What is the best gel to do knotless braids ? Box braids ? Cornrows ? 

Shine n Jam is the best

Great info thank you! I’ve been braiding my hair since I was a teenager and am in my late 30s now and I always avoided adding products to braids because of that inevitable buildup. Buuut, now that my hair is fully natural, I’m realizing I definitely need something 😅. This was super helpful, thank you!

I used the yellow shine n jam to do the bohemian twists on myself and I agree it didn’t have good hold, if I redo these twists next time I’ll use the red jar. Thanks for this video 🧡🧡

African Pride Braid Loc & Twist Gel is also really good with maintaining frizz & clean parts

I have that Orange/yellow shine n jam, for a product that says extra hold... it holds nothing, i have the finest hair known to man, and i didn't hold it down, but when i took out the jumbo braids i put in with a rubber band method, my hair was alarmingly still moisturised and moist after 4-5 days.

Thanks for this! Edge booster most definitely leaves residue, and I won’t use that one anymore

Thank youuuuu. I’m a beginner braider and I’ve been using the yellow shine n jam but realized some clients curls revert. I’ll be switching to the red one :)

I'm tired of gels. They make your hair look so dirty after a day or two of applying it. Will try one of these 👍 stay connected

For the edge booster use the green one with the black cap it’s way better I use it for my hair everyday

The reg shine and jam in the yellow bottle is the best yes the red one works but it’s 3x as expensive just for the name no shade to magic fingered

I use Murray's edge wax it works really well with 4 hair types

I’m about to try to do some knotless braids on myself today so Ima trust u girl & use red shine & jam lol idk y I’m so scared of my root reverting & it looking crazy 🤣🤣

This was extremely helpful thank you so much for taking time to share this!

Bought the red jar today for my faux locs. It's my first time, so looks like I'm on the right path

Just the information I was looking for. Thank you so much.

I’ve come to this conclusion. Soft edge control doesn’t turn white but it dries soft and melts fast. Hard edge control holds very good but it’s a possibility of leaving residue. So which one y’all choosing soft or hard?

I needed this video😫I’m doing knotless braids on my hair today

thank you so much for this video very helpful i did get the shine n jam yesterday for my daugther hair her braids was everything..

Thank you for this video. I have the orange shine n jam. I couldn’t decide if I should try Edge booster or the red shine n jam magic fingers for both of my daughters hair. I think imma try the red one

I use the yellow shine and jam bc it’s common but it doesn’t have a good hold with knotless braids my braids last a good week with them

I use the purple shine n jam. The red dried out too much , the yellow was too oily. Purple is a nice in between for me.

Have you ever tried the Ebin Braid Formula( red top). It's my newfound favorite to use when I braid my daughters hair. Has a good hold and leaves the hair looking so shiny for weeks.

What about different braiding hair for different types of hair for broads like knotless

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Really needed this video !!! What do you think about gummy wax? Also do you think magic fingers is great for all hair types ?

Which shine n jam would work better on relaxed hair? Idk if the yellow would help with the moisture but at the same time not hold it well enough

I feel like edge controls is for edges . Not the whole head

The last product is the best but its soooo expensive

Thanks for this . I wanna try shine and jam but really don’t wanna pay $10 and it works like trash but jam doesn’t work for me any more when corn rowing my hair. Does keep it moisturized at least but no kinda hold what so ever ugh

Red jam the best for me

Thank you so much!

Shine n jam makes me itch badly. Is there an alternative?

your nailssss sis your nailsss ♥️♥️♥️

I like shine n jam but the red jar is quite pricey, a bit too pricey for me so I buy the yellow jar which I like as well it’s pricey too just not as pricey as the red jar, yellow jar holds pretty good on freshly clean dry hair and it gives my hair the moisture it needs but edge controls/tamers in general are quite expenses very little product and has the issue of not holding all day or turning white, which is very frustrating like why can’t they get it right with these products how hard is it to make them hold no get rid of whatever it causing it to turn white and make your hair look dirty, I’m so tempted to try and make my own edge control that holds and leave no white cast cause it ain’t cheap trying to find the perfect edge control, which I’ve yet to find

Does the yellow shine and jam leave a residue? Can’t seem to find the red one in the UK

What do you recommend to sleek natural hair? (without hair being stretched out first)

Thank you for this video!! Is the magic fingers good for all hair types better than the original shine and jam ?❤️

Shine and jam is just too greasy for me some times it’s ok then sometimes it’s terrible

I’ve been trying to find something to help when I braid my husband’s hair into biking styles, but honestly all these aids are so full of fragrance that it gives me a headache. Any good fragrance free options?

The red shine n jam looked so oily on my hair when I did my knotless idk what else to use that’ll get my hair slick

What's the hairstyle you have in this video?

Tfs.... very informative

Appreciate this video

its gonna be my first time getting knotless braids at home (family member doing it) and didnt know what to get so thanks

What about the orange shine n jam? I see some utube braiders using that one.

I have a few questions about how long the gel can stay in my hair and what gel would you recommend I have long and straight hair, I would like to do box braids and if I could put gel in my hair because I am afraid it will destroy my hair?

What about in straight hair?

I don’t like shine n jam for natural hair clients

What was your rating for the edge booster?

Hello! Genuine questione here. Is it offensive or disrespectful if a non black person does protective hairstyles like this? I dont know much about this topic since Im asian and I dont live in America but I do have curly hair and there are just times I really dont feel like taking an extra step ng styling. Im looking for techniques I can use because my hair really gets a bit untamable sometimes. If this is not acceptable in your culture I wont do it though.

Are these gels the same ones used for edges?

Does these gels make ur hair fall off?

This jam don't work unless you got loose texture hair or chemically changes hair 😡

would eco gel do good job

Girl why waste time talking about gels you wouldn’t use for braiding if the video is supposed to be about gels we should use ? This could be a whole different video just saying
