How To Lay Your Edges For Beginners | Detailed Step-By-Step Tutorial | Products, Tools, Tips

Hi guys welcome or welcome back to my channel if you're new here my name is india, also known as indie bindi or indie bendy, braids and hi. Let'S get straight into the tutorial, so first i'm combing through my baby hairs or my adult hairs edges whatever you want to call them. It'S definitely more than the regular, because i'm going for a more dramatic look and after combing, through i'm, going to take my 1 4 inch flat iron. Now this is like a thin flat iron for small hairs and it's very useful for curling your edges. So i'm curling it toward my face and i'm being very careful while doing this, you want to get as close to the base of your hair as possible without burning yourself, but if you're not able to go super super close toward the base. That'S okay, too. You know it's not that serious. So, of course you know curling your baby hairs or your edges is very much optional. You do not have to do this, no one's forcing you to put heat on your edges and to be completely honest with you. Some of my edges are like straight now, because i do this not even that often my hair is just very susceptible to heat damage. So if you care about those things, maybe this isn't for you, but personally i don't care. Hair will grow back. You know in most cases, so it doesn't really bother me. I also want to address that. You don't need baby hairs or swoops to make a style look cute. Okay, sometimes my edges are just free as they can be, and i don't care because that's just the way that my natural hair grows in and sometimes i really cannot be bothered to even try to change that. I just let it do what i do, but on some days i do love a good swoop. So this is one of those days so by curling my edges, they kind of stay put in like where they need to be and they're a lot more easier to shape into the shape that i want them to be, and you're gon na see exactly what i Mean when i start to style them, okay, product wise, i'm using my style factor, edge booster and i know, there's a whole bunch of different colors. But i don't know i chose gray because it smelled good, but i'm using the one that says for thick and coarse hair, not the one that says like water-based or something, and i'm also using this comb that has a little brush and a little comb. On the end, and first i'm going in with the comb side and i'm kind of molding the shape that i want the edges to swoop. So i'm not really using a lot of product, maybe a little bit so that it stays in place kind of. But this is essentially a rough draft, so i can see what direction i want my swoops to go in now, i'm using the brush side that has the product on it and i'm swooping the hairs into place, and i already did a little rough draft in the Previous step, so i kind of already know what i'm going for edgewise. So i'm doing like a swoop there's so many different ways that you can do your edges by the way. But right now i'm really feeling like that swoop that like curl kind of loop-de-loop style, so that's what i'm going for, i'm also using the comb side to sharpen up the edges. So you can see i'm going to use the comb to kind of make that straight edge at the bottom, so that it loops into itself - and it looks clean so to get the loop to stay. I'M taking some of the style factor edge control product and i'm putting it on my finger and kind of just like wiping it on top of the loop so that it can kind of like stick to itself. And i'm going to show you guys towards the end of the video, how i get my edges to stay in place all day or all night, so for the number of swoops that you should do it's really up to you. You can do two swoops three soups. Four swoops, whatever i feel like three really fits my hairline well, so i did one swoop going to the left two going to the right and then my little sideburn piece. You can also put them in the same direction so they can all go toward the right. But i find it kind of cute when one's going in like the opposite direction, give it some variety, and so that's why i did the one all the way at the top going to the left and the rest to the right. Sometimes my widow's peak hairs do come out as well, but i try to just push those back into the braid because i personally don't like making a swoop in that area because it never stays, and i have no clue why. Maybe the hair on my widow's peak is like my actual forever real hair, so it never stays no matter what product i use, so i kind of just skip over it completely. So here is the secret for them to stay all day. It'S the got to be free spray and i just go over and spray them with this spray, and this is the secret for them to stay all day all night, don't even matter what i'm doing it really just holds it down. Okay. So this is the end of the video. Thank you guys so much for watching i'm almost at 100k, i'm literally screaming and crying and throwing up. Thank you guys for watching. I love you guys.
