Testing Bask & Lather Edge Control

Okay, so you've seen my initial test of the Bask & Lather Edge Control, but I wanted to dive a little deeper into my experience, especially since so many of you are asking about long-term hold and how it stacks up against other products. After putting this 150ml/5.3oz jar through its paces, I have some extra thoughts to share! First off, let's talk about that 'strong hold' claim that pops up in so many searches. For me, a true test isn't just about how it looks right after application, but how it holds up through actual life. My initial 'Time For Bed' to 'End of Day' test gave a good first impression, but I continued using it for a week to really get a feel for it. I found that if applied correctly, it does offer a pretty impressive hold without feeling super stiff or crunchy. My edges stayed laid, even after a busy morning getting ready and chasing after kids. One thing I noticed that might be a concern for some, especially those who've seen 'bad reviews' floating around, is about flaking. I found that if I used too much product, or if I layered it with certain other products, I did experience a tiny bit of white residue or flaking by the end of the second day. My tip? Less is definitely more with this one! A small amount goes a long way. I also make sure my edges are clean and free of other heavy creams before applying to prevent any adverse reactions. For those of you wondering about 'edge control and lather comparison' or if it's like a 'wig gel', I'd say it's on the thicker side compared to some lighter edge gels, which contributes to its strong hold. It's not as sticky as some wig gels I've tried, making it easier to work with. It really felt like it was designed specifically for laying natural hair edges, rather than just being a general-purpose gel. I also appreciated that it didn't dry out my edges or leave them feeling brittle, which has been an issue with other strong-hold products in the past. My natural hair routine includes moisturizing daily, and this edge control didn't seem to interfere with that. Removal was fairly easy too; a little water and gentle cleansing shampoo did the trick without excessive scrubbing. Overall, if you're looking for an edge control that truly delivers on strong hold and lasts throughout the day (and night, as my 'Good Morning' check showed!), the Bask & Lather Co. Edge Control is definitely worth trying. Just remember my tip about application amount, and you should be good to go! It's become a staple in my protective style arsenal.
