If you’re anything like me, then controlling your edges can be difficult. We all know the struggle! Handling your edges can be a process that leaves you feeling hopeless as if they’ll never lay longer than five seconds.
Not to mention that the entire process can be time-consuming and overall frustrating if they don’t turn outright. But I have good news for you. Using these four steps, you would be able to slay them effortlessly.
- Wet your hair and tie it down
Spray your edges with a little bit of water before applying a pomade and/or gel to make it last longer. Apply edge control product on slightly damp hair and style. Tie a headband or a satin scarf over your hairline and leave it on for five to 10 minutes.
This will help your edges stay slicked down and frizz-free. It is important to note that this works best if you’re wearing your hair in a natural style. I wouldn’t apply water to hair that has just been silk pressed.
2. Use the ideal combo of edge control and gel
Mix a little bit of edge control and your favorite gel and you’ll create the perfect concoction. For the best results, apply a thin layer of edge control with a little dab of maximum hold hair gel. Using too much can make your hair look super white and waxy, and you definitely don’t want that!
3. Blow cool air on your edges
Using heat can cause damage which is why blasting your edges with cold air is a more suitable option. Blow drying your edges will make the edge control dry faster and seal your hair in its style while using the cool setting reduces the probability of damage.
4. Moisturise your edges
Applying a couple of products to your hair especially on the daily is one key cause of dryness. To avoid dryness and frizz from accumulating, apply a dash of hair pudding, cream or a spritz of water before applying edge control and gel.
