Styling natural hair can be tricky, but the right product can help your edges lay down smooth and stay put all day. That’s why we consulted experts and celebs like Lori Harvey and Courtney Foster to find the best edge control.
Alicia Bailey, stylist and founder of style factor hair, says that a matte cream formula is the key to a natural hold that lasts all day. “Aveda’s Control Paste has a matte finish that’s easy to work with,” she says. “It’s a water-soluble gel, so it washes out completely.”
This strong hold styling gel can be used on dry or damp hair to tousle, twist, or shape your look without losing its grip. A moisturizing blend of shea butter and coconut oil delivers textured shine, while invigorating peppermint essential oil adds a fresh scent that’s perfect for everyday wear.
A fan-favorite, this pomade offers a stronger hold with luxurious moisture. Carnauba wax and beeswax smooth hair, while shea butter and argan oil nourish and hydrate. Natural camelia sinensis seed oil provides a subtle color coverage to hide grey strands, and this pliable formula is easy to style all day long. This is a great hair gel for men, as it has a manly fragrance that’s invigorating and fresh.
