Organic Root Stimulator Edge Control Review

I promised a review...and now it's happening.  I've been eyeing this product for months- the ORS Edge Control.  I've spotted it on clearance isles, red ticket sales, and being regularly distributed.  I was able to resist because my edges are not that big of a problem area .  I don't get knots or tangling at the hairline, but sometimes, I do want a more polished look.  Hence the reason this product became necessary.  :)  I found it on sale at Walgreens for $3.99.  I'm in a readjustment period and doing lots of bunning after having Crochet braids for 8 weeks.  No better time than now to try it out!  Here's the lowdown from Lori's perspective:

The product claims this:  The perfect control of your edges!   This non-sticky, non-greasy formula allows for an excellent hold without hardening your hair.

The product did have an unusual texture.  I expected it to be looser...or at least more loose than what it was.  It's clear and kind of hard...it feels like it would be an extremely firm clear pomade...but still thicker than any of the other pomades I've tried.  It's kind of hard to scoop any out, you have to dig a little then you get a little more than you bargained for so you scrap a little onto the side.  I don't know...you do have to master that part.  It's also not very melty, so I just rub it on to my edges and grab my smoothing brush to break it up and then work it in with my fingers.  I like it...it gives that hair ripple effect if you apply enough.

I don't know have to work about over-applying.  It smells clean, which I like.  I don't get into having food smells like chocolate or vanilla in my hair.  It's fresh, cotton-clean.  Apply and tie...within minutes you will have smooth edges.  It does hold up to it's claim of not being hard like gel.  I found it to give sufficient hold, but again, my edges aren't that resistant.  I used it on wet hair and didn't have to reapply the next day.  Seems to rinse out easily with a co-wash too!  All in all...this product is a winner.  A great, non-drying, accessible replacement to gel.  I would repurchase.  It will be awhile thought, I suspect it will last for some time.
