Eco Style Styling Gels in UAE — Complete Range Guide at IBS Beauty
Updated: 2 days ago
Why Eco Style is the UAE's Go-To Styling Gel
Eco Style is one of the most versatile, reliable, and long-standing styling gel brands in the natural and multicultural haircare market — trusted by hairdressers and natural hair enthusiasts across the Caribbean, USA, and increasingly the Middle East for its holding power, non-flaking formula, and range of ingredient-enriched variants. In the UAE, where heat and humidity test every styling product to its limit, Eco Style has earned a loyal following because it holds definition in Dubai's outdoor conditions without reverting to frizz the way lighter gels do.
IBS Beauty stocks the most comprehensive Eco Style range in the UAE — with six gel variants covering different hold levels, ingredients, and styling applications. Here is the complete guide to choosing the right Eco Style gel for your hair type and UAE lifestyle.

Full Eco Style Gel Range at IBS Beauty
1) Eco Style Argan Oil Styling Gel (8 oz & 16 oz) — Most Popular
The bestselling Eco Style gel at IBS Beauty — and one of the top-performing product pages in IBS Beauty's entire catalogue. Argan oil enrichment provides deep conditioning alongside the gel's hold, meaning this variant defines and strengthens simultaneously. The gold colour signals the argan oil concentration. Works beautifully on wash-and-go styles, twist-outs, and sleek styles. Ideal for those who use gel multiple times per week and want the conditioning benefit of argan oil accumulated over time.
2) Eco Style Olive Oil Styling Gel (8 oz) — Best for Natural Hair
Olive oil's deep penetrating properties make this variant the best Eco Style option for thick, natural hair types (3B–4C) that need both hold and ongoing moisture conditioning. The olive oil creates a second conditioning layer on the hair shaft alongside the gel's hold — ideal for those who find other gels dry out their natural hair over the course of the day.
3) Eco Style Coconut Oil Styling Gel (8 oz & 16 oz) — Best for Coily Hair
Coconut oil's moisture-penetrating properties combined with Eco Style's firm hold create an ideal gel for type 4 coily hair that needs maximum moisture retention alongside definition. The coconut oil in the formula continues to moisturise as the gel dries — reducing the dryness that often follows gel application on high-porosity coily hair in UAE's dry climate.
4) Eco Style Curl & Wave Styling Gel (16 oz & 32 oz) — Best for Waves
Formulated specifically for 2A–3C curl and wave patterns — the Curl & Wave variant provides definition and flexible hold without the stiffness of a standard firm-hold gel. Delivers defined, natural-looking waves and curls that move rather than appearing hard-set. Available in large formats ideal for regular wash day use.
5) Eco Style Krystal Styling Gel (8 oz & 16 oz) — Best for Sleek Styles
The clearest, cleanest Eco Style gel — the Krystal formula provides the firmest hold in the range with a hard-set, glassy finish when dry. Ideal for sleek ponytails, buns, and precisely styled edges where maximum grip and a polished look are the priority. Pairs perfectly with edge brushes for defined baby hair and edge styling.
6) Eco Style Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Styling Gel (16 oz) — Best for Growth
Jamaican black castor oil (JBCO) and flaxseed oil are both growth and strengthening ingredients — combining them in a styling gel means every time you style, you are also feeding your scalp and follicles. The black castor & flaxseed variant is the Eco Style gel for those who prioritise hair health alongside definition.
Also Available: Eco Style Gold Styling Gel (8 oz)
How to Apply Eco Style Gel in UAE's Climate
Apply to soaking wet hair — Eco Style gel activates and distributes best on very wet hair. The wetter the hair, the better the definition and the less likelihood of flaking.
Rake through sections from root to tip using fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Scrunch upward for curls and waves — or smooth downward with a brush for sleek styles.
Air dry or diffuse on low heat. Do not touch until the gel is completely dry — this is the most common mistake that causes frizz.
Once fully dry: scrunch gently with clean palms to break up the gel cast and release soft, defined results.
UAE humidity tip: On very humid outdoor days, seal the outside of the gel-defined style with a light oil (argan or jojoba) to prevent the gel from absorbing excess atmospheric moisture and reverting.
Eco Style Gel vs Other Styling Gels at IBS Beauty
Eco Style's key advantage over many alternatives at IBS Beauty (Shine N Jam, Gelessence, Big Poppa) is the ingredient enrichment — the argan, olive, coconut, and castor oil variants actually improve hair health with regular use, rather than just providing hold. For users who apply gel multiple times per week, the cumulative conditioning benefit of Eco Style adds up significantly over time.
