- "Gel Alternative"
I use this method to slick back my hair and i love the results. My hair stays nicely in place & this alternative controls all the frizz. To achieve this look i did not use gel because although gel can give a nice sleek look it's not the best product for hair. Using this method/alternative when i take my hair down from a hairstyle it was in my hair remains soft & still has movement. With using gel... afterwards it can leave hair feeling very crunchie, dry and flakey. This method/alternative works amazing for me and i hope it does for you too, all the best♥♥♥

You are beautiful. I love when women keep their natural hair.
+ItsRaiden Aw... thank-you so much!
I have a similar video! My hair has always been so difficult when it comes to the "sleek" look because it's SOO thick! But i've mastered it over the years!
i remember that from my childhood! i havent seen Dax in a minute lol XD
Me too
Eco styler gel is alcohol free it also has wheat protein and oils and Dax has petroleum in it
+ryan zachery Grease is worse for hair than gel ew! lol
ryan zachery Dear Sir, Eco Styler Gel is LACED with alcohols to the Max! Carbomer being the main ingredient, is derived from petroleum/Petrochemicals; Ethelyne Glycol, Propanol, Propylene Glycol are all types of alcohols. Please research it.
Epiphanie Always I did my research, not all alcohols are drying some are moisturizing.
Ayesha King hi I'm 12, thank you for being on the postitive side and taking your time to research what alcohol is good and what is bad being im to lazy anyways, so thank you
@@traci.so.random3457 I use to think the same thing. I've been natural for 10 years but recently started using vaseline. My hair comes out amazing. Stays soft nice n moisturized. That's what my mamma used n my hair was the bomb back then. Idk why I ever got away from it
WOW! Good old Dax! I haven't seen it or used it since childhood when my mom used to do my hair. I'll have to try that. Eco Styler does not have any alcohol in it.
Rose Pitts Dax is awesome! lol
This is from 12 years ago, but girl if I go in here and see waves in my I’m gonna scream! I’ve been wanting this look for so long! I can’t wait to try this!!
The question is... DID IT WORK? This method is still clutch 👌 Thanks for your comment & all the best!!
there are gels that really moisturize like aloe vera gel its used for sun burn and works really well on natural hair with out alcohol or flakes and also flax seed gel doesn't fake and is easy to make and all natural just fyi great hair video.
I'm really loving your channel, thanks for the get idea. I'm definitely going to try this on those weeks when my hair is getting close to needing a perm. My baby hairs get hard to control in those times
Oh yess!! A scarf really helps for extra sleekness! & i keep hearing such great things about jojoba oil.. i really want to try it. Thanks for the great tips♥
How does a scarf help?
@@mariasulaiman7180 it helps to lay it down.
Thanks for the video idea :) I have a few tips but my main tips are limiting or not using heat, it made a huge difference in my hair. Also co-washing helped my hair to stay softer, longer which helped & made less breakage
Very beautiful work with matching hair. Enjoyed it.
I'd say my hair is 3c, 4a(in some parts) & it works like a charm for me. I haven't tried Ecostyler, but i heard its good so maybe that may give you a little more hold, plus it doesn't have alcohol :)
New subscriber!!! :)) I'm definitely gonna try it! Haven't flat ironed my hair since June! I found you because I'm thinking about dying my hair for the 2nd time in my life(I'm 20)!
Well you could also make your own flax gel.
+Cantetinza17 Good idea!
How
I only realised that until after, so next time i'll definitely be careful with my words! But thank-you for the tip & comment♥
I'm so happy to hear that, thanks for telling me! Have a great day♥
Very neat bedroom. Cool. Can't stand messy rooms in background. Nice video.
your hair is so pretty! im currently transitioning to natural, so if you could do some more natural hair videos that would be great!
This is cool, i never would have thought to use this at all
i'll def have to try that, thanks!! ♥
Great point, now i'm trying to be more ingredient conscious.. no alcohol, sulfates or parabens. I'll be on the hunt for a product like that.. hopefully it exists, i'm sure it does! Just gotta find it right :) Lemme know if you find something like that before me :) i'm always up for a helpful product recommendation!
Sorry for the very late reply!! Thats a great video idea, thanks! If i dont do that video i will message you, promise! But i really do like that suggestion. & i hope your hair comes back to its orginal state.. you just got to give it time & some TLC♥
SO with that being said, i filmed a new video 'How i smooth down my edges' & i show from beginning to end, hair out then to hair smooth & slicked down. It's a slightly different method & i hope it'll be helpful! Thanks again for your comment♥♥ (That video will be up this month!)
I hope you were able to try it out :) & no problem at all.. love being able to share tips & help others♥
a gel thats good for natural hair is the eco styler gel with olive oil and the great thing about it ...no alcohol !! yay!! i love mixed chicks!! great video :)
Good point, only thing my hair wasn't slicked down it was just pulled back into a bun... but i can see how it may have looked slicked down to some. Thanks for the comment :)
& AmberAuNaturel is right... i'm about a 3c and in one small section in the middle a 4a. What are you?
I am worried this wont work because my texture is not a soft curl like yours and I worry about clogging my pores. I notice you don't just make a video, answer one or two questions and then disappear forever. You are Awesome!
You're welcome! So happy to have helped :)
Yup you're right, that's how my hair naturally is. I'm not fully black, my grandparents are mixed. I have Scottish in me =)
I just used this method last night 🙏🏾
Ahhh I needed this I ran out of my eco styler😅❤️
I am just curious, why u are against alcohol products but not petroleum products? Thanks! Love the video!
@imhischild29 Aww dont worry, i know what u mean..my hair has its days where it wants to do its own thing! & Thank-you very much :)
@Secretluver01 Sorry i didn't tell you sooner! It's called "Minted" By Revlon. It's such a nice shade & looks so beautiful on any skintone. Should be in the $3-5 range, hope you find it :)
Thank-you so much sweetie! I haven't made videos in awhile, but i'm back & i will certainly do some more natural hair videos :)
Thank-you!
@NewVenture74 Aww thank-you, i agree i don't like messy rooms in the background either! Thanks for the kind comment♥
Dax? Wouldn't it be better to use gel? Well, aloe vera gel at least. Shea butter sounds like a nice idea. Another tip is to tie a scarf for 10 mins instead of a brush after smoothing hair with an aloe vera gel/castor oil mixture. Beautiful hair btw!
Thanks for subbing & all the best :)
What color are you thinking of dying it?
@winiver77 Thanks, i hope you were able to try it out!
I'll try it out. Thanks.
@sugardollally Dax is the bomb right? loool, i love it! You should try it out on your beautiful curls for sure... it works like a charm, thanks for the sweet comment like always♥♥
Great idea. I am going to try this on my edges because I am a little tired of edge controls. Thanks for the great vudeo.
@liveloveGlam IC Fantasia is another gel that's alcohol free. It never leaves my hair crunchy/flaky when i slick part of my hair back. You just have to make sure not to mix it with certain products.
@sunshinekissi No prob & thanks for the love girlie! & yes try it out, it works like a charm.. all the best :)
Hmm.. i'd say try out the green or yellowish one. Dax keeps my hair very moisturized & sleek. But what may work for one may not work for the other.. but i'd say give it a try :) What color is your hair?
Hey Hun!
Not to worry, if your hair is thicker then mine i'd say use shea butter. Shea butter can give a really nice hold & 100% raw natural shea butter should not clog ur pores :) The dax i used is very light weight but it does give a nice hold, but for thicker hair or a sleeker look, try shea butter!
& I wish i could post more frequently(my aim is 1 video a week.) So when i cant post i love interacting with my subbies & helping anyone out the best i can! Thank-you so much for your comment♥
Oh really? thanks for the tip.. i was wondering how to handle & have less of them! Thanks for sharing your routine! Have a nice night :)
You're welcome! I'm happy it helped, thanks for the comment ^_^
Just fyi not all gels have alcohol agents. In fact ecostyler gel does not have any alcohol and actually makes my hair softer. Just a lil tip!
I love gels .... anyway ..interesting idea....will try...
Castor oil is an alternative. It seems to be 'natural' but could clog your pores if left in for more than a day and has a scent that is not pleasant to everyone. Still looking! Your thoughts?
Yup now i know, at the time i didn't. So that's why i left a disclaimer a few seconds in saying:
"*Sorry!* I didn't mean to generalize. Not all gels have alcohol in them, Ecostyler is another alternative & it doesn't have alcohol. Thanks for letting me know! ^_^"
Thanks for the comment, & take care!
I'm so so happy this helped you & that it worked! Thanks for letting me know :)
Awesome 👍
@bailey1950 If your working up a big sweat then i would say use ecostyler(no alcohol) for more hold, but if your jogging, biking and doing basic excersizes it should be fine. Thanks for the comment!
Oh wow that's cool! Its nice that you know your family history i only know up to my great grans. Thanks for sharing :)
THANKS A LOT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR A WHILE.
Great job, I like your Dax, leave in method better. Thanks
looks good and your hair is so beautiful!!
Good to hear :) Have a nice day & thanks for the comment!
Sorry, wish i could have helped! I guess everyone has a different idea of slicked back hair. Depending on your hairtype( tight curls: 3c-4c) this method will show your waves, but if your hair is looser then there wont be waves(or very subtle ones.)
@Dreamytresses I still need to try that product out.. But wow i wish i could co-wash daily but it would be so much work. Bless you, your hair must be easy to handle! lol Thanks for the comment =)
great video girlie! I agree the heavy products definitely work for slicking it back, what kind of sccent does the dax have?
I haven't tried this on a coarser texture then mine.. but i'm curious to know what the results would be. For a hairtype like that i would suggest doing what i did & then using a satin scarf and leaving it on for a few minutes :)
OMG thank you thank you thank you thank you , i asked my mom to buy it and she did and now i use it and i works :)
I have 4a hair, but I don't like the dax, because it leaves red residue...maybe I should get a different color...
@NialahWilliams Thanks for letting me know, next time i'll keep that in mind & not generalize everything because like you said not all gels have alcohol. Funny you mention ecostyler because someone just commented on another video recommending that to me as well so i'll have to check that out. Thanks for the comment♥
Thanks for the recommendation! I have tried the leave in conditioner but thats about it, & so far i love it!! Which products have you tried from that line?
I'm allergic to most gel so thank u so much for this vid
Thanks for the love, you're awesome too♥
I've started using vaseline, idk why I ever stopped. It is the 💣
@QuanRav3 When it wants to be.. lol! Thanks♥
Thanks for the love Mari :)
Dax works wonderful for me :) & thank-you for the tip!! When i went on vacation it was sooooo hot so i tried that for extra hold & it worked like a charm, thanks♥
Nice tutorial but I think it'd be better if you'd shown us when your hair wasn't already slicked down!
Also what is your hair texture? (number + letter)
@kameelean AWW, thank-you! I figured this method wouldn't work for everyone but as long as you find a product & method that works for you then it's all good. Also I really appreicate you showing me the love by sending my video along :) & no prob, take care!
Nice to hear this works for you too :)
I wish my hair would behave like that...lol...your hair is beautiful!
I'd say that is what my hairtype is & it works for me. SO most definitely ^_^
Thanks so much!
Aww thank-you so much!!
I am trying to stay away from gel. I first realized it left flake when i scratched my hair and alot o crap fell ou of it. I was so disgusted. Now i try to stay away from it but I didnt know what to put in it. From using gel for a year straight my hair went from down my back to on my shoulders. We used a leave in conditioner on my hair but it got so thick it wouldnt go into a ponytail and noo way am i wearing my fro out. Someone please help me!!
Thanks for the comment hun :)
Can you use any greese after leave in condition,? For slicking down hair.
Oh wow you are?! & no problem at all, thanks for commenting :)
@liveloveGlam your welcome:) Same here
Thank-you♥♥
Oh really? that's cool :)
Nice tip and I, too, love using Mixed Chicks Leave-In conditioner!
Aww *blushes* thank-you very much :)
i like your video, you did a good job
Beautiful hair! I love the wavy look!
Just my humble opinion...I don't think people voted the video down because of your texture or mixed chicks. It may be because you did a video to show people how to slick their hair down with your hair already slicked down. Would have been nice if you started off with hair that wasn't already slicked down. Just my 2cents :)
Wouldn't that cause dandruff?
Thanks for sharing your technique as well, sounds like it works really great! ^_^
Most definitely! :)
@xxezesnoopyxx Thank you so much sweetie♥♥
eco styler is cheap and alcohol free and after a few hours the hard feeling turns into soft controlled hair.
Yes i do, white. My Great Grandfather was Scottish♥
Thanks for the comment!
Thank-you SO much for your comment, i definitely value your opinon & i took it into consideration. It's funny because i didn't slick back my hair beforehand i literally just pulled it back with the widetooth comb i showed & that was it, nothing special. BUT i can see how it can looked as if i started off with hair that was 'slicked back.'
