There’s nothing that will ruin a hairstyle quicker than puffy edges. Elements that cause reversion, including water, perspiration, and humidity, may seem out of your control, and they are. This homecoming season, you may fall susceptible to all of the above, but that doesn’t mean that your hairline has to suffer. You can maintain smooth edges no matter the climate (parties included), with the help of a few hair essentials.
To prevent frizz from ruining your fun, we’ve created a fool-proof survival guide for keeping your edges intact. Below, find the editor-approved edge control products you need to add to your arsenal.
