Edge Control | Short Relaxed Hair Tutorial | August 31, 2016
Edge Control is essential, but obtainable too.
There are lots of paths that lead me to a particular hairstyle. Sometimes it’s necessity, other times it’s an idea I come up with out of the blue and sometimes I may see something and feel like I want to try to recreate it on my own head.
Other times, however, the straight disrespect that my hair exhibits forces me into a style. Such is the case that led to the style that is currently upon us. Many lies are sold to us by society and one particular lie is that aging is a beautiful and graceful succession of events. LIES! They are all LIES!
In the past, my edges have never needed anywhere near the amount of attention they deem necessary to keep me from looking crazy. I don’t really know exactly when this happened, but things between us have changed. And now the amount of edge control needed is aggravating!
I have to be careful an intentional when it comes to my edges and this hairstyle displayed below is a direct result of that intent. The style is one that relies heavily on the appearance of full edges, which I crafted with the help of some amazing wrapping foam (Nairobi to be exact), and the just right flick of my wrist. The cuteness that came from my attempt at camouflaging less-than-full edges is a residual bonus that I’m happy to accept.
If you too struggle with edge control, or if you simply want to create a really cute style that shows off the full edges God saw fit to bless you with, have at it. The video below is a blow-by-blow tutorial of how I achieved this look and you can follow along and do the same.
If you would prefer the fast and dirty version of this style, go to my YouTube channel Kaye Wright and watch the 4 minute version. Also check out my video on how to cut your own hair into a pixie cut as well as my video on how to get the perfect mold on short hair.
Until next time, peace from your #pixiemom!
