I Swear By These 3 Edge Control Products for My Natural Hair — Here’s Why

StyleFactor Edge Booster in Sugar Melon

This one is a recent find that has shaken up my hair routine and made me reconsider if I’d ever truly known edge control before — is it obvious I’m obsessed? It’s truly the best of both worlds, offering soft, touchable hold that also lasts all day. It smells amazing (each scent is sweet and fruity), comes in travel and full sizes and is completely clear so I don’t have to worry about it tinting my hair. If you haven’t gotten where I’m going with this — you need it, period.

Creme of Nature Perfect Edges Extra Hold

My very first edge control, Creme of Nature Perfect Edges will always have a place in my heart. Its golden hue is as familiar as my curls and has laid the edges of me, and many other black girls with hair like mine. It’s an ever-popular holy grail pick, and I’m forever devoted. It’s the consistent formula you go back to time and time again and never disappoints.

Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Edge Control

If you’ve ever smelled Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla, then you know it’s a treat. The Edge Control in the line is no exception, and feels like a treat every time you apply it. It’s also lightweight and has the most flexible hold of the three, perfect for days when I’m rocking a wash and go and doesn't make my edges flake. It’s also formulated with nourishing ingredients like honey, aloe and rosemary, so your hair stays protected all day long.
