Ecostyler Olive Oil
This gel has no harsh ingredients its cheap but it doesn't work for everyone. For some women it is holy grail status, it will always be in the bathroom, you will never leave sally's without one even though you have an unfinished jar at home. For others it might flake, or just not be up to par, it really just depends . Either way the green made the list and it is kinky* girl approved.Kinky Curly Curling Custard
Mirror mirror on the wall who is the kinkiest most expensive of them all? This gel holds its own in terms of being super healthy for your hair, great hold and minimal flaking.
The only thing that is a little touchy about it, is the price. While all the others are under $10.00 this bad boy is a tad bit beyond that. For some girls this is a staple they don't mind spending that coin, so it really is just up to you and what you like.Flax Seed Gel
Speaking of healthy, how about some flaxseed gel? This one reminds me of aloe vera, super healthy great for edges, gives you some hold without all the stiffness and best of all, you can just boil up a batch when you run out. Along with aloe vera this a definite must have for our kinky* haired chicas.Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Styling Gel with sparkle lites
Back in 08 when all the newbie natural girls decided to experiment with a little gel this was probably the first one they bought. We loved it because it had great hold and none of the bad stuff that some commercial gels have in them. The thing about this gel is the shine, some of us like a little glisten here and there, some of us might not, if you do, well this gel delivers. They don't say it has sparkle lites for nothingEcostyler Krystal
Cheap and great for definition, again, a personal choice because to be quite honest we all have our eco styler gel* faves and eco krystal might be one of them. It has great hold and will fit the bill when it comes to a fabulous wash and go.III Sisters Of Nature Curling Gelo
Some describe it as 'the truth' others cant get beyond the smell when you are diffusing your hair but all in all the reviews are not bad. The label says it elongates your curls, well that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but hey we all do that right? Great hold, not as strong as the Eco's but enough to make the list.Curls Unleashed Set it Off Curl Boosting Jelly
This gel works well and gives a soft hold and not as much definition as the other ones we mentioned. We like this gel though because you can work with it if you are creative. For example if you want soft hold and tons of shine, mix this gel with some olive oil* and a splash of aloe vera juice* to make it into a creamy moisture rich holding cream.Ecostyler Protein (Brown One)
Some say this is the best of the bunch some beg to differ. If you have never tried brown gel don't sleep on this one, it really is amazing. Great hold, great definition and just an all around good gel to have in your arsenal.Aloe Vera Gel
Did you really think we could have a post about gels and Aloe Vera not make the list? We don't care what hair type you are, this gel is just down right healthy for your hair. Sure, you will not get maximum hold but if you don't care about that but you just want something that gives you some hold with a ton of other benefits then this one is for you. Sometimes we want just a bit of pizazz added to the curls without the strong hold so for that this gel is perfect.

MY favorite!❤
Oliver oil eco style gel is great but I had to stop using it. The ingredient “Yellow 5” in the gel gives me headaches unfortunately… Be careful ladies.
OMG I’m glad I clicked to read the comments cause I’ve been having bad headaches for like a week now and this is the only gel that I use soo now I’m wondering if I’m having the same issue as you were thank you for sharing
Denise Bee maybe we’re experiencing the same thing because it took me a while to realize this was happening to me. I thought I was just prone to headaches but when I stopped using Olive oil eco style gel, I had no more headaches. I’ve switched to the pink eco style gel and it’s much better but I suggest you do a test patch on your edges with the olive oil gel and if you only get headache in that area then it’s definitely the gel.
I used it sometime for my softly kinky curl
All Eco flakes on me, even when used alone. Egyptian 24K gel works, it flakes but gold flakes … that are actually in the product. ???????? I’d prefer gold over white.
ShiShi Maze it flakes on me too just like the cheap gel I might have to look up that kind you just mentioned
“Mane Choice” Egyptian 24K or the Bold Buttery Gel. Curls pop or Slick hold, they help you accomplish both.
This can be bad for your hair, it breaks it astronomically it did mine to the extent my hair covered my carpet.
It flakes very bad… nope I will never buy again
