What edge control holds in humidity and sweat?
For edges that hold through sweat and humid days, pick an edge gel labelled extreme or strong hold, use a small amount with an edge brush, and tie a scarf over it while it sets. D and D Hair and Beauty Supply Plus, 1450 University Ave Ste G, Riverside, CA 92507, carries All Day Locks Edge Gel, edge brushes and an Edges and Hold Kit.
What to look for
- Hold level: the label says it, from light to extreme. Choose a stronger hold for workouts and hot days.
- Finish: some gels dry shiny, some matte. Pick what matches the rest of your style.
- Flaking: too much product is the usual cause. Start with less than you think.
How to lay edges that last
- Start on clean, dry hair.
- Take a small amount on the edge brush and smooth in the direction you want.
- Tie a satin scarf over the edges for a few minutes while the gel sets.
- At night, wear a satin cap or scarf so the edges stay down.

Questions
Why do my edges come up when I sweat?
Sweat and humidity soften most gels. A stronger hold, less product, and a scarf while it sets usually help it last longer.
What edge control holds the longest?
No single product suits every hair type. Look for a label that says extreme or strong hold and test it on a regular day first.
