny bit when I band my hair at night to keep them moisturized.

Has anyone had success with this gel, I don't see it mentioned here that often.

girl, I can write novels on this stuff lmao. it's my staple moisturizer. I wash and go daily and I use it underneath styling gel. Soft and moisturized curly curls lol :3

I remember when I first went natural, the only gel people would talk about was Eco Styler. So I never knew about this hidden gem until wayyyy later! Now my poor Ecostyler gel is dusting in my bin, lol; but I still keep it on hand because it has a much better hold than LA.
As a matter of fact, I am running out of this gel. I gotta hit up my local Dollar General and get a big jar of it this time!

I love this stuff. I only use Eco-Styler to smooth my hair back now, I use this down the length when I do a puff.

MzLady78 I tried that today technique and loved it...my sides are tamed and my puff is soft. Thanks. On a sad note, I finished my jar this morning.
