Perhaps you have been watching hair vloggers and influencers lay their baby hairs aka hair edges, and wonder how they do it so well. Contrary to beliefs and myths, it is possible to lay baby hairs on natural hair. So it is not compulsory to have relaxed hair.
Laying baby hair is not a big deal, you can achieve similar results with the right products and regime. Find below tips on how to lay your baby hair like a hair pro;
1. Firstly, use water on your baby hair before anything. Ensure that your hair is clean first. Dirts prevent your edges from staying like they should. So once you have ensured that your hair is clean, dip your hand into the water and rub on your edges to get them wet. You can use a spray bottle instead.
2. Use good edge controls, the type that gives result. Ensure your edge control actually controls edges. Beware of some types of edge controls that influencers hype which do not work for all types of hair. Find what work bests with your hair.
3.Many people believe the best way to get sleek edges is to use gel. Quite true, gel would provide the most hold, but you can also try other products as well. Also avoid drying alcohols like ethanol, propanol, propyl, isopropyl, and isobutane.
4. You should water your brush. After applying the edge control, before you use your brush to make your hair designs or brushing, dip the brush into water first. Ensure the brush stays wet throughout the regime so water close by.
5.After you are done laying your baby hairs, ensure they stay flat all day long. To achieve this, tie a scarf around the edge of your hair. This ensures your baby hair stays flat and it also cleans up the excess leaving your edges neat.
