    HEY GLAMFAM! Here's the channel I recommended: / sharmaine369
    So, many of you have been asking for me to address the drama surrounding EcoStyler at the moment. To be honest, at first I really didn't want to make a video on it, I just feel like this is a bit of a passing trend, and that majority of people will be right back to using ecostyler. BUT if you are concerned, I do recommend other gels in this video with different ingredients, so you can have some peace of mind.
    I truly hope this video helps!
    In further news, be sure to check out Sharmaine369's Channel, she is a WEALTH of information and her spirit about her is amazing! I love her content, and I think you will too.
    Here is a link to Bri Hall's video: • ECO Styler Gel is CANC...
    Here is the original video by AlopeciaFreeWithJass: • Why I Stopped Using Ec...
    LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS!
    Until Next time GlamFam, Take Care, God bless, and STAY GLAM!
    You know I love you boo,

    There has been so much talk lately, people wondering if eco styler causes cancer, wondering about eco styler ingredients and their purposes. Ingredients like Triethanolamine, Polysorbate20, Tetrasodium EDTA, and Fragrance. I briefly discuss each of those ingredients in this video, as well as their uses.

    I' ve been using Ecostyler for 10 years (not everyday though) and have never had all these reactions folks are saying they had. While not a hair chemist, I'm a chemist in real life, and just don't freak out about a lot of stuff. Practically anything is carcinogenic if you consume or use too much of it.

    I make my own flaxseed gel, I also make my own soap and lotion as well as blend -up my own shea butter cremes for the girls's hair and skin; yes it is work but I know what is in it. But just like everything else you have to have time for making your own stuff. Folks don't want to pay the money for all natural stuff made in small batches and then they go buy the lower priced brand name items for convenience then complain about what is in it.

    • @Princess0ftheLight

      I would have to agree, and of course, if someone has a reaction, then they should discontinue using it. I don’t think anyone assumed ES was an all natural product, so it’s difficult to see what all the fuss is about.

      I love your videos! Especially because you are so thorough in discussion of chemical structure of products and their purpose, it’s much needed information for more educated consumers! I’m a firm believer in sharing channels that create quality content, and you definitely do that without a doubt!
      Yes, what you put in is so important, I truly wish more people thought about it! Many of us unknowingly poison ourselves daily, simply because we didn’t take the time to read the ingredients.

    I don't know why people act like you can't have bad reactions to natural products too. My grandfather used to practice medicine and I remember he would tell me about different ways we treated conditions and diseases before modern medicines came about and I got to thinking, if "natural" products were the best thing you can ever have ever, we wouldn't have had to develop the artificial stuff in the first place. Not that natural doesn't have its place in the world but it's okay to use either type of products if it's working for you.

    Can I say 50 thumbs up!!! Of course, any product we use we should be mindful if we feel discomfort, ect ect. I found Shea Moisture products at the end of end of the Shea Moisture Ad Controversy here on the Tube. Tubers were quitting Shea Moisture. I was oblivious to the controversy, at the time, but I LOVE me some Shea Moisture! Saved my hair! Nobody, but nobody, is keeping me away from my Shea Moisture!! I admit, after being personally attacked, for being white and using Shea Moisture, I was careful to admit Shea Moisture is my Love! (I have always felt welcomed and appreciated on this channel, btw) Anyway, people should rely on common sense, fact and personal experience. The only gel I own is Shea Moisture High Porosity Gel. I own it because I like it :). Here is my opinion..my Grandma use to say.."If somebody told you to jump off a bridge, would you??"

    Hey Lin, thank you for the info. I have never been an admirer of gel in general. If i want my hair to lay down at the time & my sealant products wont do it it wont get laid down . It's too hard for my liking. I know that's the purpose lol but I almost have to wash my hair the next styling to get it out, if not it will break my hair off. Separating that so-called baby hair ("its just hair baby" haha)on some hair breaks off instead of blending that "baby hair" together to grow with the rest of the hair its one of the reasons I've seen loved one edges leave. Sometimes gel isn't needed on the regular for every style. Only from what I've seen personally. Thanks again. GlamFlam member here!

    Eco style gel.....it's a gift and a curse...lets go waaay back to 1993. When I was in cosmetology school once a week my classmates would do a product mini seminar on the pros and cons of certain products. Back then it was the battle between Queen Helene, Eco Style and Ampro gels mainly because in 1993 fingerwaves and scrunches was the flavor of the year. Some of my classmates and I agreed that Eco Style gel had a very "gummy" consistency, flaked like crazy and weighed the hair down. it also was a bad product to use when doing fingerwaves and gel sets alike because it would "melt" when the client is under the dryer. It's almost like Jam by Soft-Sheen Carson. If a client wants to tame her edges without getting "hard" Eco style is good for that because back then it didn't contain alcohol, which is the base "holding" factor in most hair gel products

    Most of the stuff we eat, breathe, put on our faces, hair and a whole bunch more has something thats "not good for us. If people want to be like that then they may as well live in a bubble and take baths and wash their hair with only water (eww). Ecostyler has been canceled for me for years. It has never worked on my hair. It never held my hair down or back even when I was getting perms. It just dried up, cracks and flakes. It looked like I had drawn lines in my hair. Plus I used to have to wash my hair 3 or 4 times to get it all out. I gave a few new ones a try last year but got the same results. I've just come to the conclusion that my hair doesnt like gel or edge control.

    Interesting enough I'm watching this video for the first time (I've been seeing the thumbnail for the past week or so) one day after watching a video of Trevor Noah's thoughts on people burning their sneakers and such in protest of a certain sport apparel manufacturer's campaign. He essentially made the same point that you did about individuals concentrating on this one product or brand but your continuing to use or buy into brands/companies when you don't know of or choose to ignore what they put in their products or what they stand for/against. You video as well as his are definitely worth watching. #thattimewhenIwatchedaninnocentvideoanditturnedintoalifelesson

As you've stated, if people are going to cancel out this, they have to cancel out everything with chemicals and go straight naturalistic with everything. Everything includes food, body & haircare, household cleaning products, clothing & shoes, paints, pesticides, lawn care, and the list goes on and on and on. So people, stop trippin. If you like it, use it. If you don't like it, then stop using it. It's not rocket science. ❤️

    I just use this gel for when ever I put my hair up in like a ponytail but otherwise I don’t really use it for my curls but I definitely think it’s pretty good when you do use it for your curls tho

    @prettyacct 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don't know how much gel you need to use to make your eyes water 😒. In addition, gel dries the hair out, so maybe everyone should lean back from all of this gel anyway. Excellent fact based and educational video.

    I've recently had a few friends ask me about this. And I didn't know how to phrase it all I could tell them was its all in the chemistry and composition make up of most products. I told a couple, I wouldn't be too worried about that gel, but more concerned about that shampoo and conditioner you're using. TY this helps me explain it to them. I use to use an Ecostyler gel for curly hair. I liked it, never had an issue with it. But I found a Redken I like more. Turned my waves into bouncy curls.

  • @brichalfant6127
    @brichalfant6127 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I use the Olive Oil one in the green jar as shown. It is one of the best products I have found that works for me with what I want it to do for everyday. I actually started using it as an alternative to using any of the styling producs from the DevaCurl line as I'm allergic to one of their "natural botanical" ingredients that is in every one of their products across all their lines. I can see why a particular fragrance would cause issues but not fragrance in general. Looking at you honeysuckle and west indian lemongrass...😒

    • @GetGlamFam
      @GetGlamFam  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Aww man, lemongrass?! That’s one of my favorites! I can understand discontinuing the use of DC though, allergic reactions are no joke! I just wish more people would read the labels to products in general. I feel like some of the “cancel everything” trends would never happen.

    • @brichalfant6127
      @brichalfant6127 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      GlamFam Burning scalp and migraines. Not fun. Thankfully just discomfort that benadryl and ibuproufin can take care of once I figure out what the problem is until all of it is gone from myself and environment. Part of why I can't work a makeup counter anymore is exposure to ingredients and I always like to counter the Young Living natural products pushers that most allergies and irritants are plants way to get us to stop using them. I'm fun at home sales parties. 😂

    • @GetGlamFam
      @GetGlamFam  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Lol I’m problematic at those parties too, I’m sure those folks hate me! 😂

    That stuff is strong enough to lay down my curls, but it makes my head itch, flakes up my leave-in conditioner and overall dries my hair out. What do you use to hold down your curls? Thanks for all your hard work and information, I trust you and greatly appreciate your opinions and recommendations. Plus you’re easy on the eyes, so that helps!

    I don’t like using gel in my hair, because of their chemicals, also if they have Animal by products, I am Vegan, cruelty free. I did try Shea Moisture gel in the jar, it’s says natural and cruelty free, and V. Their gel doesn’t hold my hair, it fells more like a moisturizer. I haven’t used them in a while, now i damp my hair add Shea butter and put it up in a bun.

  • @theshadowknowz5900

    Thanks so much...its always a blessing to hear truths and not just something people want bto hear because of their vanity...Pro-style gels are awesome come in many formulas so you won't get the brown flaking. They are very inexpensive and can found at you local 99¢ Stores and Dollar Tree! Also it's also a harmless protein gel! Mind you I'm only using a very small amount after I moisterize my hair all over, then I use the gel on the edges, on a part, mostly when I'm wearing a lace front! The gel blends with skin tones and holds the edges down "very well" without moving the unit around...yes, even the wind won't make it budge...! At the end of the day (up to a couple of days) just wet your edges with plain water, the gel is loosed, no pulling, no poison chemicals going into your "brain", and you still have your edges! I found an alternative to the poisonous edge glues since they are NOT made to touch your skin at all! They are NOT hypo-alleglic formulas due to contact dermatitis to chemicals and it saved my edges my health and life for over 15 yrs! These wig glues are practically the same to use super glue! Nasty stuff...

    Everyone reacts in a other way. If they maybe got red eyes etc. Doesn't mean we get the same. Maybe there was something in there that they would've get a allergic reaction to it.
