Tracee Ellis Ross's "Curl Whisperer" Chuck Amos Shares His Hair-Care Essentials

Pattern Edge Control ($14)

"I've used many edge controls, but none are like Tracee's, and it's not just because she's a friend of mine," he says. "When I first used it, I was like, oh wow, this is it."

According to Amos, this edge control does it all: It smoothly lays edges and flyaways, has a long hold yet is still malleable, doesn't flake, and even has "a nice glide to it," which is uncommon for edge controls. "There's a lot of ones that don't have glide, so when you're trying to do the curl, your brush gets stuck, so you have to really go hard into the head, which can sometimes leave redness at the hairline," he says.
