Shop on AmazonMaximum Hold Braiding Gel 10 oz
A professional-strength braiding gel in a generous 10 oz jar. The high-shine formula delivers maximum hold for micro braids, box braids, locs, twists, faux locs and edges without flaking, crumbling or leaving white residue.
Smooth onto each braid section before braiding for a sleek, clean finish. Use it along the hairline for laid edges that stay put all day. Works on all hair types and textures.
Strong hold that stays clean through every braid
Most braiding gels fall short in one of two ways: either they do not hold well enough to keep braids smooth, or they flake and leave white residue along the braids and hairline as they dry. Pink Lemon maximum hold braiding gel solves both problems.
The formula is strong enough to smooth out frizz and hold each section flat from root to tip during the braiding process, and it stays clean as it sets so there is no visible flaking or buildup, even on darker hair.
At 10 oz, the jar is large enough for multiple full installs. Pair it with virgin Remi deep bulk braiding hair and braid oil for a complete braiding kit that covers hold, texture and scalp care.

How to use braiding gel for best results
A few simple steps make the difference between a braid that frizzes after a week and one that looks fresh for weeks.
Start with clean, detangled hair
Wash and fully dry your natural hair before braiding. Braiding gel works best on clean hair without product buildup from previous styles.
Apply gel to each section before braiding
Scoop a small amount of gel onto your fingertips or a brush and smooth it along each section of hair from root to tip before you begin braiding that section.
Braid while the gel is still wet
Work each braid while the gel is still damp for the smoothest finish. The gel sets as you braid and holds the pattern in place as it dries.
Lay edges with a brush
Apply a small amount along the hairline and use an edge brush or toothbrush to smooth the edges in the direction of hair growth. Let it set for a few minutes before touching.
Finish with braid oil on the scalp
After the install is complete, apply braid oil along each part directly to the scalp to moisturize the skin underneath and keep the style looking fresh between washes.
Everything you need for a full braiding install
The gel handles the hold. The hair gives you the foundation. The oil keeps your scalp healthy throughout.
