My Review:

I bought this product back in Decemeber when I had first started wearing my hair out. I was wearing my hair in buns and the edges were a hotfrizzymess.com! I had heard about this product and thought it would be a good product to slick down my edges. Not quite sure if SLICK is the right word for what this product does. Applying it, is more like PLASTERING the hair down.  It did the job of keeping my edges at bay, but I can't say that it lasted all day long. After using it for several days, I noticed white gunk on my edges/flakes. :-/

The Short and Sweet: 2 out of 5 stars! It was a pretty thick product that was somewhat difficulty to put in my palm and spread on my edges. If it was in one of those stick tubes where you can apply it directly to the hair, it may be easier to apply. It did give some hold but it didn't last all day. The buildup... #icannot. I may use this from time-to-time but it won't be anything I rebuy.
