Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Fortifying Edge Gel 3.5 oz / 104 ml - For Strong, Sleek Edges
Edges take more punishment than the rest of the head. They are finer, they sit at the perimeter where every ponytail and bun pulls hardest, and most edge controls answer that with a hold so hard it flakes by the afternoon.
This one is built around Jamaican black castor oil, which is thick and conditioning, so the gel lays the hairline down while keeping it soft underneath. The hold lasts through the day and brushes out at night without taking hair with it. No white flakes, no sticky residue. A 3.5 oz / 104 ml jar lasts a long time when you are only using it on the hairline.
- Lays edges flat for buns, ponytails and updos
- Holds without setting hard or cracking
- Conditions the hairline while it holds, thanks to the castor oil
- Brushes out cleanly when you take the style down
Made for type 3b through 4c hair, and worth having if your edges are fine enough that a stiff gel does more harm than good.

Application tips
Edges are the last step, so put the style up first. Take a rice-grain amount on a fingertip or an edge brush, work along the hairline in short strokes following the way the hair falls, then tie a satin scarf over it for ten minutes while it sets.
Results
The hairline sits where you put it and stays there through the day, including in damp weather. No white specks appear along the parting by the afternoon, and the gel does not go tacky if you touch it.
Underneath the hold, the hair itself stays soft, which matters when this is a hairline you lay down every single day.
