No frizz, string hold
I love using this product for a strong hold after doing an updo. Really holds my hair for hours without any frizz. It was easy to wash off after I did no longer want the hairstyle

It’s gooey, leaves white film and holds for maybe an hour. Don’t bother. I grabbed it on sale for $1.50 and still feel like it was wasted money.

Greta edge control!
This product has a very light smell and isn't drying at all like most gel controls are ! It doesn't make your scalp flaky nor your skin; and it has the perf amount of volume.

Edge Gel🫶🏻👏🏼💁🏽♀️
This gel is great, I’m a hair stylist and I used it with my clients, when they ask for edge braids. The smell is good and it works as described, the edges long last, and we don’t see that white residue that regularly gels left.

No es mi favorito
Cantu Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel works really well for smoothing and laying down edges. It provides a strong hold without making my hair feel stiff or flaky, which I really appreciate. A little goes a long way, and it keeps my edges looking neat for hours. I also like that it’s made with shea butter, so it helps keep my hair moisturized while styling. It’s great for sleek styles, ponytails, and controlling flyaways. Overall, it’s a solid edge control that I would recommend, especially for natural hair.

Laid with no sticky residue
Cantu is one of the OG edge controls. She’s a staple in this house! Smells great and has an amazing hold. Easy to glide on and doesn’t leave a sticky residue on my head.

Holds well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on my daughter for her christmas dance show, it held her hair well even with her dancing and running around. It lasted all day. It didn't flake and made the hair look shiny under the stage lights.

Recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Efficient and long-lasting, it offers strong hold and smooths baby hairs effectively, leaving a sleek, glossy finish. Lightweight and versatile, it works best when applied sparingly and smoothed with a comb. I recommend it if you have a lot of baby hairs
