Warning – She uses a lot of heat. Really 1 or two passes of a flat iron* will suffice for most people.
I understand this method does NOT work for everyone. Everyones hair is different. I DO NOT DO THIS TO MY HAIR EVERYDAY THIS IS ONLY DONE ONCE EVERY 2-2 1/2 WEEKS. This is the method that works for me. Most people can apply this method to their hair. I have a sew in right now with my natural edges left out. I do not have a perm.

Waaaaay to much heat for me
I was just about to say the same thing.
Exactly! My hair couldn’t take that.
Well, of course they’ll lay flat after all that… 🙂
Same thing I was thinking. That is too much heat.
Right, we all know pressing and flat ironing will lay down your edges, even just pressing w/o oil or edge control. I thought it was something we didn’t know, strictly using edge control. 🙂
Let’s not create tutorials where the person demonstrating does it wrong, she uses way to much heat and then we get a warning telling us not too. E for effort. Looked good in the end, but some people may miss that part about too much heat if they are more visual learners.
It’s called getting some good gel and setting your edges with a scarf.
That method doesnt last for everyone, some people need more manipulation to their resistant edges. I like this tutorial because it is more suitable for blending natural edges with straight weaves.
It sure don’t work for me! No matter what I do to my edges they never lay flat
I guess so after all that frying
try CoN edge control! it works really well for me
Edge control is enough don’t need to go through all dat.
Works for me!
Love me some edge control
It’s enough for SOME, not all.
Decided to go natural last month.
Enjoy your journey. Exercise patience & YouTube will be a great resource.
Hang in there Kathy Maragh. I started my natural journey in July 2014. I have debated whether or not to return back to my carefree perm days. Well I didn’t and I am learning to appreciate having more money in my pockets. Try not to listen to everyone on YouTube It can be a little over whelming. Learn about your hair try a few products but don’t over indulge. Do not become a product hoarder like myself. Good luck on your natural journey.

What about wraps for your head Deondra Arms? I need something to cover my head up with on those frustrating hair days. I like sunshine abuwi(I think that’s her name) on you tube, but will def check out the ones you suggested. I’d like wraps with some flavor to them. African material maybe? With summer coming, I want to be prepared. Yikes!!!!
This video made me nervous honestly. That’s the method that works for this young lady. More power to her.
Not trying to assassinate my edges lol
That brush feel goooood Lolol every time she brush her tongue come out Lololol….fyi…use pink lotion and a scarf the night before and no hot comb on relaxed hair! Touch up or go natural
Will Pink Lotion work on 4c hair?
Lol smh #Jam and I’m not talking about MJ
Too much heat for me. Just use edge control and a silk scarf.
“Edges” gel works just fine.
I don’t mind heat…4 years natural no heat damage but I never put that much heat to my edges tho and when I have my curls I’ve never needed heat to lay my edges just some good gel or edge control and scarf 10 min or over night
I like wraping my hair with a silk scarf n Carol daughter elixir oil last 4 months
I never got that “lay ur edges” stuff. Not every type of hair can “lay” sleek. Embrace what you have with a good brush!!!!. Sometimes it looks so silly with the “edges” looking like type 3a and the body 4c.

Gorrilla Snot
I just put some water and leave in conditioner.
Thats a tutorial on how to lose your edges..I cannot..my edges are good
I thought to myself when I saw her using the hot comb and then following it up with a flat iron that she will be doing a follow up video about how to grow back your edges after all that extreme heat. My edges are fine and if they weren’t I definitely would not use this technique it will only make them disappear…..POOF!
So true..hair is delicate when it comes to your edges..I’ve never done that technique in currently using iaso 100% emu oil..can be used on the skin also!
THANK YOU!
This is a complex situation because some people who did her method has hair and it keeps growing out fully and others, who it doesn’t apply to. I respect it and support who ever try for this hair preservation movement. 1
I can see heat damage
I don’t brush my his at all fearless my edges. I like them wild
Never mix Oil n heat
Unless you’re about to fry something
Exactly!!
Uh duh! We all know a flat iron AND a hot comb will do the job. Post something for natural edges that doesnt require us damaging as well.
A product called gorilla snot works too.
With that much heat I am surprised that she even has any edges!
She doesn’t, look at all that scalp! If she’s still actively “laying” her edges, they’ll be gone in no time
So many women have so much, and now they don’t have any edges!
Gorilla snot doesn’t work for all textures. I have a frizzy curly type of her and it doesn’t lay my edges down. Any other suggestions?
Hicks edges
Sound like a plan. Where can you buy it?
I use eco style olive oil or camille Rose curl maker and a scarf
Sounds good. I’m in a small town and I don’t know if they sell these products.
Hicks order it from Amazon
You will end up with no edges after while with all the heat manipulation. NO THANKS!
Girl bye! Use some Eco styler gel a brush and put a doo rag for 20 min and your done!!
What’s wrong with her edges on the left side? Why must edges be so slick? Even though I have a relaxer I don’t like for my edges to be bone straight.
I haven’t used heat in the longest! My regimen, water mixed with camille rose revitalizing hair smoother, CR hair curler a brush and a scarf. That regimen will cause you to have no edges or thin ones.
Of course her edges are layed, that’s because they are dead!! Too much heat!!!! I would lay down too!
YOU, my dear, have me IN TEARS right now!
Girl I’m surprised she still has edges!!
Too much heat for my natural hair .
My edges will never lay down, my coiled hair ain’t havin it!
Good to see us all helping each other save them edges
If my hair doesn’t do this with out products i don’t need to do it.
Gel don’t work for everybody! Edge control don’t work for everybody! Flat iron don’t work for everybody and a hot comb don’t work for everybody! Stop the judgment if it works for YOU then do YOU! #ithinkshelooknice!
People don’t realize that what works for them or what’s best for them isn’t necessarily going to be the same for everyone else.
You should never apply oil before heat! You will lock in the heat to your hair strands causing an increase chance of heat damage
What’s the point of being natural.. curls passion fruit control paste for me is fine thank you..
Perm them, lol. I’m natural but I perm my edges, sorry but its less trauma than this
All the heat and oil is literally FRYING her edges… If she cut that out she would have edges that didn’t require so much!
Not healthy at all for ur hair
Black ppl have the most to say about hair and edges but barely have any.like damn! Shes showing how she likes it done. Maybe someone else likes her way too!
What pisses me off is before the natural movement came about back in the day our mother’s were using straighten combs on our hair and our hair turned out nice. Everyone has a different textures of hair. Do I use a flat iron yes I do, do I have my edges yes indeed but jeez, if that is what works for her then let her be… everyone doesn’t want kinky curly edges, just like some people want straight hair. Everyone has a preference, let’s just be positive because this tutorial may have helped someone who doesn’t know how to lay their edges flat and if It doesn’t work then try another method….not everyone wants a fro…ijs
I’m all for women embracing themselves and doing what works best for THEM, but this natural stuff is getting on my nerves.
I agree totally!
Amen! Couldn’t have said this any better!
People are just saying that its too much heat and it is. My mom use to straighten my hair with a hot comb but not with that many passes and def not flat iron afterwards.
Thank you Trina Smith I agree. I still use a relaxer because that is what works for me and my hair is still HEALTHY!!! But there are some natural hair nazis who will give me grief because I still relax my hair
Way to much heat. With all that heat she’s applying her edges will fall out soon. Just a little gel, with some water and a scarf to set for 15-20 mins will do the job.
I don’t mind heat but the hot comb AND then the flat iron is just over kill.
That is a lot of heat. I dont use that much in a year. Pass
OH HELL NO – TOO MUCH HEAT FOR ME…
I use coconut oil…hair brush and a silk scarf
I peeped every time she brushed her hair she licked her tongue lol. But wayyyy to much heat
No way….
Going natural for a year … What’s my best bet ???? What should I do… ?? I dyed my hair yesterday and trimmed all my ends … Now should I wear a weave???? Singles??? Fro??
Heat damage.
If she keeps that up she wont have any edges
She’s just damaging her hair with all that
all you really needs is the edge cream and it will do it without the heat.
TOO MUCH HEAT, SHE COOKING HER HAIR THIS WHY BROKEN AND THINNING.
PLUS, SH IS USING THE WRONG TYPE OF BRUSH. IT SHOULD BE NATURAL
NOT HARD PLASTIC. MADE FIBERS BREAK AND PLUS HAIR WHEN USING……
Did anyone else notice that brushing her edges makes her tongue pop out?
Why and for whom do I need to lay my edges down for?
Prostyle and handkerchief
You’re using too much heat on your hair baby.
oh. okay, well idk how im supposed to keep it straight
