Great tips. I often do the palm test but as long as the gel and cream blend smoothly together regardless of if it's clear or white, it's usually going to be fine since it's common for the white to dry clear in my hair. But if during the palm test, the products clump together, then I don't bother attempting it in my hair.
I only pay mind to the palm test if it makes boogers. That is a DEFINITE sign that there will be flakes.
What The Kink 😂😂😂😂 right!
My hair even if it’s newly washed with nothing no dandruff or anything the gel still flakes so I don’t know what to do 😭😭😭
God knows I need these tips. #flakecity I'm leaving your town for good thanks to Hair Mary lol
Flake city will be losing some residents today!!
I was at school and I had flakes and people were like eww what’s in your hair😂😭
Katie H same I get made fun of by my “friends”
That crushes my confidence and make me so insecure.
Then they say I have dandruff or lice 🙄
me too! no one even told me till one of my friends did at my last period... ugh :(
@@dontworryaboutit9751 facts in school everything is dandruff or lice mostly lice but they never even see us itching our hair though
I've thought about all of these before, but now that Cousin said they work, Imma try em on washday!
I agree with you about the palm test not being 100%.
The oil one saved my life 🙏🏾❤️😭
Love this..so true...I've had products with the palm test that should have flaked or dried white...tried it anyway and it dries clear with no flakes. LOVE YOUR HAIR...the black color is awesome..she did an awesome job!!
Wouldn’t babe know this was a wig if I hadn’t read the description box. Can’t wait for that video! Thanks for the tips much needed.
I swear I don’t even have dandruff or flakes 😭 ecostyle works so good for my hair but flakes so bad I have to wash my hair every other day 🤦🏽♀️
Scooby Śaniyah dame 😭😭 I was thinking of cutting my hair it flakes up no matter what!!
Then you shouldnt use it
Thanks. I was almost at my wits end with flaking and was thinking that I should skip the leave in when I came across this. Great tips.
I am so frustrated! After the entire process of washing and conditioning my hair I woke up this morning to a very flaky scalp. Guess I'll have to start over, UGH!
That happened to me, thank god we’re in quarantine rn and since no one is up I’m my hair for the week, it’s gonna have to wait til next wash day
4 years later and these are still excellent tips! 💯👍🏽
I love...love...love...this video. Thank you so much for these tips.
Thank youuu. I never thought about using the same product line. And letting the leave in absorb. Okay i will do that. ❤❤❤❤
I test my products before I use them, have done since that Every Strand curl cream flaked in my hair (it flakes with *anything*, thankfully it has good enough hold on its own), and I am very careful also not to be heavy handed because that in itself can do a lot!
These are great tips! Thank you. I never let the leave in soak in first. I’m definitely going to try that! I do put on oil and you are right it definitely helps!
Thanks for the tips! I was about to toss that TGIN twist and define cream. I think I’ll try the skip the leave in for it, I was going straight from leave (not in the product line) to the cream. Thanks again for these insightful tips!!
Your hair is amazing!!
Great video concept, very informative!
I used dark and lovely shampoo and deep conditioner (for naturals) last night. This morning I used cantu leave in conditioner before putting in a lot of small bantu knots. I wanted to see if my hair could hold up without putting more than the leave in following wash day. So far so good. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for this and all your videos!!! I️ use the palm test too. But, I️ also make sure my hair is soaking wet and I️ do the LCO method.
Sounds like really great advice not to use Eco styler on its own and allow my leave-in product to dry before applying my gel. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t follow the LOC method, I do leave in then cream then gel, but when you said give your leave in time soak in, it dawned on me that maybe I should wait an hour to apply my gel instead of doing it right out of the shower. Then two I only notice flakes in the front but that’s where I apply the most gel. Mainly because my front tends to get frizzy fast. Great tips, thank you! 😊
I totally agree that foaming doesn’t always equal flakes. I absolutely LOVE combining the Inspire By Made Beautiful kids line leave in with any Eco styler gel. That leave in foams like crazy, but it absorbs very well & very quickly in the hair & NEVER EVER flakes. It also helps my hair retain moisture with just those two products for a week or more.
Your hair looks amazing here!!
As always I love your videos. Could you do a video, blog or IG post about how much hair you lose during washing? I used to use a good amount like long strands. Thought I’d be bald but it’s toned down. I’d be interested to see your thoughts on shedding/hair loss during washing.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! I have been using my leave-ins as my styler because I only need one product for my wash and go's. I use my creams, souffles, foams or my gels especially ECO style gels on my naked hair. I know for you and others don't benefit from it but for my hair it does wonders. I love your tips it helps a lot.
Awesome tips!
I've realized that by styling my hair only when it's dripping wet/damp I prevent flakes/crumbs. To be honest the only thing I've gotten flakes with is Cantu products - they're just not good anymore. I use Eco Styler a lot but I always make sure to use it on properly moisturized hair - that oils tip definitely works wonders! Thanks!
Chloé-Ana Braidy what product do you pair with Eco?
This video came at the right time. You sure you can’t read minds? LOL. My hair is currently in a protective style but I’m really warming up to the idea of attempting a wash and go for the first time. I have some gels I want to try out but was always deterred by the thought of flaking. Thanks for these tips, can’t wait to put them to use!
Your profile picture omg 😂😂😭😭😭
gigglyfitzgirl 😹😹😹
Thank you for being professional and not cussing!
I am so big into seeing us (Black folks) using & proudly displaying our full, curly hair that can have body & bounce like yours. I'm new to letting my hair grow and making my curls hang downward instead of their natural inclination to stand tall (LOL). But leave in conditioner tends to stay white, and mouse tends to "crisp" up too much and I lose the length that I see with the leave in conditioner. Now I'm searching for a combo that will give me body, length and no crunchy crips or flakes.
A tip that I have is to not touch/stretch your hair much, if even at all, during the drying process. I've noticed that if I start the drying process and I touch my hair I would get flakes. I have done the same wash and go multiple times and noticed when I didn't touch my hair at all until it was dry, I had no flakes. But when I touched it or stretched it when wet it would flake up towards my roots. (I'm low porosity and my roots take forever to dry)
However I do believe that sometimes flakes are a sign that your hair in specific may not like a product or specific ingredients in a product. For instance my hair doesn't like eco styler gel. It flakes no matter what. I've tried it all (leave ins. Oils. Both at once. The gel by itself. Using a little.) But always got flakes. I decided to try other products and my hair never gets flakes anymore. I'm currently using aunt Jackie don't shrink when I do use gel for extra hold. When I go back to eco. I get flakes. I've just taken it as a sign my hair doesn't like the products. The only one that's pretty do able from eco styler in my hair is the JBCO one.
Thx so much for the tips! I also notice that when I'm too heavy handed with my creme products/stylers, it can cause flaking. Products smell so good, sometimes it's so hard to resist! I have to remind myself that in many cases, less is more.😊
Me too!
I actually really need this. Although I've been natural for quite some time. I'm natural and now wearing my hair out with no wigs or weaves. So now I'm testing and using more products and the struggle for me is always battling flakes. I really appreciate these tips
Awesome! I hope this helps! NOBODY likes flakes 😩
@@FinallyAmber flakes suck. U have to basically ruin the curl/coil pattern that u just took all that time to get going just to get them out.
This was so helpful because i paired tgin leave in with with mielle organic hair milk and my hair came out today so moisturize & defined but a little flaking in the front. Maybe me not using an oil is why
I bought softee hair growth oil at Walmart loved the product ,but not the smell. So I went to find another hair oil to replace it looking for something all natural and little to no odor. I picked up bronner brothers Jamaican black casor oil with rosemary hair oil for about two dollars more and 1 extra ounce. The oil had nothing artificial little to no smell. It came with a spray top, but I was able to replace it with the softee growth oil top and it fit well to use directly on the scalp. I looked at the ingredients that were great, but I itch when I use essential oils, but was hoping I would get lucky. I put this oil on my hair and scalp and it felt so refreshing and clean. I had a little product build up and flakes before using it , and I swear it ate it away in seconds leaving my hair shiny ,healthy and clean. One of the ingredients is eucalyptus and I think that had everything to do with it. I had to give the product up because I was a itchy mess, but this literally cleaned the build up and flakes away. Please try this product for that purpose if nothing else. It is a cure for this problem that happens to us all trying these products. I was amazed. Still in disbelief.
I use no drip curl moisturizer under eco gel. I will be using garnier fructis sleek and shine leave in under eco gel doing the winter. I hope those two work together.
more organic products (like shea moisture) are more likely to mix well with other products than products with synthetic ingredients
Notification Squad lol 🤗
SQUUUUUUUUUAAAAAD!
What’s up cousins 😂 subscribed
thank you im going to try them tomorrow on my wash day. skip the leave in,
Your hair looks beautifull 😃
I tried product isolation with as I am and my hair was sooooo flaky. I went to work like that! lol I had to wash it out right after work. I just can't go back from eco styler
I wish I saw this video before i tried doing my first wash and go because right now I’m in FlakeCity. What to do when you already have Flakes?
I recently stopped using gels. I’ve been doing just fine with Paul Mitchell Styling Pomade over a leave in conditioner.
If it works for you, that’s great! 👌🏾
excellent tips
I love your intro bc Tupac is a legend!!
You get a like 👍🏾 just based on that intro alone!
What if ur only using one gel( I’m only using clear eco styling gel)
On the way out the door and notice flakes on the black top. What quick fix could I use in that moment.
I noticed that thick creamy products or conditioners like Aussie cause flakes my hair likes fluffy watery conditioners like organix so I stopped wasting my money and tons of products and only use 2 conditioners and 1 gel my hair stays so sooofttt and moisturized🙌🌸 Less is sometimes more
Life saver
thnx 4 the tips, gd video
2:00 Palm Test if u mix the gel w another turns clear u can use it (there's exceptions)
2:54
I don’t use leave in at all, too drying for my hair, my hair doesn’t like all that protein in leave in.
I love your southern draw
The Eco Styler Olive Oil gave me flakes but friend told me to use edge booster
Letting the live In soak makes sense, however, doesn’t the hair get dry … what do I do? I use Eco btw and I love it. My hair is 4c and it’s the only thing that pops my curls.
hello Boo...great video~
Do you think using a sulfate shampoo will cause flaking?
I always put in cantu custard right after a wash but still after a day is start to becoming white and start flaking
I never get any flakes because I cocktail all of the products I'm going to use before I put it in my hair, even if it's from the same line.
Do you mean you mix them all forget before applying the mixture to your hair? I would have never thought to do that.
I really want to try the oil tip! Just to be 100% are you saying I should apply my cream, then eco styler, then apply oil and that will help with flakes?
leen A yes
No, i think she said you do the styler then the oil so it's not in direct contact with the gel
I did my first wash and go because of flakes i wash it out and did twist out... cantu products is a savage on my. I just went natural and i am regretting already 😂😂😂😂
I use Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie it makes my hair flake
Same!!! I used to use it alllll the time and it was my go to product but now it flakes like crazy! I think they changed the ingredients 🤨
I did a salt water rinse and that stopped my hair from flaking
Could you elaborate on this process?
What's a salt water rinse?
I just got the olive oil eco styler and I noticed that I had flakes ...I want to know what I can do to prevent this next time without spending money on buying new hair gel ?
Same
You know what is crazy is that I never experience flaking in my hair. I am product conscious and I add just enough product for my hair to be moisturized. I never use eco styler gel because my hair does not like it. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that people experience flaking because I notice that it is mentioned amongst bloggers who frequently use eco styler gel.
If you don't experience flaking then that's great! I'm not sure why you even wasted your time with this video then girl 🙂
Finally Amber I just like to watch your videos no matter what is is 💕👍🏽 I’m sorry if it came off annoying but I thought maybe the eco styler could be causing some flaking. God bless
Anise Meena what do you use for hold?
I get embarrassed in school because people keep saying oh you have dandruff but it is kind of upsetting me because I know it’s not, it’s just dried up products so I just have to deal with it
chile get you some good products that mix well together! Flakes in public are a inevitable SOMETIMES, but don't have to be an all the time thing! ❤️
i literally have TGIN and eco in my hair and i’m sitting here with clumps in my head. Kms
Ive discovered that diffusing my hair causes flaking. When i ary dry with the same products, it doesnt flake at all
Blue magic. It's softer . But the white look is not cute. Maybe hair dryer.. thanx
I'ma try that, I can't get the curl definition I like if I don't use a lot of gel mixed with
Hi
I am so impressed by this wig. It's beautiful
ArisuWaShindeIru it’s not a wig
but i have braaids
If you use leave conditioner in your hair and blow dry it out will the method still work ?
You sound like Tisha from love and marriage Huntsville. Kinda look like her also!
I agree! I mix my gel with my hair smoothie and it dries clear. No flakes at all
Names?
Flaxseed gel makes flakes w everything
Try a different gel
Man being natural is so much harder then I thought a white lady at my job called
My shrinkage bald head 🤦🏾♀️

Did she just say “wassup cousins”
Can’t even hear some of the words you are saying #annunciate
