Edges on 4D hair

Edges on 4D hair can be a bit tricky, but with the right techniques and products, you can achieve a sleek and defined look! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do edges on 4D hair:

Products needed:

– Edge control or hair gel
– Hair serum or oil
– A fine-tooth comb or a detangling brush
– A hair tie or clip (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep your hair: Before styling your edges, make sure your hair is freshly washed and conditioned. Towel-dry your hair until it’s damp, but not soaking wet.
2. Apply a hair serum or oil: Use a small amount of hair serum or oil to moisturize your edges and help keep them in place.
3. Use a fine-tooth comb or detangling brush: Gently comb or brush your edges to remove any tangles or knots.
4. Apply edge control or hair gel: Use a small amount of edge control or hair gel to define your edges. You can apply it to your comb or brush and then apply it to your hair.
5. Style your edges: Use the comb or brush to style your edges as desired. You can slick them back, curve them, or create a swoop.
6. Secure with a hair tie or clip (optional): If you want to keep your edges in place all day, you can use a hair tie or clip to secure them.
7. Finish with a hair spray (optional): To keep your edges in place all day, you can use a light hold hair spray.

Tips:

– Use a small amount of product to avoid weighing your hair down.
– Be gentle when combing or brushing your edges to avoid breakage.
– Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to minimize tangles and knots.
– Avoid using too much heat styling tools, as they can damage your hair.

Remember, the key to achieving sleek and defined edges on 4D hair is to use the right products and techniques. With a little practice, you’ll be a pro in no time!

Good luck ❤

Styling 4c hair

I picked out some of my favorite 4c hairstyles 🙂

Here are some hairstyles for 4c natural hair :

– Two-strand twists: This hairstyle involves splitting a section of your hair into two equal parts and then wrapping both parts around each other from roots to tips.

– Puff with bangs: This is created by leaving some hair in front, brushing the rest of your hair up, and securing it with a band.

– The halo: Also called the crown, this simple yet chic hairstyle is achieved by braiding the hair from both sides of the head to meet at the back.

– French roll: One of the easiest to create, this hairstyle involves sectioning your hair in front. Next, you sweep one side of your hair to the middle and secure it with bobby pins.

– Three-strand twist: This hairstyle is created by splitting a section of your hair into three equal parts and then wrapping each part around the other to create a finish uniquely distinct from the two-strand twists.

– Straw curls: One of the best ways to get well-defined bouncy curls, this hairstyle can be created by rolling your hair with a pack of straws.

– Flat twists: Another member of the Twists family, flat twists are an alternative to the traditional cornrows. This hairstyle involves weaving the hair into twists that lay flat on your head.

– The Cinnabun: This hairstyle is created by first brushing and securing the hair into a puff with an elastic band, followed by rolling some strands of that puff from tips to roots and then pinning it down.

– Frohawk: This hairstyle is a blend of the “afro” and the “mohawk” hairstyles, hence the portmanteau “frohawk”. It is created by sweeping and pinning both sides of the hair to the middle part of the head and then leaving the hair in the middle to hang loose.

– Bantu knots: This hairstyle is a way to celebrate your African roots. It is done by rolling a section of your hair to form a knot.

Good luck styling your hair ❤
