I've been using ecostyler gel for a couple years now but I want to use other products to give that sleek look without all that gel residue, especially when relaxing my hair. I've seen a post somewhere about someone using a set mousse instead of gel or edge control. For instance, they were using creme of nature set mousse. Anyone who is relaxing use other products besides gel?

I’m a natural and I use it to slick my hair down in tight ponytails or buns or whenever I want to wear the “wet look”

I wear it in my wash and go. If you’re relaxed you can use Nairobi setting foam to lay your hair down for slick styles.

Eco Styler doesn't respect the black dollar. If you think about using their gel again please watch this video and refrain from buying their products.

For a wash and go, I use Curls B n Control gel or their Goddess Curls Botanical Gelle. The latter gives a softer, fluffier curl.

For a sleek bun I use Wet Line xtreme clear gel or KeraCare protein styling gel, the brown one.

I am, and I'm not stopping. Nothing rivals ECO on this high density curly hair for a sleek bun, top knot or wash and go. I've spent years and $$$ trying others so I can jump ship, and given up.

In occasions , I use the Cantu Curling Custard. My hair works very with the more liquid gels and I only use a small amount when I am doing a wash and go that I want to be more define.

I either use Obia's curl custard or mousse or setting foam. Ecostyler destroyed my hair it dried my hair OUT.

I bought the argon oil eco styler gel and it will be the last time I do so.

I have found botanical gels that work better on my hair and actually moisturize it as well.

I'm still using it , I use mousse after so it's not too drying. It seems to work out well.

I use Wetline Xtreme for all my sleek looks. I sometimes mix it with Beeswax if humidity decides to be extra that day.

Jam gel leaves your hair soft and doesn't dry it out. Ecostyler can cause damage over time.
