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.
Hair: velvet outre remi
lengths:14,16
Products used: Jamaican black castor oil*, creme of nature argon oil
Tricey Monae says
Waaaaay to much heat for me
Chevy Genous says
I was just about to say the same thing.
Angela Marshall says
Exactly! My hair couldn’t take that.
Krystal Monique Williams says
Well, of course they’ll lay flat after all that… 🙂
Kerimah Rogers says
Same thing I was thinking. That is too much heat.
Krystal Monique Williams says
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. 🙂
Lia-Rasheedah Henry says
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.
Blaque Diamondz says
It’s called getting some good gel and setting your edges with a scarf.
Nyala Nan says
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.
Knj Jasper says
It sure don’t work for me! No matter what I do to my edges they never lay flat
Nat Smith says
I guess so after all that frying
Chelsea Lowe says
try CoN edge control! it works really well for me
China Rebel Jones says
Edge control is enough don’t need to go through all dat.
Tangerine Etienne says
Works for me!
Tangerine Etienne says
Love me some edge control
Smile Seven says
It’s enough for SOME, not all.
Kathy Maragh says
Decided to go natural last month.
Serena Chrissette says
Enjoy your journey. Exercise patience & YouTube will be a great resource.
Theresa Thomas says
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.
Deondra Arms says
Naptutal85, natural4cme, mahoganycurls, naturalsisters on youtube
Kathy Maragh says
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!!!!
Sakina Pecchillo says
This video made me nervous honestly. That’s the method that works for this young lady. More power to her.
Tati Malone says
Not trying to assassinate my edges lol
Monique Cleaves says
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
Michelle Neal says
Will Pink Lotion work on 4c hair?
Joyce K. Williams says
Lol smh #Jam and I’m not talking about MJ
Yolana Green says
Too much heat for me. Just use edge control and a silk scarf.
Sheilah Bradshaw says
“Edges” gel works just fine.
Latoya Aaliyah Small says
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
Gigi Robinson says
I like wraping my hair with a silk scarf n Carol daughter elixir oil last 4 months
Debbie Rowe says
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.
Marie Noriega says
#dead
Terri Moore says
Gorrilla Snot
Amalfi Elizabeth Elibo says
I just put some water and leave in conditioner.
Jehni Thomas says
Thats a tutorial on how to lose your edges..I cannot..my edges are good
Theresa Thomas says
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!
Jehni Thomas says
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!
Kerimah Rogers says
THANK YOU!
Tamika Johnson says
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
Gynise Reese says
I can see heat damage
Wendy Jean-Louis says
I don’t brush my his at all fearless my edges. I like them wild
Alicia Beckles says
Never mix Oil n heat
Jamie Carter-Bailey says
Unless you’re about to fry something
Alicia Beckles says
Exactly!!
Dionna Johnson says
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.
Cecilia Carreras says
A product called gorilla snot works too.
Adrian Ray says
With that much heat I am surprised that she even has any edges!
Ashley Hooks says
She doesn’t, look at all that scalp! If she’s still actively “laying” her edges, they’ll be gone in no time
Norbert Swilley says
So many women have so much, and now they don’t have any edges!
Carolyn Gilbert says
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?
Denne'y Blackston says
Hicks edges
Carolyn Gilbert says
Sound like a plan. Where can you buy it?
Jamie Carter-Bailey says
I use eco style olive oil or camille Rose curl maker and a scarf
Carolyn Gilbert says
Sounds good. I’m in a small town and I don’t know if they sell these products.
Alexandrya Frazier says
Hicks order it from Amazon
Danielle Felix Richardson says
You will end up with no edges after while with all the heat manipulation. NO THANKS!
Erica Nicole says
Girl bye! Use some Eco styler gel a brush and put a doo rag for 20 min and your done!!
Shana Smith says
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.
Jamie Carter-Bailey says
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.
Roshelle Carree says
Of course her edges are layed, that’s because they are dead!! Too much heat!!!! I would lay down too!
Latanya Brailey says
YOU, my dear, have me IN TEARS right now!
Roshelle Carree says
Girl I’m surprised she still has edges!!
Shalaina Truegogetta Johnson says
Too much heat for my natural hair .
Nicky Moody says
My edges will never lay down, my coiled hair ain’t havin it!
Tashie Githiaka says
Good to see us all helping each other save them edges
Dabney Ross Jones says
If my hair doesn’t do this with out products i don’t need to do it.
Knj Jasper says
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!
Trina Smith says
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.
Farrah Roger says
You should never apply oil before heat! You will lock in the heat to your hair strands causing an increase chance of heat damage
Lynnet Ruiz says
What’s the point of being natural.. curls passion fruit control paste for me is fine thank you..
Nicole Nicci Nic says
Perm them, lol. I’m natural but I perm my edges, sorry but its less trauma than this
La Tesha Muhammad says
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!
CaliRhys Jones says
Not healthy at all for ur hair
Julissa Oneal says
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!
Melissa Russell says
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
Trina Smith says
I’m all for women embracing themselves and doing what works best for THEM, but this natural stuff is getting on my nerves.
Melissa Russell says
I agree totally!
Tanisha Banks says
Amen! Couldn’t have said this any better!
Chevy Genous says
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.
Kerimah Rogers says
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
Mel Matthews says
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.
Patricia Rosa says
I don’t mind heat but the hot comb AND then the flat iron is just over kill.
Shawnetta Jones-Mochabella Nursery says
That is a lot of heat. I dont use that much in a year. Pass
Monique Swygert Goode says
OH HELL NO – TOO MUCH HEAT FOR ME…
I use coconut oil…hair brush and a silk scarf
Lamesia Mimi Andrews says
I peeped every time she brushed her hair she licked her tongue lol. But wayyyy to much heat
Evelyn Allen says
No way….
Marie Noriega says
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??
Michon Schwartz says
Heat damage.
Aja Thompson-Dozier says
If she keeps that up she wont have any edges
Tiffany Anderson says
She’s just damaging her hair with all that
Gee Gee Garrison says
all you really needs is the edge cream and it will do it without the heat.
Toni Maxwell says
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……
Melinda Gray says
Did anyone else notice that brushing her edges makes her tongue pop out?
T Evette Mixson says
Why and for whom do I need to lay my edges down for?
Anjanette Anthony says
Prostyle and handkerchief
Khristan Pruitt says
You’re using too much heat on your hair baby.
Shayna Roach says

Khristan Pruitt says
