Two ounces of edge control, which is enough to lay a hairline every day for weeks.

Swag Goo holds hard and shines hard. Baby hairs stay where you brush them, flyaways stay flat, and the finish is glossy rather than matt. It dries quickly and it does not turn white, which is the failure that shows up in every photograph with lesser edge gels.

Nothing greasy is left behind, so a scarf goes on without lifting the product straight back off again.

The hold is strong enough for sleek ponytails and structured updos, not only the hairline, and it stays soft to the touch rather than crisp. It is designed for natural hair and for the fine, fragile hair at the front of it, so brushing it out at night is straightforward.

Application tips

Edges want a small amount and a firm tool. Take the tiniest scrape on a fingertip, warm it, then press it flat along the hairline rather than dragging at it.

A boar bristle brush or an old toothbrush shapes a swirl far better than fingers can. Tie a satin scarf over the top for ten minutes while it sets, then take it off. Wash it out that night instead of laying fresh gel over yesterday's.

Results

Hold is firm and stays firm through rain, wind and a long shift. The finish is glossy rather than wet-looking, and a laid section keeps its shape without going chalky or lifting into flakes as it dries.

Flyaways along the temple stay down. Because it comes out cleanly in a normal wash, the fine hair at the hairline is not fighting a layer of build-up from one day to the next.
