Blow drying your edges will make the edge control dry faster and seal your hair in its smooth style. This method works the best if you struggle with your hair reverting back to curly just minutes after applying product. Most modern blow dryers* come with both a cool setting also known as a cool shot, meaning they blow out cool instead of warm or hot air.Īfter brushing edge control gel into your hair, quickly dry it by blasting your edges with cool air. I know in your head you’re saying “wait, using a blow dryer* is applying heat!” but this isn’t always the case. This is where your blow dryer comes into play. However, others are not comfortable with using heat at all, particularly on their edges being the most fragile part. Some people have no problem applying heat to their edges, especially if they’re wearing a hairstyle that required heat for the rest of their hair. However, this combo can be problematic or ineffective for me when it is humid out so I make a switch to Keracare Edge Tamer during the warmer seasons. It leaves my hair soft and conditioned while still taming my edges. My favorite combination is Crème of Nature Argan Oil Perfect Edges and Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel. Be sure to stay away from gels that harden your hair or flake after drying to avoid crunchy looking edges. This rule is especially true when using both an edge control and hair gel because using too much can make your hair look super white and waxy, and you definitely don’t want that.įor the best results, apply a thin layer of edge control and then secure it with a dab of maximum hold hair gel.

The key to using two or more hair products at the same time is to start off with using just a little bit of each.

After that, your edges will be properly slicked down and should remain free of frizz all day. When it is time to remove the scarf, carefully lift it off your edges to avoid creating fly aways. Tie it tight enough to press down your edges and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. After you’ve styled your edges to your liking, take a tight headband* or a folded silk or satin scarf and place it over your hairline.
