What is edge control?
Edge control is a styling product designed specifically for baby hair and frizz at the hairline. It's used with an edge control brush to lay down the edges smoothly or style them into designs. Think of it as the finishing touch that keeps your hairstyle looking polished and professional all day.
Can I use this on relaxed hair?
Yes! Our Edge Growth Control works beautifully on both natural and relaxed hair. For best results, make sure your hair is clean before applying the product. This allows the edge control to grip properly and the nourishing ingredients to penetrate your hair shaft.
How does this edge control help with hair growth?
Absolutely! The ingredients in our edge control are 100% natural and full of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that support hair health and growth. One key ingredient is argan oil, which moisturizes and nourishes your hair. Our formula is also paraben-free and alcohol-free - chemicals typically found in alternative edge controls that can dry out your hair and increase breakage. Healthy, nourished edges grow better than damaged, dried-out edges.
Why is this the best edge control for 4C hair?
Our Edge Growth Control offers stronghold grip that doesn't move, it's 100% natural, and it never leaves white streaks or flaking. This is a clean edge control that helps you grow thick, healthy edges while holding your styled hair perfectly in place. Type 4C hair is naturally drier and more fragile, so you need a product that nourishes while it styles - that's exactly what this does.
How do I apply edge control properly?
Start with freshly washed hair that's free of any products. Apply our Edge Growth Control to slightly damp hair using an edge control brush. Style your baby hairs the way you want and let it dry naturally. For faster drying, you can tie a satin headband or scarf over your hairline to keep edges flat, or use a blow dryer on the cool setting. Never use hot air, as this can dry out your edges.
Can people with traction alopecia use this?
Yes! Our edge control is full of ingredients that nourish and hydrate your hair, making it an excellent choice for those experiencing traction alopecia or edge thinning. It's also great for styling new growth in the front without causing further damage. However, we strongly recommend avoiding tight hairstyles that pull on your hairline. Try low-tension hairstyles for natural and protective styles to give your edges the best chance to recover and grow.
Will this flake or leave white residue?
No! Our formula dries completely clear with zero flaking or white residue. Your edges will look sleek and polished all day without any of the embarrassing buildup that comes with inferior edge controls.
How long does the hold last?
Our stronghold formula keeps your edges laid flat all day - typically 12-24 hours depending on your activity level and environment. You can sleep in it and wake up with your edges still laid, though we recommend wrapping your hair in a satin scarf at night to preserve your style.
Is this safe for daily use?
Yes! Because our formula is alcohol-free, paraben-free, and made with nourishing natural ingredients, it's gentle enough for daily use. However, we recommend giving your edges a break on wash days to let your hair breathe and avoid product buildup.
Does this work on very coarse or resistant edges?
Absolutely! Our stronghold formula is specifically designed to tame even the most resistant edges. The key is applying it to slightly damp, clean hair and using a good edge control brush to smooth everything down while the product sets.
Can I use this with other styling products?
Yes, but for best results, apply edge control to clean hair before other styling products. If you're using leave-ins or oils on your hair, apply those to the rest of your hair first, then finish with edge control on your hairline. Layering too many products on your edges can cause buildup and reduce the hold.
What makes this different from drugstore edge controls?
Most drugstore edge controls contain alcohol and parabens that dry out your hairline and cause long-term damage. They might hold your edges down temporarily, but they're actually contributing to edge thinning and breakage. Our formula nourishes while it holds, supporting hair growth instead of preventing it. Plus, you get superior hold without flaking or residue.
How long before I see edge growth results?
While you'll see immediate styling results, edge growth takes time. With consistent use (and avoiding tight hairstyles), most customers notice new growth and thicker edges within 8-12 weeks. Remember, edges grow slowly, so patience and gentle handling are key.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Yes! Our natural, gentle formula is safe for use during pregnancy and while nursing. However, if you have specific concerns, consult with your doctor.
What if I'm not satisfied?
We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee. If you don't love the hold or the results, simply email support@tryveganic.com and we'll process your full refund. Your satisfaction is our priority.
