The Best Edge Controls for Gray Hair

Having gray hair can sometimes give you the blues, gray edges included. I want to share the best edge controls for gray hair that I have tried. It’s important to learn how to accept your hair the way it is, gray strands or not. I’m often asked if I would risk my strands by coloring my hair, and the short answer is -no. Because I’ve suffered from color damage before, I’m not ready to damage my hair again just because of my gray hair. It can be hard to tame the wildness when you have gray hair, especially gray edges.

With ingredients like- Castor oil, Jamaican black castor oil, and aloe vera leaf juice, this edge control will keep your hair from breaking and add moisture to your edges. Since this edge control is so thick, I don’t have to worry about my styles not lasting.

Tailored Beauty – Jamaican Black Castor Oil Edge Control For Gray Hair

You can never go wrong with a product that has Jamaican black castor oil as an ingredient. Since Jamaican black castor oil is an ingredient in this product, you can be sure that your hair will not fall short of moisture while still taming your edges. I love the tackiness of this edge control because it allows me not to use so much of it! If you’re looking for a great edge control with shine and hold, I would definitely recommend this one.

Urban Hydration- Honey Pro Edge Control

I recently gave my opinion on this line minus the edge control on my Instagram; check it out. If you’ve read any of my previous blog posts, you know that I am a huge fan of products that contains honey. Because honey is a humectant, which aids in adding moisture to your hair, my hair feels so soft after using products with this ingredient. So why not use a product that will do the same to my edges? Using a moisturizing product is important for your edges, especially your gray ones. The packaging states that it will control, sleek, snatch, and smooth your edges, and that’s precisely what it has done for me.

My Black Is Beautiful- Edge Slayer

You’ve probably heard of My Black Is Beautiful in the black community and how the company empowers black women. My Black Is Beautiful launched its first natural hair care product, The New Golden Milk Collection 2019. This collection is for textured women, and the products are amazing. The edge slayer is a great edge control that will really tackle your gray edges. One downfall I have found is that it can get rather greasy if you apply too much.

Cantu- Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel Good For Gray Hair

Because the Cantu brand has been around for quite some time, there have been controversial conversations about this brand in the natural hair community. I do not have any major problems using this brand, so I included their edge control in this blog post. This edge control is lightweight and infused with castor oil to nourish hair and scalp. This edge control is moisturizing, but I find myself applying the product generously to my edges because it is lightweight. Not everyone has the same hair texture; some naturals may need lightweight products while others may need thicker ones. This lightweight product may be just what the doctor ordered for your gray edges!

I would love to hear from you about the problems you have with your gray hair. Please share your favorite edge controls with me in the comments.
