Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Irritants

It goes without saying that harsh chemicals and irritants should be avoided whenever possible. While you should aim to use as little chemicals as possible, it is not always feasible. You should opt for hair products with the least amount of harmful ingredients (like alcohols and preservatives).

Instead, consider products that use more protective ingredients like carrier oils, essential oils, and plant extracts. These will often work just as well as the chemical-laden products while also protecting your edges from further damage.

Change Your Protective Styles Frequently

We all have a tried-and-true hairstyle we love. But wearing your hair in one style too often can cause stress on the same hair strands continuously. This increases the chances of thinning edges. The solution is to change up your styles frequently enough to avoid stress in one area for too long.

For best results, alternate sleek, pulled-back styles with styles that allow you to wear your edges out. This will give the hair follicles time to repair so the edges may regrow naturally.
