Design Essentials Sleek MAX Edge Control Firm Hold for All Hair Types 3.7 oz/105 g
Design Essentials Sleek MAX Edge Control 3.7 oz
Design Essentials Sleek MAX Edge Control is a firm-hold styling gel for smoothing the hairline, controlling flyaways and creating polished edges. This 3.7 oz/105 g jar is the brand’s strongest edge-control format, designed to provide maximum hold with a glossy finish while remaining touchable. It can be used on wet or dry hair and is suitable for straight, wavy, curly and coily textures.
Maximum control with a sleek finish
The concentrated gel helps keep edges in place, tame frizz and define the outline of ponytails, updos and sculpted styles. It is especially useful where coarse strands or persistent flyaways need firmer control. The formula is designed to hold without flaking or leaving visible build-up, while adding shine rather than a dull finish.

How to use

Application tips
Firm hold means small quantities. Take a fingertip's worth, warm it, and press it into the hairline before brushing anything, so the gel is in the hair rather than sitting on top.
Shape with a boar-bristle edge brush, then wrap the hairline with a scarf for a few minutes. It works on wet or dry hair, though dry gives the cleaner line on coarse textures.
Results
Stubborn flyaways and coarse strands that shrug off a medium-hold gel stay put. This is the firm end of the range and it behaves like it.
Edges come out sleek and glossy rather than dull or chalky, and the outline of a ponytail or an updo stays sharp all day. No flaking, and no white build-up along the hairline by the evening.
