Here are the steps to lay your edges:

1. Moisturize your edges with a leave-in conditioner or oil. Make sure you start with dry edges.
2. Apply edge control or gel to the section you’re working with. Just dab your finger into the pot, then apply it to the baby hairs using a downwards motion. This will start to lay down your edges, giving them a little shine.
3. Use a brush or comb to smooth down your edges. You can use a toothbrush or a baby hair brush for this step.
4. Sculpt and style your edges using the brush or comb.
