Common questions

Why does Edge Booster leave a white cast?: Too much product on fine hair can do this. Use less.
Can I use it over gel?: Many people layer it over a gel for extra hold.
Is Edge Booster good for 4C hair?: Reviewers with 4C hair use it. The extra strength jar suits coarse hair.
How long does it hold?: It depends on humidity and sweat. A scarf at night helps it last.
