Overview

Smoothing edges and setting braids or finger waves is the everyday job of this AmPro gel. Castor oil, flaxseed and vitamin E condition while it holds, and keratin protein adds strength without grease or flakes.

Firm hold that stays soft and flake free suits protective styles and sleek edges alike. The listing gives no numeric hold level, so very stubborn edges may still need an edge control product.

Who it's for

Natural hair styles from locs to coils suit a gel that holds firmly and conditions. Those wanting loose, brushable waves may find the hold too firm.

Performance notes

The gel sets into a film that holds hair in shape as it dries, while castor oil and flaxseed keep that film flexible. Without alcohol, it dries without the brittleness that causes flakes. Applying to damp sections spreads it evenly through braids and twists.
