00:00Another question that I always get from women is how to protect their edges. Women, you know,
00:09if you've been wearing extensions or braids, you tend to get a little thin around there. Or, like
00:15Lisa here, if you're transitioning and it's summertime, you don't know what to do to keep
00:20your edges nice and smooth. So I have a really quick fix for you. A couple hot tips. First off,
00:26don't use a lot of heat. Your edges are very thin. They're very fragile. You can lower the temperature
00:32on your flat iron or your curling iron before you start hitting those edges. Once you have your edges
00:38smooth, then the next step is keeping them smooth. And I know that sounds like hard work, but it's
00:44really easy. Get yourself a good edge tamer. And all you have to do is just lightly hit that hair on the
00:52edges and then use your finger or your comb just to smooth it down so it stays nice and smooth.
00:58If you only apply a little bit of product and only apply it when needed, then your edges will stay
01:04straight longer. So if it's the middle of the week and your edges are starting to revert or not laying
01:11as smooth as you would like them to, take a curling iron or a small flat iron and just heat it up till
01:18it's just warm. Not hot, but warm. Hold your hair back. Hold your edges smooth and lightly drag the
01:26iron across your edges no more than two times. That is enough heat to smooth the edges back out. If need
01:35be, then you can apply a little bit more of your edge tamer. Don't use a lot of product because when
01:41you use a lot of an edge tamer or a product on your edges, as the product starts to break down, it will
01:47get runny or oily and make your edges curl back up. So really just a little bit will do the trick. So
01:54remember ladies, low heat and a little bit of product and your edges will stay nice and smooth all day long.
