Tame the frizziest of baby hairs with these strong-hold hair gels!

14 Hair Gels to Hold Your Edges in Place

14 Hair Gels to Hold Your Edges in Place


Sleek updos have made a major comeback this year. But for those of us with curlier strands, unruly baby hairs that surround the perimeter of our heads can easily create an untamed, messy finish to even the straightest of ponytails. That's why when the going gets tough with our teeny strays, we reach for strong-hold hair gels. These products can lock your edges into place, no matter how naturally kinky they may be. So, instead of letting frizzy baby hairs ruin your otherwise tamed mane, grab one of these edge-control gels for an on-fleek finish.
Dr. Miracle's Edge Holding Gel ($5)
Schwarzkopf Smooth 'N Shine Straight Conditioning Gel ($4)
OGX Low Shine + Bamboo Fiber Texture Flexible Fiber Wax ($7)
Luster's Pink Shea Butter Coconut Oil Smooth & Hold Edge Gel ($6)
Pantene Pro-V Extra Strong Hold Hair Gel ($5)
