In June, global superstar Rihanna introduced her latest venture, Fenty Hair, to an excited beauty community. Following the launch of Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin, the singer, businesswoman, and actress turned her attention towards haircare, offering an array of products such as shampoos, conditioners, stylers, and treatment products. One of the products that brought significant excitement to consumers was The Controlling Type Hair-Thickening Edge Control Gel.
For those not familiar, the term “edges” refer to the short hairs along the hairline of textured hair types. Edges can sometimes thin, especially postpartum, and thus most new moms are seeking some extra care for their hairline. This is where Fenty Hair’s edge control gel comes in. It’s not only a haircare product but also a thickening tool that allows your edges to appear fuller and healthier-looking.
The Controlling Type Hair-Thickening Edge Control Gel is described as a vegan, silicone-free styling product designed to hold, smooth, strengthen, and nourish your edges. Consisting of Replenicore-5’s (a proprietary complex by Fenty Hair) amino acids, proteins, antioxidants, larch wood, and red clover extract – these ingredients aim to repair, strengthen, hydrate, and protect the hair. The gel’s scent is infused with warm notes of yuzu, amber, florals, coconut, vanilla, and sandalwood making the product not just beneficial for hair health, but also aromatic and pleasing to the senses.
The texture of the gel is sticky, but in a good way. It’s not a struggle to swipe out of the jar, and once a dollop of the gel is smoothed onto the hair using the fingers, it easily glides along the hair edges giving them a shiny, wet-look appeal that most users adore. After smoothing down the edges with the gel, users can use a brush to further tame their hairline before pulling the rest of their hair back into its desired style. To add a soft and cute touch to sleek styles like buns, Fenty Hair’s Side Stick 3-in-1 Edge Styling Tool is useful in laying down and gently sweeping some of the baby hairs around the hairline. After setting the style with a headscarf for about 30 minutes, the hair look remains sleek and stays perfectly in place.
The gel sustains the hold through the day and even after vigorous activities like a brisk evening walk and caring for a toddler. Though sweating may cause a slight revert or flip up of baby hairs, the gel’s overall performance is quite impressive. What’s more, it’s light and doesn’t weigh down hair but leaves it with a long-lasting shine. The gel can be used repeatedly throughout the week to maintain gorgeous edges and an elegant hairline, and with every use, it can continue to provide the expected hold while nourishing the hair.
The Controlling Type Hair-Thickening Edge Control Gel by Fenty Hair is, in conclusion, a worthy addition to the beauty regimen of anyone who has textured hair. This gel offers both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits of nourishing and strengthening hair edges, making hair management a delightful task to look forward to. With this gel, your hairline is not just managed and controlled; it is also groomed, nourished, and beautified. Consider it an investment towards your hair health and the elegance of your beauty routine.
