I absolutely LOVE everything Hair to Beauty, .
except this. The first time I bought this gel, the black had "melted" (it was liquid on top separated from the gel stuck to the bottom). It does not "hold" the edges down at all (Jam does a better job). If you stir it with your finger, you may get enough to temporarily color your edges but that MIGHT last a couple of hours. Thinking it may have just been a bad batch, I purchased another in black and brown. Same thing happened after about two weeks. They both sit in the bathroom drawer, not exposed to heat of any kind. I am a total fan of this site, but this product is a waste of money.
