Jen is the poster child of a style & beauty junkie — from the latest eyeshadow palette launch to the wildest moments from NYFW, she's one of the first to know about it. As a proud public school graduate from SUNY New Paltz, her work has been featured in top publications such as PAPER Magazine, INSIDER, and COOLS. When she's not swatching the latest highlighters and lipsticks, she's busy being a cat mom, sipping on rosé, and binge-watching Netflix cooking shows.
Sleek updos have made a major comeback this year. But for those of us with curlier strands, unruly baby hairs that surround the perimeter of our heads can easily create an untamed, messy finish to even the straightest of ponytails. That's why when the going gets tough with our teeny strays, we reach for strong-hold hair gels. These products can lock your edges into place, no matter how naturally kinky they may be. So, instead of letting frizzy baby hairs ruin your otherwise tamed mane, grab one of these edge-control gels for an on-fleek finish.
Dr. Miracle's Edge Holding Gel ($5)
Schwarzkopf Smooth 'N Shine Straight Conditioning Gel ($4)
OGX Low Shine + Bamboo Fiber Texture Flexible Fiber Wax ($7)
