Extra hold where??? It barely has regular hold strength. This edge control is not for coarse hair or hair that is hard to lay down. In my opinion, it only works well on freshly relaxed hair, otherwise, the holding power is very minimal.
Not recomended

This is one of the best edge gels I’ve ever tried as someone with 3A curly hair. First and foremost, this edge gel has the most amazing smell, and a little goes a long way. Along with this, the gel lasts hours, at a very small price point. The only con is if you’re someone that uses your edge gel on the top of your head baby hairs, it will make your hair greasier faster.
LOVE!

This is the perfect hair gel for my edges. I use it for every day hair styles & to keep my hair in tact when I do my braids. It doesn't make my hair dry. That along with it not creating a lotta buildup in my hair is a major perk for me. It has a long lasting hold but doesn't feel hard like some others. I've bought it more than once & I'd definitely recommend it.

I use this product on my daughter's hair and it will hold her edges in place for a few hours, it's a good buy given the price.

This is pretty bad. Not sure if i received a bad batch but it’s hard. When removing product it feels sticky and product dissolved before I could spread it on hair , yes it does smell nice but overall I can’t use this I tossed in trash!

My daughter has fine and curly hair. I'm still trying to figure out how to best use this product for her, but it does hold and it smells great, so i know any issues i'm having are user error.
Ok but..
