This video is a talk through!!! Hey MB Crew!!! I forgot to mention in the video that the gel & pomade is kinda sticky until they dry!! The battle starts at 4:41 if you’d like to skip ahead!! Love y’all!!❤️😘😘

[@melindabrown1463]

I made a mistake and got the gel because I thought it was a larger size of the pomade. It does not lay my edges down at all. I thought they changed the ingredients 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Thankfully I ran across your video to explain the differences. I thought I had to shop for another edge control. I tried lotta body it didn't work that pomade laid my edges for 10 mins lol. I also ordered a new edge control online called I am Blessed hands but she gave me a refund of my $15😮😮so back to edge booster I go!! Yes $15 for edge control it better perform miracles. Thanks again for your review!!😘💞

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Definitely. Sleek baby!!! Go Mona!!💃💃Thanx a bunch again. You're d bomb💖💖👌😀.

[@lovelydiva06]

Does the pomade get greasy and cause your hair to frizz up and lose hold after a few minutes to an hour like most edge controls or conditioning gels?

[@mistybmorris]

melinda brown Same here, thought I was getting a large pomade!

[@dizbitchizcrazyific]

I want to do some passion twists which do you recommend to use for the actual twist part? I have 4c hair but it curls when I usually use the gel. Or should I use a little of both?

[@Auyhunnachyell1]

I would use the pomade for my edges and use the gel for my puff 😍😍 the gel really defines your waves 🥵

[@roslynjones5886]

Sy Muwah Sis, this only works for me if I’m not sweating!!! I had to run around on my job one day and it was an epic fail!!! I sweat from my head, so that’s a whole thing. When I’m not sweating, it works just fine for most of the day.

[@amaiyadoakes996]

That the same for me 😂

Gel looks really natural. Pomade would look good if adding a straight ponytail.

[@MonaB]

I agree & You might be on to something!!

[@cocorenee1595]

I ain't gone lie, I was going with the POMADE at first

[@YouKnowMe2011]

Chile I love them both. Its all about the look u want at the time. Pomade gives you that SNATCHED SLEEK look. While the gel gives you that naturally laid look. Gel would be my everyday look though.

[@DutchessRoyal]

Omgggg, girlfriend you save the day for us women with 4c. On my way to the hair nowww. Thanks so much.

[@AJ-cv2ws]

The way your edges slicked down was so beautiful

[@MonaB]

Thank you!!❤️

[@dmason5249]

I need that pomade for my edges! Cause gel doesn't seem to hold my hair will curl up

[@christinamorris6272]

I love the stiffness of the pomade because my edges don’t move!

[@candaceturner2535]

Ohhhhhhh that explains a lot. My sister and I was using the small jar. I saw the big jar and thought it was the same. My sister bought the jar thinking it was the pomade but just bigger. She kept saying it's not the same. We didn't know there was a gel and a pomade.

[@Nadjeeauguste18]

Add water before using the pomade and it wont turn white

[@superiorpanda6449]

Oh thanks girl the tip. I'mma try this

[@awuraama6833]

You mean we should add water to the pomade before using it

[@taredo3]

@@awuraama6833 Wet your hair before using it I love it and I just found out through an ingredient check that it contains Green Tea oil. I am keeping my hair short and it really defines my curls keeping my hair soft all day. I also use an oil under it.

Finally a video with my hair texture. Everyone that’s I’ve found was mixed with something and claim to be type 4 hair. I think I’m going to try this on my hair.

[@beverlyerskine7470]

Both sides look good but I prefer the gel side best, can't wait to see it in stores in the Caribbean .

[@MonaB]

I agree I prefer the gel side as well!!

[@christine1962ful]

Can't wait for it to also come to the UK!

[@janelljackson983]

The hair seemed less wavy with the pomade 💯 thank you for this tutorial because it was greatly needed when choosing which product I need to achieve the look I was going for.

[@sarahmoses1910]

I like them both but the pomade looks like it has the stronger hold.

[@danashiabeaver2487]

So as a tip to everyone, wait 2 minutes after applying any edge control to allow the edge control to “attach” to the spot you want to be laid. When you brush it right after applying, you brush the edge control “through” your hair. As you can see, the product from her edge control is now sitting at the ends of her puff, especially on the left side 😊

[@MonaB]

That’s not why sis but go off!! It’s because I used a lot of product for the purpose of this videos. Thanks tho 🙂

[@danashiabeaver2487]

@@MonaB Hun I wasn't coming for you, it has happened to me before too until I discovered that letting the edge control dry a little bit before styling actually creates a better hold and I also don't need to use as much edge control. Good job on your video sus. :)

Thank you for this video.. ive been trying all kinds of different gels, edge controls, waxes to try to.hold my thin 4c hair down and finally I feel confident that I won't have a problem with my sleek ponytails ever again! I went and bought the pomade after your video and am now wearing a top knot bun and bang on.its SECOND day and my hair is holding and in.place! Omg I'm.soo happy thank you! It's opening up doors.for a bunch of new styles and I feel confident that I can do them.myself! 💞

[@tanashjasanders3594]

Jess Looking did you hair flake ???

[@Kobewhop]

Hey 👋 Mona girl! Great tutorial however the edge booster pomade gave me all the flakes so I tried edge fixer max hold by Kiss and it worked wonders! 24hr hold, used it daily on my edges only and no flakes until about 3 weeks after using it daily due to product build up. Hope this helps someone, 4c hair and my hair is thick, thick! BTW, we share the same name :-)

[@bevybabydoll9414]

I love both sides, but the pomade is giving me life!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@MizzTiaraB618]

So glad I found your channel! This comparison was so helpful! Tfs! ♥️

[@MonaB]

Glad it helped!! Thanks for watching!!❤️

[@lovelydiva06]

I like the shine and sleek hold of the pomade more but one thing I don’t like about edge control type of gels is that they tend to get greasy, frizz up and lose hold after a hour or so, I mean it has its benefits as it doesn’t dry out the hair like regular gel but I just wish the hold was longer and it didn’t get so greasy

[@aisha2luv464]

Exactly

[@shayehazell]

I feel especially the water based pomade does not hold good on coily kinky any 4 type hair, i feel it would do better on 3c hair. however the edge booster non water based extra strength pomade they have does work very good on 4 type hair in my opinion but i love their products always lay my edges with this.

[@capri491]

I really like how you throughly compared both products. I'm sold on both, it's not easy to find a good for our 4c hair.

[@Christlike2323]

I personally love this gel.... The gel dried faster on my hair. My ponytail last for 7 days without using a scarf. No lie.... I love the smell. I shampoo my hair, towel dry, style then add gel. Sometimes, I put a scarf on my hair while drying.

[@tabbyhoney3133]

I was about to buy them but didn't know the difference, thanks to you.

[@thikknikk5]

I love em both, but I prefer the gel for my 4c hair💖 Ty💖

[@ash_lee_12]

I think people prioritize hair type and its ability to slick to often because it really has a lot to do with the thickness of your hair I haven’t quite identified my hair type yet but i think its like 3a/3b which is typically easy to deal with hair and usually is pretty thin but my hair is THICK but the actual curls are loose, my hair does not even go flat to the scalp when soaking wet (my hair in the pic is damp with deep conditioner)

[@yalandabray8370]

I just stood in the beauty supply store for 15 minutes trying to figure out which one to get. 😒 I shoulda watched you first! I love the pomade on the puff, but the gel for the edges. I'm wondering if the pomade flaked because of the oil... Now, I wish I had gotten both of them.😁

I’ve never used the gel only the pomade. Pomade is fire. My baby hair are on FLEEK....baby hairs on new born, incubator if you will lol I didn’t get any flaking with the pomade Malay be because I oil my scalp and hair line before or after (doesn’t really matter) I apply my leave in conditioner.

Not sure if they have tweaked the formula but mine started to turn into oil 5 mins later. I haven't found anything to really hold my edges down. I even spend 15 bucks on hicks edge control and that turned oily as well. I'm about to scream lol....

[@read_the_comments]

EBIN edge control. Only thing that works for me. Have to tie edges down or it can turn white, but rub a little water on the area if it happens. Edges stay in place all day no flakes! Mixes well with different products too.

[@carmengyal2361]

You gotta be careful how you apply it because if it is too much applied in one spot causes it to do that flaking. I mist and oil/grease the hair with the pomade.
