Our Take
A maximum-hold edge gel from the Pomegranate & Honey range for Type 4 naturalistas who need edges that hold through long days and high humidity. Strong, long-lasting hold with a pleasant scent. Contains Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein for additional strength. Important note to CGM followers: this gel contains Polydimethylsiloxane — it is not CGM-approved, and silicone-sensitive curlies should use the Rosemary Mint Hair Strengthening Edge Gel instead. For everyone else, the performance is excellent — edges stay set without flaking or buildup, and the protein content means repeated use doesn't progressively weaken the hairline the way some hold-only formulas can.
