No matter the season, keeping your edges laid can be a challenge. From summer humidity to winter dryness, weather conditions can impact how well your edge control holds up. Here’s how you can keep your edges sleek and polished all year long.
Spring: Combat Frizz and Allergies
Spring brings humidity and pollen, both of which can affect your hair. To maintain smooth edges:
-
Use a lightweight, anti-frizz edge control like Gator Grip Edge Control.
-
Keep a silk or satin scarf handy to wrap your edges when outdoors.
-
Wash your hairline more frequently to remove pollen buildup and excess sweat.
Summer: Fight Sweat and Humidity
Hot temperatures and humidity can cause sweat, leading to frizz and lifting edges. Here’s how to keep them in place:
-
Opt for a water-resistant edge control that provides long-lasting hold.
-
Apply a small amount of holding spray after laying your edges.
-
Avoid overloading your hair with product—too much buildup can make your edges look greasy.
Fall: Prevent Seasonal Shedding
As the weather cools, hair tends to shed more. To maintain your edges:
-
Keep your hair and scalp moisturized with lightweight oils.
-
Use a gentle brush to style your edges to prevent breakage.
-
Avoid excessive manipulation—over-brushing can cause thinning.
Winter: Protect Against Dryness and Breakage
Cold air can make your edges brittle and prone to breakage. To keep them smooth:
-
Apply a hydrating edge control to keep moisture locked in.
-
Wear a silk-lined hat to prevent friction and dryness.
-
Deep condition your hair regularly to maintain hydration.
Final Thoughts
Each season comes with its own set of challenges, but with the right products and techniques, you can keep your edges laid year-round. Stay consistent with your hair care routine, and don’t forget to adjust your products based on the weather!
