Which type do you need?

  • Gel: smooth finish and shine. Good for everyday styles.
  • Wax or pomade: firmer hold for thick or coarse hair.
  • Wax stick: quick to apply, and handy for flyaways and partings.

How to use it

Take a small amount on your fingertip or an edge brush. Smooth it along the hairline and shape. Tie down with a scarf for 10 minutes for a longer hold.

Questions about edge control

What is edge control?

Edge control is a styling product for the short, fine hairs around your hairline. It smooths them down and holds them in place.

Which is better, gel or wax?

Gel is lighter and suits fine or relaxed edges and everyday styles. Wax and pomade are thicker and many people find they hold thick or coily hair better.

Why does my edge control turn white?

The usual causes are using too much, layering it over old product, or mixing it with a leave-in or gel it does not work with. Use a small amount on clean edges.

Yes. All three CC Hair and Beauty shops stock edge control: Chapeltown, Roundhay Road and Leeds city centre.
