Struggling to keep your edges laid? Whether humidity, dryness, or product buildup is causing your edges to frizz up, we’ve got you covered! Here are five quick fixes to keep your edges sleek, smooth, and in place all day.
1. Use a Strong-Hold Edge Control
Not all edge controls are created equal! Look for a high-hold, non-flaking formula like Gator Grip Edge Control, which is designed to keep your edges in place without causing buildup. Apply a small amount and smooth it in with an edge brush for the best results.
2. Wrap Your Edges After Styling
One of the easiest ways to ensure your edges stay laid is by wrapping them after styling. Use a silk or satin scarf to tie down your edges for at least 10–15 minutes. This helps the product set, keeping your edges sleek for longer.
3. Apply Edge Control on Damp Hair
Applying edge control on slightly damp hair allows the product to absorb better and hold longer. Lightly mist your edges with water before applying your product to lock in moisture and reduce frizz.
4. Avoid Product Buildup
Overusing edge control can cause flaking and buildup, making your edges harder to lay. To keep your hairline fresh, cleanse your edges with a gentle shampoo or a damp cloth before reapplying product.
5. Seal with a Lightweight Holding Spray
For extra hold, finish off with a non-sticky, lightweight holding spray. This adds an extra layer of protection against humidity and frizz, keeping your edges intact all day.
