What are you laying your Edges down w/?

[itismehmmkay]

Just cut my hair short and wanna lay the edges and front sides down some more. So far I've just been doing so while the hair is dry, but I'm thinking I'll need to mold those areas while wet. Any ideas? I currently use that Profectiv cream on dry hair, but after it dries my hair looks kinda dry and not as 'laid' as I want it. I'm thinking of trying wrapping foam/lotion while it's wet. It doesn't need to be a glazed/gelled look, but I do want it to look like it's supposed to be laying down that way and molded.

have you tried gel on damp hair, brushed and followed by a scarf for about 1/2 an hour?

 

[Ronnieaj]

I mist my hair and use with Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade or ORS Edge Control, then tied down with a scarf for as long as possible.

Elasta QP Mango Butter, old formula.

 

[nikolite]

A thick creamy lotion or my whipped shea butter and water.

ORS Edge Control is a beast on my edges. I'm 19 weeks in a stretch and it still lays them down. I read Keracare and Syntonics has one that's even better.

water, eco-styler gel, scarf and time.

 

[SuchaLady]

I use ORS Edge Control or either EcoStyler Olive Oil and a scarf. My hair responds best when wet.

Castor oil and a scarf, shea butter and a scarf, eco-styler and a scarf, edge control and a scarf.

I think really the scarf is the main thing that keeps my edges down...

Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade works great! I have also used ORS edge control, which isn't bad either.

This is not working for me. Every time I do my bun, my edges look like a mini curly afro around my head while the rest of my hair is laid. I hate it. I need something very natural but with more staying power. I'm 20 weeks and I dont plan on going back to relaxing.


Thanks for starting this thread OP.

I wish I could offer more help. I did very I lil slicking down while i was transistioning.

I think this is pretty good at laying my edges. And I agree that the scarf is the main thing that helps.

Bee Mine Curly Butter

 

[greenandchic]

Oyin Burnt Sugar or raw shea butter and a scarf in a pinch.

 

[Evolving78]

yes it does, but i mean it is the strongest thing i every used. but Keracare's wax stick is great too if you need something more oil-based.

shortdub78, does this product have water in it?
