Mizani Edge Taming Gel, $14 The Score: 9
This edge-taming formula is one of the best of the bunch. It's free of mineral oil and petrolatum, it's infused with anti-breakage ceramides, vitamin E and natural oils, and it's not water-based, so it won't alter natural hair textures. It isn't greasy, it has a faint scent and, best of all, it doesn't flake or get crunchy on any hair type. The downside: It's pricey and the formula, although transparent, can leave a white residue when it dries. To prevent this, use sparingly and remove excess build-up between applications.
