I used this gel on my new locs and it smoothed the edges beautifully. No frizz or flyaways, and it stayed put all day. The scent is mild and the scalp feels calm after use. Great for maintaining shape without irritation.

The hold is strong and lasts through the day. I applied it after braiding and it set the edges perfectly. The grape seed oil gives a nice conditioning effect, and my scalp feels soothed.

Works well for edge smoothing. It dries quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. A little goes a long way. Slight improvement in shine compared to previous products.

I’ve tried several edge gels, and this one stands out for its balance of hold and comfort. No itching, and the eucalyptus oil helps with scalp sensitivity. Highly recommend for daily use.

Great for reducing frizz at the edges. Holds well for 48 hours. A bit more expensive, but the performance justifies the price. Would use again for future loc maintenance.
