10 Edge Control Products That Sleek Those Baby Hairs

Let’s kickstart the process with an all-time classic. Cantu Extra Hold Stay Gel is a favourite because not only does it get the job done, it gets the job done without breaking the bank. The strong-hold, flake-free gel is ideal for curly, kinky, wavy and naturally textured hair types and can be used for sleek styles, high ponytails and more.

Shape and sculpt your baby hairs to suit your style with R+Co Control Flexible Paste. Whether you want a not-so-messy, messy updo or sleek, straight strands, this semi-matte styling paste makes your hair routine all the easier. It has a workable hold, but don’t be fooled, it’ll take you from the office to the dancefloor with ease.

You’re going to love the grip on this one. Schwarzkopf Professional Osis+ G-Force Strong Styling Gel straightens out an unruly hairline, bringing order and definition to any natural style or wig. The long-lasting, anti-gravity hold means you can rock your favourite hairstyles with confidence.

If you struggle to get that super-sleek look then you're going to want to snap up this smoothing stick. It features a mascara-like brush that's saturated with a strong-holding serum in order to make sweeping back flyways, kinks and baby hairs all the easier. It's a must-have for updos and ponytails and is also great for when you're on the go.

Just a small amount of this hair gel from Shea Moisture is enough to show coarse, temperamental hair who’s boss. The moisturising soufflé is the perfect choice for curly styles, whether that be loose curls or tight kinky coils. The nourishing blend adds shine, softness and manageability to hair, all whilst tidying up those all-important edges.

Although technically designed for men, the Power Play Firm Finish Gel from TIGI works wonders as an edge control product. It doesn’t leave our baby hairs flaky or coated with a crunchy residue and instead provides a clean, lightweight formula which leaves your edges looking and feeling luxe.

This is the ultimate gel for those that love a reliable hold but dislike the rock-hard finish it often leaves. This firm hold gel can be used wet or dry to create soft styles. Shape, mould and direct those baby hairs however you like knowing that it’ll look natural, never stiff or ‘plastic-like’. It’s A 10 out of 10 from us!

Helping you take back control of your hairstyle, this powerful solution tames flyaways and controls frizziness, even in the worst weather conditions. The extra conditioning blend also contains UV protection to ensures that hair is shielded throughout the day, and even delivers a gorg’ glossy finish.

If a product comes from a celebrity hair stylist, you know it’s going to be good. Jen Atkin is one of the most influential hair stylists in the world and she has just what you need to style your hair. Whether you have short or long locks, this pomade shapes strands exactly how you like it. It has a matte finish (perfect if you’re not a fan of the high-shine, gloss look) AND it smells incredible.

Your ponytails, braids and edges have never looked better. KMS supply a hair gel that’s long-lasting and flake-free for easy-peasy styling. The formula is enriched with grapeseed oil and sorbitol, which holds the hair in place and conditions your scalp.
