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!!❤️😘😘
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!!😘💞
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?
I just need to slick down my my 4XYZ edges. Do you recommend the pomade for rough edges? My edges don’t match my hair at all. My edges are disrespectful and need to be tamed.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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! 💞
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.
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
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 :-)
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 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 !!! Best video I have seen I accidentally bought the pomade not knowing the difference but I like the pomade better for a ninja bun SUBSCRIBED ! 💗
I can't tell you how much I appreciated this video!! I want to give you a hug..lol. I'm actually headed to the beauty store now and I know which one to get. Thank you thx u!!
Your hair is fine that's why it's easy for you, but it's a struggle to slick my thick strands dense hair in a ponytail. Will be trying style factor gel soon with got to be spray on top.
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.
I love n use the pomade for everything!!! Wash n goes, slick downs everything!!! I have puffy roots and this product is the shit! And now the pomade comes in the bigger jaw👀👀👀👀🤪🤪🤪🤪, I'm blown away in 💕💕💕!!!
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 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)
Great video love thiis video, I've always wanted t know the difference between Style Affect Gel and Pomade edge booster, very helpful thanks for sharing!
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.
Hello, Please can you tell me where you got the green brush you used on the edge control in this video I have been looking everywhere for that brush! 😊
I was happy I came across your video! I wamtes to get thos gel but its a big investment to not work well on my hair. Thank you for the comparison I bought the gel on amazon.
My granddaughter got real coarse hair she twelve no gel slick down her hair jam don't work brown styling gel don't work I have use different gel they don't work what kind of gel do I need
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....
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.
Oh my goodness 😍😍😍😍so I never ever comment , I came back just to say thank you Mona 🥰🥰🥰, thank you for sharing I have 4c hair and the style factor pomade is perfect for edges 😭😭😆😆and the style factor gel is perfect for the hair this stufff is legit and I even when to family dollar and I found the same black scarf . Let’s just say I’m stocking up on everything 😊😊😊😊😊😊
The only thing is I wish they had a bigger pomade because I have a lot of hair and with that small jar you can only get some uses but with the gel u get a lot more uses
Thank you for the time you took out to talk about these products, very informative , much appreciated. I have a question , can I use the pomade through my whole head , and because it holds so well do you think it can be mixed with another gel, and still get the hold/ or a good hold? Thanks for your reply back in advance.
Nope, most of the beauty supply stores don't know of it but said he had a few ppl ask for it. There were some overpriced ones on amazon but they're gone now
What am I doing wrong? I have the edge control and it gets really white and flaky on my edges. This is regardless of if there's product in my hair or not...if my hair was damp or dry. If I use a blow dryer and scarf or not....it always gets white.

Definitely. Sleek baby!!! Go Mona!!💃💃Thanx a bunch again. You're d bomb💖💖👌😀.
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?
melinda brown Same here, thought I was getting a large pomade!
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?

I love the fact that you tried it for a day to tell us what it was like. Thank you ❤️
I would use the pomade for my edges and use the gel for my puff 😍😍 the gel really defines your waves 🥵
Does the gel work for slicked backs for 4c/4b type hair?
@@destinyofforji6318 yes!
@@destinyofforji6318 yes I have 4c hair
@@Auyhunnachyell1 thank you! I’ve been looking for sone good inexpensive gel and edge control
@@michelleasonye7677 np luv❤️
I might just use both, my 4c be trippn. Gel then pomade on top of it😀😀😀😛😛
Gel looks really natural. Pomade would look good if adding a straight ponytail.
I agree & You might be on to something!!
I ain't gone lie, I was going with the POMADE at first
Omgggg, girlfriend you save the day for us women with 4c. On my way to the hair nowww. Thanks so much.
I need that pomade for my edges! Cause gel doesn't seem to hold my hair will curl up
The way your edges slicked down was so beautiful
Thank you!!❤️
Both sides look good but I prefer the gel side best, can't wait to see it in stores in the Caribbean .
I agree I prefer the gel side as well!!
Can't wait for it to also come to the UK!

This is the 1st time ive ever watched a hair video to the end, your content is really eye catching
Add water before using the pomade and it wont turn white
Oh thanks girl the tip. I'mma try this
You mean we should add water to the pomade before using it

When I use the pomade, while I’m out and about if I notice the flaking I use a little bit of warm water to get the residue off
Did your pommade also turn white after some tym

Jess Looking did you hair flake ???
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.
I love the stiffness of the pomade because my edges don’t move!
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
Exactly

I love both sides, but the pomade is giving me life!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the video. You did a great job comparing the two. I've been using the pomade, I'm switching to the gel for everyday use. Thanks again.
I love watching your videos i could watch them all day. Your're doing a great job.
Heading to the hair store now 🤣🏃🏾♀️
Lollll
So they sell this in the hair store??
@@metrotmoblie6075 which ones?
Metro Tmoblie yeah. I saw it on the shelf at mines.
The pomade gave it a nice shine.
Thanks for the video! I ended up purchasing both after thinking I was buying a large pomade, but it was the gel.

Thank you!!❤️
Hi Mona, I like them both. The pomade made yr hair appear to have more waves 🌊 and I liked that look on u. It’s yr girl Landy. Thank u.
Hey! Yes I totally agree!!❤️
Nar the gel hv more waves. The pomade is definitely more undefining and slick

I've always wanted to try that gel, afraid because I heard it caused flakes. Thanks for this vid! 💖
It only flaked on me a little once before but it’s nothing that water can’t fix. Most gel flakes. Thanks for watching!❤️
Mine didn't
I like the gel on your hair and the pomade on your edges
I was about to buy them but didn't know the difference, thanks to you.

Which one is the one that leaves flake??
Mona, will this product leave flakes after it dry on your hair?
Wonderful video.

I the love the gel side because I love a looser look on my natural hair. Thank you for this video very helpful
Is the gel a harder hold than the palmade
I'M LIKING THE GEL I WILL BE TRYING IT... THANKS !!
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.
Are they all the same number hold (on the back it has the number of hold)
This gel is good! Does it flake?
Your hair texture is sooo... beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Pomade is better. Yes! Thank you You Queen
I agree with you. I prefer the textured look.
Yes!!

Hi Mona
How often does a style last with gel or pomade? How often do you have to reapply before washing it?
I use the pomade and it lasted me a whole day. The next morning it still looked good. I have curly hair

Which one do you think is better the yellow or the pink?🤔
They’re the same! They just have different scents
Mona B. Ok thanks 🙏🏾 I was confused because I was seeing most 4c girls use the yellow
The only thing is I wish they had a bigger pomade because I have a lot of hair and with that small jar you can only get some uses but with the gel u get a lot more uses
Your hair is growing!!!
