2. Switch up your hairstyles.
Have you ever heard the phrase that humans are a creature of habit? Well, the same can be said about our hair. When we consistently do hairstyles that are rough on the edges, or edges will continue to look bad. However, if you switch your hair up from time to time, this will help make sure that your hair grows evenly all around. Yes, that includes your edges!
3. Take care of your hair under that weave.
This one is a biggie when you’re looking at protecting your edges. Whether it’s a sew-in or a wig, your edges have the potential to be in danger. With sew-ins, the culprit is having your base braids too tight. If you have a headache after getting your hair braided, chances are the hair is too tight and there’s almost a 100% chance that your edges are being pulled and can break off if the tension continues. With a wig, things are a little different. If you are wearing a lace wig, be sure to stick to the glueless type. Make sure you don't wear the wig too tight to prevent excessive pressure around the circumference of your hairline. If you’re getting a sew-in, tell your stylist to go easy on your edges so that they won’t break off or get thin. Tight is good, but it’s not worth going bald over. In the meantime, keep your edges nice and moisturized when you’re wearing your weave. Hair tends to only get brittle and break off when it’s too dry. You can also strengthen your hair from the inside out with hair vitamins. We recommended Shedavi's Hair Growth Vitamins to give your hair the nutrients needed to prevent breakage.
