As someone who does hair for a living, I get asked constantly about products for thinning edges and hairlines. Kerry Berry's Growth & Thicken Paste caught my attention because it promises to do two things at once: lay your edges AND support thickening, instead of just being another slick gel that does nothing for hair health.
The paste comes in a simple jar (available in 100g and 200g sizes) with a smooth, buttery texture that's easy to scoop with two fingers. It's noticeably thicker than most edge control gels, which is part of the point - it's meant to coat and protect the hair shaft, not just hold it flat.
On application, a small amount goes a long way. It laid down flyaways and baby hairs cleanly without the crunchy, flaky finish some edge pastes leave behind. Over consistent use, my clients with thinning edges reported the area felt less brittle and looked fuller, which lines up with the "thicken" half of the promise.
Pros: Dual-purpose formula (hold + thickening support), smooth non-flaky finish, works well on fine and coily textures, travel-friendly jar sizes.
Cons: Thickening results build gradually and require consistent daily use; not a substitute for treating underlying hair loss causes.
If you're dealing with thinning edges and want a styling paste that at least tries to support the hair instead of just masking the problem, Kerry Berry's Growth & Thicken Paste is worth adding to your routine. Check current pricing and availability here.
