Laid edges only look good if they stay put past the first hour. This 2 oz pot gives a firm hold for baby hairs and hairlines, and it holds through humidity without going white or crusty at the temples.

The base is a water and Ceteareth-25 gel, with glycerin and propylene glycol drawing in moisture so the hairline stays supple rather than brittle. Rosemary leaf oil, peppermint oil and biotin sit in the mix, and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil keeps the finish natural rather than greasy.

What it does

  • Holds edges and baby hairs firmly through humidity and a full day of wear
  • Dries without flaking, so touch-ups do not leave white residue
  • Stays non-greasy, with a natural finish rather than a wet look shine
  • Smooths frizz and flyaways along the hairline

How to use it

Start with clean, dry edges. Pick up a small amount on a fingertip and smooth it on with your fingers, a fine-tooth comb or an edge brush, working in small sections until the baby hairs sit where you want them. Tie a silk scarf around your hairline for a few minutes to set, then style the rest of your hair as usual.

Works on every curl pattern, from loose waves to tight 4C coils. 2 oz jar, small enough to travel with.

Application tips

Warm a small amount on the fingertip before it touches the hairline, and use less than looks right.

Brush in the direction the swirl already goes rather than fighting it, then tie a satin scarf over the front for ten minutes while you finish the rest. Wash the hairline properly at the end of the day instead of adding a fresh layer over the old one.

Results

The hairline holds past the point where a softer gel would have lifted, and damp weather does not undo it by the afternoon.

Nothing goes chalky at the temples when you touch it up. The front section keeps some give, so taking the style down at night does not cost you the baby hairs you just laid.
