Straight natural 🫶
Hey, has any other straight naturals tried relaxing your edges? The perimeter of my head doesn’t stay as straight as I would like after a while.
My silk press would still be very nice but I don’t like how my edges curl right back up and get dry and start to break off. #straightnatural
Maintaining smooth edges is a common challenge for those with straight natural hair. Relaxing edges can help immensely, but it's essential to approach it correctly to avoid damage. Consider using natural oils like jojoba or argan oil to hydrate your edges. These oils can help retain moisture and promote healthy hair growth. Additionally, protective styles can reduce the stress on your edges. Create a loose twist or braid in your hair to minimize manipulation. Regular deep conditioning treatments are also critical; they help to restore and maintain hair elasticity. Finally, avoid using excessive heat when styling, as this can lead to dryness and breakage of your edges. Finding the right balance will allow you to enjoy a sleek look while keeping your hair healthy.
