Shine 'n Jam Magic Fingers for Braiders Extra Hold Styling Gel 8 oz
Same braiding gel as the salon tub, in an 8oz jar that makes more sense if you are styling your own hair or doing the occasional install for family.
Extra Hold is the grip end of the Magic Fingers line. It gives you the control to part cleanly and keep tension even, which is what separates a neat cornrow from one that loosens at the front by day three. Box braids, knotless, locs and twists all hold longer with it.
The finish is the other half of the appeal. It dries clear, does not flake as the style ages, and does not leave the heavy film that makes hair feel coated. Shine comes through as your own rather than as a wet-look gloss.
Fine, medium and coarse hair all take it. Use it on damp or dry hair, section by section, and let each braid dry before you handle it much.

Application tips
Eight ounces is the jar for your own head or the occasional family install. Keep the parts small enough to stay straight, and work either damp or dry.
Rub a little between the fingers, run it root to tip, then plait. Give each finished braid a few minutes to set before it gets handled or tied back, and wash your hands between rows so the grip stays on the hair.
Results
Grip that holds tension even at the front of the head, where cornrows usually slacken first. Box braids, knotless sets, twists and locs all stay tidier for longer with it worked into the section.
It sets clear, and no flaking shows up as an install gets older. Nothing heavy is left behind, so hair moves and shines like itself rather than looking coated.
Composition
