Mink Hair Grows Braid Gel: How to Use for Edges

Quick answer

Use Mink Hair Grows Braid Gel Extreme Hold on clean, sectioned hair to smooth edges and secure braids. Apply a small amount, distribute evenly, and let it set for a polished finish that lasts.

How to apply for sleek edges

1. Start with clean, dry hair: Wash and dry your edges and the surrounding hair. Product builds up less on clean strands, so the gel can grip better. Check that your edges are completely dry before applying; water dilutes the hold.
2. Section the hair you want to smooth: Use a tail comb or your fingertip to isolate the edge area. Keep the rest of your hair clipped or tied back so it doesn't get in the way. Smaller sections are easier to control; don't try to do your whole head at once.
3. Take a pea-sized amount of gel: Scoop a small amount onto your fingertip. A little goes a long way with extreme hold formulas. If you need more, add a tiny bit; it's easier to add than to remove excess.
4. Smooth the gel along the hairline: Using your fingertip or a soft brush, work the gel from root to tip in the direction you want the edge to lie. Press down gently to flatten flyaways. Use light pressure; pressing too hard can cause creases or breakage.
5. Let the gel set and check the finish: Allow the gel to dry for a few minutes. If you see any stray hairs, lightly dampen your fingertip and smooth them down. Once the gel is dry, avoid touching your edges—it can disturb the hold and cause flaking.
