My "Surefire" Bedtime Hair and Edges Routine....10 Weeks Post

We all have a ride-or-die nightime routine YET always open to suggestions for changes or improvements. Many don't have an edges routine...so for those of you who don't- consider this a gift.

I've been wearing my hair out for the last 2 months- with hardly any protective styling (doesn't always work for me) and have been really loving the way my hair feels after I wake up and style. I'm about 10 weeks post-relaxer and am really in need of a retouch but haven't had time to go. Here's what I use on my hair:

Bedtime Hair Routine:
-Kinky Curly Knot Today
-Moraccin Oil
-Bobby Pins
-Satin Scarf

Separate hair in 4 sections. Add almost a dime size amount of Kinky Curly to one section then one pump of Moraccin Oil to seal. Separate the section into about 3-4 pin curls then move on to the next section until done. Making sure when you get when you get the front two sections you don't pin the curls to close to your edges.

Speaking of edges...here's what I religiously do:

-Hairever Hair Tonic (available at Vitamin Shoppe and Amazon.com)
-Whipped Shea Butter (Nina Pruitt recipe) OR Kinky Curly Knot Today
-Aloe Vera Gel
-Baby Brush
-Satin Strip

Spray edges lightly with HairEver Hair Tonic. Then take a small amount of Whipped Shea Butter, rub it between your fingers and with your index finger apply it to your edges, brush lightly with baby brush. Last apply a quarter size amount of Aloe Vera Gel to the palm of your hand and apply with your index finger as you did the shea butter. It may look like you have alot of product on your edges but it will all melt nicely into your hair overnight. Place satin scarf strip around your edges and tie in between the top row of the last row (not too tight) of your pin curls. Last, place your satin scarf on your head so that it covers the satin strip and your pin curls.

If you workout in the mornings like I do, then keep your pincurls in and its very important to keep that strip around your edges. If it gets too wet after your workout change it to a dry one (I own like 4) but let your edges dry as much as possible then take off the scarf and you'll have smooth edges that will last all day.
