Ladies, whether you are on the low cut or long hair, there is nothing more embarrassing than having your hair  edges  chopped off. That is why it is important we take care of our hair edges not just our hair alone. You don’t want to keep on hiding the chopped edges under clothes or scarves. Your edges lay the foundation for your hairstyles. It sets the tone for your facial features to come out beautiful. So let’s do well to work on our hair edges. The following tips would help:

1. Limit use of extensions or high maintenance styles that pull or put tension on your edges.

2. Be careful of headbands and hats

Make sure to always look  for headbands with a silk lining, or use a thin satin scarf in between your hat and your hair. Satin or silk will protect your fragile edges from catching or breaking on hats.

3. Wrap and protect your edges at night with a silk scarf or bonnet

Good  fabric (even the cotton of your pillowcase) will absorb oils and moisture from your hair, making it dry and brittle. Friction with the pillowcase will also snag and break your edges. Tie the scarf on your forehead instead of directly on your edges, to avoid friction.

4. Massage edges with natural oils

Use use to keep moisturized and stimulate growth. The oils themselves stimulate growth and protect and strengthen your hair, and massaging your scalp also stimulates blood circulation and promotes growth.  It could be any form of essential oil or natural baby oil . But make sure your hair is never dry but always shining .

5. Don’t overtouch Your hair

Your edges are fragile, and you would be surprised how many people lose their edges by absentmindedly pulling at them. Tensile stress can cause breakage and inability to the hair to grow on time so you need to handle them with great care.

6. Deep condition regularly

To strengthen your edges (along with the rest of your hair.) We recommend NaturAll Club’s  Avocado Deep Conditioner or you can also try the egg white treatment recipe ( this involves using applying some egg white to your hair for about twenty minutes after washing them , then wash up using warm water) for best results, which only contain natural ingredients that nourish, moisturize, and strengthen your hair.

7. Whenever you moisturize your hair, add more to your edges

Dry hair increases risk of breakage, and your edges are particularly vulnerable. Give them special attention and care, and always seal in moisture to prevent them drying out and breaking.

8. Fill your diet with vitamins and nutrients.

Your hair and your edges need them to grow and maintain strength. You can take fruits which are highly reach in vitamin such as oranges, berries etc

9. Stop using heat

Since your edges are the most fragile hairs on your head, heating tools have the potential to completely fry them. If your edges are thinning, take a break from heat, and even if your edges are healthy, turn down the heat and use it less often.

10. Be patient!

Growing back your edges takes time. But if you follow these steps, you’ll get the results.
