Try it every time you have to wash your face.

I have come to accept, and eventually, love my frizzy edges, and don't even bother my head about them anymore.<br /><br />I am one of those people whom Aloe vera gel doesn't work for. Edge-control, edge-taming? Those words don't even exist in my hair dictionary, lol.African Naturalistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959650242643247597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-40580123245490944832014-04-20T10:30:39.123+01:002014-04-20T10:30:39.123+01:00Lol!

For a long time my edges were the bane of my life! I'd put my hair in a bun and it will be messy because my egdes were too short. I got so mad one day, I shaved them all off to give them a fresh start. I used weaves with bangs to hide my monk like style...lol!<br /><br /> It has changed now and grown considerably longer. Here are some steps I took that may have made a difference.<br /><br /> I think using pure aloe vera gel really helped cos it kept the fine hair moisturised and gave light hold.<br /><br /> I also made sure I rinsed off products from my edges and then sealed with a light coat of castor or shea. I feel they were thick enough to protect them from night time friction.<br /><br /> Not using brushes to tame flyaways also helped. I use my fingers instead.<br /><br />When I braid with extensions, I make larger sections on the edges and use a smaller amount of extensions than the rest of my hair so the extensions don't weigh them down.<br /><br />Hope this helps...<br />Hadassah A.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6143366796764247140.post-6860918782717019342014-04-16T17:19:00.802+01:002014-04-16T17:19:00.802+01:00Lol.
