A conditioning pomade for edges, slickback ponytails, braids, locks and twists. Firm hold, lightweight finish, no flakes and no grease.
What it does
- Lays edges and smooths fly-aways with a firm, all-day hold

- Rinses clean in a single wash
- Sweat and humidity resistant
Why it is different
The hold comes from vegan beeswax rather than petroleum. Petroleum grips by sealing hair under a film — the same film that builds up on your scalp and flakes as it dries. Vegan beeswax gives a pliable hold that moves with your style, and lets the conditioning ingredients actually reach the hair. Formulated and made in our own facility since 1992.
Who it is for
All hair types and textures, including natural, relaxed and chemically treated hair. Suitable for daily styling and protective styles.

What customers say
Real Hair Care owners.
This is the only holding gel I can use that keeps my hair super soft and doesn't flake!
I'm SO glad I did! My edges stayed sleek, smooth, and laid the entire night.
Non greasy, no mess and edges don't raise up when sweating. It smells good also.

How it works.
Our chemists replaced damaging petroleum with vegan beeswax. This creates a flexible barrier that holds your style in place while allowing conditioning ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft for long-term health.

Questions, answered.
Petroleum coats the hair, blocking moisture and causing thinning. We use vegan beeswax which provides a strong, flexible hold while allowing nutrients to reach your hair.
Absolutely not. Our formula is designed to rinse out completely in one wash, leaving your hair soft and your scalp free of itchy residue or white cast.
We have manufactured our own products in-house for 34 years. Our lab is so trusted that major retailers like Target and Sephora use our expertise.
Up to 24 hours of hold - through humidity, workouts and long days. Our vegan beeswax base grips without going stiff, so your style moves with you instead of cracking or lifting when you sweat.
Yes. Our formulas are made for every texture - relaxed, natural, fine or coarse - and for the styles you actually wear: edges, braids, cornrows, locs and twists. Same clean hold, no buildup, whatever your pattern.
