Hope you enjoyed this review/first impressions of this Don't Shrink Flaxseed Gel. I will update you all if I somehow like the product after a few days lol (I doubt it) ❤️ stay tuned to my channel, I'll be doing something fun to my hair in a few days!
Hazel Goddesss I'll be honest...this is the 1st product that I bought of which the results made me SOOO MAD that I chunked it in the trash when I was done. I have 3c/4a-ish hair. It dried my hair out so bad and made my hair ball up on the ends.
I love the product. I didn't have any flaking or any issues. But, I also used their "quench" leave in conditioner before applying so this could also be why I didn't have any frizz. That leave in is amazing.
I loved the product. It didn't dry out my hair or leave a crunch. The weird part is... It works better than eco styled gels for my hair. Lol my hair is werid
Maya Benson My hair hates eco styler gel too. It's too thick and drying to my hair even when I put a leave in conditioner. It also flakes with certain products
I love this product. It is the only thing of like20 products I've tried to get a wash and go. It's the first time in 3 and a half years of being natural been able to do a wash n go. I hope they never stop making this product. The curl enhancing smoothies and all of that don't work. If curl sufflees. It doesn't elongate the hair but my hair stays super moisturizer for days.
I use this gel only because eco styler burns my scalp for some off reason. It's not bad. Day one buns are nice but it does dry out and you will have to remoisturize and add more product to refresh. But it's never hard and the smell is nice. I have 4c hair
I luv aunt jackies geln their edge control. It dont flake on my hair but it dont elongate my hair. My hair supa coarse n wooly. I also use their intense deep treatment. Luvit!!!ur hair is life n beautiful . Gorgeous.😍
Makes my hair super hard and crunchy but I have a TWA and need the crunch to survive the Florida humidity. I love this gel way more than eco but you'll hate it if you don't like crunchy hair. I don't mind it. And the definition is so bomb!!
When you use it with the quench or the curl la la it isn't crunchy but I do agree that have to use a whole lot of the product for wash and go's which I absolutely hate. I usually just use it for twist outs which works great for me
Same as you. Definition was popping, I like the consistency but the hair stays hard. I didn't like how my hair felt the entire week I wore my wash and go. I will finish it but won't re-purchase.
I had same result until i tried again my second time I used this gel and it wasn't crunchy. It's best to use a curling cream like curl maker, Cantu coconut curling cream etc on damp hair then apply gel & a bit of oil. To me theirs no "elongating" unless you can't a frizzy look
I think that gel is very hair type specific. My friend gets the elongated look and I did too on my loose curls, but like you said, I had to use more on thicker parts of my hair so there was not elongation there.
I really enjoyed using this gel for my wash and go. I did notice that I did have to use a bit more of this product to get my curls to be nice and juicy and without frizz like you said. But I also used more water and to me when my hair dried it had a softer hold than in the sections I didn't apply more water.
I didnt notice you reviewed this product. But yea my first video was done on her products. The only product i liked from the stash i used was the curl boss from the coconut line because my hair was dry. I gave those products to my little sister whos also natural. But yest I purchased the dont shrink gel and i will be trying it out today😊 hope it works for me
I have no clue if you'll see this but I have a HUGE favor to ask of you. My hair absolutely hates eco styler gel, no matter what I do it just clumps in the back and frizzes at the crown of my hair. I always watch your videos because we have very similar hair types but I was wondering if you ever used just straight Aloe Vera Gel? I tried it a couple time and it worked out for me similar to how yours looked in this video but would you be willing to try just plan Aloe Vera Gel, or any products that have it in it? I'd love to find more products along those lines. (ALSO, you are my hair inspiration, Love all that you do!!)
This was one of the first styling gels I tried as a natural and I didn't like it either. I had pretty much the same problem. Didn't like that it mad my hair hard. I didn't care for the shrinkage either lol. I've only used one styling gel that actually elongated my curls. I'm not saying what it is cause it's HORRIBLE for your hair. Long story short I dont do wash-n-go styles anymore 😣😂
I used to love the product but it doesn't curl my roots anymore. It'll give a curl to the ends. I loved when it gave me great definition. My hair has jus t got too used to it. The roots would be dry and the rest defined.
Gels with flaxseed extract added to it just doesn't compare to actual homemade flaxseed gel imo. I would use everything else in that line, and use the real deal as a styler. I personally recommend experimenting with the homemade version because it's one of the cheaper/easier DIYs out there. And I think it's one of those products that everyone should at least once just to see if your hair likes it.

Hazel Goddesss all of aunt Jackies products dried out my hair SO bad. Something in them just hates my hair and wants it to die lol
iPikastars lol my hair isn't dried out thank god, but it's crunchy which I hate. It'll be dried out by tomorrow I bet 😭

Hazel Goddesss i have 3b/c hair...i bought this product but i don't see any difference..only dryness
I bought this last year and it turned my natural hair into a natural helmet.
😂😂😂

20DaysofJune I'm dying😂😋😋

I can not use aunt Jackie products I have tried and my hair be like girl NO.... lol... but true.
Veta Littlejohn crazy lol I heard all good reviews until I finally try it 😭 I was fooled

I love this gel. Best wash and gos ever with it!
This is my favorite gel for a wash and go
Makes my hair super hard and crunchy but I have a TWA and need the crunch to survive the Florida humidity. I love this gel way more than eco but you'll hate it if you don't like crunchy hair. I don't mind it. And the definition is so bomb!!
It seems like every time you don't like the product we end up loving your results though! Lol
+Cierra Foster I've noticed that too lol I wasn't gonna upload this because I know everyone would think I'm crazy lol
When you use it with the quench or the curl la la it isn't crunchy but I do agree that have to use a whole lot of the product for wash and go's which I absolutely hate. I usually just use it for twist outs which works great for me
+Haylee 95 I mixed the two together and it kind of clumped (the curl la la) so I decided not to use it
Same as you. Definition was popping, I like the consistency but the hair stays hard. I didn't like how my hair felt the entire week I wore my wash and go. I will finish it but won't re-purchase.
I love Aunt Jackies flaxseed gel because its not drying, and I can keep putting it on my hair daily without it feeling like I have a ton of buildup.
I tried it and didn't really care for it either. It left a crunch and you're completely right you have to use a lot of it to eliminate the frizz.

Your hair looks bomb though.
+Taylor Danae' everyone always loves my hair no matter what lmao but it was still crunchy, and I hated it ugh 😭
Hazel Goddesss yeah my hair look good like yours the first day then flakey and crunchy the next I had to wash it. It was yucky lol.
I think that gel is very hair type specific. My friend gets the elongated look and I did too on my loose curls, but like you said, I had to use more on thicker parts of my hair so there was not elongation there.
I really liked this product, it elongated my curls but did leave a crunch! 🙂

I have this gel too, I don't like it as much either. It states don't shrink but it seems to me that it makes my hair shrink even more.
I just brought their coconut gelee version and it goes on good. Never tried the flaxseed one but I think the coconut one might be better.
I love this product. ❤️ And as usual your hair looks amazing.
I love this stuff!! It elongates my hair. Your hair looks great!
Notification gang ♥️

I loved this gel but, the tub is just too small for my hair.
I saw this in dollar general glad I didn't get it I don't like crunchy hair...great video😘🙌
It's very defined just not a shiny.Myself I like a bit of crunch.I thought you tried the Echo with flaxseed in it before
I've so been wanting to try out this gel
I actually had hope for this product
Man never again! I love the fact that it defined my curls like no other but the shrinkage what disrespectful😂
This was one of the first styling gels I tried as a natural and I didn't like it either. I had pretty much the same problem. Didn't like that it mad my hair hard.

Your hair looks great but did it leave flakes after it dried?! I'm looking for a gel that doesn't leave flakes SOS lol
I used to love the product but it doesn't curl my roots anymore. It'll give a curl to the ends. I loved when it gave me great definition. My hair has jus t got too used to it. The roots would be dry and the rest defined.

I love your hair ❤️ #HairGoals
Jerrisha Hamilton thanks ❤️
i check your channel and find that you not update the video long time . why ?
Its almost 9$ where i bought it from
That line dried my hair out 😩
I really dislike that gel
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If your hair was wet to damp you wouldn't have to use as much product..
My hair was damp. Only do wash and gos on wet/damp hair
I dont like it it makes your hair crunchy and dry looking
If i remember correctly it made my hair flake
+Pamela Jones a lot of people said that. I didn't get any flaking at all. Thank god but hair was dry lol

Jasmine Denson I know it was still click bait
