Whether you’re into laid edges, as slayed by Rozonda Thomas, or just want your strands to be super sleek and well-groomed, you’ll need the right tools for the job. While you can definitely use a toothbrush to smooth and shape your baby hairs, a more effective (and more luxe) tool is an edge brush. These brushes are designed specifically with your wispy strands in mind, making them ideal for shaping and laying. They often have a small comb on one end for separating and smoothing your hair, while the brush bristles on the other can be used to lay your baby hairs.
For the best results, pair your edge brush with a good quality hair gel or pomade that’s moisturizing without being too greasy or stiff. Erica Legagneur, a stylist with mobile hair salon Yeluchi, says her favorite product to use is Design Essentials Sleek MAX Edge Control because it “has a light hold that’s perfect for my texture.”
Once you’ve applied your edge control to your baby hairs, gently brush them with your hair tool and a bit of taming spray to make sure they’re neatly shaped and held in place. Then, it’s time to rock your style!
