my hair acting DIFFERENT with this product.. 

I would definitely pay the money for the look I desire. We spend so much money each year to find something that works! If you find it keep it. Save you from stress and time. Thanks Jess for sharing !

Am I the only one who think Jess be straight up having these types of convos with her hair. If I was the mirror I would be cracking up laughing 😂

After the air dry... I'd pass on the $30 one (Nuture). Difference wasn't dramatic enough for the commitment

At 17:13, where you said, “Comparison is the thief of joy,” was profound! Thank you! I’mma say DAT - a LOT!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The $30 gel has the same consistency as flaxseed gel to me. Flaxseed gel is good for your hair, cheap, and you can make it yourself.

Yea you took of that towel and I was like “ohhhhh don’t hurt em sis” Come on length!!

Both products are completely different to compare them. Nurture is a plant based gel and holds onto the moisture (water) you put in your hair. It’s similar to uncle funky. Eco gel is made of plastic and not the best for your hair in the long term. It just ends up drying up your hair and leave build up. It’s cheap but not the best for the hair. Your hair looks lovely.

In all honesty, I don’t think the $30 gel gave what it should. I think there are cheaper products out there that can give the same or better results. Thanks for the video ❤️

I actually didn't see much of a difference between the eco and curl cream vs the $30 one. The $30 one was slightly better but wasn't, wow, super dramatically better. I would just stick with the cheaper stuff.

The trick about the gel definition is the water, I use gel alot, I wash my hair and right after I hurriedly add the gel before it starts to dry out, I always mist it during the process to get it back wet. With all that I always get perfect curls and I only use gel no other products not even after its dry, just water to mist it 3 or 4 days after.

❤️🤩OKAY Mrs. Ma'am with the OFFICIAL Song Intro💃🏾🕺... I've been watching you FOR YEARS!!!! you've came a long way sweetie❤️❤️.. MANY many many more blessings coming your way!! And I'm right here for it!! Love You girl❤️❤️😍😍😍🥰🥰

I LOVE the theme song!!! I’m quite intrigued by the nurture gel!! I saw the difference and girl when you start using their technique on top of it …. It’s truly GAME OVER!!!

Your hair is so beautiful 😍… thank you for doing a side by side video on the two products… I’m somewhat new to the game. I recently cut my Locs and now I’m one year and 4 months into my journey…. I love watching your videos 😊

I agree with using the $30 gel for special occasions and the eco for every day situations. But on the other hand you don’t do wash n go every day any way. So, go for the gold! #beautyaintcheap#splurge

I feel like a hooded dryer or diffusing would have been helpful, sleeping on undried hair maybe skewed the results of both 🤷🏾‍♀️

You can tell Nurture is a plantbased gel filled with film forming humectants that will encourage hydration. On review there are some ingredients in the formulation that I would question(but I'm not a chemist) Glad you can see the results so clearly. Your hair will continue to behave differently and require less product over time with healthy product practices. :D

I have learned that it’s more about what the gel is doing for the health of my hair. Eco styler gel may look good/great, however, has chemical components that are damaging to the hair.

I like the comparison videos Jess! Thank you for sharing! With no leave and no cream the $30 gel, did its thang! I can't use eco it gives me headaches. I do love the TGIN styling gel is my fav right now. Blessings!

Not Jess giving us a 22 minute video. I'm here for it! As for the gel, ain't no way I'm paying that much for that little bit of gel. I don't like my hair that much! LOL

$30 for 6 ounces of gel or even 8 ounces is a no for me. I have too much hair to have such a small bottle especially when there are gels like Uncle Funky's, Camille Rose, and Curls has gels that run about $5 for a bottle that give amazing definition.

I have used Nurture gel 3 times and I like it. I find it works best on soaking wet hair so I usually apply in the shower. The spray bottles never really accomplish that. It is a water locking gel so the more water the better. Also I work up from the ends to the root. Last but not least setting the hair under a hooded dryer until about 50% dry will do wonders. The amount of Plastics in gels like eco styler and wetline makes it a no for me. I just got a taper cut so I'm sure I'll get at least 2-3 more uses of Nurture. Also if you have to use more of a cheaper gel and or another product, it isn't as cheap.

I got my hair done by the Hydro Salon. Amazing results! The results lasted me 3 weeks. They teach you everything. No flaking. I bought the gel and just tried it myself, wish me luck!

Lol. I LOVE your commentary skills. You are hilariously-expressive. I immediately loved the results of the $30 hair gel.

I love to see the transformation and the differences. Yes I would definitely stick with the Hydra bar product because there's no point of even having the frizz and putting up with that because even over a period of time it will probably get frizzier.. The more expensive one in this case is much much better. It's absolutely amazing it's beautiful on you!!!

I always had great definition with Eco. Except for my front (bangs area). I would seriously consider using the $30 gel just for my trouble area and Eco on the rest. Enjoyed your video, tfw.

Jess!! I am so with you on the gel on freshly washed hair thing!! Certainly one of the main reasons I rarely do wash and goes. 😬😩

The way that you speak and your commentary is absolutely hilarious! These are the conversations that I have with myself on every wash day. I’m happy I stumbled onto your channel. 😍👍🏾

Love love love your commentary...guuurl, at this point who cares what that stuff is giving! You're flatout fabulous and you're hair is stunning ❤️

Thank you for going through the trials for us. I would likely NOT have just tried the $30 gel without knowing someone else tried it and the look. That being said, I will stick to Eco and my moisture product. I like TW Curly Curl but it seems to flake on my hair with the gel. Thanks again Jess!

I think I will stick with the TGIN miracurl gel. It's like $14.99 and never fails my 4a/4b curls. But I do appreciate the time you spent doing this. Love your personality and hair.

Jessssss!!! You put me on with this new gel!! This is by far my best wash n go ever! Nurture Water Locking Gel does exactly what it says! I hope they pay you because I just ordered a second jar tonight after using it for the first time today. I don’t even feel bad about the spend- it is worth every penny!

Aunt Jackie’s quench and gel is my suppa starr combo, thanks to you! I also water down the quench and carry it a travel spray bottle to fix any frizziness after your recommendation, Jess. My curls are perfection thanks to you!

“I’m not going to discredit y’all just because we got company” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but this was helpful! Been doing wash and go’s and have yet to perfect it! I didn’t even think to try the good ole eco

Hey Jess, I purchased and used the Nurture gel, however I watched the video from the Hydra Bar Salon RU-vid Channel and saw how the owner applied the gel. It’s the July 17, 2021 video. She made sure her hair was soaking wet, sectioned off her hair and again, on soaking wet hair, used the gel that was first emulsified in her hands and applied gel starting at the ends to lock in the water that was dripping and working her way up. She did each section(4-5) then used a wet brush to smooth and detangle hair in smaller sections and racked her fingers through it. Curls poppin. I watched a few times before I did my hair. My hair looked amazing. The curls were poppin even after a week but I wanted to stay on my routine. I purchased the 6 oz, $30 jar, but they now have a 8 oz $45 jar. I used half the product. She says she can get several uses out of it because she knows how to use it properly. I’m no stylist I got two. Even though it was amazing as far as the curls, it was a little bit dry. I have high porosity hair so maybe the next time I can try to use more water. After rewatching one of the videos on the channel I saw that she added more water after applying the gel. So I’ll do that next time. Also, I always sit under the dryer so that my curls will set when I do a WNG. I hope you try again using her method. You will be amazed. I loved it but I would want the 8 oz jar but for $45 I can get at least two 8 oz containers of the other expensive gels I like. I want to use a product more than 2 or three times.

First time on this channel. Jess is an amazing, intelligent, beautiful lady!!! I here feeling happy and proud. Lool but for real.

Love your intro!! Your hair is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!

Jess talking to her hair with gel is so wholesome "you know who you are"

Thank you for your review! ❤️. It’s always a pleasure to have your support. I would encourage you to apply the Nurture Gel on dripping wet hair in the shower. It’s formulated to be water locking. Thank you 😊

i died every 5 seconds, youre hilarious & so realistic & relatable. lmao im still laughin at “aint no roaches in here or nothin” thank YOU for not giving robotic ass cookie cutter content.

Ain’t no roaches in hea or nothing!! I am so thru wit u Jess 😂😂😂😂😂

Nope! No ma’am I’ll take Eco or Mane Choice , the Pearly Braid Out Glaze “to me” performs just like that $30 gel. And for ONLY 6 oz they tried it who has a 6 oz head, only if you have cut all your hair off and just have enough to brush. Thanks for the video Jess💜💜

I like the $30 gel simply because I have a hard time find products to work with my hair. So when I find it I would go with it. It looks so much better. Thanks for this comparison.

👍🏾Thanks for the products comparison, I've tried Eco gel on my Naturalistas clients, same results😯 Keep thriving, shining & inspiring Sis👑 BeY❤️🖤💚U

the shrinkage defense is UP THEREEE 🤩🙌🏼

I knew the $30 was finna give. I looked for gels with that consistency cause they give me the best results. The main gels I use are the mane choice tropical moringa and the do it fro the culture. They give me bomb results and also has that slimy sticky texture. It gives bomb definition with little to no crunch

Thank you so ver much. This was an excellent video. My take is: The $30 looks quite a bit better at the time of application but there is no difference after it dries. There is definitely not enough difference to pay $30 instead of $3. Sometimes I feel like we Black women get exploited when it comes to our hair.

🤣🤣Jess girl i hollered when u took your bonnet off - your fascial expression almost took me out 🤣.. thank you sweetie for this review 🥰

I really like & enjoy your presentation. I would buy both & mix them together w my own herbal blends. Yes! ThankU! I subscribed because your video is informative & your humor is on pointe! Your self-talk is so kool! PS: Love your hair without any goop!

YT Nieceyyyy! Your hair is gorg, as always and thank you for spending YOUR coins to show us this product. But you KNOW we are not about that $30 gel life. It would need to have multiple uses like, shampoo, co-wash, leave-in, styler AND GEL for me to purchase. And that's probably not gonna happen. Lol. The most I have spent on a product for curls was the Camille Rose Curl Maker. And I only purchase that with a 40% off coupon from CVS. I get those every 5 days. I'm thrifty. 😩

Lol, you better sing your own song! Yes ma'am. The $30 side looked great but that is a but expensive for gel. I haven't had success with Eco much either, so I still need to find something that works well. Sometimes Shine and Jam does pretty well on my Type 4 hair. Great video Jess!

I love your intro song Jess!!! Great video... had me crackin' up!!! I would choose both. One for a good payday and the other for while I wait for another good payday to come. Lol

I LITERALLY be tryna TELLLL people about the Curly Curl Cream. And you are LEGIT the first RU-vidr I’ve ever seen talk about it. It does something soooo different for my hair that literally NO OTHER product does for my hair. CURLY CURL CREAM IS LIFE! I never not have stock in my house. My hair can’t live right without it.

I have a curl in that exact same spot in the back that coils so beautifully no matter what I put on it!!! I just wish it would talk to the rest of the hair on my head!!!😂🤣😂 Love the video!!

Your hair curls up it looks so with both!! I would use the Eco gel because it looks good even in comparison. I've never used Curly curl cream, and I like! ✅ Check it!😀I enjoy your personality and watched the whole of this video too!! Thanks for sharing 🦋🤗

“I kinda can’t even tell 👀 okay I can tell !” 💀😂

LOL. All the little quotes are killing me, ur so funny🤣🤣

First and foremost great video, 💯❤️🎥 🥰 I love your smile 😊 and your energy and your patience! Even though they looked a bit similar I would say what is the long term effect on the $30 product? Even though it did not flake it appears to have more moisture, standing alone, and it makes me think it has something else to offer long-term. 👍 So I’m going to stand with the $30 product and I might give it a try myself. Thank you for sharing

The green eco is the one that will give you that look. This new product I love. Oh I can't wait to get this in my granddaughters hair.

Not the ‘gwooorl! This is niice. Ain’t no roaches in here or nothing.’ referencing. 😂😂😂

Great comparison. But I do feel that the Argan Oil one has a lighter hold than the Olive Oil. Maybe you should have compared the $30 one with Wetline. Also, Eco all day, every day!! Until I try another one that works for my 4C/4B coarse and fine strands.

I've never really done a wash n go. I think I have an issue with all that gel in my hair. They're cute tho. I pay high prices for hair products as long as they do what they claim..

I’m sold on the Nurture. Jess you did a wonderful presentation❤️💃🏽

First of all, love the video. The conversation WITH the hair was everything🤣

Hey Jess love love love your hair. Stick with the 30.00 gel. Curls are beautiful and so defined. Sometimes, sometimes pay a little extra for results like that. Beautiful.

I would go for the product with less damaging ingredients for my hair. The definition isn't worth it if it's going to be bad for my hair long term. They gave similar results, so I would go for the product with better ingredients rather than chase the perfect definition. Type 4 hair can be so easily manipulated into whatever style we want anyways, so I'm not too pressed about having the most definition.

Currently locd, but when I was a free natural I definitely would’ve purchased both products. Used the $30 for special occasions and the $3 for daily wash & goes. Btw, I’ve been natural since 2012 and I’ve FINALLY found my hair twin, lol. You & I have such similar textures. Glad I stumbled across your channel 🙌🏾

i love how you speak to your curls. it expresses your relationship with them as if theyre special people to you.

I watch mostly to hear you talk. You are hilarious 😂!!!!

That Curly curl cream is sooo good tho..... The first time I used it I did a wash and go with only the curly curl cream .... It so so good... Juicy and shiny, defined but softtttt

Yes, the separation of curls with ecostyle is so much sweeter, and yes flaking is a def 'NO' Girlie , you're doing the 'D' thang!!!!❤️ I have so many diff hair types on my head, that it's crazy🥴

Like girl! You had me keekeeing the whole time! You're hilarious... And GORG!.... Btw your teeth are giving the brightest aura I done ever seen lol supa who-ite!

I have the same results when putting my hair in a bonnet it after doing the wash and go but what I was trying to figure out was if the hair was dry when it was put in the bonnet that could’ve messed up some of the results for the $30 side and I think it would’ve looked a lot better if the hair was 100% dry before it was put in the bonnet for the night and when you pulled it off I’m pretty sure those curls on the $30 side would’ve been intact. Now me personally I have yet to find a gel that works on my 4A 4B curls especially Eco styler because it doesn’t work it’s super drying and my hair always looks puffy and frizzy after air drying no matter how much I glob on. For me I would give the $30 gel a try but I don’t see myself repeat buying it unless it was a miracle worker in my hair

I feel like the longer a person’s hair gets curls look “looser”/ more elongated and that’s why the hair typing thing is unreliable

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jess you are halarious “whose tryna pay 30 dollars I mean I might “

The $30 better give and gave and give gave again!!! Tuh! 😂😂😂

My 2 cents. Flaxseed diy has the same consistency! And it’s good for your hair, This what I like my Gel/curl definer to do! Camille Rose curl maker is what I use when I don’t want to make it👏🏽👌🏾❤️ I don’t do gel, natural over 20 yrs

The curly curl cream is the GAME CHANGER. I've used several gels with that and it cannot be outdone.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Not only would I buy it, but I actually DID order a jar while I watched your video. I will use for those times I want to wear my hair out and not pulled back in a scarf like I do most days. Living in Mississippi where summers are brutal as far as humidity. This will help when I'd like to wear my hair out without ending up looking like a birds nest. Really enjoyed your video. Learned some things and got a few chuckles. You've got a great personality.

You are absolutely hilarious Jess. Love it!

That $30 dollar side KILLED!! When you said the Eco side was embarrassing I was rollin🤣😂 it really wasn’t doing😂 Yeah $30 was the very clear winner but I wonder if you did a $10-20 better formulated gel what would it be? I see a mini series coming out of this lol

The expensive one I feel will do the best. Jess you should try Phamily haircare. It's costly, but I promise it is amazing! TFS

Thank you for this comparison video. Love your energy. Great video.

Just beautiful!👏 thanks for sharing. Very helpful.

Hi Jesss!!!🤗💖 I would buy the product that works best for my hair. In my opinion you saved money, because I'm sure that if stylist had styled your hair, it would've cost more than $30.00.

So I’ve used the $30 gel, the issues is you have to use a lot for longer hair but it last but it’s a one use type of gel. If you have long hair two jars will need to be purchased. I’ve used the gel and I love it but for only one use it’s a no for me. I have a jar under my sink it’s still has product in there but not enough for my whole head

Love when Jess uploads🥺 Okay time to watch😂

Your hair has grown girl!!! I just watched a few of your past videos…and wow!! Tell me, what exactly are YOU doing?! Please share. ☺️

Hello Jess I would definitely spend $30 or more especially if it's giving Fabulous curls. Love the new intro song.

Anybody else get mad when $30 products not filled all the way to the top 😂😂😂 In my honest opinion I'm going to need my hair to flake gold for a $30 gel

I love the commentary with the first person dialogue with the hair😆

Your personality is so dope omg.,,,yuh funny

I’m sticking with my boo, XTreme Wetline. She never lets me down!

Hey Jess, I've been loving your videos. I went to the website for this company and I'm realizing that they are following the model of Deva Curl which is the curling salon for folks with curly hair issues. Most of their clients are white, Hispanic or mixed race women (I've brought my mixed raced daughter there). I'm wondering if this company is spinning off from that. The technique with Hydration and lots of product. Good for them though!! I'm willing to try it if only to support the salon. Ultimately price is a real thing! I hate spending too much money hair stuff and cosmetics!! So I may try it once but will also head to my local drug store for more affordable products. Keep up the good work Jess. Love the comments too. Thanks all!

LOVE the change of background, or the new camera, or both. Before the white background was too bright, but this is perfect!

They both are a Hard Nooooo! Miss Jessie layered with Shea Butter Curl Activator is what I use. It last 3 days then you just refresh with water no product, because it can be sticky🥰

My hair didn’t do a wash n go look until I tried Photogenic gel. It used to be $35 +$7 shipping when I first bought it in 2018. Now I think it’s $70. It’s the best gel I ever used and made my hair grow a lot. It’s been a TOTAL game changer for me! & The good part is that it comes in a 32oz jar! So yes, 26oz more product! It’s been worth it to me.🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks for the video, the 30$ side did do better on your hair and I don’t do wash n go because I don’t like gel in my hair. But I’m going to start wash n go this spring so I will pay if it works. I might not try that one yet until I master the wash n go. But I love your personality girl you are so real I love it.lol

Your reaction had me crackin' up! I love your channel

Also, I got a NATURAL gel for you. Buy flaxseeds on a supermarket and boil some with water for about 20-25 mins and then just strain the seeds and take the liquid out. It’s natural and makes your hair grow so much and stay healthy. PLEASEEEE make a review on this.

There's no way I can put all that jell in my hair again. I've tried this before and it fills yucky and sticky, not to mention sleeping on this doesn't feel good. I couldn't wait to wash my hair. What I find that works for me is this brand ORS curls unleashed curl jelly the pink one. Your hair turned out nice and I could not spend $30 for gel.
