 Lastly is... Welcome back to my channel. Thanks so much for tuning back in for another video. Today's video I'm going to show you some of my favorite edge controls. I know there are a lot of different edge controls out there but I want to show you my personal favorites, the ones that I gravitate to, the ones that stick in my hair stash, the ones that are in constant rotation when I'm doing my hair style of my hair. These are the ones I'm going to show you today. So I'm going to start from the bottom to the top. Bottom meaning I'm going to start with the ones that I like but I don't use as much as the ones I'm using now. But they just stay in my hair stash just in case I need to back up. Now the ones that I don't really use doesn't mean I don't like the edge control or that there's a problem because if I didn't like it I definitely wouldn't have bought it and it definitely wouldn't still be in my hair stash. So the first brand I'm going to start with is Byme Beautiful. I have two edge controls that they sent me some time ago and I still have them in my hair stash because when I first got them I loved them so so much and they were so amazing. They're still amazing products but I just haven't really been using them as much but they're still in my collection. So the first one is from the Inspire line. This is the Curly Temple Balm and this edge control helps to smooth the way flyaways and also it helps to eliminate the freeziness. So this edge control is clear as you can see and I just remember the smell of this product just smelling so good and I've had it for so long and it still smells really really good. Now this is more of a balm and not so much as an edge control but I use it as an edge control because it does slick my edges down but it doesn't keep my edges down it just keeps them very moisturized and very hydrated. This balm definitely doesn't last during the hotter summer months because it just melts and my edges just flip right back up again so that's one of the reasons why I haven't really used that one and also the same for this is the from the TruLion this is the Hydrating Edge Gel it has Shea, Honey, Coconut and Mango but just like the balm it doesn't hold my edges down for a long period of time. Again in warmer weather it does basically melt and just kind of my edges just kind of flip back up again. Now I have used it during the colder months but it's still about the same because my scalp heats up and the product starts to melt and my edges once again flip up. So that's one of the reasons why I have not really been using these products as much they're still really great products great products for your edges but I will say if your hair is thin if it's very soft and thin I would say these do work really well as an edge control I think they would hold your edges down but because it doesn't keep my edges laid as long as I would like for them to that's why they're just kind of sitting in the background. Next up is from the main choice this is the Perceival Caution Killer Curls and Brutal Balance Look Both Ways Hair and Edge Gel the unique feature of this gel this hair gel and edge gel is that it has two compartments and when I first got this product I did not know which one was which because mainly I didn't read the instructions on here which are on here somewhere okay here it is one side of this jar is clear the other side is yellow but since I did not know initially which one was which I kind of mixed them up I was dipping in one and the other and then they just both kind of change turn kind of the same color but one is a little darker I just really messed this up but nevertheless um this is one that I really like the only thing about it is very sticky is very tacky but even though I was dipping into both of these products not knowing which one is which it still gave me the same effect it still gave me the same the same outcome uh was slicking down my edges it only takes a very very small amount but again it's sticky and I don't really use it mainly because of just the feel of it it's like honey is what it kind of feels like to me um and that's why I don't really use it so it is one I would recommend is good it smells really good but because of just the way it feels um to me and on my hair I just don't really use it all that much but it is one that I would recommend it is a good product so I'm not knocking it but um yeah it definitely holds those edges down that's for sure I mean you can slip your whole hair up if you want to until like a bun or something but it definitely gets the job done next I have the 24 hour extreme hold flax seed gel edge control plus yogurt and this product is from the brand natural also referred to as natural club but you know the product just says natural but this is a really great gel and when it says extreme hold it means just that and that's probably why I haven't really used this one as much because it does last I don't want to say 24 hours because I don't believe that it actually lasted 24 hours but it did last at least eight hours I know it lasted a very long time did it stand up to heat and hotter weather I want to say it did I do want to say that it did stand up to the temperatures this one is more of like a pomade excuse all the hair that's in here because I was really using it when I got this product it's it's pretty um hard it's pretty thick it really doesn't take much to slip your edges down with this particular edge gel so just a little actually does go a very long way but anyway it says it lays the edges down effortlessly effortlessly um it says longer lasting hold it moisturizes your edges it's anti I can't see the word anti reversion non-greasy and flake free I don't remember this product flaking it smells good I don't remember it flaking but I just remember it just starting to build up because I think I was using too much but this is another one I would recommend so if you're looking for something to really hold it down for several several hours then I would highly recommend this one from natural or natural club it definitely will give you extreme hold just like the product claims next I have one of my all-time favorites which is the style factor edge booster this is the stronghold water-based pomade grape scented edge gel when it comes to slicking down your edges this one is definitely top of the list for me for my hair for my edges um it smells just like great bubblegum if you know anything about that hubba bubble bubblegum back in the day that we used to swallow as kids that's what it smells like and this gel is clear even though this is a pomade it's not a hard thick gel kind of like the um the flax seed one but this one is lightweight it goes on very smooth it slicks my edges down immediately upon contact it does not take a lot of this product and it does keep my edges slick down for several hours I actually have it on my edges now I put this on this morning and it is now what time is it it's 5 30 and my edges are still holding so this is a really great um gel edge gel that I will recommend and again even though it's a pomade it still works really great as an edge control and that's what most people use it for anyway what I really love about this product is it does have a strong hold even though it feels very light it's not flaking I have never experienced any flaking with this edge booster and it does leave a shine a nice shine in my hair and leaves my hair and my edges very moisturized as well so it's not it to me it's not tacky it's not flaky it just goes on just very smoothly on my hair on my edges and it just I can create um like the perfect edges with this edge booster and it's just it's just a really great gel and it's one I would highly recommend to anybody that's looking to lay their edges down this is like one of my number one favorites and also when you're creating your edges with this edge booster it makes it look very natural so you can't really some gels you can kind of you can tell it's it's gel but this one leaves a more of a natural look but still holding your edges at the same time so this one is really really great so the last one I have is from african prod this is the black castor miracle growth protection formula extra hole braid lock and twist gel now this is not an edge gel but I use it as one because it works so well on my edges and it lays it down and keeps my edges laid what I love about this this particular product is when I go to create a part or make a part and I want to really define my part I'll use this to really slick and lay that part down and it holds that part it holds that part and lays that part while I style the rest of my hair that part ain't going nowhere it will hold it and tame it down it also helps to eliminate frizz it's not tacky it's not sticky and that's another thing I like about it it smells really really good it is very moisturizing it's also very conditioning just like with the edge booster but I feel it a little bit more with this product I guess because it has the castor oil in it and the coconut oil but it is very nourishing and it does help to hydrate your hair your edges and it does promote helps in promoting hair growth so ultimately I discovered that these two products this product from african prod and the style factor work very well together if you want extreme sleekness and I mean like 24 hour sleekness I would recommend combining these two it only takes a little bit a little does go a very long way but they work very well together these are the two that I recommend you can combine them you can use them separately but this this style factor and this black castor miracle from african prod these are amazing separately and together they will lay those edges down and keep them down if your hair is a little bit more thicker or coarser especially around the edges I would recommend combining these two to give you that extreme extreme sleekness that your hair that your edges need so that concludes the video I hope you guys enjoy watching me show you my favorite edge gels that I like to use and I will have all of
