Eco Styler Gold Olive Shea Butter Black Castor And Flaxseed Gel
Four oils in one jar: pure olive oil, shea butter, black castor oil and flaxseed. That is Eco Styler's gold version, and it is the richest thing in the range.
The 236ml jar is aimed squarely at dry, frizz-prone natural hair that finds ordinary gel too thin.
Olive oil and shea butter carry the moisture, black castor and flaxseed add body to the hold, and the result sets firm without going brittle on you. The trade-off is weight, so fine hair will find it heavy going.
- Firm hold across updos, twists and defined curls
- Moisture that stays in the hair after the gel has dried
- Frizz kept down in damp weather
- Shine with no greasy surface
Best for type 3b through 4c hair, and particularly for anyone whose scalp feels tight after a lighter gel. It doubles as a setter for twist-outs on wash day.

Application tips
Four oils in one jar makes this the richest of the range, and the amount you use should reflect that. Half of what you would take from a clear gel is about right.
Wet hair, sectioned, smoothed down with flat palms and then scrunched. Give it longer to dry than you would a lighter formula. Keep the jar dry and scoop with clean fingers.
Results
Definition and moisture at the same time, which is the whole argument for the Gold version over the plain one. Dry, coarse and coily hair holds its shape for days without the brittle feel that a plain gel can leave.
Shine is rich rather than glassy. There is enough weight in it that fine hair will be flattened, so it is not a universal pick.
