Aunt Jackie's Flaxseed Tame My Edges Smoothing Gel 71 g
Edge control lives or dies on two things: whether it holds past lunchtime, and whether it flakes. Tame My Edges is built for coarse, stubborn hairlines, and it lays them flat without the white residue that shows up in every photo taken after two o'clock.
The hold is firm without being brittle. Once dry the edges stay put, and touching them does not send flakes down your face. Flaxseed extract sits in the formula alongside grapeseed oil, the lighter of the two, which keeps the gel from feeling tacky.
The hairline is the most fragile hair on your head, so how you apply it matters as much as what you apply. Use a small amount on damp edges, shape with a soft brush rather than a stiff one, tie a scarf over the top for ten minutes, then leave it alone. Repeated brushing on dry edges is what wears them down.
71 g, and it works across textures, from 2c waves to 4b coils.

Application tips
Do the edges after the rest of the style is finished, not before.
Mist the hairline, take a scrape on the back of a fingernail, and press it in with the pad of your thumb before any brush touches it. Then shape it, once, in the direction you want it to sit. Wrap and wait. Twice a day is one application too many for a hairline.
Results
Edges lie flat and stay flat, through a commute and a warm room, without the crisp shell that cracks by mid afternoon.
Nothing goes white on the skin and nothing lifts off onto a scarf. The finish carries a low shine rather than a wet look. Coarse, wiry hair at the temples is the hardest test, and it holds those too.
