Keeping That Backstage-Fresh Glow
Real talk: protective styles only work if you care for them.
I tell my clients to sleep on a silk pillowcase and to refresh their edges with a tiny bit of edge control every morning.
No need to redo the whole style.
A quick spritz of rose water keeps your scalp from getting itchy.
For touch-ups, if you notice frizz at the roots, just take a small toothbrush with some gel and smooth it down—it takes 30 seconds.
And don’t forget to moisturize your scalp every few days with a light oil; your hair is thriving underneath, so keep it happy.
