Amazing Strong Hold Gel

"So I used the Strong Hold Gel for the 1st time yesterday and it is amazing. It defined my curls naturally and beautifully. It is not a gel that leaves your hair hard. It works with your curls, which is very good. I used it like I said for the first time after I washed my hair and applied the leave in conditioner and the moisture milk and my hair looks very healthy. It made my curls fuller healthy looking."

Q&A

How good is the hold on thick natural tight hair? I have used many different types of gel and they do not hold down my edges
Strong hold gel provides a maximum, yet flexible, hold. However, if you are looking for a gel to hold your edge down we recommend the edge control gel. Find that here: https://patternbeauty.com/products/edge-control
