How to Lay your Edges in 3 ways | Natural Hair

 
When you want a neat look to a hairstyle, laying your edges can pull the all style together and make it look even more presentable. Depending on the texture of the hair located along your hairline, it can be difficult to do this.

PRODUCTS TO USE
 The most common and most effective product to use is an edge tamer. There are several types of edge tamers from the light consistency to the thick paste kind. Which every type you choose depends on your hair texture. If you have more coarser hair, choose a thicker paste, and if you have fine hair, choose light consistency one.

The hold level of the product you decide to use also matter, so be mindful of that. If you prefer a more natural look, you can also try using thick oils like castor oil.

Some people also prefer using gels. Remember, if you do use gel, always moisture your hair prior to applying the gel to your edges.

HOW TO LAY YOUR EDGES
1. Spritz edges very lightly with water to moisturize your edges and also help in spreading edge tamer.

2. Apply your edge tamer of choice. Smoothen with fingers as you apply.

3. Apply a little spritz of water and brush edges with a soft brush.

4. If your edges have a thicker texture, use a scarf like a bandana to lay your edges, or double wrap your satin scarf. If you have finer hair, use a scarf. To prevent lines, don't tie too tightly.

    I know I say this every time I post but your babies are adorable.

    This video brings back memories from my perm days lol I can't even tell you the last time I worried about my edges.

    I was never a big fan of gel (still not) but I did do the shea butter and scarf trick.

      Thank you Thank you. LOL! I am not a big fan of gel too, only use it sparingly. Whenever, I do, I make sure that it contains no alcohol. The shea butter is good because you also get the "sealant properties" while laying your edges.
      Thanks for watching.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
