We all love our edges, especially the way it adds extra spice to our hairstyle. These same edges that spice up your hairstyle are also the most fragile parts of your hair and it doesn't take so much effort from them to pull out. This means that they usually need extra tender love and care (TLC) when you are combing, styling, or washing your hair.
How do I ensure that my edges are protected while styling and combing my hair?
- Massage them with natural oils to keep them moisturized.
- Deep condition them together with your hair.
- Avoid touching them. Most times, we pull them off absent mindedly.

I’ve tried other leave-in conditioners and hair sprays and even real perfume. I was too ashamed to go on a hot date because my hair smelled too weird. I smell it all day on my head. I didn’t notice any growth yet and it’s been about 2-3 weeks but it’s very soft. It may be too early to see growth. I don’t think I’ll continue using it because it stinks too much." - Star

11. Taliah Waajid Protective Styles Hairline
Product Claim: Aids in repairing and restoring damaged, thinning areas.
"Giving this product a 1 star because "its small" is not fair to the integrity of the product itself. IT WORKS! I purchased this on July 13 and use it daily and still have more than half of the tiny jar left. The description tells you the size so makes no sense to be upset that it's small. Use it for a few weeks then rate it based on EFFECTIVENESS, not size. I use a small amount on my scalp daily and I swear my hairline is improving and hair growing. I will continue to purchase this because it works and it's worth the money. Less than $7 for a product that lasts a few months even after being used daily- and it actually works? Just buy it already. For reference, I have thin/fine curly hair 2c." - Rosa LuMing.

19. Hair Thickness Maximizer
Product Claim: Fills bald spots plus results in thicker and fuller hair.
"I really like the Hair Thickness Maximizer product. I purchased it in Black and Gray, with the gray one for my mother. I tried the black one, and the fibers are very light and sit on the scalp easily. The product is perfect to add volume to thinning areas of the scalp. The only aspect that might need a bit more research is, how to ensure some minimal gloss in the fiber. For example, I felt the black is matte textured (like any powder would naturally be), but if my hair is shiny, then there might be a slight difference in texture. However, considering the usage, this is quite ok unless one looks very minutely (which rarely happens). This, for the majority of cases, the product works just fine, and I am very glad to have purchased it!' - MB.

20. Virgin Hair Fertilizer
Product Claim: Cures dandruff, conditions dry hair, and causes rapid growth.
"I have been using this product for a little over 2 weeks now and I can already see a difference. My edges have been through some things over the past few years due to braids, wigs, etc. and it has caused them to be super sensitive. I feel like if you breathe too close to them they disappear lol! Recently (the last few months) I have stopped wearing my braids and wigs to give my hair a break, and as usual, my hairline took a hit. I have been using JBCO for a while to help restore and although it has helped slightly, I’ve felt it’s been taking quite a while to see a huge difference. I came across this YouTube video showcasing this product, I overlooked it at first but then recently gave in and ordered it. So glad that I did. I see a difference that was much faster than using the JBCO. Can’t wait to see how much growth I’ll get after a few months is using it.
2-month update: I am amazed at how much my hairline has filled back in. This stuff is the bomb! I use it twice a day every day." - Butterflybeauty713.
