The G(low) Down:
Building on the “grippy, sticky, drippy” icon that sells every three seconds, e.l.f. is growing the Power Grip e.l.f.iverse from makeup into hair with two new styling launches dropping March 4: Power Grip Styling Wand and the limited-edition Power Grip Hair Gel Pomade + Brush bundle.
Our $5 Styling Wand delivers fast-drying, long-lasting hold to tame frizz and slick flyaways with targeted brush strokes, while the $11 Hair Gel Pomade + Brush bundle offers lightweight, high-grip control for wet or dry hair—made for sleek, locked-down looks that stay put.
These launches follow a year of Power Grip innovations and are fueled by cultural hair trends from slick-back content to #hairgel view spikes. The drop is available for a limited time on elfcosmetics.com or on TikTok shop, while supplies last.
Power Grip Primer has long been a holy grail in our lineup – coveted for its tacky texture and makeup-gripping magic that keeps your base locked from day to night. Now, your favorite grippy, sticky, drippy primer is leveling up once again…with an extra exciting twist.

Power Grip hair styling products come on the heels of a year filled with Power Grip innovations inspired by our community.
In May 2025, we released 3X more grip and drip with Jumbo Power Grip Primer — 72 mL of product starting at $24, compared to 24 mL for the OG.
For e.l.f.’s first-ever “Prime-r Day” on TikTok Shop we dropped a mammoth Mega Power Grip Primer for just $11 — the exact same price as the original 0.8-ounce Power Grip Primer, with 50x the amount of drip. That limited-edition behemoth sold out in under two minutes.
And the Power Grip phenomenon isn’t the only community insight we’ve been tuned the e.l.f. in on. TikTok views for Slick Back Hairstyles are up +148% YoY (as of 2/15/26) in the U.S.**, while #hairgel has over 2.0B views in the U.S. in the last 7 days alone (as of 2/25/26).*** The message is loud and clear: our community is slicking it back, locking it down, and serving sleek on repeat.
So, we turned to a kindred spirit who sees the everyday the way we do – as a canvas for bold, joyful expression. Enter our limited-edition Power Grip Clips, created with our beloved bestie from San Francisco, Jenny Lemons. Jennie is known for transforming everyday objects into joyful, wearable art, bringing the playful twist and fearless creativity that fuels the Power Grip universe. Crafted from plant-based cellulose acetate and designed in San Francisco before being ethically made by skilled artisans, these clips prove that sustainable can still be fun, fashionable, and built to last. Available in two collectible forms – the $7 Power Grip Clip and the $18 Drip Clip – each piece delivers the same “grippy, drippy” staying power you know and love, now reimagined into playful accessories that elevate any do.
Choose the Mini Claw Clip for fine to medium hair and shorter styles—it’s lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for bangs, twists, and half-up looks. For thicker hair or full updos, the Large Claw Clip’s extra teeth deliver serious staying power, keeping any style from buns to French twists locked in all day. Whether you reach for one of Jenny’s juicy, food-inspired shapes or the signature teal Power Grip Drip Clip, each piece fuses her playful artistry with the grip you know and love. These iconic clips will be exclusively available for Beauty Squad members on February 6. FYI, joining Beauty Squad is free as e.l.f.!
