Luster's Pink Smooth & Hold Edge Gel 4.5oz
Coarse hairlines need more grip than fine ones, and most edge gels are formulated for the latter. This one is built for hair that resists being laid down. It comes out of the Luster's Pink line, which has been doing that particular job on textured hair for a very long time.
The hold is strong and it lasts, and it does that without the stiffness or the white residue that usually comes with strength. It smooths the hairline, sculpts the edges and tidies the nape, which makes it useful beyond the front of the head. Short cuts, sleek ponytails and updos all benefit from a neat perimeter.
Work it in with a soft brush along the hairline, then wrap a scarf over it for five minutes while it sets. The 4.5oz jar is generous for something you apply in small amounts, so it will outlast most tubs on the shelf.

Application tips
Work on a hairline that is dry or barely damp. Take a small amount on the back of a brush rather than a fingertip, then work in short strokes along the direction of the swoop.
Build the shape in two passes instead of loading it all at once. Wrap with a scarf for ten minutes, take it off, and leave it. Rinse the brush before the gel sets in the bristles.
Results
Edges hold sharp all day, including the coarse hairs that lift again five minutes after most gels have gone on.
The finish is smooth and defined rather than stiff, so the hairline reads polished instead of plastered. Nothing crumbles at the temples through the day, and the hair underneath stays soft enough to restyle the next morning without a full wash.
