Anyone ever permed their kitchens?

[CarmelCupcake]

Anyone ever permed their edges? I am so tired of my edges...they are driving me nuts...in order for me to keep them looking presentable, i have to flat iron them almost every, every other day. Any suggestions? Thank u ladies!

I can't imaging needing to heat up your edges almost every day. How do you primarily wear your hair? Are you tying your hair up at night with a good scarf?

OK, BEAUTYU2U, you need new glasses and while you're at it get me a new keyboard. You made me snort and spit my drink all over.

I read the samething lol...I relaxed my edges...well texlaxed and I'll tell u it is pointless. Those hairs shed and replace them selves very quickly! I had straight edges for 2 weeks max.

I wear my hair in a bun. As a result, all of my edges are exposed. Yea, i wear a good scarf at night, but by me not having a perm, my edges nap up

I guess I'd need to see what you mean by not presentable.erplexed If you have naturally curly hair, and you wear a bun, then I'd expect you to have curly edges.

What look are you trying to achieve with relaxed edges on top of curly hair? Can you try a gel?

I relaxed my edges one time. That hair ended up super bone straight while the rest of my hair was kinky. It looked crazy.

^^^I was just going to say, edges grow out. After awhile you'll have a straight perimeter around curly hair. That doesn't make sense to me.

 

[menina]

maybe try using the scarf method with some gel or pomade

How about that 'edge-control' product by ORS (I think) my dd swears by that...

My kitten is texlaxed TMI?


Hi OP... Are your edges a different texture than the rest of your hair? I found that when I was natural, I could get away with not having perfectly straight edges most of the time b/c they blended with the rest of my hair.

However, I know there are times for styling when you want the edges to be straight. I wouldn't recommend perming them. The last thing you want is for your edges to be the weakest hair on your head.

Try olive oil edge control I love it. Even though I'm texlaxed, my hair is not straight & neither are my edges. It works well & I don't have to use a lot of the product to see the effects.

OP, if you are using heat anyway, have considered the edgestick? I haven't used it long term but it worked well for me the last time I used it.

I'm assuming you're a straight natural?

I am going through the same thing. I wear my hair straight, so when I put it in a ponytail or bun, I like for my edges to lay flat. IMO, it just looks neater. I think a lot of the ladies here who are natural, wear their hair kind of kinky, or less straight, so having kinkier edges looks good with the styles they wear.

What I do is I flat iron my edges & then use edge control. It's not perfect because edge control doesn't have enough hold for me, but it will do until I find a perfect combination. HTH.
