1. Avoid Tight Hairstyles
Tight hairstyles, such as high ponytails, braids, and buns, can cause excessive tension on your edges. This tension can lead to breakage and thinning. Instead, opt for looser hairstyles that are gentler on your hairline and definitely leaves your edges out when doing most hairstyles.
2. Cleanse and Moisturise Regularly
Your hair needs to be clean and moisturised. Dry hair is more susceptible to breakage, so keeping your edges cleansed, and moisturised is a must. Use cotton pads with actives like salicylic acid to cleanse and use light oils, leave-in conditioners, or moisturizing creams to maintain your hair's elasticity and strength. Regular moisturising helps prevent dryness and promotes healthy hair growth.
3. Use Satin or Silk
Cotton pillowcases and scarfs can cause friction, leading to breakage and dryness. Switching to satin or silk can make a significant difference. Slonee offers a range of silky satin products, including pillowcases, bonnets, and scarf, designed to protect your hair while you sleep. These materials reduce friction, helping to maintain your hair’s moisture and prevent breakage.

4. Gentle Handling
How you handle your hair matters. At Slonee we say indulge in beautiful selfcare moments. We believe haircare is selfcare. It is important to be gentle when styling or touching your edges. Avoid excessive brushing or combing, which can weaken and break the hair. Instead, use your fingers or a soft-bristle brush to style your edges gently. Being mindful of how you manipulate your hair can go a long way in preserving your edges.
5. Protective Styles
Protective styles are an excellent way to shield your edges from damage, but it’s important to choose styles that are not too tight. Give your edges a break between styles to allow them to recover and grow. Loose braids, twists, and wigs are all great options that can protect your hair while keeping your edges intact.
