Top 5 Edge Controls for Type 4 Hair

-

When it comes to laying down type 4 hair, finding the right edge control product is crucial. 

Here are the top five (5) edge controls based on hold, longevity, flexibility, and flaking/white cast.

Beauty Tip: Try your edge control with a little water. Wetting your edges a little bit makes hair softer and easier to mold, the product tends to apply smoother and it helps prevent the white cast and flaking. This is especially good with water based products. You do not have to saturate your hair, sometimes wetting your edge brush works better
