INGREDIENTS

Here is what’s in this month’s edge control and the ingredients that people tend to use alone.


FLAX SEED GEL

Everyone loves the flax seed base in the Watermelon Kiwi Hair Gel.

It adds great hold without making your hair crunchy.


CASTOR OIL

Everybody and their mama swears by Castor Oil.

Apparently, Castor Oil can control frizz, re-grow your edges, and revive the dead, jk.

So we had to include it in the edge control, it just wouldn’t be right without it.


RAW HONEY

I’ve heard of, well, I know people who have styled their entire head with honey and left it in for a month.

Her hair was so crunchy and hard the entire time she wore the style but it looked cute lol.

I’m not recommending this, I wouldn’t even do this myself, but I’ve seen it with my own two eyes.


GLYCERIN

This was the one natural ingredient we found in almost every edge control we researched.

Glycerin is a humectant, drawing moisture from the air into your hair.

It keeps this edge control from becoming crunchy but it’s thick consistency helps to lay down the hair.


XANTHAN GUM

Is a sugar that stabilizes cosmetics to keep them from separating.

What’s interesting is that you can actually make a gel with just Xanthan Gum.

If you peruse the interwebs, I’m sure you’ll find a few recipes.

The reason we didn’t make the gel out of ONLY Xanthan is because I didn’t want you laying your edges down with only sugar.


FRAGRANCE

The fragrance is Apple Cinnamon, we wanted to be festive with December’s CurlMix.

These ingredients, individually, can all lay down your edges, but just aren’t as effective by themselves.

Combining all of them will make a wonderful all natural edge control.
