African Pride Black Castor Miracle Hold & Cover Edges 2.2oz
An edge gel that does a bit of cosmetic cover as well. African Pride's Black Castor Miracle Hold and Cover Edges slicks down stubborn edges the way any decent edge control does, and while it is on it temporarily masks greys along the hairline and makes thinner-looking patches read as fuller.
The cover is temporary, which is rather the point. It suits anyone who wants the look for a day or an occasion without committing to dye at the hairline, where the hair is fine and the skin is close.
Apply with your fingertips or a small brush, working along the hairline to smooth, cover and lay flyaways flat. Daily use is fine, and it works just as well on a quick fringe tidy as it does on a full sleek-back.
2.2oz jar. Made for type 3 and type 4 textures.

Application tips
Clean, dry hair. Anything oily underneath and the pigment slides. Load a small angled brush, tap off the excess, and stipple it into the hairline where the scalp shows rather than painting a solid line.
Let it set for a minute before you tie anything back. It marks a light pillowcase, so wrap at night, and take it out with a proper wash rather than a rinse.
Results
Greys along the parting and temples drop out of view for the day. Sparse patches at the front read as filled in, since the pigment sits on the scalp as well as on the hair. Edges hold their shape without lifting by the afternoon, and the finish is matte enough to look like hair rather than a gel line. It stays put through wind and comes out cleanly when you want it gone.
