Choose the Right Styling Product

The best product depends on the style you are creating and the type of hold, moisture or finish your hair needs.

Choose by Styling Goal

  • Braids and clean parts: Choose a braiding gel for grip, control and a polished finish.
  • Sleek ponytails and buns: Use a strong styling gel to smooth the hair and control flyaways.
  • Edges: Reach for edge control when you need precise shaping and concentrated hold around the hairline.
  • Curls and coils: Curl activator gels help add definition, moisture and manageability.
  • Locs and twists: Locking gels help keep sections neat while supporting defined twists and retwists.
  • Protective-style refreshes: Mousses and braid sprays help smooth frizz, revive curls and maintain a neat finish between wash days.

AFRIHAIR Styling Tip

Start with a small amount and build only where needed. For sleek styles or edges, smooth the product through the hair, tie it down with a satin scarf and allow it time to set for a longer-lasting finish.
