5 Tips for Maintaining your Edges

January 2, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , 4 Comments

Our hair edges are so delicate, and they have the power to make or break our look. This is why it is so important to care for them properly. I have real life experience of how easy it is to damage the hair edges and I did a lot of that in my younger days. Didn’t know better and was busy experimenting with all sorts of hairstyles that were damaging to my hairline. Luckily, I retraced my steps some years, and my edges are back and better. It’s not easy to regrow your edges but it is possible with the right haircare products and care.

5 Tips for Maintaining your Edges

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to grow your hair, you are on the right page. Here are 5 tips to help you maintain your edges –

Avoid tight hairstyles

To grow or maintain your hair edges, you would want to avoid tight hairstyles in general. The edges are the most fragile part of the hair, so hairstyles that strongly pull on the hairline is a no-no. You would also want to make sure whoever is making your hair doesn’t have an overly tight grip to avoid damaging your hair.

Nowadays, I do my cornrows myself because I am always rocking a wig or a turban, but many years ago, I had a hairdresser who had a very tight grip. It was horrible and it kind of messed up my hair, so I had to stop having her make my hair. Make sure you only have gentle hands touching your hair.

Stay away from heat

If it’s not possible to stay completely away from heat, then try to reduce using heat on your hair as much as possible. Excessive use of hair dryers, straighteners, flat iron and the likes can lead to hair dryness and breakage. I personally do not use any heat on my hair now and it has greatly helped my hair grow in a healthy way.

Wrap up for bedtime

Wrapping your hair with a silk scarf or bonnet for bedtime prevents the hair from losing oil and moisture, which leads to excessive dryness and hair breakage. I always wrap my hair with a silk scarf and a bonnet for extra protection. Just make sure, the scarf is resting on your forehead and not the edges to avoid unnecessary friction while you are sleeping. Using a silk pillowcase is also great for extra protection.

Keep your hair moisturised

To keep your hair edges healthy, make sure you moisturised them regularly. Depending on the texture of your hair, you might need to moisturise once a day for very dry hair or less frequently for oily hair. Natural oils like Coconut Oil, Black Seed Oils, are best for keeping your hair moisturised and shiny.

Be gentle with your edges

If I could summarise this entire blog post for maintaining your hair edges in 5 words, it would be – ‘be gentle with your edges’. Handle them with care and be consistent with the haircare routine to reap the benefits. It could take a long time to grow the edges back, but if you carry on with the tips and you are gentle with your hair, it will start to look nice again.

I will bee sharing some new haircare products I have been using on my hair and my daughter’s in a subsequent blog post, so keep reading.

Understanding the Different Skin Types

There are five basic skin types: Dry, Oily, normal, combination and sensitive. It is important to note that skin types are primarily determined by genetics and are not the same as skin conditions. Let’s do a quick rundown of each of these skin types;

1.   Dry Skin

Dry skin describes a skin type characterised by a dull and flaky appearance. Although pores are unnoticeable, people with dry skin typically notice fine lines and a feeling of tightness on their face, mainly because dry skin produces less oil compared to normal skin.

2.   Oily Skin

Oily skin is characterised by excessive sebum production, usually resulting in the skin looking shiny and greasy throughout the Tzone area with enlarged pores.

3.   Normal Skin

A normal skin type is one that is not too dry nor too oily. It can best be described as a well-balanced skin. People with normal skin typically have a radiant appearance and a smooth and even texture without visible pores.

4.   Combination Skin

A combination skin type is one with parts ( the T-zone area) that are oily and other parts that are dry(cheeks).

5.   Sensitive Skin

Also, sensitive skin is usually referred to as a skin type; it is possible to have sensitive, dry skin and also sensitive oily skin. This skin type is usually prone to external irritants and may appear reddish, itchy or dry when irritated.

How to Identify Your Skin Type

Discover the skin type you have through any of these methods;

1.   The Wash Test

This method involves watching how your skin looks and feels after a wash.

  • Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
  • Wait for 20 minutes without applying any skincare product.
  • If your skin looks dry and feels tight, you have a dry skin
  • If your face has a shiny appearance throughout, you have oily skin
  • If only your t-zone area appears shiny, you have combination skin
  • If your skin is hydrated and comfortable, you have normal skin.
2.   The Blotting Sheet Method

Alternatively, you can discover your skin type by pressing a blotting paper onto your skin.

  • Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry, and wait 30 minutes.
  • Press the blotting paper onto various areas of your face and hold to see the oil marking
  • If the blotting paper is soaked with oil from all areas of your face, you have oily skin
  • If you see little to no oil, you have dry skin
  • If the blotting paper absorbed oil from your t-zone area, you probably would have a combination skin
  • If there’s minimal oil from every area of your face, you have normal skin.

Discovering the skin type you have is not rocket science. With any of these simple methods, you can find out your skin type and learn how to better care for it
