EBIN 24 Hour Argan Oil Extra Mega Hold Edge Tamer 4oz
EBIN sell this edge tamer in several hold strengths, and this is the Extra Mega Hold version. Reach for it if your baby hairs lift in humidity and you want them to stay laid through a working day, rather than needing a touch-up by lunchtime.
The formula carries argan oil, which is there to stop the hairline drying out under repeated gel use and to put some shine on the finish. That second job is easy to overlook. The hair along the hairline is the finest on your head, it gets brushed and gelled more often than anything else, and it is usually the first place breakage shows. Held edges stay put for up to 24 hours without going stiff or turning white and flaky as they dry, which is the usual complaint with strong gels.
Brush it along the hairline, lay the hair in the shape you want, then tie a scarf over it for a few minutes while it sets. It works on type 2c through 4c, relaxed or natural, and it earns its keep under wigs, buns and slicked-back styles where the edges are the finished detail everyone sees. 4oz.

Application tips
Start with less than you think. A pea sized amount covers both sides of a hairline, and anything more sits on the surface and takes an hour to dry.
Pick it up with a firm edge brush rather than your finger, so the product goes onto the hair and not the skin. Wash the brush afterwards; dried gel in the bristles is what drags on the next application.
Results
Baby hairs hold their shape through a humid day and a commute, which is the specific test cheaper gels fail.
The line stays dark and smooth as it dries, with no white residue creeping along the hairline, and the shine is present without looking wet. Because the fine hair at the front stays conditioned rather than crisped, brushing it out at night does less damage than a drier gel would.
Composition
- Argan Oil
