Curly Girl Friendly?
Non by a long shot. 😂

The Adept
It's taking everything in me to not reverse the order of this review and listing the bad before the skilful. But good news first, right?

The fragrance (although I am by no means a fan), does not linger in the pilus for long. Considering the consistency is not super thick, it soaks easily into my hair but doesn't altogether disappear. I tin definitely tell there is a leave-in conditioner at piece of work on my curls. The slip power is decent, although less than I idea it would be. I've had slippier leave-ins (like all of these), and then some.

<End of backhanded compliments>

Do y'all come across that definition?! Like, what the heck yo?!

I'ma only come right out and say information technology. The stuff WORKS. I don't know how. I don't know why. But information technology does. I paired it with my favorite Eco Styler (Argan Oil), and the results literally befuddled me. Non a frizz in sight on day 1 and day 2. My hair was shiny. Gel cast a little softer than normal without sacrificing hold. My pilus felt moisturized, and so much then that I didn't need to refresh on day 2.

By day 3, at that place was some frizz in my disrespectful areas (front/center and crown), but zip that made me throw the wash & go abroad and kickoff over. I've never been so disappointed that my hair looked so expert. I was confused and excited at the aforementioned time.

The Bad
:::cracks knuckles:::
Let's showtime with those 2 items I told you to think earlier. Get-go of all, I am admittedly, completely, and wholeheartedly offended that Eco Styler, who notoriously sells gel past the tubful for banana peels and leftover craven nuggets would dare fix their toll indicate for this leave-in at $10.99. Perchance I got swindled in the hood (I went to a beauty supply in Inglewood), but I fully walked in expecting to pay $five.99 at most for this leave-in. Merely there information technology was on the shelf, in all of information technology's $10.99 splendor.

The nerve.

Which takes me to my next point.

Deep down in my spirit, I know there is zip on this ingredient list that justifies the toll indicate. Don't get me wrong - I regularly pay over and above $10.99 for hair products. Only they're often handcrafted, or produced past small, Blackness owned businesses and contain superior natural ingredients that are elusive and expensive. I thought peradventure information technology was the STEPANQUAT ® DC1 stuff that collection up the price. I even chosen the company that makes it, but no 1 got dorsum in fourth dimension before I published this review. Then my feeling stands - the toll point is not justified by the ingredient list. And when I expect at the remainder of the Eco Styler products offered (there's a deep conditioner, beeswax, edge control, and oil), pricing holds at $ix.99 and college.

Starting time of all, who needs a total 8oz of 48-Hr Concord edge command?!

The only other production I was interested in was the deep conditioner, but the fragrance was so off-putting, I only walked away. I have no time for deep conditioners that aroma like Sis. Gladys that sits on the 2nd pew every Sunday morning afterwards a cigarette. Speaking of fragrance, I hate the way the Eco Styler Leave-In Conditioner smells. Information technology smells like an even more chemical-laden version of that God awful Victoria's Secret purple Love Spell spray everyone (myself included) wore in loftier school thinking we were beautiful and grown.

I'grand not impressed past the sideslip either. I thought for sure a product and then rich in silicone would give me the benefit of the slip. It was kinda in that location, but non enough for me to consider this a detangler. And while we're at it, allow me just say I find the packaging to be an absolute waste. The label is ugly. I legit hate looking at it.😂 And the spray nozzle was a bad phone call. Trying to spray on leave-in in the shower with moisture easily and moisture hair was a struggle, to say the to the lowest degree. Subsequently two sprays, I unscrewed the top and squeezed it out to apply. Not but did information technology glaze my pilus better, simply information technology took less time and energy than spritzing all over.

But these day 3 curls...😖

The Bottom Line
The packaging is an eyesore, and poorly idea out. The fragrance sucks, although information technology doesn't linger. All the good ingredients (argan oil, grapeseed oil, willowbark extract, mongongo oil, olive oil) are at the bottom of the list. The price is besides damn high. Only fifty-fifty with all that said - the Eco Styler Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Moisture Rich Exit-In Conditioner works. My pilus looked and felt amazing. Are the results worth it to waver on then many other things I care about? To be honest, I'thou not really sure.

I mean, I love a good hair day as much as the next natural. But at what cost (literally and figuratively)? I could say information technology's a terrible leave-in, and that would be factual. I could say it'southward a great leave-in, and that would concur true, too. I tin't telephone call it y'all. All I can say is try it at your own risk.

Would I Buy it Over again?
All things considered, no. Eco Styler did non come out the gates swinging with this one. I hope they go back to the drawing board and revisit this affair from the footing up. I'll be finishing out my bottle for sure, but non going dorsum for a re-upwards. I can think of better businesses to spend $ten.99 with - that don't issue in me calling a random chemical manufacturer. 😂

Aiight y'all. That's the good, bad, and ugly about the new Eco Styler Leave-In Conditioner. Volition yous be giving it a try? Permit me know in the comments below!
