The Edyt Score

4.2 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.1/5

A Jamaican black castor oil strong-hold gel paired with a flaxseed edge gel. Two stylers for processed or heat-styled hair, not a wash.

Targets 4.2/5

For edges and a firmer hold after a relaxer or heat. Skip the single 15-ounce flaxseed tub if this two-gel set is the buy.

Formula standards 4.2/5

Two gels. The edge gel can flake if too much sits on the hairline.

The verdict

Buy the pair if both gels will be used. One set is enough.
