Tips for handling the "kitchen" area between touch ups?

[Glib Gurl]

Okay ladies. I'm trying to stretch my relaxers . . . and one thing that always sends me back to the salon chair sooner than I'd like is the new growth at my edges - especially in the back. Any tips for help keeping the "kitchen" under control (especially since I wear my hair in buns and ponytails a lot)?

Thanks!

Denman brush, shea butter, water, aloe vera. That's it
