[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was gifted this product and im glad i was. Ive used cantu products in the past and it didnt work as good i the past . My hair stayed molded for three hours after applying it. Loved it! I also really like the size of the container. Its the perfect size for my purse.I would recommend this product to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the product. The smell is pleasant, you get an ample amount of product and it doesn't leave white flakes. My only issue is that it doesn't give the hold that I like. I like a really strong hold, this edge product gives a medium to light hold. I will however use this on my braids.
Great shine not great hold

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gel did not work great on my hair, I tried it on dry and wet hair styles, and it was the same result. After some minutes you could see all the baby hairs staring to curl up. It goes on smooth, but it doesn't hold. It doesn't feel greasy, nor does it make my hair greasy, just enough shine and it is flexible, it does not hold. I also used it on my child's hair with the same results. I have type 2C curls and my child has 3C.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gel itself was able to slick my hair down and left my edges smooth. It had a pleasant scent and nice shine, with great ingredients that are good for my hair that are included. Yet, it did not hold my hair in place and frizzed up after a couple of hours.
Good hold!

Gel that does not leave a white cast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Cantu firm hold extra stay gel. Upon opening, I noticed the pleasant scent that it had. It's kind of soft in texture and maneuverable, easy to manipulate. However, it did not hold my curls in the very hot Caribbean humidity which would have been the main purpose for me. On the bright side, it does not form the white case as comparable brands.
Would buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This edge control is a game-changer! It lays my edges effortlessly without leaving any white residue or flaking. The hold lasts all day, even in humidity, and it doesn't make my hair feel stiff or greasy. A little goes a long way, and I love that it keeps my edges sleek and polished without buildup. If you're looking for a long-lasting, non-greasy edge control that actually works, this is it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried so many edge control gels, but the Cantu Shea Butter Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel is definitely a standout! It provides long-lasting hold without making my hair feel stiff or flaky. The formula is enriched with shea butter, so it keeps my edges moisturized and smooth all day. I also love that it doesn't leave behind any greasy or sticky residue. If you're looking for an affordable, reliable edge control that works on all hair types, this is definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!
Best hair gel!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cantu Shea Butter Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel is the best edge control gel I've ever used. It gives me a sleek polished look that never gets flaky and lasts all day. I trust it everyday including on my most special occasions. You only need to use a little amount of products so it is such a great value. I give is a 5/5 star review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's rare that I find an edge control that doesn't leave white flakes! I hate the way flakes look! This edge control holds for majority of my work day without making my hair crunchy.
