I would have done it through out the course of month... 1 gel a week. Because I feel like using a product once isn’t always the best way to judge something. That’s just me though. Plus as a curly head gal I only wash my once a week so doing it over the span of one month makes sense. (But I understand that this is a show and 1 month of taping isn’t really ideal)
@Sugar Rush i dont think she was even 4c, but she never put water or any moisture in her hair like the other girls so idek what she was aiming for lol 🤷🏾♂️
icecreamsandmich cherry especially bc she did a ponytail most of the time. but i think she’s the only one who used relaxers majority of her life and the other ones didn’t.
@@itislyouspeakof I meant the ones in the video, I don't think this shows a variety of different looking black people in my opinion damn only one girl looks vastly different in terms of facial features and she most likely mixed that's just the truth.
if the lightskin girl would part her hair an gel/brush down the parts with the olive oil eco gel she would be able to accomplish the slick pony. i have thick hair and i can never just put gel on my head an brush it down i have to part, gel, brushdown lmao ohhhhh thennnn usea scarf for a good 30 to an hour
same I have to section my hair and slick each part down before wrapping for the night, the result is always rly slick but it would be nice to just add water and brush it down lmao
I feel like the woman in the middle was the only one who really used it properly. People really put gel on dry hair!!! Also most of us gel users have switched to wetline.
icilmaa nah, finally they don’t have a bunch of 3b’s and some frizzy, dry 2c hair being passed off as 4c bullshit being marketed toward black women (most of which don’t have those hair types)
I tend not to use numbers and letters to categorise afro textured hair since the system was made up by Oprah Winfrey 's hairdresser who made his disdain for afro hair is very clear. Everybody's hair texture is realistic but it's whether you can relate to the textures or not.
You know. I HATE it when mixed-race girls with clearly looser textured hair go on about how difficult their hair is. When she said she couldn’t slick it I just rolled my eyes.... This is also coming from a 4c who slicks her hair no problem.
christle madra honestly I don’t fw gorilla snot cuz it’s too sticky like glue. Imma try to type up a little step by step for you. I use Style Factor edge booster GEL and I use their edge control. 1. stretch your hair -You must detangle and stretch your hair otherwise you’ll have a hard ass time manipulating it. You can either do twists, a braid out or blow dry it. And make sure your hair is MOISTURIZED. If it’s dry it will be harder to manipulate 2. Section your hair -You won’t be able to get a flat slick down by gelling all your hair at once. I like to make 3-4 sections/layers starting from the very back of my head and ending at the front 3. Start slicking -Brush out and gel each section down using a hairtie to secure it. I usually redo the ponytail for each section but if you want you can add a hair tie for each section. 4. Protect your hair -Use a satin scarf to tie down your hair and wear a bonnet and you’re pretty much done. After you tie your hair wait about an hour and check. If you have any whiteness or flaking just dab oil on you hair and tie it again then wait for it to dry and check again. The whiteness should be gone. If you don’t wanna tie your head you can use a blowdrier to set your hair but it won’t be as effective. (Side note: you wanna tie your hair down TIGHT. If it’s giving you a headache or making your head feel weird then don’t make it that tight but basically as tight as possible) This way is way more time consuming than how other textures do it but that’s how I get a perfect slick down.
Yaaaaaay! More Black British content please!!!Love that its called Seasoned! LOL. My hair is similar to Pip's so I felt her struggle. BTW's Pip, your blush is STUNNING!
Honestly they all still needed work. As a natural women I feel that they need more work with styling their hair in general. When we say use a scarf meaning for a period of time, also lightly add water / moisture aswell it helps. Your brush matters !!!!! Back to the scarf during your makeup routine have the scarf on brushing your teeth have the scarf on that part is crucial to keeping you hair in tact throughout the day. Our natural is gorgeous we just all need a little more education and time in our get ready routine.
Is it just me ? they make me flake a lot n with slick back styles always flake so I mix it with water also definitely firm hold holds curls also with no puffiness
Can we see another one of these videos done more accurately? I mean, the ladies are beautiful and awesome but they did NOT style their hair the way some of the gels were supposed to even be used for lol
I know I don't know how to do my hair, but to see them really have 3 people who literally cannot do their hair like AT ALL , zero effort --- this test was kind of :/ like what. Should of had different skill type , on top of different hair types for this video. Maybe a take two cause YIKES!
Des The Lioness No people with hair types like the girl with kinky hair can slick down their hair but they need to put it in sections, tie it overnight, use water etc you can just put the gel and go no one does that
Thinking the same thing. They were literally just putting it in and that’s it. Where is the detangling? sectioning?shingling?you can’t see how a gel works if you just put it in. 🤷🏽♀️ but I’ve been natural for 8 years and I’m just getting the hang of it
ECO Styler is HOOD 😹😹😹 I’ve literally NEVER seen these different types of ECO styler. Just the clear one and the green one 😹😹 they need to send those ones across the pond!
I love that these are all women who do not use gel. It’s a real test. This was for someone like me who does not use gel... just in case anyone else is confused lmao yt comments are always out of control but a lot of yas have a need to control people you don’t know over the internet instead of just searching for a video you would like. Try it out. This was gold
The old school protein gel must be applied in dollops with a toothbrush 😂😂😂 The couple of times I've had my hair done for formals, I would knock on my hair; it's so hard 🤣
I’ve had the original one, the green one and the gold one I really like the smell of the green and gold one but also I have kinda wavy and straight hair so it’s not a problem for me
Eco Style Edge Control Is A Beast Too. I use it to retwist my locs and Mannn it keeps my locs lookin super neat for a week and better with minimal frizz
I'm looking at your face, Pip, and I think you'd look absolutely gorgeous with a really short haircut. I just cut my hair and I am lovinggggggg it! I really grew into myself after I did it. No going back. Anyway, just a suggestion. You're gorg!
Was a good video I'm enticed to try the gold one &maybe the pink one for a wash & go but I typically use the green olive oil one or the JBCO one for slick styles
‘I feel relaxed; but maybe that’s because it’s the first thing morning and no one’s tried me yet.’
I Felt that sis...I felt it 😌😂
I hate when you be having a wonderful day then there comes that one person who just tried you then everything turns bad and sour
Girl I couldn't believe how me that statement was I literally say that on a regs
She spoke to the soul with that comment!
I was just bout to comment that
Me every single morning
they should’ve tried the original ones as well like the flaxseed, coconut and olive oil ones
scarlett evie but everybody know them tho !
For a pure comparison?
When i looked I was like where is the olive oil
Everybody’s used those tho
Make your own comparison video
Didn’t know buzzfeed had a buzzfeed UK channel. But this is the black girl magic content i needed to see
*periodt ☺💫.*
For real sis
same 🥰
Much better than buzzfeed US
nadine we don’t care for buzzfeed the black buzzfeed we watch is all def digital 🤷🏽♀️
5 gels in 1 week sounds like a build up nightmare
That part
Ikr 😌😭
they may have co washed daily

“My hair does NOT SLICK BACK” *slicks back her hair*
👏👏
I was legit so confused
Exactly 🙄
Yeah, I didn't understand what she meant
I think she meant that the front never lays down and frizz up
whoever did that girls box braids need to be fired . let her edges breathe lmao .
Her scalp was braided into the braids too. 💀🤣
@@starr7093 exactly how people lose their hairlines.
If someone did this in my hair I’d tell them to start the f*ck over
None helped the 4c
@Sugar Rush i dont think she was even 4c, but she never put water or any moisture in her hair like the other girls so idek what she was aiming for lol 🤷🏾♂️
I just feel that she was the least experienced in doing her hair (especially for a 4c type)
I didn't see a single scarf used
XclusiveChiq she definitely needed help I don’t think she knew how to style her hair and actually do it
icecreamsandmich cherry especially bc she did a ponytail most of the time. but i think she’s the only one who used relaxers majority of her life and the other ones didn’t.
They’re all so beautiful to me, just shows the variety of features and complexions of us black females!
yesss! 💗💗
LAYLÆLISE yep!
Not really tho
kitty dollsXo “to me”, as in my opinion...and black women do have a variety of features and complexions, that’s just a fact...
@@itislyouspeakof I meant the ones in the video, I don't think this shows a variety of different looking black people in my opinion damn only one girl looks vastly different in terms of facial features and she most likely mixed that's just the truth.
so I'mma need another video with all three of them
Period 🙌🏾
I really like their personalities!

My hair is thick but I can slick it with water and gel and put a scarf on and I’m good
@@lalanaturale lucky
@@lalanaturale same way with my mom I always wish I could do that
She must make that slurping sound often because nobody said anything 😂😭😭
Mymyraiah girl that’s a straight African thing they mommas did it they do it

I do that cause Im awkward and sometimes not an slurp. Im not African tho

“It doesn’t slick but go off” this is so me!!🤦🏽♀️😂😂
I feel like the woman in the middle was the only one who really used it properly. People really put gel on dry hair!!! Also most of us gel users have switched to wetline.
Is wetline good?
Orange Blossom yes! I love it. I have 4c hair (my profile picture is a wig) and it works well for me
Yup Wetline is better!
Wetline is hard to find in the uk
Calista Wetline is really hard to find in Europe
If they weren't friends before, then I hope they're friends now. The friendship chemistry seemed really natural
realistic hair types yesss
All hair textures are realistic do you mean you can relate?
icilmaa nah, finally they don’t have a bunch of 3b’s and some frizzy, dry 2c hair being passed off as 4c bullshit being marketed toward black women (most
of which don’t have those hair types)
thrifted dad hat “realistic” shouldn’t be the word tho 😂

Kaila Moore that’s cool, I’m just adding clarity
The light skin girl kinda sounds like Jorja Smith
Matthew Morris she’s giving me more SOLANGE vibes
aurrie jones do you mean look wise?
She looks nothing like jorja lol
C. Rxby no she doesn’t look like her...I mean fashion and just general vibe
‘ nah Ella mai.
😂😂 I Feel relaxed. But maybe that's because it's first thing in the morning and no one's tried me yet 😂😂😭
Consuela Esseboom before I seen that part of the video I was so confused of why u commented this 😂😂😂💀😭
The green one is the best can’t believe the didn’t try the best one 😂
So true
Exactly..that’s the only one I ever use..the best one hands down
I use to use that but it flaked a lot for me and now I use the argan oil one it never flakes for me
Deborah Payne same for me any type of gel I use I get the one that has Argan oil in it so it won’t be flakey
Argan is
Her hair will slick you just need to do it in layers. I literally have 4c hair and I can slick my hair down so she definitely can too.
It takes a lot of work but a slick down is definitely achievable
You know. I HATE it when mixed-race girls with clearly looser textured hair go on about how difficult their hair is. When she said she couldn’t slick it I just rolled my eyes.... This is also coming from a 4c who slicks her hair no problem.
howcanyoudothistome1 exactly ugh. The fact that we have to put in extra work to achieve the same styles too...
Really!? I can NEVER !! Girl PLEASE TELL me what u use!! I ONLY HAVE GORILLA SNOT THAT CAN DO MY EDGES😖 4c girl here
christle madra honestly I don’t fw gorilla snot cuz it’s too sticky like glue. Imma try to type up a little step by step for you. I use Style Factor edge booster GEL and I use their edge control.

This girl said "my hair is a lil but fluffy" mind you she’s at the gym ☠️ . Bless the lord children 😭😭‼️ .
I didn’t get that either lol of course it would be fluffy
Is it just me ? they make me flake a lot n with slick back styles always flake so I mix it with water also definitely firm hold holds curls also with no puffiness
For slick back ponytails, I use the wet line extreme gel the green one and it NEVER flakes on me!!!! I love it so much and it was so cheap
Lene Domi depends on which products you pair with eco. Rub the product and eco in your hands and it turns shite then it’ll flake in your hair.
O-Kay wet line extreme work so good on wash n go. Curls be poppin💕
I use the argan oil one no flakes it’s the only one that doesn’t turn my hair white as my coils set
That's why I mix my gel with hair grease.
No on
The lightskin one: “slurp”
7:32 ik I cackled
@FamilyOf11 I'm not gonna say anything cause this is too funny, but just search it up on Google/Safari 😭💀.
FamilyOf11 ur mom
They’re so beautiful
Try the original with Argan oil aka the red lid
The protein gel giving me Pink Lusters gel vibes
Can we see another one of these videos done more accurately? I mean, the ladies are beautiful and awesome but they did NOT style their hair the way some of the gels were supposed to even be used for lol

I’m sorry they cannot do hair wtf was that application. Wheres the moisturizer, the water or the sections when applying the product
Not everyone is a hair guru

@@shailaadia974 eh true
Yes 💯💯💯
Betul Amani Right if you’re hair is different and you do sections fine but they don’t need it!!!
The classics especially the olive oil one should have made it to the list

honeybdream me too!
''I feel relaxed, but maybe Because its the first thing in the morning and nobodys tried me yet'' i felt that on a spiritual level 💯💯💯🤣🤣🤣

Kelsey Van Ert YES THE OLIVE OIL ONE IS THE BEST ONE
@MisMupp I saw this video then literally saw the unicorn one at a store and was like "well look at that! spoke too soon."
Cbd gel worked for everyone. Lol as I thought it would.
So far the only one that has never let me down is the argan oil. I've tried different ones, but that one is the best one for me.
7:41
Her braids 😳 they look tight
두대한 they braids her scalp and brain 💀😭😭I would be crying
they stressed me out i had to pause the video
that stylist braided her scalp and edges damnnnn

Do these women have a youtube channel together I would definitely watch them..they are funny and relatable..❤
If your hair don’t like to slick try a strong edge control and then put gel on top it will work💖👍🏾
Thank you ladies from the U.S., this was so needed!
“I feel relaxed but maybe that’s because it’s the first thing in the morning and no one has tried me yet” LMAO
Buzzfeed UK seems more authentic and less forced. Definitely subscribing.
Did they even wash in between gels?
I got the cbd one in the huge jar and i love it! It sleeks my hair but doesn’t harden my hair all at the same time (3c-4b hair)
These ladies are adorable, I want more videos of them talking about their curls!
Man look, y’all did this completely wrong 😂😂
Toriana Jazel right 🤣😭😭
Exactly 😂
The 4c girl was not doin her hair right 😫 the curling pink bottle works like magic
“It doesn’t slick but go off” 😂 I felt that
The old school protein gel must be applied in dollops with a toothbrush 😂😂😂
The couple of times I've had my hair done for formals, I would knock on my hair; it's so hard 🤣
Really? That stuff doesn't do anything for me, no hard hold at all. Soft one day wash n go tho
Yesss! I love hearing the sound when I pressed down on my hair 😂
nobody :
nobody at all :
the light skinned one : " SLURP"
I just started using the gold one a couple days ago and I’m crazy about it so when I saw it In the the vid I was hype af
This was so cute! Didn’t know the unicorn one existed lol
I wouldn’t be able to do a different gel everyday it would look like I walked through a snow blizzard 😂
The Argon oil works best for me. I’m going to try the gold jar.
“ cause no one has tried me yet” 😂😂😂
They had to try Eco’s coconut oil gel,bomb af 😍🤤
My hair is already pink so the unicorn one makes my hair look even prettier and iridescent 💖🥰
I love the gold one it actually works so freaking good and smells great
Why are you coming for my sis Tasha (from Power) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk about anyone else but this video was kinda helpful to see which gels do what
I didn’t know I needed this, but I’m glad I got it 😍
I’ve had the original one, the green one and the gold one I really like the smell of the green and gold one but also I have kinda wavy and straight hair so it’s not a problem for me
My fav gel out of those EcoStylers is the Gold jar
That gold gel hit different smell so good 🥰
Thier skin thier hair thier accents all beautiful I love it.....
The pink one is amazing for defined curls
Eco Style Edge Control Is A Beast Too. I use it to retwist my locs and Mannn it keeps my locs lookin super neat for a week and better with minimal frizz
The Argan oil, crystal , and gold one is the best😌.
Forever ever, *in unison* , Forever ever.
I love us Queens 😂
Forever, ever. (Forever, ever?) YAS! ❤️
3 beautiful black girls
they are all so lively and sweet 🥺
My favorites econstyler gel are :
1) black castor
2) protein
As a big Eco styler fan, this vid is appreciated. The pink one gets flaky tho
Even thought they all roasted the unicorn gel I still want to try it 😂
The girl with braids at the end was probably tired of her hair after this
I’ve tried multiple. The green one is the best lol.
Got2b glued works miracles ( I have 4c hair)
So we just gone ignore that foreva eva trio they did ? 😂🤷🏾♀️
My favorite is the one with the cbd paired with style factor edge booster 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I'm looking at your face, Pip, and I think you'd look absolutely gorgeous with a really short haircut. I just cut my hair and I am lovinggggggg it! I really grew into myself after I did it. No going back. Anyway, just a suggestion. You're gorg!
I love that they call it seasoned
I love the olive oil and Shea better one. That's the one I use now. It doesn't leave your hair crunchy like other gels.
"It dosen't slick, but go off"
I can relate!
The fact that I use the gold one on a daily basis lmaoo

I like the gold one myself but I’ll try the CBd one next
you should’ve tried the argan oil , olive oil , and the krystal because they’re the most popular
Was a good video I'm enticed to try the gold one &maybe the pink one for a wash & go but I typically use the green olive oil one or the JBCO one for slick styles
The Queens who’s Rein I never knew I needed 👑🥰
"For ever ever?"
every single one of there skin is 😍😍
You guys need to try the olive oil and argan oil one!
My favorite is the dark gel..it seems like its the strongest hold....and sometimes the pink gel...it works pretty good..lol
Ughh the girl with the freckles is so beautiful 😩😩❤️
i use the clear green Olive Oil one and i really love it
I use the gold one 💫
